Tuesday, from which we make the following extracts : Governof-To"d congratulates the peo ple that the JJIeneral Assembly has hict, Bnd himself that shall have its coun sel. He thinks there never. has been a time, in our history, when an earnest and faithful effort at duty was more demand ed of the people's representatives than at present. We concur in'that.

Executives of the loyal lac w'11 cneer ana Biiraniate me soiaier (States are co-workers with, and in a great measure agents of, the authorities of the Federal Government, in the rais ing and organizing of tho Federal force. In view of this, I doubt uot you will be glad to know, that in the discharge of tho various exciting and delicate duties thrown upon me by these authorities, I have been able to maintain eutire har mony and friendly relations with them, sincerely believing that the President and those who surround him have acted solely with a view of restoring peace and southern border of the State, hist Sep- hon? to our distracted Government, .tetnber, to defend it against threatened y (nviisinn boutli, I have promptly rendered th Invasion. It is not necessary to discuss the ques tion, presented by the rebellion, with'tbe people of Ohio ; they have, with great 'unanimity, determined that, cost what it Diay iu time, treasure or life, tho Union of the Statis, as handed down to us by 'our fathers, shall be preserved unimpair ed; and thus handed down to our chil dren Thej will not for ono. moment concede that thero can by any causo suf ficient to justify a State, or any number of States, in withdrawing Ironi the Uni on.. Admit, if you please, thut tha.au thoritica of the Federal Governm'cut, for the time being, were to attempt to inter fere with the domestic institutions of either Ohio or South Carolina, to the extent even of introducing slavery in tho former and encludiug it from the latter; thiswould not give the slightest pretext for the ono thus attempted to be interfered with, to take up arms against ' the Government. The Federal Consti tution itself expressly protects tho State, thus interfered with, from injury. Long before any such attempt could be cxecu ted, tho people, in whose hands all pow er is plaeed, would, through the peace able, quiet mode pointed out by the Constitution, hurl tho authors of such attempt from power, and thus rescue the injured State. But no such attempt has been made, or thought of, by tho Fed eral officers now in power; and this the authors and leaders of the rebellion we'll know. President Lincoln has, again and 'again, iu tho most solemn manner, assured the peoplo that it was Ins deter mination, so far as lay iu his power, to preserve, inviolate, all the rights of tho several States. The Federal Congress, the several State Legislatures of the loy al State!), and tho people of said Stales, tn their political assemblies, have all, again and again, minks theenme pledges to tho people of the South. It was not, therefore, cither the fear or the. belief that thoir State 'rights were to be inter fered with, that induced them to-tako up arms against tho Government. Mad ambition, and disappointment in not ob taining place and. power, on the part of J .. a few wicked 'nienT.as,4.be solo- cause ; 1 and all other causes alleged by these leaders, are simply to deceive their blind followers; ' i To bring these wicked men to the punishment they deserve, and thereby re- j store harmony, law and order through oat our common country, tho people of Ohio desire to do their full share of du ty ; and, to that end, will bear any bur den that may bo imposed upon them. THE OHIO VOLUNTEERS. Early in July, tho President issued calls upon tho loyal States for 600,000 more troops. Ohio's quota for these calls was abiut 74,000; and we were called upon to raise this number prompt ly. When it is remembered that up to this date, we had. raised 115, 20Q troops, by voluntary enjistment, of which num ber at least 60,000 wcrothen in the field, this additional demand will be fully ap preciated. Large, however, as this de mand was, and great as the effort neces sarily would be to meet it, you will be proud to know that the gallant men of Ohio were, found equal to the emerge 5y. " With one accord", the patriotic and loyal citizens all over the State entered upon the good work, and ceased not un til it was finished. Of this number, about 37,000 were, by an Act of Congress, passed July It, 1862, and by the President's order, is sued in pursnanee thereof on the 4th day bf August, 