A sHREwD GAME sHREwD1.Y MDrs.

To the Editor Of the Press. ' iga 1Es saaai3 !
The sIaveholding oligarchy appear as blind
to their real condition, as they are to their own
interest. Being soundly whipped, and their
slaveholding empire blown to the winds, and
their monarch metamorphassed into woman,
one Fould suppose for very shame they would
at least make a show Of graceful submission
But such is not the fact, and various are. the
plans adopted to continue the Freedmen ID
their unpaid toll. aaea 10 tiasSsaog sEssa.&
Some planters yet attempt to terrify their
people by telling them that all who 90 over to
the Yankees are sold to Cuba or worked in
harness, instead OF mules. Others with .
greater show of fairness, tell them that the
United States Government has decided that
they are to be freed ON the first day Of August.
Then they will be at liberty to hire for wages
or go away; and many sent them away at or
near that time, even threatening to shoot them
if found upon their plantations after that
date.
The shrewdness Of this trick does not at
first appear, but the design is that the crops
for the season shall be made before they 90
away, and that they shall leave before thew
share any portion of them ri eA-
And this plan, Of procedure has several
phases. First, by driving the freed people awa ~
empty they are destitute, and their beino nm
able 20 supply themselves, gives platisibilitvs
to the statement so often made by copperbeads
North and South, that the negro cannot sun.
port himself a' eai'as lg9 - q s4,ls.
Second, an additional weight is thrown up
on the Government, as they must be supplied
with rations.
And third, and most interesting to the
planter, he is still enabled to pocket another
year of the unholy fruits of unpaid toll a e
But that staid old gentleman,-Un Sam,
has grown sufficiently shrewd to meet this
system OF plotting by counter plot, and one
having the advantage of being just and equita-

Commissioners and superintendef,ts are in

A Broken-Down system.


There is a disease to which the doctors give many
names, but which few of them understand. 1t is
simply Weakness breaking down of the vital forces
Whatever its causes, land they innumerable its
symptoms are in the main the same. Among the
most prominent are extreme lassitude loss of appe-
tte loss of flesh, and great mental depression. In
digestion and Stomach Cough are also frequently
concomitants of this distressing state of body and
mind. The common remark in relation to persons
in such condition is, that they are consumptiye.-
Now, what these unfortunates really want is vigor-
vita strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds
darkness they reeuperate their systems and re-
gain perfect health by reso, ting to HOSTETTER,s

that ife-revving tonic is required in such cases, as
that the dying flame Of an empty lamp REQUIRES 10 be

innocuous, containing nothing but the most genial
vegetable extracts, and combining the three grand
elements of stomachic and Alternative, and genial
invigorant Hostetter's Bitters are suitable to all

WINFIELD s. HANCOCK,
Maj. Gen. q. S. Volunteers, commanding Frs.
Corps.
The only act of Congress for raising volun-
teers that ana aware of, requires that the
field and line officers shall be commissioned by
the Governors OF the several States The men
In this corps are not to be formed into organi-
cations of the respective States, and it is pro.
posed that Its officers shall be appointed by the
General Government. l know of no act of
Congress or of Assembly under which men Sc
raised will be entitled to pensions or their FAM
lies to benefits from the United States or State
Government In addition, l viii observe that
without any feeling of jealousy,I am still not
ready to participate actively in transferring to
the United States illegally the right of appoint
ment vested 10 the State, and which the State
authorities can exercise with more discrimina-
ton by reason OF having a greater familiarity
with the merits of the citizens of their own
State, than the United States authorities can
possibly have. l will transmit any further
communication that may receive on this SUBJ
Iect, Ii will be perceived by reference to the
that have offered to raise, in
the manner provided by law, two or three reg
imeats of veterans for Hancock's Corps. MY
desire is TO assist the Government in every le-
gal mode in raising men, and especially to facli.
tate an officer-a native Pennsyivanian-so
as General Hancock, in his efforts
10 organize a new corps 90 aa.i-s
! shsltthrow no obstacles in his way On the
present occasion, but cannot, certainly, be
expected to invite violation of laws in carry
lg out plan which sacrifices the rights Of
The State under existing laws, and would leave
The men unprotected by them so far as concerns
uture provision for their comfort and that of
heir families.
viii further observe that it appears by tho
'eport of the Adjutant General, herewith trans
nitted, that the State, under the system estab-'
ished b7 law, has put into the military service
IF the United States since the commencement
If the war, the following number of men yiz:

The twenty-five thousand militia of 1864 are
not included in this statement.
! call the attention of the Legislature to the
Report Of the Surveyor General, herewith pre-.
sented, and commend the suggestions made by
hat officer to your consideration.
This message is accompanied by full reports
of all the military departments. They exhibit
the large amount of service performed during
the past year, and contain full history of all
the military operations of the State. Many
valuable recommendations are made in them TO
promote the efficiency of volunteers, and the
comfort of the sick and wounded, which / COM
mend 10 your earnest and immediate attention.
II affords me great satisfaction to bear my tes-
timony to the ability, diligence and fidelity of
all the officers of these several departments
Before closing this message desire to advert
to the delay which has sometimes occurred IN
the passage of the general appropriation bill
1t is necessary that this bill should become law.
as otherwise the action of government would
be stopped. To delay ifs presentation to the
Executive as was done at the last regular session.,
till a late hour of the night before the morning
fixed for the 6nal adjournment, is to deprive the
people of their right to have all acts submitted
TO the revision of the Legislature before becom-
ING laws, in case the Executive should not ap-s
prove them. If there had been lime, should
probably have returned the appropriation bill
Of last year for such revision, as when 1 had
the opportunity of deliberately examining It,
I found provisions which / could not have ap-'
proved but that opportunity was denied me be-
fore the bill had become law, and, in fact, as
the Legislature was on the point of ediourn>
ment, the only question presented to me was
whether that bill should become a law without
| amedment or the necessities of the government
remain unprevided for, i gls
| The gailaniry of our soldiers in the feif stili
| sheds lustre on the Commonwealth, and that their
merit is appreciated by a generous people Is
shown by the continued and cheerful liberniity
with which the msn and women Of the State
contribute Of their msans for their comfort and
welfare. May the blessing of God be on those
brave men who have stood by the country
through the dark hours of her trial.
