BOSTON, Jan. y.
Gov. Andrews message to the Legislature, to-
day, is Of unusual length. Ii gives general his
tory OF facts and figures, showing the part Massa-
chusetts has thus far taken agains: the Southern
rebellion. The war expenses foot up nearly thirty
three million eighty hundred thousand dollars
to Offset this the State has been reimbursed by
Government seven hr adrei and seventy FIVE thou
sand dollars and by other sans making the aggre-
gate refunded nearly one million dollars. The
troops sent into the field, both for three months
and three years, with the exception of one battery
have been fully armed and equipped by the State
The Governor recommends the state TO assume
the collection Of the direct national tax OF S. 245,
81, being its proposition Of tho t~ enty million su-
thorised by Congress The State has contributed
Eve regiments OF infantry. battery Of artillery
and one battalion Of rifles Of her militia to the
three M months service and to tho three years ser

infau try, Of cavalry, i've batteries
two companies Of sharp shooters and an infantry
battalion Of Eve companies. six companies m re
are attached to tive New York regiments. Militia
~ education in our common schools is recon-
nsndod.
The Governor closes his message as follows:
"The great rebellion must be put down and its
promoters crushed beneath the ruins Of their own
ambition. The greatest crime Of history muct re-
ceivo doom 90 swift and sure that the enemies
Of the popular Government shall stand in awe

caussless 10 its origin. It began and grew UP and
continues under The lead and direction Of men who
had received all the favon, and enjoyed al tho
blessings Of our Government. and who were
bound 81 official oaths to maintain it. Reckless
Of consequences and determined to ruin where
they could mot rule, they conspired against the
welfare Of nearly thirty millions OF people ard

inconceivable madness into every danger suffering
