V. Concluded. In short, the Rebellion is already re duced to such narrow proportions that should it ever become a distinct Confed eration. accepted as such from weariness of war, the Confederacy thus created will not be born with the functions of life.—» Neither European recognition nor your own could give it a serious chance of du ration. It would end in a return to you. But .vc delight to believe the re-establish ment of the Union less distant. And, -in the presence of that prospect which thrills our hearts with joy, permit us, as your friends, to offor you some sincere advice The dangers of victory, you are aware, are not less than those of combat. We give you, therefore, our loyal, frank opinion, sure that in the main it will agree with your own, and feeling, also, that these com munications between us have an aim more serious than a simple exchange of words of sympathy. We hold it to be of the first importance that the cause of the war shall not survive the war; that your real foe, Slavery, shall not remain upon the field. We have of ten asked ourselves these last three years, why God permitted the prolongation of this blrtody struggle. Was it not thai ■ the real issue might present itself with j perfect clearness '! Conquering earlier, the Federal Government would, perhaps, have been led to make concessions, to enter anew upon the fatal path of compromise. J To-day all eyes, not willingly blind, sec j clearly. The New York riot, breaking i out at an appointed day to aid the invasion j of Lee, and falling instantly upon thenc I groin a way to show to every witness of j its cowardly ferocity what kind of spirit i •animated certain friends uf the South— the New York riot was a supreme warn- j ing to your country. Your line of action j is clearly traced. Ho long as any trace of Slavery remain, there will be a cause of i antagonism in the bosom of the Union. | There must be no longer any question of j Slavery. It must be so ordered and set- j tied as never to return. An amendment to the■ Constitution to this end must be pro- j posed and adopted before the return of the States. The condition of the free blacks must also be secured against the iniquities which they have so long endured. No more plans of colonization abroad, no more dis abling laws, no more inequality. Those whom you have armed, who fought so bravely before the walls of Port Hudson and Fort Wagner, can never be other than citizens. Leave the problem of the races to its own solution—the most natural so lutions arc always the best. Under the rule of the common law, the free blacks of the South and of the North will find their legitimate place in your society, of which ' they will become useful members, honor able and honored. In thus ordering in a definitive manner | all that relates to Slavery and the colored j race, you will have done more than is gen erally imagined for the lasting pacification of the South. What remains for you to do on this point may be stated in three words — Moderation, Generosity, Liberty. There can be no question, as you have often said, of an occupation of the South, of a conquest of the South, of reducing the Southern States to the condition of provinces where the conqueror will main tain his pirrisons and the public life will be suspended. Save in the districts yet ravaged by guerrillas and in the heart of which the Federal troops must finish their work, victory will bring everywhere with the re-establishment of the Union, there . establishment as promptly as possible of Constitutional rights. You hope, gentle men, that those whom you conquer to-dav will to-morrow meet you in debate, and you will accept iu all their truth the strug gle of the press, of the legislative hall, and of the ballot, which will replace the strife of the battle-field. Wc all feel it is much better that you should have to encounter difficulties fruit ful of liberty, than that you should seek for yourselves the deceitful advantages of dictatorial regime. To apply to the South an exceptional rule would be. alas, quite easy. It would be easy also to pronounce the death penalty, to outlaw, to exeeute confiscation bills; but in treading this path of vulgar tyranny you would sacrifice _ PiTT7T?M two things—your high renown in the pies out, a lasting union with the South in the future. But if, on the other hand, you show the world the novel B[>ectacle of victory with out reprisal", of liberty Htronp enough to survive civil war ; if your Constitution remain, and Slavery alone fall in such a .conflict; if on the morrow of the struggle the law remain supreme, if elections for the Senate and House of Representatives he again open as in the old time, if the representatives of the Southern States re appear at Washington, if taking the oath to be faithful to the Union and to support the modified Constitution they find them selves on a footing of perfect equality with the representatives*of the North, if it .be permitted to them to attack and to embarrass the Government, you will have won thsmost glorious of victories, and as sured to your country the best chance of prosperity and greatness. Accept, gentlemen, in the advice which wo tender to you, a proof of our esteem. It is not of every Government, it is not of every people that such things can be asked. Protracted civil wars tend to arbitrary cus toms, stir up passions and hates, anl at last engender a development of military power and irresponsible authority which generally hinders a return to contrdl, to free opinion and to the strict letter of the law. We honor tlw United States enough to believe that they will be capable of set tling us this, too, after so many other ex amples. The moderation which we hope for from you at home, Ave look for also from you abroad. Assuredly on the morrow of the submission of tha South thorewill not be wanting a class of persons eager to recall • to you wrongs, real or fancied, suffered at the hands of this or that power. Tlfey will point to your armies, disposable fleets. They will prove to you that a foreign war is perhaps the surest way to draw together the two sections so lately hostile. They will tell you that a common enmity, com mon dangers, are the cement needed to strengthen your shattered edifice. You will not believe them, gentlemen. ■ You wiJl feel that after these jars, it is j needful before all else to restore to Amcr-1 iea peace and liberty. You will not seek ! * I now adventures and thus lengthen the ' temptation of dictatorships, the peril of exceptional rule. You will fear a return to the aggressive i policy which with its invasions and turbn-1 lencc the influence of the South forced upon you. the day, when, to assure (lie ex-1 tension of Slavery, it awakened in yoilT 1 hearts a wicked covetousness and pushed 1 you almost to the violation of the law of j nations. Your glory will be to take' the opposite of those violent declarations, of these fillibustcring expeditions, of tho.