employers and their workmen' are due to the prevalence of this system. That eveil man, for a fair day's, labor, should receive fair wages, is but the dictate of com mon honesty; and while it would be most unwise for the state to interfere at all with the rate•of wages, it is in my judgnient incumbent on her to protect her laboring population by requirinp.... that whatever may be-the wages stipul l ated, they shall be so paid that the recipient may pur chase necessaries for himself and family where they can be had best and cheapest. I do most earnestly reconunend this sub ject to the Legislature. • I believe that the several charitubleia stitutions to which the Legislature has been_ accustomed to grant aid, have been well managed during the past year. The Wyoming Canal is still in the hands of the receiver. Certain creditors of the company having instituted pro ceedings in the Supreme Court for selling the canal under the Mortiage, the Attor ney General has intervened in the suit.to oppose the making of a decree of sale.-- No decree has been made, and the pro- I ceedings are yet pending. Mealiwhile, it being alleged that the subscribers and stockholders have paid' up but a small ' , part of the nominal capital of.the,compa uy, an information has been filled in the supreme Court by the Attorney General, to compel them to.,pay up the capital, or such charges and assessments as may be necessary to extinguish -I the debt due to the Commonwealth. 'this preeeeding is alio still pending. - It is understood that the gross receipts of the canal during the last season have been about one hundred,! and thirty thousand dollars and 'the' an- I bunt interest on themortgage thou-1 mind dollars. In pursuance of a joint resolution patsed 11th April, 1562, the Attorney'' General has instituted proceeding on the proper • Cashier's bonds, to recover the thouey due to the Commonwealth by the Bank•of Commerce at Erie, and I have employed John H. Walker, Esq., as spe cial counsel for the Commonwealth; in ' the prosecution of the officers of the bank is the Court of Quarter Sessions of - Erie county.. By the act of 29th of March, 1813, it vas provided that citizens absent from home in sewn.' military service, might exercise their right of suffrage as if they were present at the usual places of elec. tier'. This act was substantially reenact-; ed in the general electionlaw — piiise - d the '2d of July, 1839._ , The Supremeil Court has recently decided' that by reason) of a phrase in the constitutional amend-, inenta of 1838, this provision has become: unconstitutional. sent' , Pennsylvania has to the service about two hundred thous•- and citizens, who, by this decision, are disfranchised. TLis seems to -- be hard measure that men who testify their deco'. non to the country by going to the field should therebytlose the most inestimable right of a citizen. I recommend that the necessary steps-be forthwith commenced to amend the constitution, so as to give' the right of suffrage to the citizens who are thus excluded; I cannot dose tbis message without tpeahing,, of the uuhrolten• loyalty, and spirit of the freemen of Penn'sylvania.-,- They feel that on the preservation of the Union and the suppression cf the most causeless causeless,and wicked rebellion which his tory records, depend honor, the interests and the whole future welfare of the Coin monwealth. They will never tolerate schemes for destroying the Government of the United States, or forming'seperate Confederacies, or any other schemes' for creating general confusion and ruin, and aiding and comfortingthe traitors who, ore in arms against their country. This State has.furnishei more men for the defence of our institutions, and has lost more by the'caanalities of war, than .any other State. She bas given her blood and treasure freely, and is ready to give as much more of both as may be needful. Her people intend that by the blessing- of God, this . rebellion shall be suppressed, and will not be turned from their purpose by the wiles. of inasked,en ,emies Or the vacillations of feeble friends. On the contrary they will, (us is their right,) insist that competent Integi',ity, Parnestness, Intellect and Vigor shall be employed in the public service,' to pre serve the Government, and to maintain the unity of the country.: - A:. G. CU UTIN. 'Harrisburg, Jan 7, 1863. Only about 200 of the Anderson Troop took part in the Murfreesboro fight; , the main portion, about 500, having inuti bled, and would not go under fire. 'This troop was principally rent uited at Philad. The gallant 200 lost two good officers, Majs. Rosengarten and Ward, and Sever al won. Parson Brownlow writes : The "East Tennesseans are perfectly delighted with the idea of going under - Roseanne, and of his leading them into East Teanesece I And as they approach that country, I ad- vise all secessionists who have not made their peace with God to leave for parts ukuown.". The Richmond Examiner mournfully acknowledges the utter defeat of the Reb els at Murfreesboro,. and says that East Tennessee is laid open to Rosecrans, and, should he enter it, 200,000,n2en would be required to drive law out. Three hundred and eighty-s h ia thous and hogs have been packed at 9inciunati, thus far. Tho Gazette thinks the num ber for the season will reach about half a million, and larger than any previous y gar. A New South Side View. • It is' cheering! to discover even a glim mer of the light! of sound sense shining out from the darkness of the2slave regien. - gx•Governor Hicks who has recently been appointed tiS U. S. Senator in place' of. Mr. Ifearee, deceased, is reported to have recently expressed the opinion, very decidedly, that 'there can be no peace where there is slavery. The Camblidge liztel*encer, published at the place where Gen. Hicks' resides, reports his opinions as recently expressed. We extract the following from the able article in the lit telligeyzcer : i It must be clear to any ordinary intel ligence that, whatever May have been the aspirapons of the leaders Of the Rebellion for position and. power, they never could have plunged the people of the South into this diabolical Rebellion but for the institution of Slavery... It is true that, Slavery may have been the mere pretext, but it was a sure and successful pretext. I It secured the inauguration of the predent,' Rebellion. And' not only so, but: it is i . now the • greatest stre - rigth,of the Rebellion. By the labor, of the slaves, the Rebels aro enabled WI The masters can fight ail their long, if their, slaves furnish them With food. ,When the slaves ep&se to do the master must cease to fight. A blow, then, at the labor of the Rebels, Will be a blow at the heart of the Rebell ion: With this view of the case, no true! Uniolaist would l arrest the arm that would strike the deathblow to Slavery. , - 4lts I death will be the death of the Rehellipn ; and the death of the Rebellion j be ;the life of ; the nation. Thousands' of our best-citizens .have died is the ef fort to suppress the Rebellion. There! must be an end to this slaughter. We 'spare the lives of our brethren. Wel must saike the Rebels at their strong I point. Slavery is their strength. Then let slavery fall ! In this way, we shall: save the lives of thousands of our breth ren in lhe field.' "The events of each day induce us to believe that Shivery u:ust fall with the Rebellion; or, eve should rather hare said, the Rebellion utust fall with Sla very. It becowos mere and more appar ent that Slavery roust be. destroyed, to save the Union, and secure peace to the nation. In tltis view, -we are happy to be sustained by. so distinguished a patriot as es-Gov. theirs. Only a few days since he renta3rked Within our hearing, that, Ti'e cum never (race- a stable Government and a peacelid Union, as-long as Sla, very exists in the country.' Such is the intelligent view of that enlightened statesman. And it cannot be questioned that current events sustain his opinion.": Tom Thumb's Marriage to little Lavi nia Warren, 'as invented, ordered pre-,. scribed, and engineered by the all-pent: vading Barnum, is officially announced to, take place on the 10th of next month, in' Nevi - York, Gorgeous cards of invita tion will lie issued to local aristocracy and to the friends and relatives of the parties; admitting them to the sanctuary, and al so to the subsequent "reception" of the •happy pair at ono of the hotels.

