PHILADELPHIA, Jan. I.
Governor Curtin's message will lie handed
in to the Legislature to-day. 1t shows the
State debt to be S39y500,000. He recommends
that a tax be levied ON the receipts of all the
Railway and Mining companies. After earn
estly urging that such measures shall be adopt
ed by the State to strengthen the general gov
eminent, he says, we are fighting the great
battle OF good, of truth, Of right, of liberty.
The Almighty has no attribute that can favor
our savage and degenerate enemies. No peo-
pie can submit to territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
without becoming contemplate in their own
eyes and in those Of the world. But it is not
only against territorial dismemberment that
we are struggling, but against the destruction
OF the very ground work Of our whole politi-
cal system. The ultimate question truly at
issue is the possibility of the permanent exist
ence of powerful republic. That is the ques-
ton now to be solved, and by the blessing of
God, we mean that it shall not be our fault if
it is not solved favorably. We have during
the past year made mighty strides towards
such a solution, and TO all human appearance
we approach its completion; but whatever re-
verse may happen, whatever blood and treas
ure may still be required, whatever sacrifices
may be necessary, there will remain the mex
orable determination of our people to fight out
this thing TO the end to preserve and perpetu-
ate the Union. They have sworn that not one
star Shall be torn from the constellation, nor
its clustered brightness be dimmed by treason
and sayagery, and they will keep their oath.

MATTHIAS ABOUT TOWN,
Sale Of Paintings,

Our readers are reminded that the sale Of
elegant paintings will take place to-day Fri
day. at 10 IL o'clock.
Portland can boast Of many fine buildings
very richly furnished, and there is no reason
why We should not be as great patrons Of art
as the citizens of other places. What is more
conclusive to refinement and taste than "a
house decorated with pictures from nature
exhibiting the grandeur of mountain, river
and ocean, or the more-serene and romantic
beauty of meadow, woodland and dale. The
mind is chastened by such influences, and the
rough points rounded off our natures by the
contemplation of the works of true art.

much as as please" He was taken to the

but fora long time after he was placed in it his
voice could be heard shouting and singing, as
though he was having "jolly good time