-c unscrupulous ambitions. The temptations which a great army excitcs-are of the class most difficult to re press. May you. not hesitate to reduce your force after pcaco ! Not only your material prosperity but your very liberty j is involved in disarming, in a reduction of your expenses, and a return to the old idea of small armies and L.rge budgets. But wc do not deceive ourselves.— Your small armies, do what you may, will he large compared with those of three years ago. Your military education is completed ; you have replied but too well to those who smiled at the recital of your battles of 1861. You have learned but too quickly to face death and to kill, and what you have learned you will not un learn. You will not return to your former situation. # But while we do not expect again to see your effective force at ten thousand men. wc do hope that effective forces which arc now numbered at hundreds of thous ands will not long be witnessed on Amer ican soil. •111. Courage! You have before you one of the most noble works- the most sublime which can be accomplished here below—a work in the success of which we are as interested as yourselves—a work the success of which will be the honor and the consolation of our time. This generation will have seen nothing more grand than the Abolition of Slavery (in destroying it with you, you destroy it everywhere), and the energetic uprising of a people which in the midst of its grow ing prosperity was visibly sinking under the weight of the tyranny of the South, the complicity Tif the North, odious laws and compromises. Now, at the cost of immense saeriticbs, you have stood up-against the evil; you have chosen rather to pour out your blood and your dollars than to descend further the slope of degradation, where rich, uni ted, powerful, you were sure to lose that which is far nobler than wealth, or union, or power. Well! Europe begins to understand, willingly or unwillingly, what you have done.

But what matters it,ere the account be closed, prin ciples will stand for something, and con science, in all humart affairs, will have the last word. This, gentlemen, is what we would say l to you in the name of all who with us, and better than ourselves, defend your cause in Europe. Your worlshave cheered us ; may ours in turn cheer you ! You have yet to cross many a dark valley.— More than once the impossibility of suc cess will be demonstrated to you; more than once, in the face of some military check or political difficulty, the cry will be raised that all is lost. What matters it to you? Strengthen your cause 4 n ''y> by daily making it more just, and fear not: there is a God above. We love to contemplate in hope the no ble future which seems to stretch itself before you. The day you emerge at last j from the anguish of civil war, and you j will surely come out freed from the odious institution which corrupted your public i manners, and degraded your domestic as ] well as your foreign policy, that day your | whole country, South as well as North, | will enter upon a wholly ficw prosperity. !

Fellow Citizens of the Senate and House P of Representatives : Called by tha partiality of my fellow citizens to the office of Governor of Penn sylvania for another term. I appear before you to solemnly renew the prescribed ob ligation to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Stale of Pennsylvania, and to discharge the responsible trust confided to me with fidelity. When first summoned before you three years ago to assume the sacred duties of the Executive Office, the long gathering clouds of civil war wore about to break upon our devoted country. For years treason had been gathering in might; it had been appropriating to its fiendish lust more and more bountifully of the nation's honors; it had grown steadily bolder in its assumption of power, until it had won the tolerance, if not the sanction of a formidable element of popular strength, even in the confessedly loyal States. The election of a President in 1860, in strict conformity with the Constitution and the Laws, though not the causo, was deemed the fit occasion for an organized attempt to overthrow the whole fabric of our free institutions and plunge a nation of thirty millions of people into hopeless anarchy. The grave offense charged againtthe Pres ident elect, seemed alone to exist in his avowed fidelity to the Government, and his determined purpose to fulfil his solemn covenant to maintain inviolate the union of the States. When inaugurated he found States in open rebellion, disclaim ing allegiance to the Government, fraudu lently appropriating its property, insolent ly contemuing its authority. Treason was struggling for supremacy in every depart ment of the administrative power. In the Cabinet it feloniously disarmed us.