HARRISBURG. Jan. 4.
Gov. Curtin's message was delivered to-
day. He says the public debt has been. re-
dueed; that the quota of the state is $4,000
men, and expresses surprise that such large
number of men is needed toscoyer deficiencies.
He states that large numbers of men, who
have been enlisted, mustered in, paid large
bounties, could never have reached the army,
and estimates that the State has been swindled
out of some $4,000 ,000 He draws hopeful
conclusion from the recent successes in the
field, and invokes the blessing of God on our
brave soldiers and sailors.
