At the date of my
U-t annual message, I had drawn frcm
the Ireasnry c-i"ht thousand live liunareu i
dollars, and paid out up to the 1st day of
December, lthl, six tlionsana iuur nun-
d-cd dollars when my account was set
tled. Since that time I have drawn
two thousand dollars from the treasury,
part of which, with the balance in my
hands, has been expended in the payment
of members of ny personal staff in service
when I .required ahsi.stancc, and in procu
ring information, and to persons employed
when the Stats was threatened with
in-vasion in September, 18G2, and during
the raid in October last.
An account of these expenditures will
be found on !c iu the cface of the Audit

Under rinr act of 20th April, 183-S. it
i my intentiow to take early measures for
the sa'e ot the powder magazine in the
- lk;i-ir?1r.hi! Tlio r.owder maira-
xine at llarrisburg is not judiciously j
located. A State powder magazine ought,
in my judgment, to be erected on a siit
b!e she in the vicinity of this place, and
I recommend the attention of the Legis
lature to the subject.
In September last two batteries of rifled
cannon were presented to the Common
wealth by a committee ot citizens of Phil
adelphia, through S. V. Merrick, Esq ,
which are now in the Arsenal iu that city.
1 recommend that provision be made for
procuring carriages, caissons and other
rquipr.K-u.ts for them. The liberal donors
are entitled to the thanks of the Common
wealth for their patriotic gift.
Under the joint resolutions of 28th of
February, 1802, measures were promptly
taken for the relief of our tick and wound
ed men in the field.
The wounded at Winchester, Strasburg,
Front Royal.. Williamsburg and Fair
Oaks,:.id those in the corps of Maj. Gen.
Hanks were duly aiteuded on the field or
in the vicinity by Surgeon General Smith,
and a corps of surgeons under his direc
tion, and were brought into this State.
The same system would have been con
tinued, but in June last, I received a
letter from the Surgeon General of the
United State?, representing that it was
found inconvenient to the service, and
must creata difneultiea in the regular
.idcutitleaUOu of the soldiers for pyy""atid
pensions.
In compliance with Lis views, I was
reluctantly obliged to discontinue the
f.yskM.i, but I have not ceased to urge 0:1
the War Department the propriety of
rending our sick and wounded men in'o
the Sistc, where they can be nursed and
ared foi by their friends, and have to
way that at length such tin arrangement
was made with tlu authorities at Wash

incurred under the joint resolution was
five thousand one hundred and nineteen
dollars and eighty three cent?, the details
of which will be found in jhe report of
the Surgeon GeMtril and of the Chief of
Transportation.
I have uniformly, when applied to,
allowed the expense of transportation of

In this connection I must speak with
applause of the active benevolence of our
citizens, who have without compensation
devoted their time and care to their suf
fering fellow citizens, disabled by the
casualties of war. Not only have many
gone to the neM, to administer tneir kiuu
offices, but in every part of the Common
wealth thousands have applied their means
and exertions to the same end; and espe
cially have the women of Pennsylvania,
obeying their true womanly instincts,
shown that they are worthy to be"the
mothers, wives and sisters of the brave
men whom they have stimulated to their
duty, and southed and nursed in the suf
ferings that have ensued the performance
of it.

( 'apt. Henry E. Wrigley, of the city of

the defences of the Delaware, which I
herewith transmit for information.
In July last, I received, at Pittsburg,
by telegraph au offer from the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company, of a donation of
fifty thousand dollars to assist in paying-
bounties to volunteers. I declined tms i
offer, because I h

J'g to i undertake

since received a letter on the subject f rom
the company suggesting othep modes of
disposing of the money, a copy of which
is annexed to this message.
If the Legislature should accept the
donation, 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 asyium, be authorized
to accept such further contributions as our
citizens may offer. In a well managed
establishment of that kind, it is probable
that the pensions to be allowed by the
Government to the men, will enable them
to support themselves with comfort. By
an act of Congress passed on the second
day of July, 1862, lauds were granted to
the several States for the endowment.
support and maintenance by each State, of j
at least one college for teaching such 1
branches of learning as are related to
azriculturc aud the mechanic arts, without
excluding other scientific and classical
studies, and including military tactics.
I recommend that proper provision be
made by the Legislature for having the
lauds thus granted to this State selected,
and the title made to the State, and that
Congress be requested to allow the lands
and their proceeds to be used by the State
iu the construction and support of such
:.n nsylisu as I have above suggested.
The details of the operations of the
common school system, during the school
year that terminated on the first Monday
in June, 1802. manifest scarcely any evil
effects from the tioubled state of the
country. Absence of the usual degree of
Togrcss in tli2 various departments is the
only result observable. To have held its
own, however, during the severe ordeal
to which, in common with all our great
social interests and enterprises, it has heen
subjected, K the strongest proof ot its in
herent vigor, and of the hold it possesses
upon the affections as well as the judgment

