The Governors message was delivered
ut 9 o'clock this p. M. 1t is very
lengthy, aud confined principally to re-
view OF State affairs. That portion Of it
relating to national politics is intensely
radical. fully indorsing the course Of the
administration and the. proolamatiOns Of
the Pres dent; urging that slavery should
be entirely wiped out before the war lie
brought to close that, a. it is the
cause of the present rebellion, should .
remnant of it Be left, it would only leave
undestroyed seeds for future difficulty Of
the same nature ~ the present. The
message prononuces the amnesty procIa-
nation Of the President eminently just
and proper. An addition Of ono men,
Der to the Supreme Court, making the
number four, is recommended; alec %
increase 10 tho SALARY OF the Adjutant
General to $4,000 per annum, and an sp-
preparation OF $4,000 to purchase law
books for the State Library. 1t also rec.
ommcnds an appropriation for Sanitary

augurated on Thursday, the canvass OF
the votes not yet having taken place.
Recruits are arriving and being for
ward,d d from here in large numbers, ev-
cry day. 1t is thought by Adjutant Gen.
Baker that, if the State gets credit for
the excess furnished under former calls,
her quota under the present one, il not
already made up, certainly will be before
the 18th OF Of February. Warren county
has appropriated $4,000 to be given in
