The Stale regiments have been numbered,
and the last to thisdato is numbered 115. Two
of tiie three months regiments have continued
in service under the latter requisitions, and
retain their original numbers. Deducting the
remaining twenty-three three' months regi
ments, there are ninety-two regiments in ser
vice and preparing for it. We have also in
Service and preparing twenty-four companies.
The following are the regiments in service.

paring, 16,038. Waking Pennsylvania's con
tribution, fn service and preparing 109,615,
Exclusive of 20,175 three months men now
disbanded.
The regiments preparing for service are in
complete. Those that may not be filled by
the ICth instant will be consolidated and tent
forward. Of the regiments in service,the 11th
and 15th, regiments of Infantry are at Annapo
lis j the 28th, 29th, 21st, G6th, 69th,71st, 72nd
and 106th regiments and one company of In
fantry are in the command of Major General
Banks ; the 45th, 50th, 65th, 76th and 100th
regiments of In lan try are in South Carolina ;
tb48th Infantry are at Hatteras Inlet ; the
108th Infantry and 11th Cavalry are at Fortress
Monroe ; the 77th, 78th and 79th Infantry, the
7th and 9th cavalry, one troop of horse, one
squadron of cavalry, two battalions of artillery
are in Kentucky ; the 84th and 110th Infantry
are in Western Virginia, as are also three
companies of Infantry, four companies of
cavalry, five companies of light artillery; the
87th infantry are at Cockeysville.in Maryland ;
one company of artillery is at Fort Delaware ;
all the remainder of the volunteers are at or
near Washington. Upwards of 300 volunteers
from Pennsylvania are now prisoners, but as
arrangements have been made for the exchange
of prisoners it may be expected that they will
soon be released.
In compliance with the joint resolutions of
the 16th of May last,I have procured regimen
tal flags fer the Pennsylvania volunteers, and
have presented them in person to most of the
' regiments. In other cases, the regiments be
ing on or near the Potomac,. I have requested
Mr. Cowan, Senator, and Messrs. Grow and
Wright members of the House of Representa
tives, from Pennsylvania, to present them in
the name of the Commonwealth.
The General Government requested that the
States would abstain from purchasing arms,
as their competition was found injurious in
the market, and in view of the large expendi-.
tores of money in arming and equipping the
Tolunteer force of the State, provided for
the defence of the National Government, I
did not purchase any as authorized by the 28th
section of the act of the 15th of May, 1861.
The State has new quite as many arms as are
necessary to arm all her volunteer organizations-
in existence; but, influenced by the
threatening aspect of our relations with foreign
governments, I have directed the Adjutant
General to procure arms as soon as it can be
done on reasonable terms and without injurious
competition with the National Government.
Arms have been distributed among the border
counties to all the organizations that have
been formed t receive them. 1930 arms have
been thus distributed. I have also addressed
a letter to the commissioners of all the border
counties, offering arms to them as soon as
military organizations shall be formed to re
ceive them. Besides thus complying with the
requirements of the 27th section of the Act
of ICth May lust, I have deemed it prudent to
ofler five thousand arms to such military organ
izations as may be fomed in. Philadelphia on a
plan to be approved by me as Commander-Jn-Cbief.
Muskets and rifles to a considerable
extent have been furnished to the Pennsylva
nia volunteers from the State arsenal. Others
have been sent by the United States authorities
to arm them before leaving the State. In
some cases regiments have gone without arms
under assurances from the War Depaitment
- that they would be armed at Washington or
other near designated points, and that their
immediate departure was required. It was
thought wise in these cases not to insist on
the arms being sent before the regiments
marched, as this would have imposed on the
government an unnecessary expense In freight,
and would have been productivo of delays
which might have been seriously detrimental
to the public service. Forty-two pieces of
artillery with limbers, caissons, forges, ammu
nition wagons, harness and all the necessary
implements and equipments were furnished
by the State to the artillery regiment of the
Reserve Corps. Ten of these were purchased
by the State, and their cost has been refunded
by the United States. Diligence has been
used collecting arms thioughout the State and
repairing and altering them in the most ap
proved manner.
