HARRISIIII7IIO cons ENCE, ESPOND HARRISBURG, Jan. 6, 1864, Editor Pittsburgh Post:—Aside from the organization of the Howie of Repre sentatives nothing has been accomplished• The election of Hon, W. C. JOHNSON, of Crawford, to the Speakership of the House has somewhat inspired the Democracy with the hope that legislation, during the present session at least, will be fairly transacted. Mr. Jo aysox, is a high toned political opponent, whom all must respect that have the ple smite of his acquaintance• Whilst he is zealously and devotedly at tached to a party that we deem radically wrong, none can attribute to him dishon esty or impunity of purpose. Mr. Eixxxofq:, of Huntingdon, whom the Repoblicani have chosen for' Chief Clerk, :4 a clear-headed, affable, kind hearted' gentlemen, of considerable legis. lative experience. The Senate met this afternoon, Senator Pansy, refusing to vacate the Chair in consequence of there being a tie-18 Dem- I °crate to 16 Republicans. Several inef fectual ballots for Speaker were had, after I which that body adjourned until to•mor- row at 11 o'clock. The Democratic mom• bera made certain propositions to their 1 1 opponents in order to effect an organize I tion immediately, but all to no purpose. These overtures will be made public to morrow. It is difficult, at this time, to 1 1 foreshadow the result of this political blockade. It is safe to predict, however, that without some sort of compromise no 1 1 organization can be obtained. Just now there is little of importance to communicate to you. I will endeavor from time to time during the present see sion to give your readers a fair and impar tial. history of events, together with such gossip es may be of interest. The canvass for State Treasurer, among the Philadelphia Republicans has become quite animated. Thus far I hear of but three candidates—Hon. HENRY D. MOORE, WILLIAM HAMM, and WILLIAM KEMBLE— aII of Philadelphia. The first named gen tleman was the predecessor of Mr. AI c - GRATH, the present popular and efficient incumbent, and proved himself to be a faithful custodian of the people's money. It seems to be very generally conceded that Mr. MOORE, will barn but little trouble in securing this position. From present appearances, legislation for the oil region will consume a greater portion of the time than any other inter est. Already there is a large •'sprink ling" of lobbyists on hand who will leave nothing undone to guarantee princely fortunes to all who are verdant enough to bite. In my judgment many poor fools who have been inveigled into some of these "wild•goose" eneculatione will Coon have to cry aloud "stand from under."' It is not my desire le depreciate this oil interest; neither would I do aught to re tard any enterprise having for its object the developing of the vast wealth of our good old Commonwealth• What I most desire ie to give a word of caution E?dhIETT. HARRISBCRG, Jan., 6, 1864. Editor Pittsburgh Post :—To-day noth ing of importance has transpired in the House, aside from the election of the fol lowing named gentlemen as officers . —A. W. BENEDICT, Chief Clerk ; JAMES C. Bsowii t Assistant Clerk ; JAMES &CRESS, Sergeant at-Arms; J. F. McJorisric, Door keeper ; JAMES C. STI-RDIYANT, Messen ger; R. W. STEWART, Postmaster. The dead lock in the Senate has caused quite a commotion among the Republi• cans. Whilst they assert that the Demo crats are taking the advantage of the ab• Settee of Senator WHITE, who was taken prisoner when nobly battling for his coon try, they seem to forget that, by liberal an Lion upon their part, whereby they need but sacrifice a few petty offices, the whole organization can be satisfactorily success fuL They have boldly asserted, that or ally and through their organs, that HARRY WM/Teti resignation has been clandestine. ly brought on from Richmond. If this be so, his friends have been grossly culpable in not causing a new election to be held. They also contend that the democracy are thwarting the will of the people, as ex prtssed at the late election. In contra distinction to this, are they not aware that there are several Republican Senators now