HARRIsBURG, Aug. 9.-The extra session Of
the Legislature met to-day.
Gov. Curtin, In his message, calls upon the
| Legislature to take some action for the defence
| Of the State. He speaks of the support rem
dered by Pennsylvania 10 the National Govern
ment, and, having fulfilled all her obligations,
she has the right TO be defended by national
forces as part Of our common country.
After alludlng 10 the several invaslons be asks
how could an agricultural people In an open
| country be expected to rise suddenly and beat
back hostile forces, which had defeated the Or
ganized veteran armies OF the Government II
Is, of course, expected that the Inhabitants of
| an invaded country will do what Is In their
power TO resist the invaders, and the facts will
show, think, that the people of these coun-
ties have not failed In this duty. He severely
condemns the gibes and SCOTS which have been
thrown upon the people by papers and citizens
of other States. He quotes a letter addressed
bv him, together with Gov. Bradford, of Mary
land, to President Lincoln, asking that recruits
raised by the States shall be credited to quotas
on the last call made, and be armed, equipped,
and supplied as other volunteers In the service.
