State Treasurer.
READ JANUARY 8, 1862.

10 the Senate and House of Representa-
t'ves of Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania:
GENTLEMEN I'm obedience to the re-
quirements of the Act of 10th March,
1882, in reference to this Department,
herewith submit the following report for
the fiscal year ending November 30th,
ls6i:-
The disbursements and general duties
OF the Department for the past year have
been largely in excess of those of any pre-
vious year in the history of our State
An unholy war and rebellion against tho
General Government, upon the part of a
number of the Southern States of the u
nion, rendered it necessary for the Pres
ident to call upon the loyal States for aid
to assist bin in sustaining the Govern.
ment. maintaining the Union, and uphol.
ding the Constitution and the laws. To
response to that call, Pennsylvania has
most nobly done her duty. as is attested
by hundred thousand of her brave and
loyal cons who are now in the field, Gus.
tanning her honor and assisting the Gov
ernmept in crushing out this traitorous
rebellion. The arming, equipping and
sustaining such large force as this by
our State, has necessarily involved large
expenditure of money, and caused the
vast increase of labor and expenditure Of
this Department to which | have alluded
PresumiDg that it will be more satisfac.
tory to have the ordinary receipts and dis
bursements of the Department shown sep
arate and distinct, from the war expenses,

The Raleigh, (N. c. Journal has this
paragraph about the call Of President
LNcoLN, for three hundred thousand
men:
IT is idle 10 shut our eyes against the
results in case these three hundred thou
sand are brought into the field before
fall With such a dashing spirit as Pope
10 command them, who viii, doubtless,
be assigned the largest force, and who
viii indirectly be the chief commander,
as was the case in the Southwest, there
can be no chance for the heroic jackson,
unless a very important advantage is at
once gained over the enemy by falling on
Pope before his rciniorcements arrive, or
by a successful movement on Washing
ton. Otherwise all is lost. As for inter-
vention that is elleotually played out
Pope must be put out of the way with
his command, and that at once otherwise
we might as well give up the ship. With
the alarming dissensions in this state,
with the prospects Of the election Of the
Federal candidate for Governor, Colonel
Vance, we must confess that the present
presents no very encouraging state Of
affairs so far as North Carolina is con-
cerned.'

he had referred these inquiries 10 his

as yet been received. The President Of

Of felonies and capital Offences which

You do, hey ~ SAYS the patriotic chap,
in great excitement. Then Mcdowell
must not lend Banks q single vote. Tell
him to keep his Ward Committees under
cover until Banks get through with his
canvass, for If he takes part in that l.and
the election results in q victory over The
Confederacy, Banks will get all the credit
of it, and win the card in the next Nomi

So McD0welPs votes didn' reinforce
Banks in the skirmish, my boy, and Banks
lost much popularity by being worsied by
the Confederacy,
AS soon as the firing had ceased, ! went

Shameful to relate, my boy, the swal-
lOw-tailed chap had no sooner said this
than a cavalry ward came charging, he'll
ter-skelter, right through the college,
tumbling the faculty into the mud, and
bruising several sophomore graduates
simultaneously, the patriotic democrat
chap appeared on the scene, and insisted
upon it that the contrabands should be
Immediately returned TO the Southern
COnfederacy, as this is a white mans
war, Otherwise, says he, cholerically,
"future reconciliation and rccOnstruc-
ton viii be impossible"
Fearful that ! should become confused
little if | remained there any longer,
my boy, / at once retired from the place,
in company with two sick votes, who
were going home ON furlough, and reach
ed this city again in good order.
Almost the first fellow beings | met,
on my return, was seedy and earnest
chap from New York, who was worth
about a quarter in ready money and had
come 20 Washington post haste to pledge
the Empire States last dollar and last
drop of blood for the vigorous prosecution
of the war
"See here my self denying Butus,

chap. "ies all Pve got left to pledge

Gently said, on the floor Of the Senate
When I was nineteen years Of age l
attended a Democratic Convention /
have been a Democrat all my life but,
sir, the man who can talk about Repuh-
lican party, or who can talk about any
thing in this crisis Of the country but the
best means to save his country, IL mROr-
thy the name Of Republican, is unworthy
the name OF Democrat There should be
no Republican party, no Democratic par
ty now.
This Government does not belong 30
caucuses nor 10 parties. IL belongs TO
the loyal men of this whole country
am determined, as far as this Ques-
tion is concerned, that / shall never
be party 10 any organization until we
have peace. just in proportion as you
organize party, you will organize diyis-
ions on tho subject Of this war. il you
form party organizations at the North,
you will haze men8for and against this
war; and il is the duty of the patriot to
guard against any such divisions.

GrHERAL Il has come to my knowl-
edge that many Of our citizens, engaged
in peaceful ayocaiions, have been arrested
and Imprisoned because they refused 20
take th8 Osth Of allegiance 60 tho United
States, while others BY hard and harsh
treatment, have been compelled 20 take
an oath not to bear arms against that
Government
have learned that about one hundred
of the latter class have been released
from Fortress Monroe. This Government
refuses TO admi; the right of the auihori-
ties Of the United States to arrest our
citizens and eXtort from them their parole
not 10 render military service 20 their
country, under the penalty of iucurring
punishment in case they fall into the
hands of your forces ] am directed by
the Secretary Of War TO inform you that
such oaihs will not be regarded as oblig-
atory, and persons who take them will
be required TO render military service.
Should your Government treat the rem
dition of such service by those persons
as a breach Of parole, and punish it ac-
cordingly, this Government will resort 10
retaliatory measures as the only means
of compelling the observance of the rules
Of civilized warfare.
I have the honor 10 be, very respect
fully, your obedicnt servant,

Of the 22d OF January last to Gen. Price

Major General George B Mcclellan, CoU-
m0Ra5g Army Of the Potomoc:
GENERAL have Just received from the
Adjutant Generals Office your letter Of
July 30th, enclosing letter from Gen. Il
Il Lee, Of July 2lst. The letters of
Gen. Dix and Major Wood will furnish
you with the proper information for a re-
ply to Gen. Lees complaints in regard
to the treatment Of prisoners at Fort
Monroe. The Government of the United
States has never authorized any extor-
ton of oaths of allegiance or military pa
roles, and has forbidden any measures
to be resoried to tending to that end.
Instead of eXtOrting Oaths of allegiance
and paroles, it has refused the applica-
tion Of several thousand prisoners TO be
permitted 20 take them and return to
their lrUmes ia the rebel States. AT the
same time this government claims, and
will exercise the rightto arrest imprison,
or place beyond its military lines, any
person suspected OF giving aid and infor-
nation TO its enemies, or of any treason
able act. And If persons so arrested
voluntarily take the oath Of allegiance, or
give their military parole, and afterwards
violate their plighted faith, they will be
punished according to the laws and
usages Of war. You will assure Gen,
Lee that no unsecmly threats of rotalia-
tion on his part will deter this govern
ment from exercising its lawful rights
over both the persons and property Of
whatsoever name or character.