1802, subject to be drafted," bpon failure to tender thoir services Vol ' bntarily. ' ' fimo milItia. v It will be seen, 'that the total. militia or promptly rendered mem all the aid In my power, cheerfully and diligently. Without feeling and mani festing such a spirit, tho power of oar greit State, in crushifig the rebellion, vouldhave been wasted and frittered a- wny. This spirit nnd determination led me, most cheerfully, to acquiesce iu the several orders of the President denying certain privileges heretofore enjoyed by the people, and still highly prized by all. nlludu particularly to tho temporary modified suspension of tho wrjt of Ha beas Corpus, and tho order for tho ar rest of citizens guilty of intcnerruig with enlistments and with the order for the execution of tho draft; and their tempo rary confinement before hearing or trial. Necessity, will alone' tolerato such or ders. This necessity, in the absence of Stale legislation, it is known to all who read, did to somo extent exist in our State; and the individual who will com plain of the execution of these orders, under the circumstances attending them, would complain of the neighbor who should break open his mansion, when on fire, to save his child from perishing in tho flnmes. For the honor of our State it should be made known, that but clev en 'of such arrests have been made witli iu our-borders, so far as known to me. Of these, threo persons wero removed from tho State, four were confined for a short time at Camp Mansfield, and th ' remaining four at Camp Chase. All those confined within the .Stute, have been set nt. liberty. All the nrrests, so far as I am -advised, were made by vir tue of orders from tho War Department, and but two upon my recommendation. RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. The -report of . the State Treasurer, herewith submitted, is a gratifying ex hibit of. our financial comlii ion. It will be seen that tho payments in to the Treasury froin.all sourccs, during the Gtical .year, ending G,) tlio l&tli- of November, 18C2, was ?,a3y,!5a8 14, and tbat tliu payments therefrom, during the sameTeriod, amounted .'o 5,8900'43 08, and that the cash balance in the Treas ury, on thut day, was $478,456 49. It will be seen from this report, that the total amount of taxes levied during the year I8G1, was f 11,0T1U27 89, that tW tftdihiiry expenses; of the State gov ernment fdr the ynnjr wa,.$J15,4t4 13; and there was paiij; fir interest on the State debt, $874,386 S8.- :?" ' ' The-the' cntiro-. indebtedness of the State, on the 13th day of November, 1891, was $14,797,273 34, of which there was paid, during" tho year, the sum of $755,610 73, leaving duo, November 15th 1852, $14,141,666 71. ' COMMON SCUOOL3. The ninth annual report of tho Com missioner of Common Schools exhibits the' gratifying fact that our system .of Common Schools fnllv meets tho expec tations of its most ardent friends: It will be seen that tho average number of scholars in attendance was 5,943 over the number for the previous year, swell ing the grand array of the children in our State acquiring knowledge, to the number; of. 723,69i . The number of teachers was: - males, lfl,.r,59, and fe males, 10,931. The number of school directors in the Stale, is about 40,000. The number of officers other than direc tors, connected n RomG way with the management of out schools, is about 4,- 000. Tho number of school districts is 1,672. Thenumber.of school-houses is 10,422; their estimated value is $4,649, 703. The average pay of male teach ers is $26 35;emale $15 32 per month. 'Tilt receipts into the Treasury for school purposes, during the year, were $2,765,- 806 70. The expenditures during the year, were $2,401,068 49. -The- levies, to further doty. " It need not be feared that such legislation will cause the be-' nevolent and generous to relax their in dividual efforts iu this direction. The truly generous aro never weary of well doing, and enough 1 will still be found for them to do. ' SOLDIERS VOTING. The Governor recoinmonds tfiat pro vision be made for the soldiers to vote whilo in camp. CIVIL DEPARTMENTS. The benevolent institutions aro repre sented to.be in a prosperous condition. The following is the number or Ue un fortunates that have been provided for at'tho several institutions the past year : Lunatic Asylum (omitting Longviow) 6U2 At the Blind Asylum 120 At Ilia Denf wi'l Dumb Aylura 160 At tha Idiotio Apylum 57 strength of the State is 425,147; that ofj f an(' loottl-fl,r S?Ta the 