is Something so historically truth
fal in the following paragraph -from the
Lewlsburg Ohretnicle t as to deserve & wide,
circulation. Themen to whom it refers j
have oeriainly survived the vilest slanders
and the hlttercst assaults, that were ever
oonoocted or waged to destroy any faithful
public servant; : They have
splr&cy as bitter ( as that which la how
straggling to launihil&te the Union) and
may be regarded as types of the loyal ele
ment which is alone equal to the suppres
sion of the slaveholders'rebellion: | :
•*hio men have been more abused hy the
enemies of the Administration, eontlj sod
north, than the two namjed above. *Wo
think the greatest mistako the President
has made, was in losing the services of
those men,* in deference to an erroneous, if
not traitorous publio opinion. Fremont's
-protection of St. Louis,' made it a splendid
-base'of|. operations. His eatay starting of
Urn gunboats proved the saltation of many
of onr armies, and the loss to the rebels of
• maay cities. His mode of dealing with the
‘ staves of the outlawed, is what the govern
ment has had to oome to, at last. And had
he been properly sustained by Shields and
MqDoweU in the valley of the Shenandoah,
he would have captured the army of
Stonewall Jaokson, and. thus pfertiaps pre
vented ail oursubsequent disasters' in Cen
tral Virginia. And so with Cameron ; he
qarly; advocated, whiler.the north was
warmer and more united, calling out; a
m ilU on of men, to conquer and possess jus
they Went. He jad vised the cavalry now
needed, and also to use the power of . the
slaves in favor of the Union, and not
against it All; see, now, that those views
were correol: both those gentlemen reali
ied and foretold the extent and power of
the rebellion, and wisely foreoast adeqipt*
means to check it. One year's sad reverses
'finds them again more in the confidence of
the people and of the administration than
they were some monthaalncs.i .
The Efficacy ot the Proclamation ol
freedom*
' jji 2 ((man preached by Che Rex. W.
H. Chashiho, in the Senate Chamber,
Washington city, on Sunday last; this sub
ject referred to and illustrated:
The efficacy! of this proclamation will bo;
shown in the broadest enunciation which;
we ean'gixe to this word—freedom. ;The;
winds will waft it, the mere elasticity of
, the springing bnd will.scatter it broadcast,
over'the Republic. Coming' to all 1 our
homes are,freemen, and freemen will be its
glad messengers. More than this, we can
demand, and: we can see that the demand
is enforoed, that all who head our erode*
exery whore, and all [who go forth as the
embodiment of the law and of the Goxem

home, treacherous allies of the South
among us, who say there will be no effeo
tixeness in this word, although your efforts
may deaden our en'thnsiasm and strike at
the williand energy of the Exeeutixe, ft
cannot be that a word of such power as
this will fail in its effioaoy wherexer it Is

and will no doubt submit the result of their
labors to the Legislature, to whloh I Invite

In soeoriaooe with the Act of 10th of Feb
ruary, 1862, the quota of this Bute of the di
not Uxof tho United States, amounting to
one million,ninehnndredend forty-sis thons
end seven hundred end nineteen dollars end
thirty-three cent*, we* on the ldthof June,
1863, paid to the United States, pertly by e
relinquishment of e portion of the sums olelm
•d by thle Stete from tho Government end
pertly in cash, efter dednoting the fifteen per
eent. ellowed by* the eot of Oongress for
prompt payment. Pennsylvania thus peld
her floota oMhe direot tax before eny other
State. There is still due to the State, prlnoi
pslly for advanoes sinoe made for transpprta-
Uon and equipments of. volunteers, about
three hundred thousand, dollars.
On the 20th of February last, I Issued my
warrant- authorising the State Treasurer to
i deliver to the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
Company one thousand |of the bonds deposit
ed with the state In conformity with the Aet
of May 7.1891. On tbfc JOth of November I
iuued a similar warrant. Both warrants
were granted after recelvingreperti from Jno.
A. Wright; Esq., the commissioner appoint
ed for . the pnrpose, that the proceeds
of the bonds previously issued had been
appropriated In aooordanoe with the provis
ions or the law. The company has. now re
ceived three of the five millions of bond* de
posited In the State Treasury. With the pro
ceeds of the bonds issued, fifty-two miles of
road have been oompleted, making with what
had formerly been finished,a total of one hun
dred and ninety-nine miles,, leaving eighty
nine miles unfinished, of which nearly all is
snded and ready for tho iron. The bonds
still in the Treasury will yield an nmonnt esu-
Ae to complete the road,. and thus open tills

