notice will prevent much confusion: 3t
The Pennsylvania Reserve Corps--Cred.•
tiling of Pennsylvania Veteran Troops
to other States. . .•
The State authorities have been:anxiously
laboring for the achievement of two great pur
poses, affecting the, interest and the glory of
the volunteers of Pennsylvania. In the first
place, Gov. Curtin has been extremely solici
tous for the welfare.of the RcServe Corps, the
preservation of its organization and the, filling
up of the reghnents of which it is composed, to
their maximum strength. Lately a dispoisition
was 'manifested to divide this veteran.corps,
consolidate, its -regiments, separatejihem, and]
thus utterly extinguish an organization around
which clusters not only the affection of the .
people of Pennsylvania, but the . admira
tion of the people of all the loyal States. We,
are happy now to announce, that the intention
of dividing the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps
has been abandoned. It will henceforth pre
serve • its original organization, and orders:
have been or will shortly be issued for the:
return of the regiments of which it is come'
posed, to the State, here at once to enter' on
active recruiting operations for:theirimmediate
filling up. The people of the State Will re
ceive this announcement with joy and grati
tude, and however anxious localities are for
the recruiting of regiments, in which they are
directly interested, to their maximum strength,
there is not a township ora Ward in tie Com
monwealth but will gladly, contribute their
share of men to fill the decimated ranks of the
gallant Reserves.
—The other object secured by Gov. Curtin
during his late visit to iWashington,* relates
to the annoying and unfair practices of other
States, in sending agents to the army to tempt
veteran Pennsylvania regiments re-enlisting to
credit themselves to localities within such
States. An order has been issued to Colonels
of Pennsylvania regiments to expel such agents
from their camps, and at the same time pro
viding for.the punishment of those Who vio
late the regulations on the subject This
order, in connection with the lawlately passed
I'4 the Legislature., forbidding the agents of
other States to enter Pennsylvania to recruit,
will save our people from all further annoy
ance on, thembject. Pennsilvaniahaaldready
contributed too many non to: fill up the quotas
of other States. Ohio, New YorkOlaryland
and New Jersey, with far-off California, have,
had the ranks of their regiments largely re
cruited from among our people, and it is
about time that the system was stopped. The
authorities as well as the people, seem to think
that the imposition' has been ~'played out,"
and hence the action of Gov., Curtin in vas . -
tion thereto. • • •
Something Practical in the Way or
American Representation Abroad.
The diplomacy of the• United Statei has
never been in a condition to cope successfully
with the diplomats of the old world. Not that
we lack in men of accompliihment, men of
sterling worth and ability, but that we were
deficient in the training essential to success
in such affairs. It is oqually important to
educate a man for consular duties and,diple
matic _affairs, as it is to instruct and . qualify
him for service in the field or on the wave. Men
study law and physic for years—go throrigh a •
regular training to becoine proficient in both,
and are only'capable of - graduating after the
most severe examination. The same rules are
observed in adapting,...men for the army and
navy. They, are oducat4and. trained for the
profession of arms.. Why, then, shobld not
Men be educated and trained for the profes
sion of diplomacy? There-la no good reason
why this should not be done by-bur Govern
ment, particularly when the Gesiernments of
Europe ceMpel those who • aspire to consular
and dtplomatm positions, . pass through
regular • grades of service. and instrucition,
before they are entrusted' with the d r iS'olutrge
of duties involving the greatest ; .tespcn.sibili
ties. The cliploruats > of...Europe are a pro
fession,- as distinctive as are . onrnien of lair
and'PhYsic, of the surplice or of arms. Sue
cessfully to cope with Such' a profession, we
naust educate young amen in diplomacy and
consular duties. By'such a training, we will
be able more, practipally, opretect,,'the in
terests and the rights of our trade and cit
izens abroad, and iceep thenation from much
difficulty in its intercourse With foreign Gov
ernments.

