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.

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

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.

Dialling to JLiegin tbe 15tli

Washington, Dec. 20, 18C4.
By the President cf the United States A Proc
lamation. Whereas, by the act approved July 4,
1864, entitled "An act further to regnlate
and provide for the enrolling and calling
out the national forces, and for other pur
poses," it is provided that the President
of the United States may at his discretion
at any time hereafter call for any number
of men as volunteers for the respective
terms of one, two or three years for mili
tary service, and that in case the quota cr
any part thereof oi any town, township,
ward of a city, preoiact, or election dis
trict, or of a county not so subdivided,
shall not be filled within the space of fifty
days after 6uch call, then the President
shall immediately order a draft for one
year, to fill such quotas cr any part thereof
which may be unfilled ;
And whereas, by the credits allowed in
accordance with the act of Congress on
the call for five hundred thousand men,
made July 18, 1SG4, the number of men
to be obtained under that call wa3 reduced
to 280,000 men :
And whereas, the operations of the en
emy in certain States have rendered it
impracticable to procure from them their
full quotas ot troops, uudei the said call j
And whereas, from the foregoing causes
but 250,000 men have been put into the
army, navy, and marine corps under said
call of July 18, 18G4, leaving a deficiency
. t . li r rv rrn
on mat can ot sov.vvv :
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States of America,
in order to supply the aforesaid deficiencv,
and to provide for casualties in the mili
tary and naval service ot the United
States, do issue this my call for Three
Hundred Thousand Volunteers, to serve
one, two, or three years. The quotas of
the States, districts and sub-districts un
der this call will be assigned by the v ar
Department turough the JJureau of the
Provost Marshal General of the United
States, and in case the quota or any part
thereof ot any town, township, ward of a
city, precinct, or election district, or of a
county not so subdivided, shall not be
filled before the loth day ot February,
1865, then a draft shall be made to fill
such quotas, or any part thereof, under
this call, which may be unfilled on the
15th day of February, 1865.
In testimony whereof I have herewith
set my hand and caused. the seal of the
fL. S. United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 19th
'day o December, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty

By the President :
Wm. II. Seward, Secretary of State.
JCifln conformity with the recommen
dation of the Governor, a joint committee
of both houses of the Pennsylvania Legis
lature has been appointed, to confer with
the War Department to the end of obtain
ing a reduction of the excessive quota
imposed upon the State under the late
call for troops.

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.

In order to secure the assistance and co
operation of the people in the endeavor n
keep the enrollment list continually correct,
the Enrolling Board has been directed to Lava
copies of said list kept open to the examina
tion of the public at all proper times, and
ehiill give public notice th::t anj- person uaj
appear before the Board and have any name
stricken off the list, if he can shew, to the
satisfaction of the Board, that tLe person
named is not properlv enrol. ed, on account
of
1. Alienage ;
2. Nou-resiclence ;
o. Over age ;
4. Permanent physical disability, of fuch
degree a to render the person n-jt a proper
subject for enrollment under tho laT ucd
Regulations ;
5. Haing served in the military or naval
service two year3 during the present war, acd
been honorably discharged.
Especially civil oSicers, clergymen, and all
prominent citizens are invited to appear r.t til
times before the Board to point out errors ia
the lists, and to give such information in their
possession as may aid ia the correction and
revision thereof.
They should understand that it is plainly
for the interest of each sub-district to have
stricktn from the lists all names improperly
eurolied, because an excess of names increases
the quota called for from each sub-district;
and that it is equally for the interest of each
person enrolled in a given snb-distiict, to
place upon the lists all persons in the sub
district liable to do military duty, because tha
greater the number to be drawn from, the less
the chance thai any particular individual will
be drawn. It is the personal interest of everj
enrolled man that the quo:a iu which he i
concerned shall not be made too bire, and
that his own chances for draft shall not be
unjustly increased ; both these objects will te
attained if all parties will aid ia striking oat
the wrong names and putting in lhe right
ones. Especially i3 this the interest of thes
drafted men who bv putting in substitutes
themselves liable to" draft, have secured ex