The State has now 62 pieces of artillery, of
wnicn 17 need repairs; 26,53 muskets and
rifles, some of which are in the hands of me
chanics being repaired, 1910 are in the hands
of TOlnnteer corps throughout the State ; 1930
in the possession of County Commissioners,
ana l,uuu witn tne reserve corps of Philadel
pbia.
In addition to this the city of Philadelphia
Has y pieces of rifled artillery, and 4,96 mus
kets and rifles.
The State has also in the arsenal at Harris-
burg 1,966 sabres and swords,and 1,957 pistols,
and the city of Philadelphia has 440 sabres,
and 326 pistols with the necessary accouotre
ments. There is also in the Arsenal at Ilarrisbnrg a
large amount of accountrements and ammuni
tion for artillery and small arms.
The Adjutant General is successfully en
gaged in collecting arms throughout the
state, ana in is expected that the number a
bore stated will be largely increased. Proba
bly, at least, 5,000 muskets and rifles and
several pieces of artillery will still be collecte d
The care which has been bestowed upon the
comfort of the volunteers, and the goodness
and sufficiency of tneir supplies of all kinds,
and the excellent arrangements of the Medi
cal Department nnder the control of Surgeon
General Ilenry II. Smith, are proved by the
fact that more than 60,000 men have been for
Tarlous,generaIly short periods at Camp Curtin
Since the 19th of April last, and that down to
the 1st January inst. there died but forty-nine
men at that camp, viz, forty-four from sick
ness, two (belonging to regiments from other
States,) who bad been injured on railroads,
two accidentally killed in Camp Curtin and
one shot in Harrisburg,
To facilitate the making of allotments of
their pay by our volunteers in the field fer the
support of their families at home, I appointed
Hon. Edgar Cowan, Thomas E. Franklin and
E. C. Humes, Esq.., commissioners to visit
the camps of oar men on and south of the
Potomac, and also James Park and M. W.
BoUzboover, Esqs., 'commissioners to visit
ffcosein Kentucky and elsewhere in the western
country, to call the attention of the troops to
the system of allotment and to encourage them
in adopting a practical plan for carrying it in
to effect.
The several reports of these commissioners
are highly satisfactory.
For details on the several subjects connected
with the military operations of this State, I
refer to the reports of the Adjutant General,
Surgeon General, Quarter Master General,
Commissary General and Paymaster General
which accompany this Message.
The duties imposed on me were so generous
that I found it necessary to invite the tempo
rary assistance of gentlemen on my staff to
aid me to perform them.
In this capacity, Cols. Thomas A. Scott,
Gideon J. Ball and John A. Wright contribu
ted their valuable services from the middle of
April until they were called away by other du
ties. Col. Scott remaining until he became
connected with the War Department. Col.
Ball until the 1st of June and Col. Wright
until the 23d of July ; for the timo thus de
voted to the service of the State tliey have
refused to receive any compensation.
Cols. Joseph D. Potts. A. L. Kussell, J.
Brown Parkei and Craig Biddle were in the
service up to the 20th of December. The
Department of Telegraph and Transportation
was under the exclusive control of Col. Potts.
The system and economy of its management
show now faithfully and well he fulfilled his
office.
It is but just to all these gentlemen that I
should bear testimony to the untiring zeal
aud fidelity with which their duties were per
formed.
The quota of tho State having been more
than fiilled, and her military force organized,
I was enabled on the twentieth of December
last, to dispense with a personal staff, and
the temporary arrangement which bad been
made for its employment was then closed.
