PELHAjVI, STATE PRINTER. 1863, REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL TO THE LEGISLATURE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 1ST OYEMBER, 1863. REPORT. To the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina : The Comptroller General respectfully submits for the consideration of your honorable bodies the Annual Ileport from his department, containing statements and exhibits of the transactions of his office, and of the Trea- suries of the Upper and Lower Divisions, during the fiscal year ending 30th September, 1863. Nos. 1 and 2 are Exhibits of the receipts and payments at the Treasuries of the two Divisions, from the 1st of October, 1862, to the 1st of October, 1863, with vouchers for payments stated. No 3 is a consolidated Statement of the preceding Exhibits. Nos. 4 and 5 are Exhibits of the taxable property returned by the Tax Collectors of the Upper and Lower Divisions, for the year ending 30th September, 1863, with the tax levied thereon. No. 6 is a recapitulation of the two preceding Exhibits, showing the aggregate returns of the two Divisions, and the aggregate taxes thereon. Nos. 7 and 8 are Statements of the taxes collected for the purpose of supporting the police of the several Districts and Parishes. No. 9 is a Statement of Annuities paid since September 30, 1862. No. 10 is the Annual Report of the Treasurer of the Lower Division relative to the Sinking Fund. No. 11 is a "Statement of the amounts of the Bonds of the Tax Collcc- tors in the several Districts and Parishes for the collection of the State and Confederate Taxes." No. 12 is a Statement "showing total amount of Commissions received by the Tax Collectors," and the rate per centum of the same. No. 13 is an Estimate of ordinary supplies for the support of Government for the year commencing 30th September, 1863. No. 14 is a Statement of the Debtors and Creditors of the State on the 30th September, 1863. No. 15 is an abstract of the same. 6 No. 16 is a Statement of Balances of Appropriations undrawn on the 1st of October, 1863. The aggregate of the General Taxes for both Divisions amounts to eight hundred and four thousand four hundred and eighteen dollars and thirteen cents (.$804,418 13), which is a decrease of fifty-three thousand seven hundred and forty-eight dollars and ninety-seven cents, ($53,748 97,) as compared with the aggregate of 1862. This decrease is mainly owing to the invasion of the Parishes of Prince George, Winyah, St. Helena, and portions of St. John's, Colleton, and St. Luke's, by the enemy, which pre- vented any collection of taxes being made within these limits. Reference to Exhibit No. 6, will show the amounts raised upon the several subjects of taxation in both Divisions. CLAIMS AGAINST THE CONFEDERATE STATES. The. amount reported as having been received on this account, viz : $161,104 52, may require some explanation : On 26th March last, the draft of the Treasurer of the Confederate States in favor of the State Treasurer, was received by that officer, and was placed to the credit of the Confederate Government. The amount of this draft, which was paid by the Assistant Treasurer at Charleston, was...$158,604 52 From a communication very recently received from the Treasurer of the Confederate States, in reply to a letter of inquiry on the subject, it appears that the above draft was issued in satisfaction of certain claims on the follow- ing special accounts, viz : Supplies for Quartermaster's Department $1,521 80 Clothing for Troops 148,008 42 Fuel for Troops and Hospitals :6,388 65 Medical and Hospital Department 2,675 65 $158,604 52 The remaining portion of the amount reported to the credit of the Confederate Government, viz., $2,500, was received through James Tupper, Esq., Auditor, as proceeds of sale of the schooner Howell Cobb, under an agreement... 2,500 00 $161,104 52 i CONFEDERATE WAR TAX. The War Tax collected from Tax Payers of this State, under Act, 1861, since 1st October, 1862 , is $510,335 13 This sum added to the receipts to October 1, 1862, (already reported), viz : 1,231,570 30 Makes total Receipts $1,741,905 43 From proceeds of this Tax, the Bank of the State has, in pursuance of the provisions of Actj 1861, been reim- bursed for its advance to the Confederate Government on account of this Tax, viz : in full for the principal of said advance $1,651,528 55 And in full for the interest on the loan at the rate of 3 per cent .