Merit ...pure`a§d'ilie people safe. F The press
has-defen.deir the right and denounced the
wrong. , The' press has, in a large degree,
contributed most to the development of the
power of the people for self-government; and
if we•except a few individual characterswho
have, control of, public journals, and who use
them n 1 for their own self - aggrandizement,_
even: e glory and the dignity, the influence
and the grandeur of our system of Government,
owe their present elevation and future safety
fira free press! 'hat, then, mould we become,
if the liberty of this powerful influence was
circumscribed? And yet an attempt was , lately
made to intimidate those in the employ of
certain journals in the two great cities of
this Commonwealth, and to deter' them from
that bold expression of, opinion in reference
to public men and measures, which is the
pride and, the glory of the American journal
ist. It seems that:the utter inconsistency
tuadundigrdfted conduct of one Toe Rex, a mem
ber of the Legislature from Montgomery
county, had attracted the attention of certain
newspaper correspondents, as it had so fre
quently elicited the-disgust and chagrin alike
of members and visitors to the House of Rep
resentatives. These correspondents justly and
deservedly excoriated Ilex—portraying his acts
most graphically and so completely presenting
him, to the contempt of the people, that Joe
sought vindication in an investigating commit
tee. By this course, the fellow Re tuallY imagined
;tliathe could intimidate the . entire independent
press of the country. 'Because he had ;been
'fairly referred to and justly denbunceel, he es
sajed to place, an obstruction "On the pen of
every correspondent in the State capital, and,
if possible, pillory the editor of every jour
nal in the Commonwealth. Of course Rex
•failed, as all hypocrisy _fails, when it seeks
contact with impartial investigation. The
committee which the Montgomery county cop
perhead had fornietteOuld gather no testimony
satisfactory to themselves, or at all to the
pleasing of .Rex, •as the report of its pro
whiCh we publish this morning, es
tablishes. The correspondent of the
who unmasked Rex, acknowledged the deed,
and there the matter rests. That correspond
'ent,,in his allusions to Rex, was only exereis
ing his highest franchises as a journali4; and'
there is no power, in the Legislature to inter
fere with' this-right and • liberty: Was, such
power „Vested in that body; was the liberty of
the press at the disposal and the iiehest of
such charlatans as Rex, NVO might,bid farewell
to freedom, and prepare our necks for the
tilave6 of copperh4dism.
The minority report which Rex has made
on this subject, expresses hiselarp . iises in fall
in - asking for' the ' investigation. 'Jctknis of
the 'spotless character—unable, to emulate
the dignified course—and withiug.Tinillorthe
powerful ritifhibnce, of the ehainnim of the
'Committee of Ways and Means, Rex: sought
by inucndo arid insinuation, to bring Mr.
Bighanitfo reproabh. It washis desire to insult
and annoy thegentleman from Allegheny, and
hence Rex called for this investigation. With
a proper sense of what was right find honor
able, tip majority of the committee refused to
Calllldrighitm. They tile* that the mo
tivo pro i mpting Rex to ask for his suinmans,'
was base t and cowardly. They knew that Mr:
-Bigham- had more important labor to did•z
charge than hunting down amagognes; and
in declining to allow ltex le insult that gen
tleman, the committee deserve the thanks of
every true man in thel;egislature. i -

We learn from' the Cireensburg - Herald, the
Col. Dick Coulter, of the veteran and glorious
old "Eleventli,"has succeeded in filling his
regiment, and will leave Westmorelankcounty
in a few days for the Army of the Potomac: If
those who enlistelito fill up the ranks of the
"Eleventh," are as good as those who fell in
the conflict in which that regiment was en
gaged, the new
„organization will add still
brighter laurels to those which cluster around
the deeds of the old:

WAimaNaTos, March 18,
Several days ago information WAS sent hither
by one of the bridge - guards on the Virginia

He was promptly advieed by the military au

From this trifling incident' exaggerated ru

If there is any excitement here, it is con

by official request. No authority exists for
him to raise troops. •
