The report of David Wills. Esq., Presidont or
the Soldiers' National cemetery, at Gettysburg,
herewith transmitted, shows the proscct condition
of the cemetery As the b-ttle of Gettysburg re
salted in a glorious victory, and was in fact the
beginning of the end of the war, and nccarred on
the soil of the Commonwealth. I thir.k It wonld
be well that it should be commemorated by an
historical painting, to be pla-rcd in the Capitol of
the State; and I recommend that tbe Legislature
tajie measures for tbt purpose.
The State of Maryland b is proposed to ber sis
ter States that they unite wi'h bcr inelablihir.g
a cemetery for our soldiers who fall at Antielaui.
I herewith transmit copies of the Maryland sat
ote. and other documents. on this subject, and re
commend the passage of au act heartily accepting
the proposition of the State of Maryland. All the
States having piowptly and generously responded
to our proposition to have a cemetery at Gettys
burg, it would seem proper that we should recip
rocate, and unite in this. The duty Is made
more sacred when we reniembor that more of
Pennsylvania's sons fell in that battle than those
of any other State
The report of the State Agent at Washington,
herewith transmitted, shoTva that under his effi
cient management the claims of our soldiers are
promptly examined and paid. Every effort has
been made to apprise our officers and men that
their claims wilt be collected by the Bute Agent
(Col Jordan), without expense to them ; yet it is
feared thnt many of them continue to employ
private claim agents, whose fees bear heavily on
the claimants
Since my last annual message I have expended
of the secret service fund, the sum of four thou
sand three hundred and ninety-three dollars and
twenty cents, out of which I have paid my per
sonal" staff Rod other extraordinary expenses.
Ho appropriation is required for the increase of
this fund.
I invite your attention to the reports of the
Military Departments of the State, to the report
of tbe Superintendent of Common Schools, which
exhibits the prosperous condition of our system
of public education, and to the report of the Sur
veyor General, and recommend to your favorable
consideration the many excellent suggestions
made by that officer.
I commend to your earnest consideration the
suggestion made by tbe Surgeon General in his
report, herewith transmitted, on the propriety ot
legislation for the protection of our people, by pro
per sanitary mea?urcs,from the ravages ofjthechol
er.i. which is now approaching our shores.
I commend to the wisilom of the Legislature
the subject of providing for the relief of our many
maimed and wounded soldiers. Possibly it might
be done by continuing and enlarging tbe acts
providing for boards of relief in the several coun
ties. I recommend the adoption by the Legisla
ture of this or some other plan for doing justice
to tbe class of men in question
By the joint resolution of May 15. 1SG1, author
ising me to give flag to our regiments, it wai
made the dctyof the Executive to receive the
flags when the regiments returned This has not
been hitherto done, inasmuch as they have not all
yet been mustered out. As soon as this shall have
taken .place, the tlags will be received with ap
propriate ceremonies, and I recommend that the
Legislature make provision- for causing them to
be hung in the new Library.
1 refer to the suggestion of ttrig. General Todd,
Inspector General, on the subject of the militia.
1 am not prepared to make any recommendation
on this subject, as I observe rrith great pleasure,
that congress is proposing to establish a uniform
system throughout the United States.
The arsenal at JIarrisburg is decaying and un
safe. Tbe arms and munitions of tbe State there
deposited are of the value probably of half a mil
lion dollars. I recommend that provision be
made for repairing it. or that a new arsenal be
constructed in this vicinity, fur the purpose of
securing their preservation
Since my la.st annual message, the late Presi
dent of the United States has fallen a victim to
the most foul and base assassination recorded in
history. It will afford me pleasure and I will
. heartily unite with you in any expression of in
dignation at the crime, and of appreciation of
the public virtue and services of its victim, Abra
ham Lincoln. .
My uniform course during tbe late war, was to
void the discussion of the policy ol tbe General
Government, while giving a hearty snpj.ort to the
National authorities in all their measures to sup
press the rebellion. I shall continue to pursue
the same course during the embarrassments noces-
sarily connected with the entire restoration of
the country. The principles expressed in the
message of the President, at the commencement
of the session of Congress, will receive my cor
dial support.
During ths last five years the people of this
State have suffered deeply from the calamities of
war. Thousands of her men have been slain, and
others are maimed and broKen. Almost every
family has been stricken, and everywhere there
aro widows and orphans, many of them helpless
and in poverty. It is a subject of sincere congrat
ulation, that pease has at last returned.
I am not aware of the existonco of any difficul
ty with other nations which may not be amicably
adjusted,and therefore venture to express the hope
that long years of tranquility and hapnincss are
before us. A. G. CUXTIN.