representing Democratic districts ? I base this allegation solely in accordance with the result of the last election. On the other hand there is not one Demo• cratio Senator upon the floor who repre sents a Republican district. Then again, if these freedom-shriekers are sincere in their croakings over the hardships now being endured by Senator WHITE, why do they not put into practice what they preach—that is that an imme diate organization will secure therelease of that gentleman. When you come to take a humane and comprehensive view of the case, are not the political friends cf Sena tor WRITS basely profeesing sympaty for a "poor soldier whose" comforts and inter. ests they are willing to make •subservient to those of a few place•hunt.ers ? The insinuation of Sena tor LOWRY, that JEFFERSON DAvi s holds WHITE as a prix oner with a view of strengthening the hands of the Democrats, is simply so dastardly ridiculous as to require no notice by any one claiming common decency. The Senate met this morning, and after the reading of several hills in place, Sena. tor LO WHY submitted the following : Warnses, The Union men in the Senate of Pennsylvania were in clear maiority until ono of their number, Major ff ay Warrit, Senator from Indiana, was captured by our oommon ene my; to erefore. Resolved, That the patriotism of HASS Y Warne shalt not be taken advantage of to prevent the oomplete ereantaatiou of this body, but that the Speaker elected at the close of the session of 18o'3 be recognised as the duly eleotel sneaker of thettsmate until such time as senator WEITIC shall be released from captivity or a snoceasor be elected Irani b is C enatonal district at which lim e it would be proper fcr too present Speaker to maize and that a new election for Speaker be held then. The Senate refused to proceed to a eec and reading and consideration of the res olution by a vote of 16 to 16. Mr. Conrail. offered the following res caution : Resolved.. That the Senate having repeatedly decided by iseClot not to change the Speaker, it the session. will now prooeed with the .oydinarY badness of The Senate refused to proceed to a second reading and c onsideration of the resolugcnchi a vote of 16 yeas to 16 nays. Mr. Low= offered the following reso lution : Rooklitv ghe 'saga& 'Plat the th ooke of the loyal pftz PgraohnikiiiiAre doe end hereto tendasa UtILAWy: sad the oaken and soldigowft ww/lOisAir the aeries of gallant services and itioriona victories resulting in the ilbe•ation of the faithful Ttnion people of Bast Tevnessee from a military despotism more eaaing than ever was that of Great Britain. The Senate refused to read the resolu- tion a second time by a vote of 16 ayes to 16 nays. On motion of Mr. REILLY, the Senate proceeded to a ballot for Speaker, the vote beingithe same as yesterday, 16 for CLYMER and 16 fer PENNY. Several subsequent ballots were taken with the same result. The Senate entered into a lengthy die. :mission with reference to the pending po. litical blockade, which was participa:. by MElljerS. CLYMER, WALLACE, TURRELL, Downy, CHAMPNEYS, FLicatmaro, and Mc— CANDLESS, but without advancing a step farther towards securing an organization. The written proposition which the Democrats made to the Republicans to wards effecting a compromise was made public to day by Mr. Dumas in the course of debate. It was simply to give our op ponents the Speaker and then alternate throughout the entire list of officers. Against this honorable and fair proposi• tion the Republicans turned a deaf ear. In the course of the entire debate, upon every question and upon every argument, the Democratic side of the Senate came off triumphantly. If the public interest must be neglected, it is now palpable to every observing mind that the skirts of the Democracy are clean, and that the whole blame is clearly upon the Republicans. A 8 I write both parties are holding can• cusses, bat with what result I have been unable to ascertain. It is to be hoped, however, that our opponents will see the folly of persisting in their factious course and come to some honorable compromise. EMMETT. • Amusements. IITTSBURGH THEATRE.