$22,818 29 1,674,346 84 $67,558 59 The sum of $9,732 09 has also been refunded to the citizens of St. John's, Colleton, under the Act authorizing the same, and for claims for Taxes allowed in December last 9,732 09 Balance of Cash from said proceeds now in Treasury $57,826 50 No applications have been made from the Parishes of St. Andrew's, St- James,' Santee, All Saints, and St. Luke's, and no portions of the Tax paid in said Parishes have, therefore, been refunded, as authorized by Act, February, 1863. For further information respecting the transactions relating to the Con- federate War Tax of 1861, the Comptroller General would beg leave to refer to the President of the Bank of the State, and the Treasurer of the Lower Division, in whose charge the whole matter was originally placed by the Act of the Legislature. AID TO THE FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS. Unddr the provisions of " An Act to make appropriations in aid of the families of soldiers," ratified 18th December last, the Comptroller General and Treasurers duly apportioned the sum of six hundred thousand dollars, appropriated by said Act, " upon the basis" of the white population of the several Election Districts, as ascertained by the last census (1859) taken in this State." 8 The following is the apportionment: Abbeville 02 Anderson 28,080 57 Barnwell 24,988 16 Chester 14,452 80 Chesterfield 14,979 96 Clarendon 8,391 44 Darlington 19,922 33 Edgefield 30,246 04 Fairfield 14,358 74 Greenville 33,005 30 Kershaw '••• 10,794 04^ Lancaster 12,685 15 Laurens 20,870 83 Lexington..... 17,100 36 Marlboro' 10,112 06 Newberry 13,759 07 Orange 11,450 54 Pickens 29,611 10 Bichland 14,007 95 Spartanburg 37,573 37 Sumter 12,402 95 St. Matthews' 3,858 65 Union ..16,583 00 York - ; 24,743 20 All Saints' .,2,422 19 Christ Church ....,* ..1,965 58 Horry 11,223 21 Marion - 22,450 35 Prince William's 3,503 95 Prince George, Winyah 5,397 02 St. Andrew's , 830 91 St. Bartholomew's ,10,815 60 St. George, Dorchester 4,636 65 St. James', Goose Creek 3,711 68 St. James', Santee 958 29 St. John's, Berkley , 2,302 65 St. John's, Colleton 1,250 29 St. Helena 2,492 74 St. Luke's 2,902 32 9 St. Paul's 2,032 21 St. Peter's 3,846 89 St. Philip and St. Michael's 59,512 23 St. Stephen's i 1,403 15 St. Thomas' and St. Dennis' 529 12 Williamsburg w...: - 9,855 84 $600,000 00 The several Boards o.f Belief have drawn for three-quarters, up to the first of October last, and in other respects complied ,with the law.

STOCK IN THE CHARLOTTE AND SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL- ROAD COMPANY. By joint Resolution of 30th January last, the Comptroller General was instructed to transfer to the Bank of the State of South Carolina, "so mueh'of the Stock in the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad Company belonging to the State, as will suffice to pfiy the sum of one hundred and ninety-seven thousand six'hundred and ninety-one dollars and twenty-two cents, advanced by said Bank, for the subscription of the State to the said Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad Company," It was found, however, by Act of December, 1852, 2,028 shares held by the State in said Railroad had been transferred to said Bank in lieu of shares held by the State in the South Carolina Railroad Company and South-Western Rail- road Bank, which had been pledged to the Bank Of the State of South Carolina by Act, December, 1850, and that in January last there was, in fact, only forty-two thousand dollars of Stock in the Charlotte Railroad Company in the name of the State. Besides, the stock during the present year has been selling much abovp par, nnd the Comptroller General did not feel authorized by tbp terms of the Resolution to make a settlement in which the Stock should be credited only at par. On the other hand, the Bank declined tp accept the Stock but at par, and the matter has been suspended for further instructions from .the Legislature. NEW STATE" CAPITOL. The Report of Major John R. Niernsee, Acting Commissioner and Architect of the New State Capitol, made to this department at the close of the fiscal year, is herewith submitted.

