Extra Session Of the Massachusetts Lesis.
lature-Gov. Andrews Message.
BOSTON, Nov. 11.-Th he extra session OF the
Massachusetts Legislature assembled at noon
to-day.
Gov. Andrew, in his message, reviews the
legislative acts regarding bounties for recruits
and says:
SIT has been represented to me by officers en-
gagged in the recruiting service, as we'll as by
many citizens and magistrates, that these boun.
ties do not offer sufficient pecuniary induce
mentS to enable the req uired to be raj sed
within the two months which scarcely remain
to us.
''At the request Of several municipal govern.
ments, and OF divers patriotic and public spirit.
ed People OF the common wealth, have, there.
fore, called together the General Court for the
single and special purpose Of devising means
to secure the contingent of volunteers assigned
10 massachusetts, and to take such action in
the premises as in its wisdom may be found ex-
pedient"
In relation to volunteering, Gov. Andrew
says:
II am prepared, therefore, to assist in COM
hitting the Commonwealth to a policy for the
payment OF regular wages to the Massachu.
sets volunteers in addition to all other paw,
allowances, bounties and advantages hitherto
enjoyed"
The employment Of colored soldiers is
strongly advocated in the address, and the bra.
very of the saith Massachusetts colored regiment
in making the assault upon Fort Wagner is
eloquentiy referred to in proof Of their fitness
for infantry service.