The New Yak Herald in one of its ti• rides against la W, liberty and order, inti mates that Nets York and Nett , Jersey are about to asSuinc dictatorial power in the control of ?the national government. This is equal to the licruld's suggestion to make 'McClellan military dictator. It is a fact not generally known to.the pub lic, but still incontrovertible, that the ea• itorial columns . of the New York Herald are controlled entirely by unnaturaliz4 :Englishmen. This accounts for the bit ter fulminations which are so persistently put forth in the columns of the Herald, to einbarrass the operations of the war to crush the rebellion. Englishmen, with few exceptions; bate the Union, and by the labors of this class the New York Herald lies bedome one of the most dim ovrous enemies with which loyal Men L e ave to contend in this struggle.

The i "'WHAT B.ECOXES OF ALL THE CHANGE?"—This question,so ofteri asked Lind so seldom satisfactorily answered,the Lancaster 'Express now settles beyond cavil, at least to the amount of $50,000. iteceiitly Abram Hershey, an .old bache lor residing in West Heraptield township, 6 that county, departed thiS life, but, like other accumulators of that the•tlove of Which is the root of all evil, had to leave his worldly wealth behind. The heirs of the deceased, in overhauling his effects discovered, stowed away in match boxes, night caps, old stockings, and all sorts of queer repositories, over fifty thousand dollars in gold and silver. They depos ited it in the Lancaster County Bank, the trausfer employing several carriages. ,The entire pile amounted t 0 .530,000 iu 'gold and over 620,000 in silver. This has of course, been the accumulation of years. When the deceased got a bank :note, he. lost no time iu going to the bank to demand its equivalent in specie, which he carefully stowed away. He was no doubt afraid to trust the banks during life, but, alas ! the vanity of human pre-: caution, the banks bccanie the custodi alis of it at last !

BOSTON, Jan. 13.—Gen, Butler 4cl a Great and most i enthusiastio reception today. The route of the precession was lined with multitudes of people, and Fan (Mil Ball was overflowing. He spoke with great feeling and emotion. Be an nounced his. readiness to go wherever . his duty called him. In his judgment' we had exhausted conciliation, and there should be no peace till the- rebels were content to receive it as part of the Union. His plan for paying the war debt was the introduction of free labor at the South; whereby labor would become honorable, and by which more abundant crops of cotton could be raised with profit, at less cost than by slave labor. Cotton could, be raised with profit at less than ton cents. per pound. Put a ten per cent tax per pound for it. We are now paying fifty to sixty cents a pound upon cotton, and. we have an internal revenue from this source alone enough to pay the interest on a war debt twice as largo- as that we now have. Besides,Enoland and France, who have done so much to prolong this war, would thus be obliged to pay a - jarge proportion *of the debt. EMAN. CIPATION IN MISSOLIII.T.—Con gmis moves oaward intrepidly .in the great work of consolidating and defending the nationality and freedom of the repub lic, which it began so vigorously at the opening of the session. Already, since it resumed work this winter, it has ad mitted:West Virginia as a State, and the House has passed finally the bill to extend the requisite financial'aid to enable Mis sourilo get rid of slavery forever. This is one _of the most important acts ever passed, by Congress, and will have the effect, to settle the question, as regards Missouri, past all doubts—the Governor and Legislature cf that State being em phatically in favor of emancipation immediately. We entertain no doubt that this act will be promptly passed by the Senate and be signed by the President. Missouri is now fully embarked on the great experiment of emancipation. Her fortunes henceforth are no more identified with the south, but with those of the free north, with whose institutions and pros perity she becomes blerided. This meas ure is in the interest of nationality, and we trust that similar bills may soon be passed to enable West Virginia and all the other border slave states to get rid of the burthen of slavery. Let us show the world that we are determined to be one . nation forever, and to consolidate . our nationality against all future dangers. The bill authorizing the issue• of one hundred millions in legal•tender notes has been signed, and is•now a law. The notes are particularly for the pay of the army. James W.
