Tothe Senate and House - of Rem' tventatries of ih Co•nmon
wealth of Pennsylranirs •
GENTLEMEN : I have called you together in
advance of your adjourned session, for the pur
pose of taking sonic action for the defence of the
state. From the commencement of the present.
rebellion, Pennsylvania has done littlitwhole duty
to the government Lying as her southern coun
ties do, in the inunmedutle vicinity of the border,
and thus exposed to sudden invasion, a selfish
policy would have led, her to retain a sufficient
part of her military three for her own defence.
rn so doing, she would have failed in her duty to
the whole country. Not only mould her men
have been withheld from the field of general op
erations, but the loans and taxation which would
have become necessary; would have to a large
ex
tent diminished the ability of' her people to com
ply with the pecuniary demands of the Prnited
States. She would also have necessarily inter
fered with and hampered all the military action
of the Government, mid made herself, to some
extent, responsible for any failures and short
comings thafmay have occurred. In pursuance
of the policy thus deliberately-adopted, this State
has steadily devoted her men to the general ser
, I ice. From the beginning she has always been
among the first— to respond to the calls of the_
United States, as is shown by her history front
the three months' men and the Reserve Corps to
the present moment. Thiel thithfully fulfilling all
her Own obligations, she has a right to be defen-
Aed I T the national three,_as part of a 'common
country - . Any other view Would he absurd and
unjust. She of course cam* complain when she
stiffen by the necessary contingencies of war.—
The reflections that have ijn too away quarters
been made upon the people ilf her miutherit coun
ties are most unfounded. They were invaded in
1862. when a Union army Much superior to any
force of the rebels, (and on which they had of
course a right to rely, )was Ding in their imme
diate vicinity and north of the Potomac. They
were again invaded in 1563, after the defeat of
the Union forces under Milroy, at Winchester.
and they have again suffered in 1t14i4, after the de
feat of the Union forces undirCrook and Arefill.
How wail an agricultural people in an open
country be expected to rise suddenly and beat
back hostile forces which had defeated organized
veteran armies of the Govenunent
It is of course expected that the inhabitants of
as invaded country will do ‘s hat is in their power
to resist the invaders, and the finds ffereinafter
stated will Ain*, I think, that the people - Of these
counties have not failed in this duty. If Pennsyl
vania, by reason of her geographical position, has
required to be delimded by the national force. it
has only been _against the common enemy. It
has never been neceNsary to weahen the army in
the field by sending heavy detachments of vets
inns to save her cities front being devastate 4 bti
small bands of - ruffians, composed of their own
inhabitant , . 'Nor have her people been dispoted

neut to Gen. Couch, by telegraph, who was 'then
tit Chambemburg. - The •head of this indium
reached Chambersburg at 3 o'clock, A. M. on
Saturday - \ the :10th.
The rebel brigades of Vaughn and Jacinm,
lumbering about 3,060 mounted men. ermined the
Potomac at about the tunic bun, at or neargii
liamsport—part of the command ails imccd till
Hagerstown—the main body 'moved on the road
. leading from Williamsport to Greencastle. An
other rebel column of infantry nod artillery cross
ed the Potomac simultaneously at Sluippardh
town, and moved towards Leiteri'dmrg. Gen.
Averill, who commanded a force reductid to about
2,600 men, was at Hagerstown, and being threat
ened in front by Vaughn and Jackson, on his
right- by M'Causland and
.Johnston, who also
threatened his rear, and on hisjeft by the eolumn
which crossed at Sheppardstown, he
s therefore
fell-back upon Greencastle.
Gen. Merill, it in understood, was under the
orders of Gem Hunter, but was kept as f u lly ad
'vbied by Gen. Courli as was possible, of the elle
my's movements on his right and to his rear.—
Gen. Couch was in Chninbersburg; where his en
tire force consisted of 60 infantry, 45 cavalry, and
a seMion of a battery of artillery,,ill uli, less than
150 men. The six companies of mem enlisted
for one hundred days remaining in the State, and
two companies of cavalry hail, under orders from.
Washington, (as I inn _unofficially intbruied,)
joined Gin. Averill. The town of Chambersburg
wad-held until daylight, by the sinallforce under
GeeConeh, during which time the GovernMent
stores and trains, Were saved. Two batteries
were tho planted lw the enemy commanding the
town and it Wins invested by the whole command
of Johnston and 3reatdand. At 7 - o'clock, A-
M.; six companies of dismounted men, emnroand--
ed by Sweeny, entered the town, follow'ed by
mounted' men Under Gillmore. The main force
was in line of battle=a demand"was made for
'lOO.OOO- dollars in gold,, or 500,000 dollars in
GovennUent fluids, as ratmni,and a number of
citizens were arrested and held as hostages for
its paylni'nt. No offer of money ,wrt Annie by
the citizens of the town, and even if they had
any intention of paying a ransom, no time was