74,000 Required from Ohio, about 62,000 volunteered between the date of the President's order and the date fixed 'for the draft; 'thus leaving but abouf 12,000 to be drafted; Ih&t, o this 12, 000, about 4,850, either in person or by substitute, volunteered for the toim of three years; that 2,900 were discharged for various reasons, and that 1,900 have, as yet, failed to respond to tho dj-aft, thus leaving 2,400 as the number. actu ally sent to the Geld for service under the draft.' All tho rest of oiir force in the service being for threo years or dur ing the war. ' The deficiencies above stated, occa-. sioned by discharges and failures to re spond, amounting together to 4,800, are the current year, are $446,684 60 less than for the year 1861. REL1E TO SOLDIERS FAMILIES. The Boveral measures for tho relief and protection of our soldiers, herein referred to, embrace nil iu our power. so far as they are personally concerned; but we have yet tho further duty to per form of caring for their families in their absence. We are proud to know that o very neighborhood of our State is bles sed with generous and benevolent souls, who are happy in extending the hand of kindness and charity to thoir distressed "neighbors, and who will seek out those Who have been le.'t by the gallant volun- Totulf- 889 And the total expense to the State tho past year was $135,487. i PENITENTIARY. The number of prisoners on the 15th of Docembcr, 1862, was 768 ; of these 750 wero males and 18 females; whites 657, colored 111. The number dis charged was 393. Wo are not told whether the institution is self-supporting. Tho Iteforra School and Farm, in Fairfield County, is doing well. The number in attendance last year ivas 185, at an expense of $19,670. TUE BANKS. . The banks, under the law allowing them to suspend specio payments, on condition of furnishing tho State specie in lieu, of their notes, to pay tho inter est on tho foreign debt of the State, promptly met their engagement. As there is such a difference between gold and paper currency, the Governor now recommends the Legislature to relieve the banks of their obligations to furn ish epecio to pay this interest in tho fu ture. He nlso advises to take no steps at present to test the sense of the peo ple us to a continuance of the banks af ter the expiration of their charters, which expire in 1865. INTEREST TO CREDITORS. Tho Message recommends thut the in tcrest duo on all our bonds bo paid to all creditors in gold. Our foreign cred itors have been paid in gold ; our do tnestie creditors in paper currency That, tho Governor thinks, is wrong. .... c - Meshnge of Governor Seymour, of New York. Buffalo, Jnn. 7th. Governor Sey mour's message is ".quite lengthy, that purt referring to national affairs occupy ing four ordinary newspaper columns. He Bays that New York has 6cnt since the outbreak of the war 220,000 soldiers to the field. Speaking of the causes of the war, he says, frightened at tho ruin they have wrought, the authors of- the calamity, both North and South, insist that this was caused by an unavoidable contest about slavery. This has been the subject, not the cause of the coutro versy. We are to look for the causes cf this war in a prevailing disregard of the obligations of laws and Constitutions, disrespect for constituted authorities. and, above all, in the local prejudices Which have grown up in the two portions of tho Atlantic! states. TUE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT. When tho leaders of the insurrection at ihe extreme South f ay free, and slave States cannot xiet together, m the Uni on, ana when tins is ccnoea troin tne extreme North by the enemies of our Constitution,' both parties simply say they con not, because thevwill not, re Rpect the laws and the Constitution. This spirit, of disloyalty must be- pnt down. It is inconsistent with all order and. social security with safety of per sons and properly. This war -should have been averted f but when its flood gates were . opened, the Administration could not grasp -its dimensions nor con .trol its sweep,- . .Government was borne along by I he current, and struggled as it best could with the "resistless tide. Few seemed able to comprehend its mil Itury .or "financial problems; hence we are not to sit in harsh judgment upon errors in conduct or policy. OBLIGATIONS OF TUB PEOPLB AND tUE AUTHORITIES TO TUB GOVERNMENT. . . Thnre are not only, obligationa-ml lnir on our people toward our authori ties, but under our ptfliticaf system