Not so, however. Last evening we were again in total dm - knees, and had to fall back upon the primitive manner of "lighting up" by calling to our aid "tallow dips." The "gas man" promises to make all things right today. So mote it be. The Arsenal Explosion. 7'o the citizens of Pittsburgh and vicin ity:—The committee appointed by a meet ing of the citizens of Pittsburgh to have a proper monument erected over the unre cognized remains of those killed by the explosion at the Allegheny Arsenal, feel it proper that the subject should be again laid before this community. Two thousand dollars being the sem thought necessary to erect a suitable monument, the committee were led to think that amount would be unsolicitably contributed; the more especially as the terrible nature of the calamity seemed to have aroused the warmest sympathy of the public. Influenced by a general expres sion of thatesympatity, and personal inti mations of intentions to contribute, the committee opened a subscription bock for the receiving of contributions, which was left at the Custom House. This action was made public through an appeal to the ci:izene. But few persons responded and an e:oreuirly small sum was subecribed. Since then thn committee have tried per- Eiol7ll 6 .Lliciterions,but nave been so coolly received that they feel unwilling to make further efforts in that way. Tee general response being that "while wilting to give fur the support of the living they did not feel called upon to contribute their money to commemorate in marble this particular catastrophe a , contra distinguished from others.terrible in their character and agon izing in their individualties of almost monthly occurrerces. To this response, the committee would suggest, that, inter red in one common grave are the remains' of forty individuals whose mangled forms were mutilated and charred beyonthrecog loon. In that grave nearly two score households fondly think are lying the bodies of those, wno, going forth with the ntcrni•g sun. to the nerdous labor, that was to earn rood for those at home, never more returned ; nor did the tearful eyes of bereaved parents again linger in affection upon their features. A ghastly, sorrow• full, heap of unrecognisable fragments of humanity was all Liver which the stricken hearts could utter the irrepressible moan of affliction, and stay the bitter tsar of sudden torment. N3t to Sep. orate graces rear) those re-- mains borne ; beside which sorrowing friends con Id grieve and expend those to kens of Lffection we ell love to bestow upon the last resting place of our dead. One general Sepulchre received the dead of forty households; and the survivors bowed their heads beside this common grave, in the agony cf their bereavement, feeling that for them there could not be the sacred privacy of Berm-ate interments: that even the sad pleasure of erecting some little stone to mark the last resting place of their " loved and lost, — must be denied them. It would seem but little to erect over that gravo such a memorial as should, by its inscribed names, give to those bereaved families the right to say, "here rest our dead ; the lettering on this marble block authorizes us to here place such tokens of our affection as give expression to our The Committee aro fully impressed that there are a sufficient number of per. sons in this community who Rill cheerful ly contribute to the cost of the proposed monument, and who desire to do so, to secure the necessary funds. They do not, however, feel called upon to endure the many rebuffs incident to a canvass of the entire population to find those who are desirous of assisting in, perhaps not an an act of necessity, but certainly a grateful act of relationship in a common human;• ty, and one of those general expressitons of sympathy with the bereavement of oth are, that in such instances of wide-spread calamity, is the tender " touch of nature that makes us all akin." The Committee have, therefore, replaced the book of subscriptions for this object, with C. W. Batchelor, esq., at the Custom House, where their fellow citizens are re quested to call and subscribe towards this surely commendable and unselfish object. Stating that the amount so farsubscribed amounts to two hundred and fifty dollars; we are, very respectfully, TROLLS M, Rows, 1 JOSIAH KING, C. W. BATCHELOR. } Corn GEO. El THURSTON, I Loans P. BARR. j --- GRAND CONCERT. —We are pleased to eform our readers, and the musical pub lic particularly, that arrangements have been made ly the manager of the Gotta.. chalk and Brignoli concert to give us two of their operatic and instrumental concerns on Wednesday and Friday, the 13th and 15th inst., at Concert Hall. It is scarcely necessary to speak ofour charming pianist Gottechalk, who, as an artist and compos er, has attained a world-wide reputation. The sweet warbler, Brignoli, is ever wel come, especially to our ladies. Of Mlle. Cordier we can say but little, as we have never heard her; but, judging from the praise bestowed upon her by our eastern cities, she merits to rank with the above artists. Add to this Signor Patti, a tal ented violinist, and a brother of Carlotta and A delina Patti ; besides all this we shall hear in the way of native talent, Mr, V. DeHam, who will assist Mr. Gottschalk in his dnetta and trios. We predict for the above artists crowded houses, and regret that they only give us two concerts when they gave six to eight in Cincinnati and Chicago, and we certainly rank equal in musical talent and ability with these PASSAGE FROM THE "OLD COLETISIY".- We take pleasure in calla:lcy the attention of oar readers t 3 the advertisement of Mr. D. O'Neil, in another column. Mr. O'Neil is agent for the "Galway," "Liv erpool and Londonderry" and "Glasgow end New York" lines of steamers, and "Wruibington Lines" of sailing packets, and is prepared to bring out passengers direqt from Liverpool, Glasgow, London derd, or Galway to New York Pittburgh seven dollars lower than any other agent in the city.

