t f average of four hundred dollars, it is be- j lieved that it can be demonstrated that the people of Pennsylvania have thu3 been robbed of more than twelve millions of dollars during the past year. This esti mate does not include the money fraudu lently taken from men who have actually jone into the service. The continuance of these monstrous and unparalleled abuses cannot be tolera ted. Certainly more men are required to aid our gallar.t soldiers in the Sehi in crushing this rebellion, and every consideration of patriotism and of regard for our brothers who are nowiu the face of the enemy, obliges us to spare no oHfort to raise the necessary force. Id June last I gave letters to a commit tee of the prison society of Philadelphia, requesting that the members of the coinmitteo might be allowed to visit and exauiinc the prisons and poor-houses throughout the votunionwealth. I trans mit with this communication a copy of the report made to me by the society of the results of their labors, and commend the eame to your attention, with a view to the adoption of proper measures tojreform the abuses which have been found to exist. In connection with this subject, I again call your attention to the expediency of providing for the reception in the peniten tiaries, of persons convicted of murder in the first degree, and who may be pardoned on condition of serving a limited time therein. It has become a custom that an incoming Governor should not issue a warrant of execution in coses left unacted on by his predecessor, and it not unfre quently happens that even in cases which are recent, while some punishment should be inflicted, that of death may appear- to the Executive to be too severe. The result is that there are at this time in the various prisons, some eighteen or twenty persons under sentence of death, and who may lie there for an indefinite period of time. The vast amount of additional labor which has been imposed upon the Secre tary of the Commonwealth by the existing state of affairs, renders it absolutely neces sary that the clerical forco of bis depart ment should be increased. The making out of commissions for our largo. army of volunteers in the field, and the preparation of election blanks required by law to be eent to the army the receipt, filing and recording of the returns of theoldiers' -votes the enrollment of the yearly increasing number of acts of Assembly, and of charters obtained uuder general laws and the making-out of letters patent for them all these, together with the previous heavy duties of the o5cc form an aggregate, the weight of which must ultimately break down his few subordin ates, diligent, faithful and enduring as they are. I recommend, therefore, that provision be promptly made to meet the necessities of this case. It is a subject of just congratulation that notwithstanding the distracted con dition of the country, our system of com mon schools continues to flourish. The report of the Superintendent, which I herewith transmit, shows that there has been an increase of scholars during the past year. It is important to secure a3 teachers a sufficient number of men of suitable education and ability, and with a view to this object, I suggest for your consideration the expediency of making out of the school fund itself some provision for the support ot such teachers as shall after a giren term of service become eupcrannuated or disabled while in the performance or their auties. Of the lund placed in my hands by the acts of the 16th May, lbUl, and of the 4th of May, 1SG4, and to be appropriated in my judgment iu mililar' service, I have expended in the last year cb,U4 bb in support of the agency at Washington up until the oUth or .May last, tor my person al staff and other military service, an account of which is settled in the office of the Auditor General. x"To similar appropriation will be requir ed at this session. A bill was introduced and passed the House at the la3t session of the Legislature providing for the appointment .of a com mission to ascertain the damages done in the counties of Jiedlbrd, Fulton, Franklin, Cumberland, Yoik and Adams, by the rebel army in 1SG3, which failed in the Senate for want of time. I commend to your consideration the propriety ot the passage of such a bill during the present session. It is just to the people of these counties who have suffered, as well as to the Government, that these damages should be fairly ascertained and the evidence perpetuated, whatever may be the view to be taken on future consideration by the United States or State Government as to the propriety of paying such clai:n3. Major General Hancock has been au thorized by the War Department to raise a corps of veterans, to be called the First Corps. One of the regulations U that on application by the Governor of any State, recruiting officers will be designated for such State. I have been requested by Gen. Hancock to make such application, but have hitherto declined to comply with the request. It appears to me that the families of men raised on the plan adopted by the War Department would probably not be entitled to tUc relief provided by our own laws for the families of volun teers. I have iuquired of (Jen. Hancock whether the proposed corps U to form jart of the regular army or of the volunteer force, and if tho latter, ur.der what act of Congress it is to be raised. lie has Teterred that communication to the War Department, from which I have as yet received no answer to it. The following letters have passed be tween General Hancock and myself on this subject : Pennsylvaxia Executive Chamber, IIarrisccrg, Fa., Dec. 29, 1804. General: I received your letter at the moment of my departure for Philadelphia on Monday last. I returned this morning, and hasten to reply. Having no knowledge of the organization of the corps you are to command than what appears in the newspapers and orders, I will be obliged if you will inform me if it is to be regarded as a part of the regular army of the United States or as part of the volunteer ser vice. If it is part of the army of the United States, I certainly have no connection with it, as Governor of the State. If it is organized as volunteers, bo pleased to inform me under what act of Congress. I need not sav. General, that I would he most happy to do all in my power personally and officially to raise a force to be command ed by you. Can we not raise you two or three regiments in Pennsylvania, in the usual man ner and according to the act of Congress, for your corps ? Of course, I would consult you in the selection of officers, and only commis sion where you approved. I cannot understand tho importance of my asking that persons be sent to Pennsylvania to induce veterans to go to the District of Columbia to enlist. I certainly will do noth ing to embarrass tho plan proposed. we have benefits, by general and special legislation, in Pennsylvania, which attach to tho volunteer and hi3 family. While I will do nothing to deter the veterans of the State from e&tering your corps, I hesitate to con nect myself with a mode of enlistment which may deprive them of such benefits, unless it ia my duty under the law. A. G. CURTIN. JIoj.