I continued to recerve companies until wo had raised twenty three regiments in ivania, all of which have mustered into the service of the United States. In this anticipation | was not mistaken. On Saturday last an additional requisition was made upon me for twepty-ilve regiments of infantry and one regiment of cavalry : and there have beea Jy more companies tondered than wili make up the entire complement. Be fore the regiments could be clothed, three of them were orcered by the national government to proceed from this point to PI lelphia. I cannot too highly commend the patriotism and devotion of the men who, at a moment warning, and without any preparation, obeyed the order. Three of the by piace under similar circumstances, by direction of, and accompanied by officere of the United States Army, were transported to Cockeysville, near Bal- timore, at which point they remained for two days, and until by directions of the general government they were ordered back and went into camp at York, where there are now Sve regiments. Three iments mustered into rervice are pow encamped at Chambersburg, under ocdera from the general government, and five regiments ‘are now in camp at this plece, and seven have been or. ganized and mustered into service at Philadelphia. The regiments at this place are st!ll supplied by the Commis- gary Department of the State. Their quartere are as comfortable as could be expected, their supply of provi- si ns abundant, and, under tle instructions of competent ofticers, they are rapidly improving in military knowledge and fkill. I have made arrangements to clothe ali our regiments with the utmort despatch consistent with a pro- per economy, and am moat happy to say that be’ore the close of the present week all our people now under arms will be abundantly supplied with good and appropriate uniforms, blankets and other clothing. Four hundred and sixty of our volunteers, the first to reach Washington from sny of the States, are now at that city. Thess ure now previded for by the general government; but I design to send them’ clothing at the earliest posaible opportunity. Iam glad to be able to state that theee men, in their progress to the national capitel, received no bodily injury, although they were sudjected to insult in the city of Ba'timore, such ag should not have been offered to any law-abiding citizen, much less to leyal men, who, at the call of the Preeident had promptly lefi their own State in the performance of the highest duty and in the service of their couctry. A large body of unarmed men, who were not at the time organ- ized ag a portion of the militia of this Commonwealth, uncer the command of officers without commissions, attempted uncer the call of the national government, us lunderstand, to reach bo eo and were a sanited by armed men inthe city of more, many of their number were eeriovsly wounded, and four were killed. The larger part of this body returned directly to Phila- delpbia; but many of them were rorcilgly detained in Baitimore; some of them were thrust into prison, and others baye vot vet reached their homes. I have the honor te say that che oilivers and men belaved with the utmost gallantry. This body is now orgauized intoa regiment, and tbe officers are commissionod; they have been accepted into the service, and will go to Washington by any route indicated by the federal government. 1 bave cstablished « camp at Pitteburg, at which the troops from Western Pennsylvania will be mustered into service, organized and disciplined by skillful and experienced offl- cers. I communicaic to you with great satisfaction the fact that the banks of Commonwealth have yol- uptarily tendered apy amount of money that may be neceseary for the common defence and general welfare of the Staté and the nation in this emergency; and the tem. rary lown of five hundred thousand doll authorized y the act of the Geveral Assembly of the 17th April, 1861, wes promptly taken at par. The money is not yet exbaveted. As it hag been impossible to have the ac- counts properly audited and settled with the accounting and paying officers of the goverrment, as required by law, an account of this expenditure cannot now be fur- nished. The Auditor General and State Treasurer have establisbed a system of settlement and i omgrtly | which I entirely approve, that provides amp! ‘a for the protec. tion of the State, and to which all parties having claims will be obliged to conform. JT recommend the immediate organization ooning apd erming of at least fifteen regiments of cavalry infantry, exclusive of those called into the service of the Lanited States. As we have already ample warning of the neceseity of being prepared for any sudden exigency that mag arise, I cannot too much impress this upon you, NEW JERSEY. EXTRACT FROM THE MESSAGE OF GOV.

The condition of the country renders it important that the Legislatore make timely provision for such exigencies a@ may ovcur.

The States of New York and Penneyivania baying a common intercet with us in this defence, would conbtlesa, if necoesary co-operate with New Jersey.