While the woollen manufactures of the
country have doubled since the commence
ment of the war, it Is shown by official, fig
ures that in four years ending June 30, 1865,
the wool shoddy and woolens imported make
an aggregate of $1.10,000,000, of which the
unmanufactured wool amounts to 287,000,
00!) lbs., costing $1; 5 ,000. ' 00. Nearly all
of the imports of wool under the tariff came
in either at three or six cents per pound,
the duty averaging less than five cents.
The wools of Australia and South Africa,
which are fine merinos, are invoiced at less
than twenty-four cents per pound.
" A Y ashmgton dispatch to the Jribur.e
says : "Rumors, with more than the ordi
nary foundation for sensation reports, are
rife ti nt Jeff Davis is to be speedily brought
to trial before a military coir mission. The
gathering of major generals, to which yes
terday's despatches alluded, it is said, is
with referenceto this trial, which is to bemade
imposing with distinguished names. It is
certain that the generals are here ostensibly
to consult upon military matters, but really,
it we may believe the report, to organize a
court lor the trial of the head of the late
Confederacy."
Mr. Seward saj-s that there is no danger of
a rupture between the United States and
France, but that the French troops must'.Le
removed from Mexico, and the Mexicans al
lowed to decide for themselves who is to
govern in that country. Napoleon declares
that there is no necessity for a rupture be
tween his Government and that of the Uni
ted States, but that he will not retire from
Mexico as long as there is a doubt about
the secruity of the throne on which he has
placed Maximilian. Here is a dilemma
which diplomacy alone can settle.
The Legislature of "Old Virginia" is very
anxious to restore the bondaries of the State
as they existed before the rebellion. West
Virginia, however, is not solicitous on the
subject. The rebel portion of the State is
now loaded down with burdens incurred by
treason, which the traitors are solicitous to
share with the ieop!e of that portion of the
same State which refused to be a party to
secession. It is not very likely that the
people of Western Virginia will acquiesce
in this proposition.