The Certificates and the Coupons also, condition that the interest and principal will be paid at the Treasury, and there are good reasons that this condition should be complied with. SINKING FUND. It appears from the Report of the Treasurer of the Lower Division, herewith submitted, that the Bank of the State has passed to the credit of the Sinking Fund, as its nett ptofits for the last fiscal year : $522,427 63 20 After paying the interest on the 3 per cent. Stock, and pto- viding for the 1st and 2d instalments of the loan, of 1860, falling due June, 1862 and 1863, in accordance with resolution of January 80th, 1863, the balance of the Sinking Fund in favor of the State on 1st October; 1863, was .;v 2,506,133 21. The Funded Debt of the State now outstanding, for which the Sinking Fund and the profits of the Bank are .specifi- cally pledged, are: 1st. 6 per cent. .Stock Fire Loan, issued,-.under Act of June; 1838... .!?.....v.;./;:-$318,1£9 35: 2d. 5 per cent: Bonds, payable in Londoh; ' ' - issued under same Act..;...;...-.. J:,........ 484,444 51 -A. $802,603. 86* 3d. The interest on the 3 per cent: State Stock, amounting- annually to..... ........1,322 36- The large increase of this Fund,-suggest^ the/propriety of applying a portion of the same to the extinguishment of the Lpans np.w maturing-, especially the 6 per cent. Bonds gof I860; the third instalment of which issue ($100,000) -falls due' in June, 1864, "and the last in June, 1865. The present condition of the Sinking Fund will, it is thought,, 'enable the Legislature to provide fbr any extraordinary demands upon its .finances, without resorting to an increase of taxation.- ■ ^ The adoption of this policy seems to be imperatively demanded by the stringency of the times, and especially in view of the inevitable necessity of heavy, direct taxation by-the Cphfederate Government.

Blue Ridge Railroad Company. f State of South Carolina.$l,3T0,000 | City of Charleston.......1,049,000 Capital Stock subscribled : sequently created, have, not been charged upon the income of the Bank, nor has the interest on' said debt been charged upon the income or capital of the Bank. It hsts been the policy of the Legislature to provide for the payment of the interest, by taxation, and to charge the payment of the principal of the debt upon the Bank/ (The interest on the Stock created to pay subscription to the. Blue Ridge Railroad js excepted from that arrangement). It would, therefore, seem unnecessary that the separate designation of the Sinking Fupd should be continued, and we would re- commend that it be united with the Capital of the Bank, to which it sub- stantially, belongs; Tim Fire Loan Fund has also been kept separate on the Books of the Bank. This Fund, however,, is a part of thd Bank Capital, made so by gxpress enactment, and tvould be incorporated with the other portion of the Bank Capital, when the keeping apart of the Sinking Fund is discontinued. .Respectfully sumbitted. ^ C.

WARING, Cashier. FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CENTRAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF SO. CAROLINA SOLDIERS. IIE P OIIT. To the Honorable the "Senate, and House of Representatives of the $tate of South Carolinq,: The undersigned begs leave most respectfully- to make the first annual Report of the " Central Association for the, relief of South Carolina Sol- diers." • ' From the commencement of the present struggle for independence, the soldiers of our army have been subjected to peculiar,trials. Never, perhaps, in the history of nations, has a war of such great dimensions, and,p*egnant with such important consequences to the human. race, been entered upon with so little preparation. "Without the munitions of War, without money r with inadequate supplies of every thing which the exigency demanded," the infant government waSj powerless, without the co-operation of the peoples of the several States. It was, indeed^ their struggle, and while they who were able to bear arms rushed to the field to mpet the bosts who were seeking our destruction, the private citizen, the men and the women at home, with a devotion not less'significant, felt that it was their duty to make every, possible effort-to meet the wants of the army. Under these circumstances, and with these convictions, the citizens of Golumbia, at a public meeting October 8th, 1862, passed a series of resolutions, of which it is Only neces- sary here to say, that among them was one for the appointment of a com- inittbe of thirteen to devise some plan by which "relief may bo provided, and sent on to our suffering soldiers in the most practicable form, and with the least possible delay." At an adjourned meeting, the Committee made its Report, which was adopted- Among its recommendations was one for the appointment of a Central Committee. The following gentlemen were appointed: • Chairman—Dr. M. LaBorde, Hon. John Townsend, Rev. Dr. Palmer, Rev. William Martin, Dr. R. W. Gibbes, Sen., Dr. John