wants; but the few unwilling TO DO their

mend the levy OF special tax TOR this pur.
d pose. The act OF February 13, 1869, should
be continued. As, however, the number Of
soldiers in the field has largely increased
since the passage OF this act, it is necessary
that the levy be increased. A rate oi ond

sum of $500 900. added to the voluntary

: be ample to make the mothers, wives anG
little ones (whose natural protectors are alb

that is dear to us,) comfortable, and X owl

ridual efforts in this direction. Tbs truly
; generous are never weary of well doing, and
enough will still be i0und Tor them 70 do. .
Before dismi.sing the subjects relating 10
the military operations OF the past year, 1t
may be proper that | remind you, that the
Executive OF the loyal States are co workers
with, and in great measure agents Of, the
authorities Of the Federal Government, in
the raising and organizing of the Federal
forces. In view OF this. l doubt not you
will be glad to know, that in the discharge
OF the various exciting and delicate duties
thrown upon me by these authorities, have
been abe 10 maintain entire harmony and
friendly relations with them. Sincerely be.
lieyng that the President. and those who
surround bin have acted solely with view
o1 restoring peace and harmony TO our dis.
tracted Government and to all lis citizens,
whether North or South, | have promptly
rendee ed them all the aid in my power,
cheerfuly and diligently. Without !eeling
, and mani(esting such a spirit, the power OF
| our gr, at State, IN crushing the rebellion,
would have been wasted and frittered awayt
This spirit and determination led me, most
cheerfully, to acquesce in the several orders
OF the President denying certain privileges
heretofore enjoyed by the people, and still
highly priced by all. | allude particularly
to the temporary modified suspension of the
writ of Habeas Corpus, and the order for the
arrest of citizens guilty Of interfering with
enlis ments and with the order for the exc.
cutiou Of the draft and Temporary copAne-
ment before hearing or trial. Necessity,
stern Decessi y, will alone tolerate such or.
ders. This necessity In the absence OF State
legislation, it is known 10 all who read, did
to some extent exist in our State; and The
individual who will complain OF the execu.
tion OF these orders, under the circumstan-
ces attending them, would complain OF the
Deighbor who should break open his mahsion
when on fire, to save his child from perish
ing in the flames. For the honor OF our
State, it should be made known, that but
eleven such arrests have been made within
ouI borders, SO far as known TO me. OF
c these, three persons were removed from the
State, our were cCnhned ior time at Camp
8 Mansfield, aud the remaining our at Camp

complain OF the acts referred TO, when his
neighbor on either side OF him has given up
forever his darling son, should be frowned
upon by all coed men. God grant that heilh-
or, again, may nver be called upon to make
the sacrifice ''
As this, however, may not happily prove
to be the case, and as we may yet be called
upon to raise additional troops. it is recon-
mended that provisions be made by law, to
prevent all interference, by vii disposed per-
sons, with the persons intrusted wi h that
duty. The Act>ot April 26, 1861, ebtitled
'An Act to punish treason and other crimes"
should be SO amended as to embrace this
otfense. The duly constituted authorities
OF our State would then be able TO take care
Of all offenders within the State, and there
by relieve the President OF the United States
and all acting under his authority from this
to them, unpleasant but necessary duty.
Referring to the measures you had under
consideration at the time OF your adjourn.
tnent, postponed, presume. Tor the want Of
time duly TO mature the same, beg to cali
your special attention TO House Bill No. JAG,
ITO author Sc volunteers lIom this State, in
actual service at the time OF q general cleo
ton, 10 vote wherever they may be-" and
Senate bill No. l53, ITO create the office OF
Assistant Adjutant General, and Assistant
Qusrtermaster General" O."
The FIRST OF these measures is based upon
Justice to q class OF our most meritolious
citizens. The right Of participating in the
election Of the officers or our Government, Is
perhaps more highly priced by the citizens
than any political right or privilege secured
to him by our Constitution. therefore
respectfully urge you to secure by law, as
far as practicable, TO every citizen of the
STATE who may be in the military service Of
the country, this inestiinable privilege.
| A prompt discharge OF the business in the
offices of the Adjutant>G General, and Quar-
ternaster General, in which every portion OF
our new State is now deeply Interested,
demands early and favorable action upon the
second measure referred 10. 4s n
e In calling your attention to civil departs
ments OF the State government, regret to
be compelled to announce, that for the want
OF time, have been able 10 devote but little
personal attention TO them. The care and
attention to the army from Ohio, has fully
occupied my time. ] must therefore simply
reler you to the reports of the officers in
charge Of the different Department. OF the