Ths Governors Message.
We this week publish Gov. Curtin's mes
sage to the Penn'a Legislature. It abounds
with interesting information and recommen
dations in regard to the late war and the du
ties it has imposed upon us. The total
number of troops furnished by Pennsylva
nia, exclusive of militia and eolistments for
the navy, was 3G2.2S4. We are glad to
loam that "arrangements arc in progress to
have a complete history of our regiments,
such as is contemplated and provided for in
aa act of Assembly already passed," and
hope it may lie written in a style worthy of
the magnitude and grandeur of the subject.
A nobler theme ha3 never been furnished for
the pen of a skillful historian. Ho also ad
vises that a historical painting of the battle
of Gettysburg be procured to be placed in
the Suite Capital ; an excellent suggestion if
"the services of a talented artist can be se
cured. We are gratified to learn that 1,242
orphans of our soldiers are now maintained
and educated by the State, and arrangements
are being made for increasing the number
of these deserving recipients of assistance.
The State finances are shown to be in a good
condition. Notwithstanding the expendi
ture of more than $4,000,000 for military
purposes, the State debt was decreased $2,
555,57y.l2 during the interval from Novem
ber 30, 1860, to December 1, 1SG5. A re
daction or repeal of the ordinary State tax
of two and a half mills on real estate is re
commended. In view of the large space de
voted in the messages of most ot the North
em Governors to national politics, Governor
Curtin shows good ta&fe in abstaining from
lengthy comments, and in briefly remarking
that the principles expressed in the message
of the President, at the commencement of
the session of Congress, will receive his cor
dial support
Specie Accummulation in New York.
The receipts in gold at the New York
Custom House week before last amounted to
three million two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, while the payments for interest on the
national debt in gold were but two hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars. The en
tire shipments of specie to Europe during
the week amounted to but six hundred and
fifty-six thousand, principally in gold and
silver bars. Of the 22,800 bales of cotton
received during the week, there were ship
ped to Europe only 13,000 bales, 'so that
there is retained not only a large amount of
the precious metals, but also a large quanti
ty of equally precious material, which is as
good as gold. The stock of cotton now on
hand in New York is fully two hundred and
thirty-five thousand bales. The g dd re
ceipts for duties at the Custom House dur
ing the last week will probably be fully as
large as the receipts of the former. The
European steamers now arriving bring full
cargoes of spring goods, the duties on which
are very heavy. The deposits of gold at
the sub-treasury have been so heavy that
there are over ninety millions in gold and
currency now in the Government disposito-
nes in 2ew ork.
Legislative Proceedings.
In the Senate, on January 31st, Gen
eral Harry White presented a bill of in
terest to our veterans. It provides that
where any veteran has re-enlisted and been
credited to thoquota of any draft or any
county, city, ward, township or borough,
and h.:s not been paid the full amount of
local bointy as specified in the act of March
25, 18G4, it shall be lawful foi the school
directors or other corporate authorities, to
levy and collect a tax sufficient to pay the
same, with interest, together with costs of
levying and collecting. And in case the
directors or other authorities neglect or re
fuse to levy a tax or to pay the veteran they
shall be sued, etc. In the House, a bill
was introduced requiring railroad campanies
to pay seven thousand dollars to widow or
minor child of a person killed while riding
in the car of their railroads. The act for
the relief of the citizens of Chambersburg
was favorably reported on by the Commit
tee of Ways and Means. The act extend
ing the time during which military claims
may be presented was passed. The Judi
ciary Committee reported favorably on - the
bill to make eight hours a legal day's work.
Mr. Wilson, introduced on January 30th,
in the U. S. Senate a bill to" provide for a
National Militia, which repeals existing
laws, enrolls all able bodied citizens between
20 and 45 with certain specified exemptions,
creates a Bureau of Militia to the War De
partment, appoints an Adjutant-General to
each State, put the militia while in
actual service on a level with the regular
forces ; directs the organization of one ac
tive volunteer militia regiment in each Con
gressional District, fixes the period of ser
vice at six years, with an honorable discharge
thereafter ; leaves the appointment of offi
cers with the Governors, but subject to the
approval of a Military Board ; places the
whole fore under command of the Presi
dent" during rebellion or war, and makes
failure or service on notification equivalent
to desertion. The bill was referred to the
Military Committee.

