    interference from beyond our borders,
especially as we cannot in these circum
Btanoes offer bounties by the State, with
out the injustice of compelling the
counties and townships which have al
ready contributed largely in that way, to
assist in paying, by taxation, for the defi
ciency ot others.
I feel it to be my duty, to call your
attention to the pernicious practice of
leaving many bills to be hurried through
... i .1 T-y ; - . L
at tne close 01 me session.
Durinsf the
last ten days of the last session,
390 bills
were presented for rny signature, many of
them of the most important character.
The whole number of bills presented to
me during the session was 715. In con
sequence of this habit, not only are bills
fassed without an opportunity to cither
louse for a proper consideration of their
provisions, but the Executive is compelled
either to sign them without examination,
or to hold them over perhaps to the public
inconvenience. It may often happen that
a bill not approved by reason of a single
obnoxious clause, might if there were time,
be repassed, omitting the objectionable
provision. In connection with the subject
of Legislation, I must refer to another
mischief. General laws have beeu passed
to give relief in certain cases which form
erly required a special act in each case.
As for instance the sale of lands by exe
cutor, administrators and trustees, the
adoption of children, the creation of
mining and manufacturing corporations,
und so forth. These laws were passed to
etsure such an examination in each case
as would enable justice to be done to the
parties and to tho public, and also to save
the time and expense consumed in private
legislation. They have hitherto effected
ueither purpose, but I do seriously urge
on the Legislature the consideration that
whoever applies for a special aot under
such circumstauces must either fear the
result of an impartial inquiry or (if the
application be for a charter) must desire
the omission or insertion of some provision
contrary to what the Legislature has de
termined alter maturo consideration to be
just and legitimate.
I refer to the Auditor General's and
S'ate Treasurer's reports for the detaMs
of out finaa cial affairs, and to the reports of
the Surveyor. General, Adjutant General,
Quartermaster General, Commissary
General, Surgeon General, Agent at
"Washington, Chief of Transportation ui
Telegraph . .Department, and Superinten
dent of Common Schools, in regard to their
several departments.
In May last it was bclievod from inform
ation received, that Gcueral Lee intended
to invade thia State. Communications ou
the subject were immediately Bent to
Washington, urging that preparations for
effective defence should not be delayed.
Accordingly the War Department erected
two new military departments, viz : The
Department of the Monongahela, including
that portion of the State lying west of the
mountains, to bo commanded by Maj. Gen.
Brooks, and the Department of the Susque
hanna, comprising the remainder of the
State, and to be commanded by Moj. Gen.
Coach.
Early ic June, "Maj. Gea. Couch arrived
at Harrisburg and assumed command of
his department, which he lias since exer
cised with thb soldierlike promptness,
energy and discretion which were to be
expected from his known character.
The rebels having actually entered the
State in some force, and the approach of
their whole army being imminent, the
President made a requisition for militia
from this and some of the neighboring
States, and several regiments from New
York and New Jersey were promptly sent,
and our own volunteer militia began to
nssemb'.e, but some embarrassments arising,
the President assented to a call by the
Executive of the State, which was accord
ingly made. Under these calls 5,1GG of
the men of Pennsylvania were assembled
iu the Department of General Brooks, and
31,4215 in that ot General Couch. To
give the details, or even a summary of the
operations which ensued, would be im
practicable within the limits of a message.
It is unnecessary to do so, as I have
recommended the adoption of measures
for preserving the history of our. several
regiments and other organizations, and in
that history the events to which I have
referred will be recorded. It i due,
however, to the men xrho camo forward,
that I Fhould say now that they made
Jong and laborious marches in parts of
this and other States which had Deen
plundered "by the rebels, suffered great
c . . . j r ii-: a'.,.i
privation, ana were irequeuuy in tuuuitt
with the enemy ; and ou all occasion? acted
in obedience to military discipline and
orders, and with courage and endurance.
Some of the militia called in 18G2 and in
1863, were killed and others disabled. In
ull these cases, where there are no lawa for
th relief of these men or their families, 7
recommend the enactment' of- a law for
that purpose.