By the 13th section of the Act of the 15th of
May, 1861, 1 was authorised to draw my war
rants on the Treasury for a sum not exceed
ing $20,0C0 for compensation to such persons
as might be required to serve the country in a
military capacity, &c. Of this fund I have
drawn from the Treasury $8,500, out of which
I paid the compensation of my personal staff,
also other expenses of the military depart
ment, and the actual expenses of persons cm
ployd on temporary service, none of whom
received any further compensation, and ex
penses of the commissions appointed to inves
tigate alleged frauds, &c, and the expenses
of establishing military patrols on the Mary
land line and five-hundred dollars on secret
service. My account is settled in the office of
the Auditor Genera up to the 1st of Decern
ber. On that day I had expended $6,400, and
except some inconsiderable payments made
since, tne balance remains in my hands.
The report of the Auditor General will ex
hibit the items of the account.
An account of military expenditures by
the State on behalf of the United States, as
far as the same had then been ascertained and
settled by the accounting departments here,
was made up to the 1st day of September,
lobl, ana presented on tne 12th of that month
at the Treasury Department of the United
States for settlement and allowance. The
sum of $606,000, has been received from the
Treasury Department on that account. The
repaymeut by the General Government of the
expenses attending the organization and sup
port of the Reserve Corps, may not be provid
ed for by any existing act of Congress. As
these expenses were incurred by the State for
the benebt of the General Government, and
have been productive of results most import
ant to the welfare and safety of the country,
it would be right that an act of Congress
should be passed providing expressly for their
repayment, it lies with the Legislature to
adopt the proper means for. directing the at
tention of Congress to this subject.
Assurances have been received from the
Treasury Department that the examination of
the military accounts of the State will be pro
ceeded in without delay, so that tha State
may receive a credit for the balance due, in
time to apply the same towards tho payment
of her quota of the direct tax. Assuming the
completion of the arrangment, if the State
shall assume the direct tax for this year, a sa
ving ot hfteen per cent will accrue to her, and
no present increase of her taxation will be
necessary.
Whether this credit be given or not, I re
commend that tho payment of the direct tax
be assumed by the State.
In case the State assumes the payment ol
this tax there should be such revision of the
tax laws as will hereafter equitably apportion
the burden among the various interests now
subject or that can properly be made subject
to taxation, ihe saving of fifteen per cent,
to the people of the State be the assumption
is a matter worthy of thought, but a more
important consideration is that it will enable
you who represent all the varied interests of
the Commonwealth to apportion tho tax in
such a manner as to bear equally upon all.
Our revenue laws had imposed on real and
personal property as its full proportion but
little more than one-third of the taxes neoded
for the ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment. By the act of 15th May last, the tax
on this species of property has already been
increased one-sixth. Should the State refnse
to assume tho United States tax the whole
burden of it will fall upon. these interests, in
terests too, most unfavorably affected by the
war, whilst other kinds of property and other
sources of revenue, judged by our laws able
to pay nearly two thirds of the present revenues
of the State, would not be called on to con
tribute one dollar of additional tax.
The militia system of the Commonwealth is
very imperfect. I recommend the establish
ment of a commission to frame and report a
system more adequate to the exigency of the
times.
I earnestly recommend to the legislature
that provision be made for the military instruc
tion of youth. The appointment of a military
instructor in the normal schools, would in a
short period give teachers to the common
schools who would be competent to train the
boys in attendance on them. It would in my
opinion bo wise also to provide for the pur
chase or leasing by the Commonwealth of a
building for a military school, and fer employ
ing competent instructors at the expense of
the State, requiring the pupils to defray the
other expenses. No pupil should be admitted
to this school without having passed a thor
ough examination on mathematics and all fit
ting subjects of instructioiexcept the military
art power. I respectfully urge this subject
on your early consideration, as one of material
pet baps vital importance.
I have taken measures to direct the efficient
attention of the General Government to the
fortification of the water approaches on the
seaboard and the lakes, and arrangements
are in the course of being effected which it is
hoped will be satisfactory in their result.
I send with this message a copy of a com
munication from General Totten, chief of the
Military Engineer Department at Washington.