there are liocitations between the departments of the Government and between the State and National Governments which must be observed to secure .the public safety, The Legislativof Executive and Judicial departments are co-ordinate.: it is equal lv treasonable to resist the rightful au thnritv of either. To overthrow the Dower of either department is revolution, While the War" Department Set aside, the authority of the Judiciary, ana over rldes'tho laws of States, the Governors of States meet to shnpo. thepolicy of the General Government : the "National Legislature appoints committees to in terfero with the military conduct of the war; and Senators combine to dictate to the Executive the choice of constitution al advisers. The natural results of med ioo as to tha dividing line between State j and National jurisdiction, but there can be none us to the existence of such sep arate jurisdictions, each covering sub jects of legislation and jurisprudence es sential to the publio security and wel fare. A consolidated government in this vast country would destroy the es sential home rights and liberties of the pedplo. The sovereignties of the States, except as they are limited by the Con stitution, can never be given op. With out them our Government can not stand- It was made and it can b thauged by State agency. ; i - : . . Governor Seymour quotes the Consti tution iu support of this, and says While States can thus take away or add to their power, the General Government can in no way touch ne rjght of the States or mvade their jurisdiction.' Ue then devotes considerable space to the subject of . ARBITRARY AB RESTS, and says that the subject presents a body of tyranuy that can not be eularged ; also, that the suppression, of journals and 'imprisonment of persons has been glaringly partisan, and that the attempt I ; has been made to shield these violators of law and to suppress injury, but this attempt will fail. It is a high criino to abduct a citizen of this State It is made my duty by the Constitution to seo the laws enfnrc- J. I shall investigate every alleged violation of our statutes, and see that offenders are brought to justice. Against these wrongs and out rages the people of the Stato of New York at Us election solemnly protested. It is a suggestive fact, allowing in struction and hope for tho future, that the theories which have exercised an evil influence on our national polities, did not origiuate in what may be called the heart of tho Union, nmong the inti- ni iu o and well-acquainted populations of the Cetitrnl nnd Western states Thero have been extreme Northern views and extreme Southern views, bnt also the broader and more populous Central and Western -States. These States enlisted warmly iu the war for the Union and the Constitution. When the Administration abandoned this poli cy and took up the viows of extromo Northern States, it lost at the late elee tions nearly all political support which those States afforded in the elections of 1860 and '61. While tho North can not hold the Southern" States in subjection without destroying the principles of onr Go-' eminent, tho great Central and Western States can control the two extremes. FANATICS NORTH AND SOUTH. Ho re neat 3 that when the Government adopted the views of Jhe extrcme'North ern States, a remarkable political re volution was the result; that no extreme views will ever prevail; jthat especially the Central and Western States will nev er accept them; that those of the cen tral slavo States which regretted the ordinance of Secession, which sought to remain' m tho 'Union,? and which were drawn off hy a contemptous, uncom promising policy, must be brought back. The restoration of the whole Union will then ouly be a work of time. The pol icy of subjugation and exterminating means also the Waste ot the blood, and treasure' of the North. There is but ono way to save us from demoralization, dis cord and reputation. " Our Union must be restored complete in alt its parts, f- No section must be disorganized beyond the unavoidable necessities of war. It can not be so nnfted npon any bloody, barbarious, revolutionary or nn- constuuliona' scheme, looking merely to the gratification of hatred, purposes of party ambition or sectional advan tage. Let no one demand that the blood o his neighbor shall bo seed; lot u one think that the peoplo who have refused to yield this Uniou to. rebellion at the South will permit Us restoration to be prevented by fanaticism at the JMONHi v . , - .

