GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

the Governor delivered his message
81 the Legislature in extra session con
,cncd ut Des Moincs on the 81 inst.
lie says that when the Legislature
last adjourned it was the general belief
that :he strength Of the rebcllion was
broken, but since such has proved ~;
10 hc the case, certain legislation on III.
part Of the State is necessary; he says
that the provisions made for or sick
and wounded soldiers, and their return
home on fourlough, is,inadeqnate. that
ID" extraordinary expenses ofhis of'c.
have increased and wishes the same pre-
sid"d for. He saws, that the labors If
Tie ofiro Of the Adjutant General have
become SO great, as to make it neeesSar.
70 appoint al Assistant Adjutant Gen
who Shall net as Paymaster General.
lie recommends an increase of the pay
Of the Adjutant General; also that the
State provide for the payment Of the U.
5. Commissioners, who may visit our
soldiers for the purpose Of ascert aiming
who aud how many wish to have part
OF their dues paid them at their homes
md thus avoid the expense and risk Of
scndingit.
he requests tie Legislature to take
steps to secure within our State, our
proportion 100000 scree] Of the land
appropriated by the U. S. to those
States that may provide Agricultural
Colleges.
lie recommends that since 50 many
soldiers have left for tho war, that all
able bodied male residents, between
eighteen and sixty years Of age, be
liable to perform labor on the highways.
As it regard this recommendation Of
his, we think il sufficient for the law 10
compel only those whom it. grants the
privilege to use their own time or in
other words compelling minor to labor
on the highway, when the law says in
almost every other respect, that he is
not nan, in an act not entirely just.
lie recommends that Camp of In
strnction be established somewhere IN
tho State for the purpose Of receiving
recruits TO drill them ready for the scr.
vice IS fast rs our Iowa regiments be-
come thinncd in active service, and that
each county furnish her proportionatc
part Of recruits, who when drilled slall
go into some company from the county
furnishing. in order that they may be
among their friends and ncighbors.
A bounty To those soldiers who have
enlisted in the old regiments between
the 18th Of August and The first Of the
present month, is recommended by him.
lie also rccoinmends,hat those Of our
soldiers in the field who would have a
right to vote If at home be given that
privilege and that provisions be enacted
for carrying il into effect.
lie also recommends generating those
persona from draft, who entertain con
seientions and religious opinions against
bearing arms, upon the condition Of