I have also represented to the Secretary of the
Navy the necessity for flo'ating defences on
the Delaware, and have bis assurance that they
shall be prepared at the earliest moment.
I have bad a correspondence with the au
thorities and some of the citizens of Erie on
the subject of the defenceless condition of
that city .and the part of the State bordering on
the lake. On examination it is found that
there are no defences on the lake, and that
the ordnance at the city of Erie was withdraw n
by the National Government in the summer of
1861. The Secretary of the Navy, on a re
quest made, directed that the crew of the U
nited States steamer Michigan should not be
disbanded, as has been usual, and that vessel
will remain in the harbor of Erie during the
winter. Should the National Government un-
uxpectly fail in its duty providing adequate
defences at our assailable points, East and
West, I earnestly recommend that the Legis
lature take prompt means for that purpose.
He should be aamomsned, by recent indica
tions from abroad, to be prepared for our own
defence, as well as for the. suppression. cf do
mebtic insurrection.
In selecting a site for a National Armory,
if the public good be alone considered, Penn
sylvania will bo preferred, as she affords the
combined advantages of a central position, a
bundance of material and skilled mechanics,
and a people ot undoubted lovalty.
I commend to the attention of the Legisla
ture the report of the Superintendent of the
Public Schools, the flourishing state of which
and the rapid progress of education are sub
jects of just congratulation.
The reports of the Lunatic Hospital at Ilar-
risburg and of Western Pennsylvania, of the
Houses of Refuge at Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, ot the Institutions for the Deaf and
Dumb and for the Blind and the Northern
Home for Friendless Children at Philadelphia,
and of the Pennsylvania Training School for
.Idiotic and feeble Minded Children at Media,
show that these meritorious charities are well
administered, and I recommend that the coun
tenance and aid of the Commonwealth be con
tinned to them.
Under the joint resolution of 16th May last,
commissioners have been appointed to revise
the revenue laws, whose names will he forth
with submitted for the advice and consent ot
the Senate. It is hoped that the commission
ers will be able to report during the present
session of the Legislature. Considering thw
great labor imposed on them, and the vast
importance at the present time of an able and
efficient performance of the duties of the com
missioners, I suggest that the compensation
provided . by the joint resolution should be
increased to an adequate amount.
It was evident, long since, that it would be
impossible for the banks to continue to re
deem their obligations in coin, in the face of
the large issues of paper, the necessity for
which was imposed on them and the govern
ment by the exigencies of tiro times. No
surprise, therefore, was felt at the suspension
of specie payments by the banks, which took
place on Monday, the 30th of December last.
Under the circumstances, I recommend that
they be relieved from all penalties for this
oreach or the law. .
Pennsylvania has made great efforts to sup
port the Government. She has given more
and better clothed, and better equipped men
than any other State, and has far exceeded her
quota of the military levies. The sons of our
best citizens, young men of education and
means fill the ranks of her volunteer regi
ments. Their gallant conduct, whenever an
opportunity has been afforded to them, has
done honor to the Commonwealth. The uni
versal movement among our people, signifies
that they are loyal to the Government estab
lished by their fathers, and are determined to
quell the present insurrection and preserve
the Union, and that they will not tolerate any
plan for either the dissolution or reconstruc
tion of it. A. G. Ccrtin.

CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN. 15, 1862.
Tiie Governor's Message. We this week
present to our readers the first annual message
of Gov. Curtin. It is a plain statement of
facts, and exclusively devoted to the official
business of tho State. Its vigorous and patri
otic tone and temper, accords ftrtly with the
loyalty and enthusiasm of the people of the
Keystone State ; and no doubt, will attract
some considerable attention abroad as a State
paper. The attention of the reader is more
especially directed to the State of the finances
of the commonwealth, which appear to have
been honestly and conscientiously conducted,
and with a strict regard to the interests of the
people. After all the expenditures of the
year,there remained a balance in the Treasury,
on the last day of November, of $1,551,605,
without reference to the four hundred thousand
dollars of the military loan due from the
General Government, all of which it has not
been found necessary to call in. The whole
number of men now in actual service from
our State, is 93,577 ; preparing for service,
16,038, making a total of 109,715 men ex
clusive of 20,175 who served in the three
months campaign the quota of the State in
the army is, therefore, more than supplied.