— Our arsenals were robbed to enable the armios of crime to drench a continent in fraternal blood. Our coasts were left comparatively defenceless to fall au easy prey to traitors. Our navy was scattered upon distant seas, to render the Republic helpless for its own protection. Officers educated, commissioned and sworn to pro tect the Government against any foe, be came deserters. They defied Heaven in shameletss perjury, and with fratrieidal hands, drew their swords against the coun try of their allegiance. Arid when treas on had thus completed its preparations, this wanton and wicked war was lorced upon our loyal people. Never was str so causeless. The North had sought no sec tional triumph, invaded no rights, and in flicted no wrongs upon the South. It aim ed to preserve the Republic, not to des troy it; and even when rebellion present ed the sword as the arbiter, wc exhausted every effort consistent with the existence of our Government to avert the bloody drama of the last three years. The inso lent alternation presented by treasou of fatal dsimemberment or internecine war was met by generous efforts to avert the storm of death which threatened to fall; but the leaders of the shunned peace, unless they could glut their infern al ambition over the ruins of the.noblest and freest government ever devised by man. Three years of bloody, wasting war, and the horrible sacrifice of a quarter of a million lives, attest the desperation of their purpose to overthrow our liberties. Mourning and sorrow spread over our en tire nation, and defeat and desolation are the terrible trophies won by the traitor's hand. Our people have been sorely tried by disasters, but in the midst of the deep est gloom they have stood with unfalter ing devotion to the great cause of our common country, relying upon the ulti mate triumph of the right. They have proved equal to the stern duty, and wor thy of their rich inheritance of freedom. Their fidelity has been well rewarded. In God'k own good time he has asserted his avenging- power; and if this war is persisted in, they, the leaders of the re hellion, as has become evident, and shive ry and treason, the.fijuntain and stream' of discord and death, must soon share a com mon gTave. In this great struggle for our honored nationality, Pennsylvania has won immor tal fame. Despite the teaching of the faithless and the hesitation of the timid, she has promptly and generously met ev ery demand made upon her, whether to repel invasion or to fight the battles of the Union whenever and wherever her people were demand6d. Upon every field made historic and sacred by the valor of our troops, some martial youth of Pennsylvania have fallen. There is scarcely a hospital that has not been visited by our kind offi ces to the sick and wounded. There is not a Department in which brave men do not answer with pride to the name of our noble Stale, and while history endures, loyal hearts will turn with fellings of na tional pride to Gettysburg, where the com mon delivereuec of Pennsylvania and the Union will stand recorded in the unsur passed glory of that bloody field. I need hardly renew my pledge, that during the term of office on which I am about to enter, I will give my whole mor al and official power to the prosecution of this war, and in aiding the National Gov ernment in every.effort to secure the ear ly and complete success over our malig nant foes. •• For the preservation of our national life all things should bo subordi nated. It is the first, highest, and noblest duty of the citizen.' It is his protection in person, property, and all civil and re ligious privileges, and for its perpetuity in form and power, he owes all his efforts, his influence, his means and his life. To compromise with treason would be but to give it renewed existence, and enable it again to plunge us into another causeless war. In the destruction of the military power of the rebellion is alone the hope of peace ; for while armed rebels march over the soil of any State no real freedom can prevail, and no government authority consistent with the genius of our •free in stitutions, can properly operate. The people of every State are entitled undor the Constitution, to the protection of,the Govern und to give that pro tection fully and fairly the rebellion must bo disarmed and trodden in the dust. By these means, and these alone, can we have an enduring Union, prosperity and peace. As in the past, I will, in the future, in faithful obedience to the oath I have ta ken, spare no means, ajid withhold no power which can strengthen the Govern ment in this conflict. To the measures of the citizens chosen to admftiister the na tional Government adopted to promote our great cause, I will give my coruial approv al and earnest co-opcration. It is tho cause of constitutional liberty and law.— Powers which are essential to our common safety, should now be wisely and fearlessly administered ; and that executive would be faithless and held guilty before the world, who should fail to wield the might of the Government for its own preservance Tho details of my views on the measures which I recommend are contained iu my recent annual Message, and neod not here be repeated. I beg to return to the generous people of my native State my hearty thanks for their unfaltering support and continued confidence. They have sustained me amid many trying hours of official embar rassment. Among all those people, to none am I more indebted than to the sol diers of Pennsylvania, and I have pledged to these brave men toy untiring exertions in their behalf, and my most anxious cf- j forts for their future welfare, and 1 com mi-rW here, as I have frequently done be fore, those dependent upon them to the | fostering care of the State. I cannot close this address without an earnest prayer to the Most High that he will preserve, protect and guard over our beloved country—guiding with divine power and wisdom our Government, State and National; I appeal to my fellow citi zens here and elsewhere, in our existing embarrassments, to lay aside all partizan felling and unite in a hearty and earnest effort to support the common cause which involves the welfare ot us all. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representa tives, I piay you, in God's name, let us in this era in the history of the world, set an example of unity and concord in the sup port of all measures for the preservation of this great Republic. A. G. CDRTJN, Gov. VALUABLE "CHAW" OF TOBACCO.— A short time since two men, respectively named Lewis and Brown, robbed a fellew lodger, in Albany, o'.' 8-00 in gold.

