provision existed BY which the Secretary
of State could audit the claims for salary
of these clerks. l have since that time,
been comp eiled to pay these employees
from a few thousand dollars that remained
subject to my draft of the $4,000 fund
created Tor general war purposes, by chap
tiers 239 and 307, of the Laws of 1861.
IhIs money, however, is nearly all eXhaus
ted, while the force of clerks in the Exec
utlve ofhce and in that of the Adiutant
General has necessarily TO be, and contin-
ues to be, pretty large under the present
ana prospective great pressure OF business.
Provision should therefore be made for
the payment of these employe $.
You have assembled here at a dark
hour IN the history of our country; the
recent reverses of our arms cast a gloom
upon every loyal countenance: the Union
army IN the East has struggled for over
year, our troops have fought nobly-and
many loyal and brave soul has expired
upon the battle field We deemed our
selves victorious but short time ago;
suddenly all is changed, our army obliged
to retreat our National Capital again i.
danger, the enemys army in Maryland
All this, however, should not make us de-
spond, but only kindle anew the fire of
new exertions and new energy.
The fortunesaof war are not always on
the same side. We have been too conf
dent in the slunberins power of tie north;
cons cious OF our strength we have not
called it into action soou enough. But the
people of the loyal states have with Won
derful alacriiy responded to the recent
calls of the government for 100000 more
men. They are now being hurried to the
endangered points, and while the traitor
Gus south has exhausted its resources Of
men, we can send, If necessary, another
100000 oidiers to overwhelm and crush
the rebellion. Let the People Of the loval
states remain united and true to our flag,
our government and our constitution and
we shall not be obliged to see dishohor-
able peace and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the

The LEGIsLArURE.-We have received
nothing to indicate the course that viii be
taken by the Legislature in regard to the
recommendations of the Governor We
are told that the Democrats, who have the
Control of the Assembly, are determined
to defeat the measure giving to soldiers
the right to vote but we can hardly cred
it it. That party has boosted so long
that there were majority of Democrats
from this state in the Army, that they
will now hardly dare to give the lie to
their pretentions, by disfranchising near
ly one-third of the vote of this state