The American's special Fortress Monroe letter, dated January 4, says : ' . ' In conversation with several of tbe of ficers and crew of the Monitor, I gath ered tbe following narrative of the facts attending tho loss of that noble. little vessel and so many of her crew,. , "We left- FortKaa Monroe on Mon-. day, the 19th of December, in tow of the steamer Ithode Island, with the PasBaie in tow , of the istate of Georgia. . -We passed Cape Henry Monday afternoon at five o'clock, with a smooth sea and light wind. The Passaic was little way ahead. . . The weather continued fine an-, til five o'clock Tuesday evening, wheb it couimeuced'to"tlow from the south- tvest, with a heavy sea running, making a siean sweep over all. r" "At 9:30 Cape Ilatteras boro N. N. W. distant 20 miles: The gale still in creased. The vessel labored very heav ily, the n'pper hulls coming down upon every sea with fearful violence. Up to this time the Worthingtou pumps and bile injectors were entirely competent to koep the vessel free ' ' . At 10 o'clock several heavy seas struck. the Vessel in succession, when word was sent from the engiue rooms that the water was gaming on the pumps. Orders were then givea to start Adam's centrifugal pump, capable of throwing 3,000 gallons of water per minute. For a while the water appeared to be kept under. "In a short time, however, word was passed from the engine room that the water was again gaining on the pumps, and was at that timo up to the-ash-pits, m a great measure stopping the draft Tho water at this time was standing two feet deep on the vrardroom Uoor. "All hands were then set to work with every bur.ket at hand to bail. Water, however, kept gaining upon the pumps until within a foot of tho fires in the furnaces, "A 'Coston' signal was then flashed to call the attention of the Rhode Is laud to our condition. After much de lay, consequent upon the heavy sea run ning, a boat was lowered from her aud sent to onr "assistance) After several trials she succeeded ia getting along side bf us. , "Tho Rhode Island at tho same time in going astern, caught her launch be tweeu her own side and onr vessel, crush ing the boat badly and bringing her own counter very heavily down npon our side For a timo she could not move her en giue. ' Getting on a center, she finally started ahead, and the launch, smashed as it was, succeeded in conveying to the steamer thirty of tbe crew of the Mom, tor, "Aftor the departure of the launch thoso remaining on board" worked the buckets with a will. The gale at this time was raging furiously, the seas mak ing a clear sweep over the top of th turret. The water at this iunctrirs had succeeded in rising up to the grate bars ot the furnaces and was gradually ex mguishing the fires. Tho steam in the boilers consequently ran down, aud the pumps could not be worked for want of sufficient steam. 'At this timo threo boats wero discov ercd coming toward the vessel. Word was passed that boats wore at hand su ncient to take all from tho vessel.- The Monitor was now sinking. Every pum was stopped and her deck was under water. Several, in coming off the tur ret, were swept by the waves to the lee ward, and must have perished, as no as sistance could be rendered them.; "The boats then shoved off from the sinking vessel. Although entreated to come down and get into the boats, sev eral remained standing npon the turret, afraid of being, swept from the deck, stu pefied with fear. The boats succeeded in reaching the Rhode Island iu safety, and all in them got on board. ' ' "A'pickeu crow with the gallant offi cer of the Rhode Island, Mr. Brown, then shoved off in the launch to return to ,the Monitor. The moon, which tip to this time had been throwing some light upon the waves, was: shot in by dense coasses of black clouds. . - "At a quarter to 1 o'clock in the morn- ing, the Monitor's light disappeared be neath, the waves.. The Rhode Island then started for the spot where the Mon itor, was seen to go down. -Coston sig nals were constantly kept burning...: A strict lookout was .kept on all parts Of the vessel to catch a glimpse, if possible, of the missing boat.; y "Al daylight nothing was seen on the waves, and: with Iwavy- hearts we ran around the spot? as '.nearly at could be judged,' where the Monitor had disap poured, until lute in the afternoon. .