The campaign on our soil was closed by
the rlctory oi Gettysburg, gained by thef
veteran Army of the Potomac, under the
command of Major General Meade, the
officers and men of which displayed all
their accustomed valor and endurance in
the conflict, and in the forced and rapid
marches which immediately preceded it.
Under Divine Providence, to them and
to the military genius and unsurpassed
energy of General Meade, and the
promptness and self-sacrificing gallantry of
Genera! Reynolds, we are iudebted for
success on thac bloody field.
We are proud to claim General Meade
and Keynolda a sou of our own Pcnusyl
tsoU. The firt li rfeta enjov the moot precious
pf all reward., the grateful nppreciation of .
Iii counJrymi'tt. The Jttcr fell ia tho 1 1
very front of the battle, arid wo can only
pay homage to his memory. Whatever
honors. have been at any time devised to
commemorate the virtues of a patriot of
a true, fearless, loyal citizen and Eoldier,
he has abundantly deserved.
His surviving companions in arms
claim the right of themselves erecting a
monument to him on the field on which he
fell, an" it would not be well to interfere
with their pious intention. But I hope
that the Legislature will place upon the
records of the State some appropriate
testimony of the public gratitude to him
and his surviving commander.
It would be unjust ta omit referring
again to the" loyal spirit of our people,
which has been evinced in every mode
since this war commenced. Not onlj1

eral and special service of the Government,
and supported with checrfuness the bur
dens of taxation, but our storehouses ad
depots have literally overflowed wih
comforts ajud necessaries, spontaneously
contributed by them, under the active
care of thousands of our women, (faithful
unto death,") for the sick and wounded and
prisoners, as well as for our armies in the
field. Their patriotic benevolence seems
to be inexhaustible. To .every new call,
the response becomes more and raofe
liberal. When intelligence was receivil
of the barbarian starvation of our prison
ers in llichmoud, the gamers of the whle
State were instantly thrown open, ahd
before any similar movement had ben
made elsewhere, I was already employed
on behalf of our people in efforts to secure
the admission through the rebel ylincs
of the abundant supplies provided for
the relief of our suffering brethren.
Those of our citizens who have fallen into
the habit of disparaging our great Com
monwealth and the unsurpassed efforts of
her people should blush when they look
on this picture. 1
That this" unnatural rebellion may be
speedily and effectually crushed, we lie
all under the obligation of the one
paramount duty that of vigorously sup
porting our Government in its measures
to that end. To the full extent of my
official aad individual ability it shall be so
supported, and I rely heartily on jrour co
operation. I am ready for all proper meas
ures to strengthen its arm to encourage its
upholders to stimulate by public liberali
ty, to themselves and their families, the
men who give to it their personal service
in ever' mode to invigoVato its action.
We are fighting the great battle of God
of truth of right of liberty. The
Almighty has no attribute that can favor
our savage and degenerate enemies. No
people cm submit to territorial dis
memberment without becoming contempt
ble in its own eyes and in those of the world
2ut it is not only against territorial
dismemberment 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
powerful Republic. That is the question
to be now solved, and by the blessing of
God, we mean that it shall not be our
fault if it be not solved favorably.
We have, during the past year, made
mighty strides toward such a solution, and
to all human appearance we approach its
completion. Uut whatever reverses may
happen whatever blood.and treasure may
still be required whatever sacrifices may
be necessary there will reinain the
inexorable determination of our people to
fight out this thing to the end -to pre
serve and perpetuate this Union. . They
have sworn that not one star shall be
reft from the constellation, nor its cluster
ed brightness be dimmed by treason and
savagery, and they will keep their oath.

