The newly elected Governor of Pennsylvania; Andrew G. Curtin, was: inaugurated on the 15th of January, 1861, and his address on that occasion resounded with the ring of the true metal of loyalty and positiveness of character, which he displayed throughout the war that ensued. He counseled forbearanced of Governor Hicks, in Maryland. In another series of resolutions, passed on the 24th, it severely rebuked the conduct of the South Carolinians; declared that the Constitution gave the Government full power to maintain its authority, and Andrew G.

The Governor promptly responded to the call, but the Secretary of War, even when the term of the three months men was half exhausted, declined to receive any more regiments.
