Extra Session of the Penn. Legislature.
HARRISBURG, PA, Aug. 9.
The extra session Of the Legislature met
here to-day.
Gov. Curtin, in his message, calls upon the
Legislature to take some action for the de-
tense of the State. He spoke of the support
received by Pennsylvania to the National gov
eminent, and says tht State has fulfill all her
obligations.
Pennsylvania, he says, has right to be de-
Tended by the National forces, as part of the
common country. He quotes letter address,
ed by him, to get her, with Gov. Bradford Of
Maryland, to Pres. Lincoln, asking that re-
cruits raised by the State shall be credited to
the quotas on the last call made, and be arm
ed, equipped and supplied, as other volunteers
in the service; also letter from the Adjutant
General, stating on behalf of the Secretary of
War, that such authority cannot be granted.
The governor says the suggestion has been
frequently made, by unrefecting persons, that
the State should raise force and keep it per-
manently in the field. A part from other con-
siderations 1t is to be observed that the ex-
pense OF such measure would be quite be-
yond the present ability of the State.

Veteran Troops on a Purlough

The 18th Maine Regiment, under command
OF Col. Rust, comprising 179 men, and the
18th Maine, under Col. Dyer, numbering 232
men, arrived here in special train from Bos-
ton yesterday afternoon. At the depot they
were furnished with abundant refreshments.
both edibles and drinkables. After remaining
here an hour they left for Augusta.
These troops re-enlisted last January while
in the Department of the Gulf, where they
have been ever since the regiments went for
ward from this State, until about six weeks
since, when they entered the army of the Po-
tomac. At the time of re-enlisting the ex-
igencies of the public service required their
services in the field, and they remained. They
come home now, laden with honor, to spend
short furlough, and then to return once more
TO the front.
They appeared hale and hearty. On leav
ing the depot they gave nine rousing cheers
, for the city Of Portland and for the Union.

Wonderful Sewing Machine improvements

Every lady who uses a sewing machine, o
almost any of the approved patterns, is awar.
OF the danger to the needles and the difficulty
In breaking and entangling the thread, wher
the wheel starts in the wrong direction-turns
backward. They also know how necessary il
Is, especially when the crank is on the centre,
to take hold Of the wheel with one hand in
order to start it, and this, too, when both
hands are SO much needed to manage the
work
By very ingenious continuance, easily ap-
piled to almost any machine, all these evils
are avoided. 1t is called "Williams' Patent
Crank Notion" The advantages derived
from the use Of this improvement over the
common crank, concisely stated, are as fol.
lows:
LIST. 1t gives the operator the entire control
of the machine, starting from any point, and
turning the wheel always In the right direc-
ton without using the hands.
I'd. The motion Of the treadle is acquired
with greater ease, from the fact that this inn
proyement will not allow the machine to be
turned In the wrong direction, which is the
cause, In many cases, of breaking needles, en-
tangling thread, &c.
Sd. BY its use, the new beginner is conf
dent that the machine can always be started
and moved In the right direction by the feet
alone, and the mind being thus Invested of all
fear OF turning the machine in the wrong d.
rection, the operator can confue the atten-
ton TO the use of the machine.
4th. The machine can always be started
with the feet, even though the Crank be on
the centre.
9th. By its use the operator can, at the
time Of starting the machine, apply both
hands to the article to be sewed, which is the
very time when both hands are especially
needed to hold and guide the work.
Mr.. JOHN PORTER, of Rhode Island, is in
the city for the purpose Of applying this i'm
provement. He will be found at No. IL
Clapps Block, where the advantages of the
improvement are fully demonstrated. He
called upon US, and we reluctantly consented
to his applying his Improvement to "wheeler
and Wilson"-which had been allowed to go
almost out Of use because it was SO often out
of order-and now 1t works so well that we
expect to be ruined in purchasing cloth at the
present high rates TO be worked up with II.
Seriously, it is one of the most practical and
valuable inventions we have ever seen, and
we would advise. every lady owning machine,
to call upon Mr.. Porter and see the operation
it.
Another less pretentious but very valuable
improvement, is what is called "Hyde's At
tachment." applied to the needle arm, through
which the thread passes, and which makes in
fsrior cotton or linen work equally well with
the most approved cotton, and enables the
needle to work In sized cloth as readily
as in the soft finish. Mr.. Porter's advertise
ment will be found in this paper.

Capture of % Rebel Train.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 0.
On Sunday rebel train was seen beyond
Aide, Loudon county, Va. The rebels de-
tached some of their wagons loaded with
plumber from the main body, and moved in an
easterly direction from the mountains, in the
meantime being followed by body of Union
cavalry, who were not, however, In sufficient
force to make an attack. At or near Aide
the Union force was augmented by about sixty
cavalry under command of Col. Bliss, who had
been out on scout. The rebel force was at
tackled, and some twenty-five wagons loaded
with grain taken. Those in charge of the