The State Senate. The Senate still
continues at a dead-lock. The Philadel
phia I'rc&s, however, says it has good
authority for stating that Senator White
will, in all probability, soon resume his
scat in the State Senate. The terms of
his exchange have been detei mined, and
it is not unlikely that he will bo in Har
risburg in the course of a week. His
return will end the power of the Opposi
tion to suspend legislation, and defeat
measures necessary to the people of Penn
sylvania. The satisfactory termination of
the dispute by the release of a brave
soldier from a rcbeV prison, is doubly
gratifying. His freedom will be due to
the energy of the Government, and Penn
sylvania will not forget this great service
to her interests. But what shall we think
of a party which owes its defeat "to the
liberation of a Union soldier, and would
profit by the continuance of his captivity !

TIIURSDA1 :::::::::::::::::: JANUARY 21.
for president:
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois.
Trylugr to liaise, tlie Dead.
A few days ago, in one of our principal
cities, was assembled a conclave of seedy
politicians, whose conscience", in searching
out ways to perpetuate the damnable sys
tem of slavery, had become seared as with
a hot iron assembled to look up a can
didate for the Presidency, and set a ball
in motion which would push into the
Presidential chair one who would follow
in the treasonable footsteps and reproduce
the political atrocities of Franklin Pierce
and James Buchanan. These fossils,
following their interests, turned away from
the living to the dead, and George B.
M'Clellan was taken from the "tomb of
the Capulets" for their purpose. Witfi a
great flourish of trumpets, they then
resolved that the hero of the Chickahom
iny Swamps was tho man to lead the lose
tribes of Copperheadism to certain victory,
and drive Honest Old Abe into the retire
ment of private life. Gen. M'Clellan's
political friends have reversed his military
policy by bringing him first into the field
for the Presidency in 18SL True, he
has notbeeu made acandidate long enough
to hurt him or any body else seriously, but
he is nevertheless in the field, favorably
mounted, with a hind-rider of the moet
jipprcved conservative sort, and there may
be some few papers in the United States
bold enough to espouse the cause of the
M'Clellan and Campbell ticket.
The self-constituted committee, styling
themselves conservative-Unionists, seemed
to be a sprinkling of broken winded,
spavined and worthless old political nags,
from the akirts of all the old parties
men who had in turn left every political
organization that ever lad an cxistenc,
and with a solemnity becoming a meet
ing of departed spirits they resolved that
the war should never have begun ; that it
should be stopped fraternally ; that the
conservative clement alone could save the
government j and finally that they were
the conservatives. They then called up
a spirit named Geo. B. M'Clellan that
had entered tho shades of death with one
Woodward about the 14th of October
last, and declared him their candidate for
the Presidency. They then, like one of
old, called upon the people to "fall down
and worship the image they had set up."
The invitation was long, loud and protrac
ted but no response came, and none ever
will come.
This attempt of a set of traitors and
southern sympathizers to jjahranizo into
life a man who stands as low in the esti
mation ot the American people as he does
high in military rank, and who has
forfeited not only the confidence but the
respect cf the loyal men and women of
the country, is not only a useless effort,
but it dwindles down into imbecility and
merits contempt. M'Clellan for President,
and Wm. B. Campbell, of Tennesseo, for
Vice President, seems to have been the
choice of this self-constituted convention.
Surely this was a judicious ghostly act.
Campbell has been Congressman, twice
Governor, has been for the Union, then
for the Rebels, and now again for the
Union since the Unionists hold Tennessee,
and he is of course eminently conservative
aud will become more so at any time if
the Rebels should happen to get a good
hand again. Being rather a variable
spirit, with changing hues, from conserva
tive Union fo yery conservative Rebel, his
nomination fitly crowned the stupendous
work of getting out a pair of political
ghosts for the presidential race of ISdL
In the terse language of the lamented
Douglas, there aro now but two parties
patriots and traitors, and that will be
the dividing line in the next presidential
election Abraham Lincoln, if he lives,
is just as sure to be re-elected to the
Presidency, as that the sun will rise to
morrow. His majority will be counted by
hundreds of thousands. All. the powers
of earth and hell combined with traitors,
copperheads and pro-slavery sympathizers
can never prevent this result. No "old
gentlemen" candidates, whether it be
George B. M'Clellan, Horatio Seymour,
Clement L. Vallandigham, John C.