-Gen. Wixfield S. Haxcock. IIeadqcabters First CoRrs, 1 "Washington-, D. C, Dec. 31, 18G4. To his Excellency lion. A. G. Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania : Sir : I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 29th inst., and have referred the same to the War Department. I thank you for your kind ex pression of personal good will, and regret that there should be any occasion for hesita tion on your part to lend your official influ ence, as Governor, to the raising of the corps as proposed by the War Department. It is not within my province, perhaps, to discuss the plan of organization, as I am act ing under the direct orders of tho War De partment, and my own views, therefore, are of no practical moment. I may say, however, that I have no knowledge of the organization other than what I hare derived from the or ders and circulars of which I mailed you offi cial copies December 5th. I cannot see how volunteers for this corp3 from your State lose any ot the advantages attaching to those for other organizations. They are credited to the localities where they or their families are domiciled, and count on the quota of your State. It should be borne in mind that this is an effort to get men into service who arc not subject to a draft. I have the honor to remain, very respect fully, your obedient servant, WINFIELD S. HANCOCK, The only act of Congress for raising volunteers that I am aware of, requires that the field and line officers shall be commissioned by the Governors of the several States. The men in this corps are not to be formed into organizations of the respective States, and it is proposed that its oScers shall be appointed by the gen eral government. I know of no act of Congress or of Assembly under which men so raised will be entitled to pensions, or their families to benefits from the United Slates or State Government. In addition, I will observe that without any feeling of jealousy, I am still not ready to participate actively in transferring to the United States illegally tho right of appointment vested in tho State, and which the State authorities can exercise with more discrim ination by reason of . having a greater familiarity with the merits of tho citizens of their own State, than the United-States authorities can possiblv have. I will transmit any further communication that I may receive on this subject. It will be perceived by reference to the correspond ence, that I have offered to raise, in the manner provided by law, two or three regiments ot veterans lor Hancock s Corps. My desire is to assist the Government in every legal mode in raising men, and especially to facilitate an officer a native Ptnnsylvanian so distinguished as Gen eral Hancock, in his efforts to organize a new corps. I shall throw no obstacles in his way on the present occasion, but I cannot, certain ly, be expected to invite a violation of law in carrying out a plan which sacrifices the rights of the State under existing laws, and would leave the men unprotected by them so far as concerns future provis ion for their comfort and that ot their families. I will further observe that it appears by the report of the Adjutant General, here with transmitted, that the State, under the fcystem established by law, has put into' the military service of the United States since the commencement of the war, the following number of men, viz: Troops sent into service during 18G1. Organizations for three years' term 9,G7 Organizations for one hundred days' term 7,G75 Organizations for one year term 16.094 Volunteer recruits 26,567 Drafted men and substitutes 10,651 Recruits for regular army 2,974 lie-enlistments of Pennsylvania Volunteers : Infantry 13,862 Cavalry 2,834 Artillery 799 Accredited to other States 389 17,870 91,704 Troops sent into the service of the United States since the commencement of the rebellion, inclu ding the ninety days' militia in the departments of the Monongahela and Susquehanna in 1863 ; During the year 1861 130,534 do do 1802 71,100 do do 1863 43,046 do do 1864 73,828 Ite-eit'istment of Pennsylvania volun teer?,,,,, 17,876 The twenty-five thousand militia of 1862 are not included in this statement. I call the attention of the Legislature to the report of the Surveyor General,1 herewith presented, and commend the suggestions made by that officer to your consideration. " This message i3 accompanied by full reports of all tho military departments. They exhibk the large amount of service performed during the past year, and con tain a full history of all the military operations of the State. Many valuable recommendations are made in them to promote tho efficiency of our volunteers, and the comfort of the sick and wounded, which I commend. to your earnest and immediate attention. It affords me great atisfaction to bear my testimony to the ability, diligence and fidelity of all the officers in these several departments. Before closing this message I desiro to advert to the delay which has sometimes occurred in the passage of the general appropriation bill. It' is necessary that this bill should become a law, as otherwise the action of Government would be stopped. To delay its presentation to the Executive as was done at the last regular session till a late hour of tho night be fore the morning fixed for the final adjournment is to deprive the people of their right to have all bills submitted to the revision of the Legislature before becoming laws, in case the Executive should not approve them. If there bad been time, Ishould probably have returned the appropriation bill of last year for such revision, as when I had the opportunity of deliberately examining it, I found provis ions vfhich I could not have approved but that opportunity was denied me before tho bill had become a law, and in fact, as the Legislature was on the point of ad journment, the only question presented to me was whether that bill should become & law without amendment or the necessities of the government remain unprovided for. The gallantry of our soldiers in the field still sheds lustre on the Commonwealth, and that their merit is appreciated by a generous people is shown by the continued and cheerful liberality with which the men and women of the State contribute of their means for their comfort and welfare. May the blessing of God be on those brave men who have stood by the country thro' the dark hour3 of her trial. A. G. CURTIS.

