The wound is ghastly and painful, but no
serious consequences are expected to re-
suit from it.

Harrisburg Correspondence.
HARRISBURG, Aug. Q, lS6

Both Houses re-opened their sessions
to-day with nearly full representations,
and the Governor communicated forth
with, Message detailing the evils Of the
Rebel raids upon our border, with sucges-
tiens to prevent their reoccurrence, and
also proposing to provide for the apPro-
priation Of means to pay the Banks the
sum advanced to pay the Emergency men,
and also to aid the sufferers by the shame
ful oonhagation Of Chambersburg, as
Pittsburg was aided after the accidental
fire there few years ago. The various
recommendations werer eferred to appro-
pirate Committees in each House, which
1t is hoped will promptly report SO that
the Legislature may have their appropri-
ate business before them. To put in op-
Grafton the militia system, and 10 guard
against all known abuses Of voting by
Soldiers, are weichty and difficult matters,
requiring much caution and considerable
time.
1t is alleged that every member has at
least one private bill in his pocket, which
he desires TO pass-just one. But there
seems to be healthy determination to
touch nothing but the legitimate business
Of the called and adjourned sessions.
Very many think that is work enough
Tor hot weather, and others want to stand
vel! at home just this particular time.
These are pleasing indications-b on
the other hand, was sorry to see hate
ful party snake already erect in the shape
OF notice on the House door for ''cau

seems the plain and simple Questions
whose Importance al must acknowledge

WEDNESDAY, Aug 10.
The sense Of both Houses i clearly
against special or local Legislation, but the
correction Of bills passed is likely to
oe lne entering wedge for much business.
In Senate, Mr., johnson proposed /
State Bounty Bill, to equalize the draft
and Its burdens. As it is, the rich conn
nes' by heavy bounties, do not really fill

merely dOubly tasked. But as a State

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,


t. The Senate and House of Reorescata
tires ct tie Communicable Of RsnnsyI.
rIHia :
GENTLEMEN II have called you to.
gether in advance Of your adjourned ses.
sion, for the purpose of taking some &C.
ton for the defence Of the State. From
the commencement Of the present rebel
lioo, Pennsylvania has done her whole du.
ty 20 the Government. Lying as her
southern counties do, 10 the immediate
vicinity Of the border, and thus exposed
to sudden invasion, selfish policy would
have led her to retain sufficient part of
her military force for her own defence. In
so doing, she would have failed in her
duty TO the whole country. Not only
would her men have been withheld from
the field Of general operations, but the
loans and taxation which would have be-
come necessary, would have to q large ex-
tent diminished the ability of her people
70 comply with the pecuniary demands Of
rue United States. She would also have
necessarily interfered with and hampered
ali tue military action of the Government,
and made herself to some extent, respou.
sioie Tor any failure and SHORTCOMINGS
tnai may have occurred. In pursuance Of
the policy thus deliberately adopted, this
State has steadily devoted her men to The
general service. From the beginning she
has always been among the first to respond
10 the calls of the United States, ss is
'hown BY her history from the three
months men and the Reserve Corps to tie
present moment. Thus faithfully fulfill
ng all her own obligations, she has .
lght to bs dsisndsd BY the nstional force, |