allowed, as the rebels commenced im • tely to

and even the bodies ofthe dead were t protec

vain for all the citizens of the town, ifsarmed, to
-hate attempted, in connectibn with Gen. Conch''s
small flit . * to defend it. Gen. Couch withdrew
his command 'and did not himself leave until the
enemy were actually in the, town. Gen-Averill's
command being within nine miles of Chambers

night to' cominunicate with him. In the mean

I commend the hnuseiess and ruinexl'people of
Chamherstan : tr to, the liberal benevoience of the
Legislature, and suggest that 4 suitable appropri
ation he made' for their relicsf. Similar charity
has heretofore been exercised in the ease of an
accidental and destructive fire at Pittsburg, and
' I cannot doubt the disposition of the LeMslature .
on the present occasion. : ,
'On the fifth day of this month - a, large rebel
army was in Maryland .and in various points on
theltotomac tie tar west 'as Nee,' Creek, and as
there,was no adequate , foroa , within- the State, I
deemed if my duty on thdt day to ealifor Thirty,

Feeling it to be the duty of the General Gov

Tilowoi M. VINCENT,
. Urnerot,
in e ach 91 the three years, 18t52,,486:3 and
I (ii, it ha's Lean found necessary to call the
State militia fire the defence of the State, and this
has been done with the assent and assistance of
the'Genjral Goveniment. From the want 'of or
ganization, we have been obliged to rely exclu
sively on. the volunteer militia, and with fel\ ex.-
,: e w n s to organize them anew for each-occa
sion. This has caused confusion and a loss of
valnableAnne, and has resulted in sending to the
field bodies uf men in a' great measure undiscip
lined. The militia bill passed at the last session
is T think forordinary times the best militia law
we bate ever had; but under the existing'extra-
Trdinary circumstances it seems to ,require mod
ification& I suggest that the assessors be direc
ted to make nu immediate enrollment, classifying
the militia as may be though best ; that the olli;
eers he appointed by the Governor, on the re
• commendation,' approved by him; of a hoard
examination, composed of three Major Generals
for each division, Q f whom thee Mt for General of
the division shall be one, the other two to be de
signated by the pfloveriMr, front adjoining divi-'
sions, or in such other manner 1 - 4 the Legislature
may think: tit; that in all eases Abe officers shall
be selected by preference from officers and men
who have been in service, and shall have been
honorably discharged by the United- States, and
that effectual provision he mudefor drafting the

