altogether too much for those traitors in the vi

men, but Butler turned the tables upon thee,

which prohibits slave holding, aud the English
subjects were refereed to the Statutes of the

Of the Governor Of Pennsylvania is briefly re-
ported as iollows:-
The message Of Gov, Curtin is amos. exclu-
siyely devoted to State affairs. The finances are
in a favorable condition.
Penn,y wanna has furnished to the General Gov.
eminent more than 100000 men since the break
ing out Of the rebellion, besides some 10000 who
were in the service or actually ready for It as vol.
unleer militia under the call Of the lth Of Sep.
TENDER last, making in the aggregate more than
100000 men.
The freemeo Of Pennsylvania, he says, feel that
in the preservation of the Union and suppression
of the most causolcss and wicked rebellion that
history records, depends the honor, interests, and
future welfare OF the Commonwealth. They will
never tolerate schemes for destroying the Govern.
mcnt Of the United States, ard forming separate
eonledencies or any other schemes for creating
confusion aud ruin, and aiding and comforting
traitors who are in arms against their coualry.

Within the last few duysayery important change
has been made in the oflrs Ct the dck and

has beu long desired, bat tie Governor of the
State has not succeeded IN bis efforts to bring the
sick home to their native air, until very recently.
Now an arrangement with the War Department
exists, by which the Vermont sick and wounded
soldiers, will be transferred from the Southern
hospitals, to the I. S. hospitals at Burlington, and
Brauleboro. Ihi, most desirable arrangement
has been made only upon conciton that the State
authorities should provide additional accommoda-
lions at BrattIeboro, for Whatever number OF pa
tents were thus transferred above 200 Che mum
Der the present hospital can accommodate) 10
carry out these arrangements ten large barnek
buildings, now standing near the !. s. General
Hospital, will be at once moved to the Hospital,
and llued up IN proper mannsr forming large
i hospital Of about 500 beds,
Towards this the Government has contributed
full and very perfect outfit for 100 beds. We
have nov on hand, received from the ladies' o.
Vermont, and from the State, on cqnipmen. for
about fifty beds and shall therefore need to have
supplied as from the State, in some tormon outi
iol $40 beds. For the reasons, that the peopl,
Of this State have ways shown a most unljrnp
disposition to contribute literally to the relief o.
