AN INcIDENT.-The Dunkirk Union
relates the following incident which occur
red during the passage of the Michigan
regiment through that village:
Among the crowd collected TO wit
ness the Decentralization, were number of
iadies, one of whom observed soldier who
appeared to be laboring under n severe
infrmity. His story was but repetition
of the thousand aud one casualties Incl
dent 10 the life of soldier. His foot
was badly bruised while shifting baggage,
on learning which the lady in question
repaired TO her residence, procured band
ages and proper application, and dressed
the wound as best she could. While this
little act was only one of kindness which
should DC bestowed under any circum-
stance, it called forth q resposc which
showed that its recipient was worthy its
bestowment. Thanking the lady, with
tears in his eyes, the soldier said, You
done IL just as my sister would.'

By SAMUEL j. ROW
Gov. CURTIN's MESSAGE.

We publish on the first page of to-day's pa
per, Gov. Curtin's Special Message to the
Legislature, recommending the better organi-
zing OF the Pennsylvania Militia. 1t is an
able State paper--is mild, but at the same time
firm in its tone, and shows that the Executive
Is prepared to meet promptly any contingency
that may arise in the present distracted con-
dition of the country. The Governor is man
of peace, but does not hesitate to uphold
promptly the honor of the State when danger
threatens and for this he cannot be too high
ly commended. In referring to the Message,
and the subject therein discussed, the Phila-
delphia Daily Ne,cs says: ssThe Message of
Gov. Curtin has attracted profound attention.
If there were no attempt at revolution made
in any part Of the country, the condition Of
the militia Of the State would well deserve the
attention Of the Legislature, as every one who
has read the last report of the Adjutant Cen
oral will readily admit and when it is remem-
bered that a little cloud of war has been rising
in our Southern horizon for some months
past, the propriety of reminding the Iaw-ma-
kers of the Commonwealth of the wretched
condition of the States defences, becomes
quite apparent. The attempt of a number of
ambitious and uneasy politicians TO disrupt
the Union, and plunge us into the horrors of
a civil war, necessarily excites alarm in so
-loving.a community as are the people
of fPennsylvania; and while we live in the
earnest hope that American soil may never be
stained with fraternal blood, they recognize
the importance of keeping the military power
of the State in condition to defend the homes
of the people in any emergency which may
arise. The Gulf States have been, technical
", in state of war with the National Gov
ernment for months past, and it is evident
that the present condition OF things cannot
continue much longer. A spark may put our
Southern border in blaze at any moment,
and our State touching the boundary which
separates the free States from those in which
slavery exists, would, in case OF conflict be-
tween the sections, be more exposed than any
other. Under such circumstances it would be
scarcely less than criminal neglect, on the
part of the State Executive, to permit the Leg
islature to adjourn without making any pro-
vision for defence. The people of Pennsyl-
vania desire no war, and least of all do they
wish to see an internecine contest between
citizens of our country; but they are sick of
the humiiating and ruinous position in which
reckless men have placed the country, and
desire to see something like prompt action on
the part Of the National Government. They
love peace, but they love the Constitution and
the Union more; and should crisis come up
on us, it will be found that our State has the
courage and energy sufficient al least to de-
fend itself. There can be no doubt that the
Governor and the Legislature will be sustain
ed by the people in, any judicious measures
for defence which may seem needed.o

SMALL NoTEs.-An effort is being made to
induce the Legislature of this State to pass a
bill empowering the banks to issue notes of a
less denomination than five dollars. Whether
this is prudent or no, we will not say. No
doubt, much difference opinion exists as to
the policy of such privilege. But, one thing
is certain, that a great deal of trash is afloat,
belonging to this State and elsewhere. which
we could we'll do without. Whether the issu-
ing of small notes by our Pennsylvania banks
would give us more reliable currency, is a
question: We believe, however, that the peo-
pie can get along without them.