Fisher, Hon. W. F. DeSaussure, Rev. P. J. Shand, John A. .Crawford, Esq., E. L. Kerri- ion, Esq., and H. C. Bronson, Esq. The Committee had its first meeting October 22d, and plenary powers cere given it to carry out the objects of the meeting. The name "Central 1)4 Association for the Relief of South Carolina Soldiers," was adopted, and the following gentlemen were appointed to the offices respectively mention- ed: H. C. Bronson, Secretary; Dr. John Fisher, Treasurer; Rev. William Martin, Superintendent. Measures were at once taken to procure clothing for the soldiers, a suitable warehouse, and to ascertain the special wants of each Regiment from the State. A circular letter was addressed to the officers in command, and E. J. Scott, Esq., now a member of this Board, was sent to the troops in charge of it, with instructions to'examine person, ally into the wants, and report fully upon his return. The report was elaborate, and aided US very materially in shaping pur operations at that j period. Various Committees were appointed, and different departments of 'labor assigned them, with the view of insuring system and efficiency. A considerable sum of* money was at once placed at the disposal of' the Asst. ciation by the voluntary contributions of the citizens of Columbia and Richland, and further contributions in fnoney and supplies were asked through the medium of-the newspapers, from the people of the. State The District Relief Associations were* invited to co-operate with us. No: was the appeal to the people of the StUte in vain. Money and supplies soot begaft to flow in from every point, and in a short time our funds Were muc: increased, and our'Bureau was full of boxes' and packages for the army At this period we were enabled to purchase on advantageous terms from tl Quartermaster (General of the State, a large lot of blankets, which wei much needed by oiieof the Carolina brigades in Virginia. In addition t this, we' were -fortunate enough to' procure $12 tofl5,000 Worth of shoe and materials for clothing. Upon application, the Presidents of all tl Railroads in the State, except one, the Wilmington and Manchester, gene: ously gave free transportation to all the supplies sent to the Bureau, and tl G-overnment forwarded them to the army. A day was now* advertised f: making our first shipment^ and the District Associations, and all person having anything to forward, were invited to avaii themselves of the oppc tnnity. As in the foi'mcr experience of Relief Associations and individual the usual railroad transportation had been attended with great loss, it v determined to place the car in charge of a special agent, who was instruct to travel with it, and to deliver the packages in person to the particu! command for which they were, designed. He was further required to ma- a written report to the Bureau, oti his return. Encouraged by the succt which thus far attended our labours, and finding from the reports of c army agents, and the frequent applications for aid, that the field was wid even, than was anticipated, the Association, not distrusting the generc feelings of the Legislature and the people, determined upon a lar; expenditure, even though it should be attended with personal loss. I ur> demands of our soldiers were most urgent, find particularly for shoes, which could not be procured in sufficient number from the government. A con- tract was made for shoes at $7.50 per pair, to the extent of $31,600, and $3,000 worth were purchased in addition. It was now truly felt that the work was a mighty one; that it must go on; that it Was no'ldnger proper to depend entirely upon private generosity, and! that the Geiieral Assembly must come to the help of Ler suffering and' gallant soldiers. .Tt was, therefore, resolved to memorialize, 'the Legislature for an appropriation of $200,000, to- meet any future ' emergency of our soldiers, in regard to clothing, during the* coming year. The Asso- ciation was now the agent of transportation' for- every neighborhood in the State. From the earliest period it was determined to establish a Depot at Richmond, and upon the offer of Rev. R. W. Barnwell, Superintendent of the South Carolina Hospital Association, the agency Was assigned him, and our packages stored in h;s large and commodious ware- house on the following conditions : that/he eharge no rent for the house, that the Association pay for all • alterations in the building and premises which circumstances may render necessary; that it pay also for the addi- tional service which may be required, and meet also the expenses of agents, including hoard at. the Bureau, expenses for travelling, and a salary for some of them. The successful application to the! Legislature enabled us to pay off our debt, ancf left us in possession of - a. large fund. The organi- zation was nbw complete, supplies were coming ,iri day by day to be for- warded, >and our enlarged means enabled us to mate valuable purchases. Our shipments to the Army were rapidly increasing, and amid some diffi- culties and perplexities, we had the satisfaction of knowing that we were not working in vain. The unfortunate death, of Mr. Barnwell', in June, made new arrangements necessary, and Mr. Kerrison, a member of the Association, by request, visited Richmond, with instructions to look into its affairs, and particularly in connection with the Bureau lately superin- tended by Mr. B., and report accordingly. It was ihade' apparent that the Association must have a Bureau of its own, and subject to its own control. Establishment of a Bureau and Wayside Home at Richmond, by the Cen- tral Association.