common honesty; and while it would be
most unwise for the State to interfere at
all with the rate of wages, it i3 in my
judgment incumbent on her to protect her
laboring population by requiring that
whatever may be the wages stipulated,
they shall be so paid that the recipient
may purchase necessaries fur himself and
his family, where they can be had best
and cheapest. I do most earnestly recom
mend this subject to the Legislature for
prompt and effectual action.
I believe that the several charitable
institutions to which the Legislature has
been accustomed to g-ant aid, have been
well managed during the past year.

By the Act of 20th March, 1813, it
was proviled that citizens absent from

exercise their right of suffrage as if they
were present at the usual places of election
This act was substantially re enacted in
the general election law jci.-sel on the 2d
of J uly, 1839. The Supreme Court has
recently decided that by reason of a phrase
iu the constitutional amendments ed 163-S.
this provision has become unconstitutional
Pennsylvania ha? sent to the service about
two hundred thousand citizens, who. by
this decision, are di-fVaucliiel. This
seems to be a hard measure that ne;i
who testify their devotion to the country
bv going to the field should thereby lose
the most inestimable right of a citizen. 1
recommend that the necessary stfps be
forthwith commenced to amend the con
stitution, stias to give the right uf suffrage
to the citizens who are thu excluded.

Tlic Governor's SJcssase.
To the exclusion of our unal variety, j
we this week give place to the Annual j
. r, 7 j
.Message of Governor Curtin, delivered on
injPnrtarce of the topics discussed tne j
position which cur Commonwealth, from I
whatever stand-point we view it, now oc-

involved the Message deserves a double !
importance, both as a State paper and the j
enunciation of the Chief Matristiate of one i
of. the, if not of the most powerful Com- I
monweahh in the Union.
Tl;n cir;i.M .-C tlii TI'-Ti.t-,,.r 71
rjraph on this tul.jcct are so pertinent
and to the point that wc adopt them as
our owir : The first topic touched is of
rmrsn or.o relating to the iireuliar inter-
i
, c o. . m. x
est? of the ctate. Those interests are
t . .
involved in the heiress prosperity of the
people, and ibis prosperity is of course
,uore or Joss controlled by the financial
iuahh .lslJ PCCuitv of the loeal stife
Tl .
jrovcrnuicnt- in tins ;tri iL'Uiiir, iuc iiic-
snge presents a spectacle of security and
success which seems almost fabulous.
From tables embraced in the message,
we derive the information that the receipts
from ordinary sources of revenue for the
year 1SG2, are in excess of the receipts of
tit e year 1801 one nii'uoii thirty tJummml
one hiuirfnitl and srvenfy-xix dol-ars avd j
fanJ tl)rce !nKtircd and seventeen doila-s
aud sixteen cents less than the year pre
vious. What other state can present a
similar acouot of its finances ? None
certainly, in this Union, and of course
!bone out ot it's limits in either side of the
Atlantic. And with this spectacle of the
health of our finance, while the ration is
devising plans for the increase of its rev
enues, the Chief Magistrate of Pennsylva
nia deems it just to recommend a reduction
of the burdens of taxation, because the
resources and the finances of the Common
wealth are such asto enable the State
Government to sustain iiscif, to a certain
extent, without direct aid from the people.
We deem this bare fact, extracted from
the figures with which the message sets
forth the financial condition of the State,
sufficient to elicit our warmest congratula
tion, not 01. 1y for the people, who are so
largely benefitted by the result, but also
for the Executive, who has so steadily aud
zealously labored for its realization.
The message in detail refers to other
interests affecting the credit of the State,
and contributing to its resources, all of
which arc in a healthy and prosperous
condition. In reference to the military
operations of the Commonwealth, the
message conveys facts which have already
found their way to the public in unofficial
j frhape. These facts are now the fair boast-
j amj i,onC!it pride of every true Pcnnsylva-
. ;f f , . .
1 . .-- - - j .
otic fovcr of the Union. Bvcry call made
for troops was promptly answered, and the
men, without a murmur or expression of
dissent, were mustered into the service of
the Government, and arc now cither
bravely battling in defcuce of the Union,
or afcer having fought the good fight, are
resting in graves covered with the glory
of the deeds in which they participated.
It is best that the reader reviews fur
himself the history and the figures which
the message presents. When these are
fairlv wciirhtd and digested, when the
, j , 1!mJcnt f the Commonwealth is