A fine body of men, to the number of eighty-six, ar- rived from Albany in the steamboat New World yester- day morning, between sim and seven o'clock. On their departure from Albany they were enthusiastically cheered and escorted to the boat by large number of the firemen of that city. They are a detachment of the Twenty-ffth regiment, which is now quartered in Wash- ington, and are apxiously awaiting orders to join the main bedy at the seat of war. On their arrival in this city they marched wo the City Hall Park, where they pow remain tn barracks. At noon they went through some military manwuvres in the Park, a large crowd beirg congregated to witness their movements, ‘The dreas adopted by the corps is quite simple and com- fortable, and they are fully armed ani equipped. Tae men seem to possess the nerve and sinew of true roldiers, and Alhany may be proud of those hardy sons she sends forth to fight the batties of the country. Their trip from Albany to this city was quite a plessant one in every respect, abd they express themselves bigbly grati- fed with the treatment they received on board the New World. The barracks in ‘he Park seem to agree well with the Albany men, as during yesterday they lounged around leisurely on the grass and converged in quite a sociable manner with the New Yorkers who sat around the Park. The officers of the company stay at the Astor House. The follewing officers command the corpa:— Captain, Hale Kingsley; First Lieutenant, James C. Cook ; Second Lieutenant, Mahoney ; Orderly 3er- sect Henry C. Haskell; Second Sergeant, James 0. isecher; Third Sergeant, Thomas Pedlow; Fourth Ser- geant, Nicholas M.

The Second regiment, New York State Militia, Colonel Tompkins, paraded yesterday, previous to their encamp- ment on the Battery to-day. The special order an- bouncing the parade provided that the oifcers and mom- bere of the regiment should assemble in their respective company drill rooms yesterday morning, at nine o'ck for regimental drill, the fle'd and staff officers mounted, to report to the Colonel in the Armory at the same time; and the commandants, with their companies, together with the non-commissioned stai! and drum corps, to re port to tho Acjutant, at Tompkins square, at a later hour—ail to be there at ten o’clock A.M. The officers re- ported to the Coloncl in accordance with the require. ments of the epecial orcer; but, in consequence of the unfavorable condition of the weather, the regimental parade was postponed until the afternoon. At one 0'¢:ock .M. the regiment, by companies, proceeded in front of the armory, in Seventh street, to Tompkins aquare, where the line was formed. The men appeared in fatigus dress, without knapsscks or overcoats. A large crowd co!- Jected around the square, and witnessed, apparently with with unusual interest, every movement of the regiment. feveral showers fell during the course of the afternoon, on account of which various field macuvres were dis ne with—eo that the entire wctics embraced in & full regimental drill were not completad. After executhg number of evolutions, the regimental lipe was formed inside the square, and the Lattalion took up the line of march. Preceted by a pioneer corps, five in number, came the twenty drum mers, in their scarlet coats, followed by the engineer corps, numbering twenty five members, under command of Captain and Licutenant Vanderpoai, bearing 4 beautiful banner, which had heen presented to them on the previous evening. Next marched the howitzer corps, also numbering twouty five, with some of their guns, followed by the stail and field officers and men, in ull to the number of a thousand. In this order the’ regiment marched through St. Mark’s piace to and up Broadway to Fourteenth street, to Fifth avenue, down to Fighth street end thence back to the armory. ‘All along the line of march the regiment, completely uniformed and equipped, and manifesting upmistakeable evidences of the inces” eant labors of the ollicers in its discipline, elicited univer sal admiration, After returning to the armory, where the regiment is quartosed, and where certain orders were issued for the morrow, the line was dismissed.

Thie regiment, which is composed sltogether of Ger- mans, was first organized on the Sth of last January by experienced oflicers who saw some bard service in Poland, Hungary, Schleswig Holstein and Greeoo. The regiment is now full, and mustered in the United States service. From the organization of the regiment up lo the time it was admitted into the United States service, the men have been liberally supported by their officers.

THE SEVENTY-NINTH RE@IMENT, In commen with the remaining New York regiments, fee) deeply aggrieved at the action of the Military Board {m countermanding the orders for their departure to Washington. The members have been taken from their employment, and no pecuniary remuneration given them in the meantime—thus causing great inconvenience to themeelves and families. Night and day they have de- yoted their time to drilling and disciplining themeslves for active service, and were highly enthusiastic to pro- ceed to the ecene of action; but the reeent order has thrown cold water on their ardor, and ren tered them very very indignant. A meeting of the Board of Officers of the Seventy ninth regiment was held yesterday, at which regolntions were adopted expressive of their senti- ments in regard to the matter, and recommending appli- cation to the Secretary of War, by the regiments remain- ing in the city, for the acoeptance of their services, in case the Governor does not deem it expsdient to order cut apy more of the militia for the service of the general government.