—The suffering and destitution of our men on their passage through Richmond were known to all who visited that city, and the Associ- ation believed that it was its duty to do every thing in its power to afford relief. The soldiers were compelled to give nearly a month's pay for food and lodging for a single day, or to remain in the streets tormented by hunger; or, what is worse, to seek shelter in some improper place. Here was something to touch the coldest heart. The father and the son who had gallantly shared in the bloodiest and most fiercely contested conflicts of 90 modern times, were now on tlieir way to see once more the dear ones at home, or after a brief furlough, were returning to the camp, again to meet the foe in deadly strife, and vindicate afresh the courage and devotion of our countrymen. Surely the people of the State would see to it that these noble men, their gallant representatives, should not thus suffer for food and shelter. The appropriation of the Legislature was for furnishing shoes, blankets, and clothing. The difficulty presented to the Association was found in the diversion of a ' poition of the fund to a purpose not contern- plated by the Legislature. A conference was had with th'e Governor, and without assuming authority in the matter, be expressed his hearty approval, and advised the establishment of, a Home. The Chairfnan was now des- patched to Richmond, with full power to establish a Bureau and Home, and to forward the necessary supplies1 to the Wounded in the recent battles in Pennsylvania. A portion'of the Exchange Hotel, embracing'ample acconi. modations both tor 4he Bureau and Home; was rented, and placed under tide charge of G. H. McMaster, Esq., assisted'by his lady. Arrangements were made with the Government, tor the regular issue of rations, and all necessary steps taken to place it-at once in operation. The establishment of the Home was received, with joy by the Army and the people of the State, and imparted a new impulse to. the public generosity. Large dona- tions of supplies were -made by many .of our citizens, and the Governor permitted us to draw largely from-the commissary stores of the State at cost; It is gratifying to kno.w that the Soldier from Carolina is now provided for at Richmond j that upon his arrival he repairs . to the Home, where he gets his meal of good, nutritious food^ and, a clean bed o'n which to rest his weary limbs. It may be added in further vindication of the. measure, that Georgia and North Carolina had preceded us in the work; that both had provided Homes for their soldiers, and that the. former^ ^particularly, was on a scale to meet all the possible wants of her soldiers, and most honorable to that noble and patriotic State, ^he facts, too, that the South Carolina Home has one of the moat eligible locations in the city, and "that it was established at less cost than thq Georgia, are worthy .of mention. The battle of Gettysburg ' was fought shortly before I reached- Richmond, and I need not tell your Honorable body of the heroism of Carolina's sons, and of the bloody sacrifice which she then offered. Immediately on my arrival, I organized a corps of six men with Mr. Price at their head, and despatched it with supplies for the sick and wounded. A considerable number had reached Staunton, and there our messengers laboured with great fidelity and success. They were the first from the State to meet them, and to givt the assurauce of her sympathy, her pride, and her watchful care. Th transfer of the larger portion of our troops to Georgia, and the imminence !)7 of a terrible conflict, made it necessary that we direct our attention to that point, and our Army Agent, Mr. P. Price, was ordered, at the meeting of September 16th, to repair immediately to Atlanta, with authority to engage the requisite number of wards in some hospital at Atlanta, and a depot for our supplies and for the baggage of our soldiers. Some of our agents in Virginia were ordered to report to Mr. Price, at Atlanta, and others were added to make a corps of eight, and were assigned to duty in this field Special messengers were sent to Richmond, for the baggage belonging to the brigades of Generals Kershaw and Jenkins, with the view of forwarding it to them. By authority of the Quartermaster General, the Association also