dred and #ixty dollars and thirty cents.
Thii burden <>o the hjuhfl become heavier I
than in my judgment ought to be borne by j
anv special intere. I :
Unless the Lcgi-suturo should otherwise
provide it will be the duty of tbe'Stete Trea- !
surer to pay in like manner the internet which I
will fall due hereafter. We should all be
careful not to violate the faith or impair the
•jrodit of tho Commonwealth. The serious
and early consideration of the Legislature is
Invited to the whole subject.
Iu my opinion-ibex© are already more In
corporated banks iu the Commonwealth than
are at prerent required for the publlo eon»en
lenoe, and I therefore recommend that no
more shall bo Incorporated.
Oil the 7th of J aly last, a call was made by
the President for threo hundred thousand vol
unteers. This State had already supplied
nearly one hundred and ten thousand men,
yet bor people p-otnpily bestirred themselves
»r respond to this new requirement. Al
though it was believed that no bounties
would bo neoessary to induce tho men of
Pennsylvania tlo enter the oervioe of their
country on 6UOQ an occasion, yet as some of
the neighboring States offered large boun
ties, it was thought not right to expose oar
eiticent to the temptation 'thus afforded to
them to enlist in regiments o? other Statee.
There being no appropriation for the pay
ment of bounties, I, ot course, could nut, di
rect them to be paid out of tho treasury, and
jt was evident that to call the Legislature to
gether and wait for tho negotiation of any
loan which might.b.o eu’.horitvd for the pur
pose, would be attended by injurious delay.
Under the*© ciroumstanoos I confidently ap
pealed by proclamation to a people who have
never faltered in the perleruance of ftpy
duty of patriotism, oalling on them to raise
in their several tho sums neoessary
to insure their proportion of the quota of the
State. This appeal waß.effeotually. answered.
Publio meetings wurtii held, and liberal
amounts snbsorioed by individuals. In the
ciij of Philadelphia, btsldes a very large
fund thus .raised, the inuuioipal authorities
contributed heavily froai their common treas
ury, and in several oouiitlei the county com
missioners, generally under the guarantee of
a few of their eminent'eitiione, devoted coun
ty funds to the eamo pßfpos*. I recommoiid
that those proceedings;!}© legalised, and sub
mit to the wisdom of ij tho Legislature the
duestion of what legislation would bo just
and proper on the whdlb subject that tho qur
dou of this patriotic effAfrt may fall equally on
all classes of people tMbttghuut the State.
Tho -resale or this manifestation of public
spirit was that new regiments
*nd three unattached] eotapaniea of iafantry
were raised ; four oilier regiments, which,
previous to this call, n*d boon authorised by
the War Department iol.be raised are still in
progress of organisation.
Oa special rcqulsitiJni frofn the War De
partment there nave Beta raisod and are now
in service fivo additional regiments, arid three
companies ofuavalryj tjwo batteries of heavy
artillery, and one balthry of l ight artillery.
A battalion of heavy 'artillery I* .being, raised
by Major Joseph Huberts, U. S. A , with my I
asaont, alio under rpeolal authority of the
War Department.' ]
Early in September last the rebel army I
crouud tho Pviomcc into Maryland, with the
design of invading this State. On the 4th of
that month I called upon the people by Pro
clamation to organise Into companies and
hold themselves in readiness to be ordered
into aotual service for the . defence of the
State. And on.the 11th ol that month, under
authority of the President, I issued orders for
fifty thousand volunteer ailitia,-to, rendezvous
at Harrisburg, for the defence Of the State.
This call wds promptly responded to, and a
large force was sent forward to tho Cumber- |
land Valley and its vicinity. The firet pert;
of this force, consisting of one reglfrient and j
eight companies of infantry, movett from Har- |
ri.burg on tho nlghtJbf the 12th ot September,
and were followed by other regiments as rap- :
idly as they oonid be organised and transpor
tation provided. The command of the whole
force was taken b/Brigadier General John
P. Reynolds, who left hit-corps iu the Army
of the Potomao urgent request, and
hurried to the defatlhe of Jxts native State, for
whloh he Is the thanks of the Com
