Boston, Jan. 8—The annual of Governor Andrew was deliyered to day. It is very lengthy. The oie into the State Treasury in 1563 were $7,229,000, aad payments 86,728,000. The total number of men tfrnished to the land serviee by Massachusetts previous to October, 1863, was 75,608. Governor Andrew argues at length in favor of recruiting our wasted regiments on fields where thoge regiments have borne the satsonal flag wath honor, snd in every State whichthey have-heiped to grasp from rebel usurpation, Every man we might thus induce to join our ranks would be one civilian saved to the na- tional industry, one soldier added to the army of the Union, one less possible victim of rebel con: cription, and one Union man of the Sou h enjoying in the form of the Massachusetts bounty some compensation for the waste sud ‘ant with which the rebelion had visited him.

Sea + eine SEN ATE.—After our report clesed yesterday — ‘The Presiding Officer laid before the Senate the report of Richard S. Coxe, Esq., on the subject of a digest of the laws of the Distric: of Columbia. It was referred tothe Committee on the District of Colambia. Mr. Wilson introduced the following pream- ble and resolution which lies over. Whereas The Hon. Garret Davis, a Senator from the State of Kentucky. did on the fifth day of January, A. D. 1561, introdace into the Senate of the United States a series of resolu. tions, in which. among other things, itis «e- clared that “the peopie of the North ought to Tevyoltagsinst the war leaders and take this matur into their own hands,” thereby mean- ing to incite the pecple of the United S Tevoltagainst the Presidentof tue United Stit-s and those in authority who support him in the prosecution of the war to preserve protect and defend the Coustitut.on and the Wuion, and to take the prosecution of the war int) theirowa hands, theretore Beit resolved, That the id Garrett Davis bas. by the introduction of the resoiu'ions atoro- said, been guilty of advising the people of the | Uniled States to treasonable, insurre and rebellious action against the Goveroment of the United Siates, and of a gross violation of the privileges of the Senate, for which he is hereby expelled. Mr. Wii-on said ine offered the resolwtien on his own responsibility. He had resolved that, when efforts were made here to organize re- beltion, tending toa dissolution or the Union, or if treascnable appeals wire made in his prése: ce, tooffer sucha resolution. The words of the Senator were not offered in debate, but were embodied in a series of resolutions, up- pesli:g tothe peopte to reyolt. If this were achezed io civil war in the country must fol- low. Stripped of verbiage that was the pur- pose. Mr. Davis replied thatthe resolution of the honorable Senator from Massachusetts pre- sented a garbled version of his language. It Was not contained in bis resolution. The inter- ence which the Senator Grew was not author- ized by the language. The Senator himseif had admitted that, when his State was in rebellion against the United States, he sympathized with the rebellion in the Burns ‘case. «Det the galléc [2Gé Wine; my withers are unwrung.” When the Senator spoke of treason 2gainst tae Government he spoke from ttle recesses of his own heart. The resolution he (Mr, Davis) would abide by, and he denied that it author- ved the interpretation the Senator from sachusetis had endeavored to deduce from it. The Senator from Massachusetts was an adyo- cate of the exercise of the military power in elections to destroy their freedom and carry results by the bayonet. Now, his resolution meant this: the people should rise at the polls and take the power of the Government, which properly belonged to them, into their own ands, and that the people should repudiate their leaders. He gaye them this advice here, here, and everywhere. How was it with the honorable Senator? If he recollected right, he was with the Burrs insurrection in Massachu- setts. After some further remarks by Messrs. Davis and Wilson, the Senate proceeded to tne con- sideration of the bill amendatory of the enroll- ment act; when— Mr. Sumner offered an amendment, which contained three elements: First, that no person shall be allowed to furnish a substitute, but that this shall be done by the Government; Second, the commutation of three hundred dol- lars shall be fixed by law, soas not to vary in the discretion of the Secretary of War; Third, every drafted man skall pay #300; and it he have an income over $600 pro rata, according to income ; over $600 and not over $2,000, ten per cent.; over $2,000 and not over $5,000, twenty per cent.; and over $5,000, thirty per cent. He explained the object of the amendment, which ‘was to equalize the burden of the dratt. After the reading of the amendment, a debate ensued, in which Messrs. Sumner, Clarke, Pcmeroy, Collomer, Lane, Wilson and Cowan took part. Without taking any question, the Senate went into an executive session, and soon afterward adjourned till Monday. LOCAL NEwWs.