The Escape of Morgan, The Richmond Dispatch, of the 12th, announces the arrival of Gen. Morgan in that city, and gives the report of cspeech made by him. in which he detailed at length the manner of his and his com rade's escape from the Ohio Penitentiary; ,! Everything was now ready to begin the work : so about the latter part of Oc tober they began to bore. All were busy —one making a rope ladder by tearingand twisting upstrij* ofbedtiek, another mak ing bowie-knives, and another twisting up towels. They labored perseveringly for several days, and after boringtlirongh nine thicknesses of brick placed edgewise, they began to wonder when they should reach the soft earth. Suddenly a brick fell in. j What could this mean? What infernal chamber had they reached t It was im mediately entered, and to their great as tonishment and joy, it proved to lie an air chamber extending the whole length of the row of cells. ; After twenty throe days of unremitting i labor, and getting through a granite wall I of six feet in thickness, they reached the sail. They tunneled up for some distance, aud light began to shine. This was the morning of the 26th day of November, 1803. The next night, at 12 o'clock, was determined on as the hour at which they i would attempt theii liberty. The evening came, aud the clouds began to gather.— I How they prayed for them to increase.— If rain should only begin, their chances j of detection would be. greatly lessened.— .! W hilo these thoughts were passing thro' ; their minds the keeper entered with alct i ter for Gen. Morgan. He opened it, and I what was his surprise, and, I may say, j wonder, to find it from a poor Irish wo i man of his acquaintance in Kcnlncky. i commencing," .My dear Ginral, I feel cer tain you arc going to try to git out of pris lon, but for your sake, don't you try it, my j dear Ginral You will only be taken pris ; oner agin, and made to suffer more than j you do now." Six, eight, ton o'clock came. How each pulse throbbed as they quietly awaited the approach of twelve ! It came—the senti nel passed his round—all well. After waiting a few moments to see if he intend ed to slip back, the signal was given—ail quietly slipped down into the air cham j ber. first stuffing their fl innel shirts and j placing them in bed as they were accus tomed to lie. As they movcdqiiietly alnng i through the dark recess to the terminus where they were to emerge from the earth, the General prepared to light 4 match.— | As the lurid glare fell upon thecountenan j ces a scene was presented which can never ;be forgotten. There were brava men, who had resolved to be free, j They were armed with bowie-knives made | out of case-knives. Life, iu their condi ! tion, was scarcely to be desired, and the moment for the desperate chance had ar rived. Suppose, as they emerged from the ground, that the dogshouldgive the alarm J —they could but die. But a few moments were sper.t in this kind of apprehension. The hour had ar rived. and yet thcycame. "Fortunately— i yes, providentially—the night had stid ! denly grown dark and rainy; the dogs bad retired to their kennels, and the sentinels i had taken refuge under shelter. The in ner wall by the aid of the rope ladder, was -wion scaled, and now the outer one had to be attempted. Capt. Taylor ("who/by the | by, is a nephew of old Zaek) being a i very active man. by the assistance of his j comrades reached the top of the gate, and 1 was enabled to get the rope Over the wall. When the top was gained, they found a. rope extend all around, which the Gener al immediately cut, as he suspected that it | might lead into the warden's room. ' This turned out to be correct. They had en tered the sentry box on the walland chang ed their clothes, and let themselves down the wall. In sliding down, the General skinned his hand very baity. and all were more or less bruised. Once down, they then separated, Taylor and She 1 too go'in one way, Ilcgersmith. Bennettand McGc another, and General Morgan and Capt. j Ilines i roceeded immediately toward the : depot. The General had, bypay'ngSlo in gold, succeeded in obtaining a paper which in -1 formed him of ,thc schedule time of the different roads. The clock strtlck one. j and he knew by hurrying he could reach the down train for Cincinnati. He got there just as the train was moving of. lie 1 at once lookod onto see if there were auv soldiers on board, and, espied a Union o.Tr | cer he boldly walked up and took a sea: ' beside tim. He remarked to him that. | l: as the night was damp and chilly, per haps he would join him in a drink." He did so, and the party soon became very agreeable to each other. The cars, in crossing the Scioto, have to pass within a short distance of the Penitentiary. As they passed, the officer remarked, 'There's •h'; hotel at which Morgan jiud hisylficc-ra