Breckinridge, Jeff Davie, Gen. Lee, Mason,
or Slidell, will stand a ghost of a chance
against him. That kind of "conservatism"
which fosters slavery, either directly or
indirectly, that kind of democracy which
sympathizes with the rebellion, and spends
its strength in crying out against the loyal
doctrines of the hour, is already daad and
damned. The people hate them with a
hatred that knows no limits. The loyal
people of the American States have de
termined that this unholy rebellion shall
perish, and with it will perish all who sail
under its piratical flag.

Jottings from Washington.
Washington City, Jan. 14, 1864.
To the Editor of The Alleghanian :
Since my last letter was written, the
Congressional vacation has ended, and the
Members hav.e returned to their desks.
During the recess many bills of importance
were prepared which will be passed into
laws with littTc delay. Perhaps the most
important oft these bills has already
become a law4-that extending the time
fur the paymeit of bounties to veterans
from the 5th ot January to' tho 1st of
March. It passed the House last week,
and the Senate on Tuesday. It is worth
noting that this extension of time was
made the subject of a special message to
Congress from the President, in which
the policy of paying bounties to veterans
after the 5th of" January was strongly
urged. The President in this showed at
once his appreciation of the services of
veteran soldiers and his desire to make
the coming draftfall as ligtitlyjas possible
upon the "loya masses" who prefer to
stay at home. The bounty to veterans is
$400, and to "greenhorns" SUGO. A'eter
ans and volunteers are coming forward
with enthusiasm,' Secretary Chaso has
stated that the Treasury can bear the
large draft upon its resources which the
adoption of this bounty policy renders
necessary. So, for the present, and until
that other draft is ordered, all will go
merry a3 a marriage bell in the way of
raising a new army.
And what about the draft ? In some
of the States it won't take place at all.
Vermont and Indiana have already filled
their quotas ; Connecticut and Wisconsin
expect to do so within another week j
New York and one or two other States
hope to avoid the conscription in much
the same way that the crazy miller got
into heaven by a very tight fqueeze.
Pennsylvania will certainly be visited by
it. Where the draft Joes take place, wc
predict tha these features will character
ize it : thcr will be no exemptions, except
for disability j all persons under forty-five
years of ago will be liable, a3 they always
should havp been ; the 6300 clause will
be retained, as it ought to be. The draft
will probably commence early iu February.
Many persons are in the habit of speak
ing of Washington as. a "country town,"
and Mr. Washburne of Illinois the other
day referred to it cu the floor of the House
as a "barren and isolated place." With
out volunteering a quarrel with those who
have fo poor an opinion of the Metropolis,
we are prompted to state a fact for the
information of your literary readers.
This week we have had a lecture from
John W. Forney in Odd Fellow's Hall,
another from Edwin P. Whipple in Wil
liard's Hall, and a course of three lectures
by Professor Agassiz in the Hall of the
Smithsonian Institution. To night John
B. Gough commences a course of four
lectures in Dr. Sunderland's Church, and
and on Saturday night Miss Anna E.
Dickenson lectures in the Hall of the
House of Representatives. It is our pri
vate opinion that no other "country town"
in the Union can display a literary record
equal to this within the same number of
das. And all these lectures either have
been or will be well attended by fashion
able and intelligent audiences.
It seems to bo settled beyond all perad
yenture that Abraham Liucoln will be re
elected President of the United States.
His only formidable competitor for the
nomination by the Union National Con
vention is Secretary Chase. vGen. Grant
and Gen. Banks are understood to have
refused the use of their names in connec
tion with the Presidency, and Gen. Butler
must Vait. Grant will soon be made
Lieufenant-General, and transferred to
Washington, succeeding Halleck, whom
nobody" appears to think fit for the posi
tion h has held for eighteen mouths.
The only straw that seems just now to
poinTaway from the President and in the
direction of Secretary Chase is the Mis
souri imbroglio. Mr. Chase sides with
the anti-Gamble. anti-Schofield party, aud
the popular voice is assuredly with hini
and agaiiut the President.