monwealth. Fifteen thousand of the volun
teer militia were pished forward to Hagere
town and Boonabafi?', in the Btate of Mary
land; ten thousand-ware posted in the vicinity
of Greencaetleao<&§hambef*barg;end about
twenty-five thousand were at Harrisburg, on
their way to Uarraburg, or in readiness and 1
waiting for transportation to proeeed thither..
One regiment, atjiJjj request of Gen. Halleek,
was sent to Powder Mills, in
the State of Delaware. On the 24th of Sep
tember the voiunt&r mlliua were discharged
.by me from eerviei, haviog by their spirited
demonstration greatly aided in preventing the
intended invasioolbf the State by the rebels,
and in compelling 1 their sudden ovaouation nf
tbo portion of Maryland which they had pol
luted. For these services, the thanks of the
Governor of Maryland and of the Commander
o f the Army of the Potomac were rendered to
our, patriotic troops through me. Measures
have been taken to procure the payment in
full of these troops, and of the expenses at
tending their services, by the United States,
in accordance with tho terms of tbeoell.by
the President. A large portion of the amouot
has already been paid. Having accompanied
this force to Hagerstown, 1 am enabled to
■peak of the oourage, fidelity and cheerfulness
with whloh the men suffered unaccustomed
privations, and bore the fire of tho rebel foxoe,
performing with alacrity the itrvico that
was required of them.
On the 4th of August last, a draft of throe
hundred thousand militia, to serve forjilne
mouths, was ordered by the President under
the not of'CoDgreis ot 17th July, 18S3, and
regulations were made by his; authority in
pursuance of that act, under which regula
tions the enrolment and draft were eonduoted
in this State, our mlliua laws being found to
be defective. Several counties and districts
having already supplied by volunteers their
proportion of the quota of this State, were
exompted from the draft, and time was given
to enable others to raise the required number
of man by voluntary eoliitcaeote. The draft
was generally orooeeded with throughout the
State on the ldth day of betober last, and the
drafted mon were directed.io be placed in the
several camps of rendezvous established un
der the regulations, where they were organis
ed and elected their ofloers, and have since
gone forward to tho army in the field. The
draft was eminently suooesifuli and when the
men had hoen marobed to the Rendezvous, my
agenoy in the matter ceasod and all authority
and control over the men devolved on the
United Stales ofQeers. £ cannot but commend
tho people of Pennsylvania for their cheerful
obodlenoe to the requirements of tho Govern
ment on this oocaslon. Ail the expenses of
the draft are, of oourse, to bs paid by the
United States, and I learn that offioers are
now in the State charged with the settle
ments and payments.
Including the three months volunteers,
Pennsylvania has furnished to tho geueral
government, more than two hqndred thousand
men sinoe the breaking oat' of the rebellion,
besides so'me fifty thousand who woro lo ser
vice, or aetually ready for it, as volunteer
militia under the call of 11th September last,
making in the whole more than two hundred
and fifty thousand mou. ;
In October last, a body of rebel cavalry
witb.ft battery of artillery, suddenly crossed
the Potomao and made thoirjway as far as
ObambersbUrg, plundering what thoy fused
of supplies useful to them and committing
other depredations* They went out of the
State by crossing the South Mountain, and
thus reaching the Potomao below Harper's
.Forty. Tho troops in tbo field were not pre
pared at the moment to punish this attempt
on her sell, and it is to be much regretted that
efficient measures could hot have been, taken
by the army to capture the rebels on.their re
turn to. the Potomac. Immediately after I
received motion that this force bad crossed the
line of the State, I called into service the An
derson Cavalry, then encamped at Carlisle,
and two oompanies of Regulars at the Bar
racks at that plaoe. These troops were pushed
forward In-th# direction of Chambersbnrg and
South Mountain. Thccavalrv at Camp Car
tin, eonftstlng of one fplt and two Imperfect
regiments, were armed as infantry, and, to
gether with two oompanies of tofantry and a
Battery of volunteer light artillery of Harris