militia when required. The recomme , , .tion ip
regard to appointments is made toavoi thelangry
dissensions, and, too - idrem political jealousies
which divide military organizations b, thd elec
tion of olliiers, and to secure the sett ' ckof the
most.ile,orving and 'competent men. t I
The election of Officers in the volun eel'. forces
in the field has been •found to be inju ous to the
service, while promotions by seniority, and ap-
Pointinents of meritorious privates has prciduced
harnion 'and stimulated to faithfulness. in the
enlistment of new organizations the plan adopted
of grantima.authority to officers to recruit com
panies has been found to be the best policy. - I
also recominend that the Governor be authorized
to Mrin (either by the acceptance of volunteers
or by droll iu midi , parts of the State.as heipay
.i.. 0111 expedient) a special corps of militia to'Con-
NW in due proportion of Cavalry, Artillery and
Infantry, to be kept up to the full numbed of fif
teen regiments to be styled "Minute Mete who
shall he sworn and mustered into the service of
the State for three years—who shall assemble
for drill'at such times and places as he way di
rect, who shall be clothed, armed and eqUipped
by - the State, and paid when assembled liir drill
or called into service, and who shall at all times
he liable to be called into immediate service for
the defence of the State. independently ofthe re
mainder of the militia. ..
i
As this.force would be subject to sudden calls,
the larger part, of it should be organized.: in the
counties lying on our extreme border, and as the
people of these counties have more personal inter
est, in their protection, the recommendation is
made to authorize the Governor to design* the
parts of the State in which it shouldbe raikd and
to sate , the . time and expense of-trans Porting
troops from remote parts of the State and the sub
sistence and pay in going 'to and from the bor
der. I
A. be - If Me- '...ed, will, it is believed
A body.of nien so organized, will, it is believe,
be_effective to prevent raids and incursion. The
expenses of clothing, arming - and equipping such
a three cannot be correctly: ascertained, j buf the
Quartermaster General has been directed to make
approximate estimates for your infoimation,
which _will be independent to pay and isubtrist
ence.l
The State should provide at least six four -glut,
batteries of field artillery with all the moderami
provements. - -
The suggestion has been frequently. made by
unreflecting persons that the State should raise a
force and keep it permanently in_the field forher
defehee. Apart from other considemtigns, it is
to be observed that the expenses of suelila meas
ure would be quite beyond the present ability of
the'State.
To mile and maintain an army of fifteen Fegi
ments would involve an annual expenditure of
more than fifteen iidilions of dollars, and any
smaller force would be inadequate. The plan
which I have above proposed would, if think,
give fo the State efficient protection, and if the.
Legislature should think tit to adopt it; the ex
pense can be readily provided for by loan or
otherwise.
Having an organized force under tb control
of the authorities of the State, and nutsegred into
service ,for domestic prOteetion, we would not,
as herkoforo. lose time in-arranging for transpor
tation, and supplies with the National' Govern
ment, when it became necessary to call it into
the tleld. When thoroughly organized, should
be in all its appointments an army which could
be
_increased by draft tram our enrolled and class
ified. citizens.
The plan which I have above suggested is the
resnit of reflection and experience which I have
had during the last three years, and. Ilhave felt
it to be my duty to submit it for your considera
tion. Of the purpose of providing forlhe effec
tual defebee of the State,- I of eon e cannot
doubt Your approval: If the Legislatiire should
prefer the' adoption of any other plan moreeffi
cientiand economical than the one which I have
herein -proposed, it will give me pleasjure to co
operate heartily in carrying it into &init.
In aecordanee with the act of May .4,1864, I
have appointed for the Eastern -Armies, Col. F. ,
:Timbl, as Agent at Washington, and Lieut. Col.
James Gilliland, as Assistant Agent at thatplace;
and also for the South Western Armies, Lieut.
Col. 'James Chamberlin, as Agent at
,INashville.
The•ie Agentx are now actively engriged in the
pertiirmanee of their duties, and it is desirable
that] our people should he aware that a part of
theta consist in the gratuitous collection of all
claims by Pennsylvama volunteers or heir legal
representatives on, the State and National Gov
ernments. Volunteers—having claims on either
- of these governments, can have theM collected
throligh these agents without expenst, and thus
he re , ened from the extortions to which it is tbar
ed they have sometimes heretofore been subjec
ted.' Having, received information - froth the.
ageMs of the State That our sick and wounded
were suffering greatly titan the wants of comforts
and even necessaries, I have been recently cum
pelMd. to call on the people to contribute sup;
plies mainly in kind for their relief, and it gives
me pleasure to -say that this_ appeal hits been
eheortnlly,responded,to, as have been, all my for;
men appeals to the saute end.'
It seems impossible to exhaust the liberality of
out generous people when the well-being of our
Volunteers is in question. .In my special
message °Path April I stated the circum
stances attending the advance by banks and other
corporations, of funds hft the payment of the mi
litia called out in Is ~ 6 3. In consequence the
Legislature passed the act of 4th May, 1864, au
thorizing a loan for themirpose of refunding, with
interest, the amount thus advanced, in case Con
1...7-ess should fairto make the necessary appropri
ation at current session. I regret to F4l2:'
that Congress adjourffed without making such
appiopriation.
The bahnice in the Treasury being - found suffi
cient to re-hnburse-the funds so advanced, with-
Mit mainly' diminishing the Sinking fuid, I have
devilled it advisable not to advertise for proposals
for the loan. and reeounuend the . passage of an
art direethig the payment- to be made eat of the
moneys in the Trea&try.

As the onlissiOn of Congress to net on this IMb•
jeet: involved an Imprecedentod disregard of the
good Huth of the .I‘;:itionul authorities, I reconi
wend. that the Legb,lature take measures tbr pro
miring an' appropriation at the next session of
Congress. -
The Revenue Bill passed at the last session has
been found to be detect - Ile in several points, and
recommend a eareful and itnmediatf , revision of
it. !
. The Bounty Bill passed at the last session
found to be defective and unjust in many of its
provisions, and from the manlier in whiehitis
ninninistereilin some parts of the :Rate, oppress.
lee: on the people. 1 therefore recommend a
oaretift revision of it.
As the present session has been called for tht
uonsitlerution of mutters of dial public impor
tnnee, I rowua•ud them to 'your ournost and ex