WILL CONGRESS POSTPONE THE Doerr ? —Tbe President has addresaed a short message to Congress in which he advises a reconsideration of the law paying a •bounty of $BOO to veteran volunteers np to tin sth of January, earnestly recom mend • ing that the time be extended to February Ist. To this message orb appended the arguments from the Secretary of War show lug that the people prefer the volun tary system of raising troops, and that veterans, even when paid a bounty, are a cheaper and better force than raw recruits or drafted men. A communication from the provost marshal represents the en• couraging success of the volunteer plan, a success only to be checked by the present limit of time allowing bounty. Under these circumstances, Congress will not hesitate to approve the Presidents sugges tion, and the draft will be nostponed, we trust, beyond recall, by the success of volunteering under bounty. In this re suit the Government and the country will be fortenate. Goon BY GooDY.—ln consequence of previous engagements, the Manager of - the Pittsburgh Theatre was rquct antly compelled to withdraw tho immense. ly successful pantomime of Little Goody Two Shoes on Thursday evening. It is a rare circumstance that any piece, in the smoky City will draw over a night or two, three evenings usually being the limit, and yet on Thursday, the seventh night of its rept esentatior, it was as vociferously encored as upon its first production. Et tie Henderson (who comes from the beat pantomime talent in the country) has rea son to be proud of Little Goody Two Shoes. We regret that Little Goody under the surveillance of Ettie Henderson could not appear at some Theatre more metro politan in its character than the Pitts burgh Old Drury. SA Sleet.

Hitherto the State has paid its interest in coin or its equivalent, but the Governor recommends the careful and immediate consideration of the Legislature to the subject, and expresses the opinion that the Commonwealth will have fulfilled her obligations by providing for the pay ment of the interest in the currency of the Government. He deems the policy of paying coin to foreign and currency to do mean° loan holders, as wholly unwise and founded on no legitimate principle. Among other financial recommendations, is the tax on the gross recepts of all railroads, , canals and mining companies. Alluding to the recent invasion of our State, the Governor returns thanks to New York and New Jersey for their prompt assistance, and invites the atten tion of the Legislature to the deplorable condition of the loyal people of East Ten nessee. He renews his recommendation . for the revision of the militia laws, and trusts that if a reasonable time be allowed ' the State's quota will be filled by volun teers. The State has already ent two hundred and seventy-seven thousand four hundred and nine men to the field tor general and special service. The Governor concludes as follows : "That this unnatural rebellion may be speedily and effectually crushed, We lie all under the obligation of the one pare mount duty, that of vigorously supporting our Cloveriuneat in its measures to that BY" TELEGRAP H , TO THE DAILY POST, XXXVIIIth CONGRESS. ABSTRACT OF GOVERNOR CURTIN'S MESSAGE. From Washington CIO BISHOP HUGHES' FUNERAL FROM FORTRESS MONROE 89 18#4111 end. To the full extent of my official and individual ability, it shall be supported, and I heartily rely on your co—operation. I am ready for all proper measures to strengthen its arms, to encourage its up holders, to stimulate the public liberality to themselves and their families, the men who give to is their personal service, and in every mode to invigorate its action. "We are fighting the great baitle of God, of truth, of right, of liberty. The Almighty has no attribute that can favor oar savage and degenerate enemies. No people can submit to territorial dismem berment without becoming contemptible in its own eyes and in those of the, world. Bat it is not only against territorial dis memberment that we are struggling, but against the destruction of the very ground. work of our whole political system. "The ultimate question truly at issue is the possibility of the permanent existence of a powertal Republic. That is the ques- tion to be now solved, and by the bless— ings of God we mean that it shall not be oar fault if it be not solved favorably. We have, daring the past year, made mighty strides towards such a solution, and to all human appearance we approach its completion, bat whatever reverses may happen, whatever blood and treasure may be necessary, there will remain the inexo• rable determination of our people to fight oat this thing to the end, to preserve and perpetuate this Union. They have sworn, that not one star shall be raft from the constellation, nor its clustered brightness be dimmed by treason and savagery, and they will keep their .oaths. (Signed,) A. G.
