The twenty-five thousand militia of
1862 are not included in this statement.
[ cal. the attention of the Legislature
to the report of the Surveyor General,
herewith presented, and commend the
suggestions made by that officer to your
consideration.
This message is accompanied by full
reports of all tho military departments
They exhibit the large amount of service
performed during the past year, and con-
tain a full history of all the military
operations of the State. Many valuable
recommendations are made In them to
promote the efficiency of our volunteers,
and the comfort of the sick and wounded,
which | commend to your earnest and
immediate attention. 1t affords me great
satisfaction to bear my testimony to the
ability, diligence and fidelity of al. the
officers in these several departments.
Before closing this message / desire to
advert to the delay which has sometimes
occurred iu 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 its presentation to the
Executive as was done at the last regular
session-till late hour of the night be-
fore the morning fixed for the final
adjournment-is to deprive the people OF
their right to have all bills submitted to
the revision of the Legislature before
becoming laws, in case the Executive
should not approve them. It there had
been time, Ishould probably have returned
the appropriation bill Of last year for such
revision, as when had the opportunity of
deliberately examining it, found provis-
ions which I could not have approved
but that opportunity was denied me before
the bill had become law, and in fact, as
the Legislature was on the point of ad
journmeut, the only question presented to
me was whether that bill should become a
law without amendment or the necessities
of the government remain unprovided for
The gallantry of our soldiers in the field
still sheds lustre on the Commonwealth,
and that their merit is appreciated by a
generous people is shown by the continued
and cheerful Eberality with which the
men and women of the State contribute of
their means for their comfort and welfare
May the blessing of God be on those brave
men who have stood by the country thro'
the dark hours of her trial.

lamqtion.
Whereas, by the act approved July 4,

poses," it is provided that the President
Of the United States may at his discretion
at any time hereafter call for any number
Of men as volunteers for the respective

Cary service, and that in case the quota or
any part thereof OF any town, township,

trjct, or Of county not so su5diyided,
shall not be filled within the space of fifty
days after such call, then the President
shall Immediately order draft for one
year, to fill such quotas or any part thereof
which may be untitled;
Aud whereas, by the credits allowed in
accordance with the act of Congress On
the call Cor five hundred thousand men,
made July Is, 1864, the number of men
to be obtained under that call was reduced
to 2S0,000 men;
And whereas, the operations Of the en-

States, do issue this my call for Three
Hundred Thousand Volunteers, to serve