On the two emergencies to whioh I mto re
ferred, I aeksowledge valoable counsel end
assistance from ' Brigadier Ooneral Andrew
Porter, of the United Stated Army, who thus
testified his affeotion for his native BUM, and

A. Wright, and Colonel J. B. Baker, mem

The militia law of this State is greatly de
fective, and I earnestly recommend the ap
pointment of a commission, to prepare ana
sabmit an efficient system, to be reported be
fore the adjournment of the Legislature, so
that aotion may be had on the subjeot at the
present session. In the burry of ordinary
business the Legislature might not be able
to give the necessary attention to the r re P* r *
tioo of a proper measure, and events which
have already occurred prove the necessity of
some effcotaal Legislation on tho subject, so
that our people may be adequately .protected.

so conclusively the superiority of League

To establish a NaTjr Yard for the construction
of iron-olad vessels at a point remote froth all
necessary supplies, situated on salt water,
and accessible by more than one route to any
enemy, who may have a momentary superior
ity at sea, would appear to be quite incon
sistent with the wisdom of Congress, espe
cially when a site is offered convenient to ires,
ooal, and other neoessary supplies, situated
on fresh water with a sufficient depth for the
draught of large vessels, and safe from hos
tile attack by its position.
Captain Henry E. Wrigley, of the city of
Philadelphia, at my request, and without
compensation, has made a report to me tin the
defences of the Delaware, whioh I herewith
transmit for Information. !
In July last, I received, at Pittsburgh, by
telegraph, an offer from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, of a donation of fifty: thou
sand dollars to assist in paying bounties to
volunteers. I declined, this offer, because I
had no authority to accept it on behalf ;of the
pnbllo, and was unwilling to undertake the
disbursement of the fhnd in my private ca
pacity. I have sinee received a letter en the
subject from the company suggesting other
modes of disposing of tho money, a Copy of
which is annexed to this message.
If the Legiilatnro should accept' the dona
tion, I recommend that it be applied towards
the erection of an asylum for our disabled
soldiers, and that the trustees appointed to
superintend the erection and management of
the asylum be authorized to accept such far
ther contributions as onr citizens may offer.
In a well managed establishment of that kind,
it if probable that the pensions to be allowed
by the Government to the fcen, will enable
them to support themselves with comfort.
By an wet of Congress passed on the second
day of July, 1861, lands were granted to the
several States fer the endowment, support
.and maintenance by each State* of .at least
one college for teaching such branches of
learning as are related to agriculture and the
lianio arts, withont exolading other soitn
snd elassieal stndies, and including mlli
taotlci.
recommend that proper provision be mado
he Legislature for having the lands thus
ted to this State selected, and: the title
s to the Btaie, and that Congress be fe
ted to allow the lands and their proceed* -
s used by the Btate in the construction and
*rt of such an asylum as I have above
rested.
be details of tho operations of the oommon
tol system, during the school year that
linatod on the first Monday In June,
scarcely any evil effects from the
ibled state of the country. Absonoeofthe
at degree of progress in the various de
unenU is the only result observable. To
e held Us own, however, during the severe
sal to whioh, In common with an onr’great
ial Interests and enterprises, it has been
looted, is the strongest proof of~lu inher
vtgor, and of the hold U possesses upon
affections as well as the judgment of the
pie of the Btate. .
t has come to my knowledge that in some
ts of the State a system exists of paying
i wages of workmen and laborers not In
ney but In orders on storekeepers for mer
tndlicand other articles. Thls system, by
[venting all competition, JeaTOSttbe men to
i uncontrolled discretion of [the store
spers. Itis a sysUm most unwise and un
it, and it offsets classes of useful oitisens,
io, as they live by the prooeett* of their
ihr labor, have not adequate means to re
t it. I have no doubt that most of the dif
aUlos which occasionally occttf between
inloyert and their workmen arsf due to the ,
Bvalenoe of this system. That; every man,
r a fair day's : labor, should receive a fair
v's wages, is but the dictate ;of common
iaeety; and while It would be most unwise
r the State to Interfere at all With the rate
wages, it Is In my Judgment incumbent en
.r to protect her laboring population by re
tiring that whatever may be the wages stip-,
a tod? they shall be so paid that the redpl
ii may purchase necessaries fori himself and !
s family, where they can be had the best
id cheapest. I do most earnestly reoommend
ill snbjeet to the Legislature for promptand i
Esetualaetioa. ' . ,
I believe that the several oharitable Insti
itions to which the Legislature has bsen ae- i
tstomed to grant aid, nave been well man
sed daring the pact year. ‘