The recommendation of the Governor in rela
tion to our publio schools to the reform in
the militia system the revision of the tax
laws to the selection of a National Armory
in Pennsylvania to the defences on the Dela
ware, and to other matters of importance, are
all sound and practical.

Charges against Gen. Stone Gen. Stone
has written a letter to a Senator, in a reply to
words spoken by s him in debate, so full of
abuse and insult that is highly probable that
bis name will be stricken from the roll of the
army. The charges of military mismanage
ment and the improper employment of his
troops, in the return of fugitive slaves, (the
last made by Gov. Andrew,) are not the only
ones of the harshest made against Gen. Stone
It is alleged that beholds too amicable rela
tions with rebel officers across the Potomac,
corresponding with them regularly and that
he sympathizes and protects traitorously dis
posed citizens of Maryland living near his
camp, refusing to take forage from such. It
is alleged, and is no doubt true, that never un
til Friday the 3d of January, was the national
flag seen to float over the head-quarters of
Gen. Stone. Its absence has long been the
subject of comment and unfriendly criticism.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. The Rev.
Mr. Wilmer, formeily Rector of St. Marks
Church, Philadelphia, recently took up his
"bag and baggage" for the South. Hit pro
ceeded on his journey as far as Fortress Mon
roe unmolested, where, however, he was sus
pected. Upon search being made, his twenty
trunks were found to contain about $1000
worth of such articles as would be most ser
viceable to the rebels besides maps, plans,
papers, letters, and other documents relating
to the Burnside expedition, which were found
concealed in his cravat and clothing. He
was permitted to proceed to Norfolk, but his
baggage was retained by tho Provost Marshall
at Fortress Monroe.
From Cairo. Flag Officer Foote, made a
reconnoisance down the Mississippi on the
7th, with three gunboats. He examined all
points on the river as near as two miles to
Columbus, aud expressed himself highly grti-
fled with the reconnoisance. He discovered one
of the rebel submarine batteries planted in
the channel, which did no harm. Several
shots were fired at him when he retired.
Battle at Blue Gap. A dotachment of
Gen. Kelly's forces, commanded by Col. Dun
ning, of the 5th Ohio, left Romney on the
night of the 7lh, and attacked about 2000 reb
els at Blues Gap, east of Romney, at daylight
on the morning of the 9th. The rebels were
completely routed with a loss of 15 killed, two
pieces of cannon, their wagons, tents, etc.,
with twenty prisoners. Our loss none.
Appointment. Gov. Curtin has appointed
Col. Alex. L. Russell Adjutant General of the
State, in the place of Edward M. Biddle, re
signed. Col. Russell was Secretary of State
under Gov. Johnson, which position he filled
with ability ; and being conversant with the
military affairs of the State, will,' no doubt,
discharge his present duties faithfully and
energetically.
Diabolical. It is leported, that last week
an attempt was made to set fire to the Alexan
dria Hospital ; and the day following an at
tempt was made to blow it up. There were
about 500 persons in the building at the time.

THREE DAYS LATER!!
Mat 26, 1860. This is the case of acute rhrnma

which I called your attention at our last clinic.
She is still very comfortable, and is now taking
three gratns thrice doily.
In this ease it has seemed to be followed by rery
satisfactory results. The second caso to which
your attention was called at our last lecture, hi
also continued to do well. I will now bring be
fore you a very characteristic case of acute rheu
matism, and if the result b esatisfactory. think

The pains began in his right knee, suhsequently

tense and tender. His tongue is furred; bi'i'tin