Judge Ratc3
is undoubtedly responsible for the Presi
dent's unpopular courso with regard to
Missouri affairs. He is a brother-in-law
of Gamble, and his son is a Gamble poli
tician and was a candiJuto for Judge at
the late election. Of course, J udge Bates
has done his utmost to retain Gamblo and
Schofield, whose political views harmon
ize, in supreme authority in Missouri, and
has so far had the ear of the President.
Nevertheless, among politicians here, Mr.
Lincoln's re-nomination and re-electiou
are generally conceded. Tho Chronicle of
this city, the Admiuistration organ, and
owned and edited by John W. Forney, is
out this morniug iu a long editorial ' in
favor of a second term.
" It affords me great pleasure to inform
youv readers that Major Francis Jordan,
of Bedford, has been appointed Agent for
tho State of Pennsylvania at the National
Capital. Governor Curtiu could not have
made a better appointment. Tho Major
i3 in every sense icortfti. ll'u fitness for
any position within the gift cf his native
State was long since proved ; 'but, like
your correspondent, Mr. Uditor, his inod
esfy has always militated against his
advancement. He has resigned his com
mission a3 a Paymaster in the Army, and
will assume his new duties in a couple of
weeks.
The dreaded small pox is still spreading
in this city. Senator Lemuel J. Bowden,
of East Virginia, has died of it. The
means of averting a threatened plague
from this loathsome disease are being
considered by Congress, the city govern
ment, and the newspapers. We have no
panic, but there is general alarm. The
anxious question, "Wi'l Congress repeal
the S300 clause V has given place to the
sympathetic inquiry, 4Did your vaccina
tion take V Many very cautious peopl3
will not ride in the street car or hacks
forfearcf the contagion. As yet, however,
I do not hear of any timid Members of
Congress having resigned their seats on
account of the presence of that contagion
in the city, al' hough it might fairly be
presumed that the disease would present
unnatural terrors to them. The virtuous
and the good, you know, Mr. Editor, are
always taken first. , J. M. s.
C-Sk. The Supreme Court oi Pennsylva
nia has reversed its decision cn the
constitutionality of the Enrollment Act,
an J now affirms what it has heretofore
denied. The change is due to the election
of Judge Agnew in place of Judge Lewis,
so that the Court now stands three in
favor of and two against the validity of
the act. The order issued by Chief
Justice Woodward late Democratic
candidate for Governor fur a preliminary
injunction against the Provot Marshal,
is rescinded, and the judicial hindrances
to the execution of the law are wholly
removed. Judges Strong and Reed, who
were formerly the disseutiug minority,
now form with Judge Agnew the majority
of the Couit.
The previous opinion of Chief Justice
Woodward was published during the
campaign, and was about the most bitterly
partisan assaul-: on the Government which
saw the light even in that heated contest.
It went far to deny the power ot the
Government to coerce the Seceded States
into obedience, arrested the enforcement
of the conscription at a critical moment,
and more thou intimated to what leugths
in obstructing the war it author was
ready to go if elected Governor. But Jude
Woodward is not Governor, and .by the
resultsof thesameelection which destroyed
his political hopes, find himself in a
minoritv on the bench. x
fSy Reports from the Army of the
Potomac represent the greatest discontent
ani hopelessness of the cause to exist
in the Rebel lines. Our troops are iu
fine condition and spirits, aud the weather
excellent. Some stir on part of the enemy
have given rise to the belief that they
meditate a new movement.
CSL-The Senate has amended tho bill
ameuding the Enrollment act, by raising
the rate of commutation from 8300 to S 100.
An amendment offered by Mr. Wilson to
reduce the time of enlistments from three
to two years was rejected.
Kay Ex-Con grcssman Albert C. White,
of Indiana, ws, to-day, nominated by the
President to the Senate as Judge of the
District Court of that State, to supply the
vacancy made by the death of Judg
Smith.