'"Occasional" on Clymer and Wallace.
Washington, Feu. 2d, 1SGC Wednes
day's and Thursday's debate in the Senate
of Pennsylvania, on the universal suffrage,
was a vejy pleasaut souvenir of the conduct
of the Copperhead politicians during the
war for the preservation of the Govern
erument. Nothing could be more useful, as
a warning toothers, than the ridiculous
explanations of the Democratic Senatorial
declaimers, Messrs. Clymer and Wallace.
After having abused the poor colord man
to the uttermost for nearly two full days,
they attempted to defend themselves for
their own assaults upon Andrew Johnson
when that fearless patriot, through bis
friends, solicited the privilege of speaking
to the people in our legislative halls. No
political aspirants were ever placed in a di
lemma at once so awkward and so sugges
tive. He who reproduces what they said to
Andrew Johnson in the spring erf 1863, will
smile as he notes how moderate, in compar
ison, is their present abuse of the colored
man. Mr. Clymer, who is an educated gen
tleman and an incessant toiler for nomina
tion for Governor cf Pennsylvania, was al
most as violent ou Wednesday in his denun
ciations of the black man as he was when he
heaped his maledictions on the head of the
white man, Andrew Johuson, in the Senate,
on the Cth of March, 1SG3; but his Phlippic
upon the latter was the bitterest of the two.
Politicians like Mr. Clymer did not then al
low the consideration that Andrew Johnson
was a white man, to save him from their fes
tering calumnies. Our President was then
fighting for the white race of the United
States. He was risking his life, as he had
sacrificed nearly all his means, for the pres
ervation of what these selfish politicians call
the white man's Government. Hunted out
of his own State by the white traitors, he
came into Pennsylvania to beg and implore,
at the hands ot the people, aid and encour
agement for the persecuted loyalists of Eas
tern Tennessee. He told them how his fellow-citizens,
with their wives and children,
had been driven into caves and mountains
by the human blood hounds of slavery ; how,
to use his own language, "his property had
been sacrificed, his wife and children turned
out of doors, his sons imprisoned, his son-in-law
forced into the mountains." "My
people," he added, "are arrested by hun
dreds and thousands, dragged away from their
homes, and incarcerated in dungeons, and
your only response to their murmurs is the
rattling and Ciankmg or chains that bind
their iimbs. Whit!'f he repeats, "is their
condition to-day? They are hunted and pur
sued like the beasts ot the forest by the se
cession and disunion hordes who are enfor
cing their doctrine ot coercion. Thej are
shot or hung for no crimes save a desire to
stand by the Constitution of the United
States. Hepless children and innocent fe
males are murdered in cold blood. Our
men are hung and their bodies left upon the
gibbet. They are shot and left lying in the
gorges of the mountains, not even thrown
into caves, there to lie, but are left exposed
to pass through all the loathsome stages of
decomposition, or to be devoured by birds of
prey." Here was a white man, appealingfor
white men, women and children, hunted, tor
tured and murdered by other white men
who had taken. up arms against a generous
Government. And 'this same appeal was
addressed to white Messrs. Clymer
and Wallace, safe wider the shelter of a
Government whose terrible struggles for its
own preservation thcii looked uno.t with scorn
or indifference. Resident in the midst of
luxury ana pienry, paia oy vie people jor
their doubtful services in the Lcgisliturc,they
refused this white man, Andrew Johnson,
thus invoicing their aid for his white suffer
ing family ami friends, and did so with the
most indecent and insolent effrontry. And
now, after a country saved without them,and
in defiance of them saved, too, by the assis
tance of the strong arms ot the colored peo
ple of the countrj' saved by the men whom
they hunted 'aud slandered a litte less than
three years ago they are suddenly brought
to a sense of the supreme peril which threat
ens our political and social institutions
through the attempt to elevate the liberated
loyalists ot the bouth by an act of the Con
gross of the United States. Now the white
race is to be saved from the negroes. If
the honest people of Pennsylvania needed
anything more to convince themselves of the
utter unworthitiessof these Copperhead pol
iticians, this spectacle should do the work.
It is better than an elaborate argument, and
anticipates and dehncs their settled policy in
iieistcr uiymer is nominated ior ijovernor
of Pennsylvania he will find that while he is
IF rfll - , n t
abusing the friendless colored man and draw
ing a picture of the horrors of allowing him
to enjoy the inalienable civil franchises, he
will be called upon to reconcile with this sil
ly and juvenile party-parrotting his" heart-

country, led too as these were, by the white

man, xi.nurew uonnson, to wnora lie now

will aiso be constrained to satisfy an intelli
gent and exacting people, who well remem
ber what he would now bury in oblivion,
how it is that, as he denies the right of suf
frage to the worthy colored men, he not on
ly does not refuse it to the blood-stained sav
age traitors, but, if he is true to his record,
insists that these baffled assassins should
be clothed with the rights and powers be
longing to the citizens who fought for and
saved the Republic Now that the Demo

making a successful campaign upon the ac
