LAST NIGHT'S REPORT.
Harrisburg, April 30. Gov. Curtain's
message in extra session speaks of unexam
pled promptness and patriotism which the
states have responded to the call of the Pres
deut's call. It snys the slaughter of North
ern troops in Baltimore for pretended of
fense of marching at the call of the Feder
al Government, p?acably on their soil, ad
mittedly in the Union, with the object of
defending the common Capital, imposes
new dunes and responsibilities on the States
and administration. This state of things
canntt be submitted to, whether Maryland
may profess to be loyal to the Union or
otherwise. There can be permitted no hos
tile soil, no obstructed thoroughfares be-
twecu the States undoubtedly loyal and
their national seat of gove nment. There
is reason to hope that the route through
Baltimore may be no longer closed against
the peaceable passage of our people armed
in the service of the Government. But we
must be fully assumed of this uninterrupted
enjoyment of a passage to the Capital by
any and every route ossentiol to the purpos
es of the Government, peacebly if possible,
but by force if necessary. The time for
temporizing and forbearing with rebellion
is passed.
More companies have been tendered than will
make up the entire complement. The Govern
or communicates the fact that the Banks of the
Commonwealth have voluntariy tendered any
amount of money necessary for the common de-
tense ot t tie general welfare ot the htate and
Nation. The loan of $ 500,000 is not yet ex
hausted, but a much larger sum will be requir
ed. The Legislature has been convened not
only to cemplete the re-orgaiiiuition of the
military laws of the State, but to give the Gov
ernor authority to pledge the faith of the Com
monwealth to borrow snch sums of money as
may be necessary for extraordinary require
ments. In order to protect the border he re
commends the immediate organization of 15
Regiment of Cavalry and Infantry, exclusive
of those called into United States service. He
recommends an act legalizing and authorizing
an appropriation for the families of Volunteers.
He also recommends the passage of a Judiciary
law to prevent the sacrifice of property by for
ced sales in the collection of debts.