RIGHT Oil WROISG. WHEN RIGHT, TO BE KEPT RIGHT, WHEN WHO NO, TO BE PUT BIGHT. TIIURSDAY:::::::::::::::::JANUARY 12. Our Sew Terms. In consequence of the extraordinary advance in price of all the materials en tering into the composition of a newspa paper, including white paper, ink, labor, &c., we are compelled, to save ourself from serious financial loss, to increase the price of subscription to and advertising in The AlleyJicinian. All the newspapers in the county, and indeed throughout the entire country, have already so increased their rates, and we ought to have done the same two years ago to make the two end3 of The JUleghanian meet. But we refrained from changing our term.3 in the hope that the high price of paper, ink, &c, would prove only temporary that it would last but a brief season, and then resume its accustomed level. This hope has proved fallacious, and we have lost money by ad hering to it as long as we have already done ; so nothing remains unto us, as a provident man, but to recognize these high prices a? a permaneney, and to ac commodate ourself as best we can to a state of affairs most intimately affecting our business relations. When our readers recollect that at the breaking out of the war we could buy a bundle of white paper for $4.25, it costing now in the neighborhood of $11.00, and that everything else used in a printing office has advanced in price iu a like ratio, they will not be surprised that we have concluded to bring forward our terms to something like conformity with the en hanced cost of production. On thecon- trary, the only wonder with them vill be that, while we have our hand in, we do not increasa our terms one hundred per cent, more than we have done, which, ta king our terms at the beginning of the war as a fair standard, would be perfectly justifiable under existing circumstances. We will give these new terms a fair trial : if they prove adequate to hoover us from loss, we will adhere to them iu the future ; if they prove inadequate, we will still further advance them ; and just as printing materials recede in price, so will our terms recede toward the old, cheap standard. YTe desiro to continue the publication of The Alleghanian. A Union newspaper at tho county-seat of tho county is an in dispensable necessity. We do not expect to mako money out of the undertaking, but at the same time we cannot consent to lose much by it. The burden must be borne in part by our friends. With everything we use, eat and wear increased in price two, three, four, and five hundred per cent, within the past two years, our friends cannot complain of our slight advance as to terms. Especially can they not consistently complain seeing that they make two, three and four times greater wages now than they did two years ago, and that they are, per conse quence, better able to pay $2.50 a year subscription now than they were to pay $1.50 then. Should any of our friends and subscribers, however, think our terms exorbitant and uncalled-for, they are at liberty to put themselves outside the di rect influence of the fame by squaring their respective accounts and ceasing to bo our friends and subscribers.

On and after January 12, 18C5, The Alle ghanian will be published at the following rates, viz : Per annum, payable in advance, $2.50 If not paid within six months, 2.J5 If not paid till the end of the year, 3.00 Advertisement will be inserted at the fol lowing rates, viz : Transient advertising, per sq., 12 lines, $1.50 Each subsequent insertion, " 50 Auditor's Notices, each, 2.00 Administrators and Executors Notices, 2.50 Estray Notices, 3 mos. 8 lines, or less, $2.50 1 square, 12 lines, 3.50 2 squares, 24 lines, e 6.00 3 squares, 3G lines, 8.00 Fourth column, 8.00 Third column, 10.00 Half column, 12.00 Column. - 20.00 Professional or Business Cards, not ex ceeding 8 lines, with paper, one year, 8.00 Contracts for subscription and adver tising for a specified time existing prior to this dalo will be filled at tho old rates; but all new contracts will be charged in con formity with the new rates. 1.50 C mos. 1 2 mos. $4.00 $6.00 6.00 10.00 10.00 18.00 12.00 20.00 12.00 20.00 15.00 25.00 20.00 S0.00 30.00 50.00 Tlie Supplemental Draft.