instructed its agents to gather all the unclaimed baggage, and all which could not be delivered in Virginia, belonging to the South Carolina troops, and bring it to the ^Bureau in Columbia. This baggage was deposited at various places in Richmond, and had been accumulating since 1861. Much of it was without any address, and no little belonged to the dead. Five hundred trunks and packages have already been received, and many more are expected. The purpose of the Association is to restore them to the owners, as far as possible, and to this end they have been advertised. Some have already been claimed, but for a larger number the owners will never be found. These will be put ;n our general store of supplies, and distributed to our soldiers. Among them are many articles of clothing which cannot now be procured. The Association cannot but congratulate itself on the success of a work which has saved for the soldiers a large quantity of sup- plies, which otherwise would have been lost. The estimated value of them is probably not less than $40,000. Mr. Price established his Depot at At- lanta, and shipments were immediately made to him of food, clothing, and stimulants. Our agents promptly repaired to the battlefield, and ministered to hundreds of the wounded. We have the satisfaction of believing that, under God, many owe their liyes to them. To give the refreshing draught to the panting soldier, as he lay weltering in his blood.; to take charge of him in the ambulance and the car, on his way to the hospital, and thus to soothe him with the tenderness of a parent's love; to point him to heaven and invoke the blessing of an all merciful God; these were the kindly offices of the messengers whom we sent to Carolina's noble children, now racked by pain and convulsed by agony, for the sake of her honor and her glory. Dr. R. W. Gibbes, Sr., a member of the Association, by instruction pro- ceeded to Atlanta and thence to the army, to establish, if practicable, a depot and home at some convenient point, and report fully upon the condi- tion of our soldiers. Upon bis return, he gave much interesting informa- tion, but advised against the establishment of a special home for South Carolina soldiers, on the ground mainly that the State of Georgia had one 13 :)8 in operation at Atlanta, which received tlie troops from all the States, and that such an establishment at present was impracticable. Thus matters now stand with respect to our troops in Georgia. In the mean time, there is an unprecedented pressure 'for shoes, hats, blankets and socks, at every point, and for food at Chickamauga, and the Association is earnestly Appeal- ing to the people of the State, and its cars are ever on the roads to Atlanta, Richmond, and our coast. Shipments, estimated value, and issues from the Bureau. The number of shipments from the commencement of our' operations amount to twenty-six. Of these, fifteen have been made to Virginia, seven to Georgia, and four to our coast, making in all two thousand four hundred and one packages. The total valde is $185,378 44, of which sum, $65,468 24 were contributed by individuals and societies, and $119,904 70 by the Association; that is, the articles forwarded being purchased by it, or manufactured from material furnished by it. In addition^ articles to the amount of $46,416 have been issued at, the Bureau-without charge. And in no way, perhaps, has greater good been ddne than by thus giting em- ployment to hundreds of needy women. "While it furnished us with certain articles of prime necessity Which could not otherwise be procured, it, at the same time, gave bread to many who would have suffered without it. And I must take occasion here' to allude to the patriotism of the ladies of Co- lumbia, who toiled day arid night, and thus added largely to oUr efficieiicy. Our system of transportation furnished all possible security, and perhaps none could be devised and carried out with less loss. It may be true that certain packages never reached the persons to Whom they were addressed, but when they are delivered by our messengers to the persons appointed by the regiments or brigades to receive them, out responsibility is at an end. The losses of our agents, with the exception of one shipment, when our messengers were arrested on their way to the army by military order, have not exceeded a half dozen small packages. For their diligence and care they are entitled to the thahks of the people of the State. They have toiled day and night, frequently on foot, in mud and raih, in heat and cold; with a cheerfulness that never failed, dnd a devotion that never faltered. And more especially would I distinguish Messrs. Price, Pickle, Palmer, Ham- mond, Beard, the Rev. Mr. Stewart, chaplain of the Home, and the Rev. Mr Simpson. Others have rendered occasional service, for which the thanks of the Association are due. I would beg leave respectfully to refer to the reports of the Rev. Mr. Martin, Superintendent of the Bureau at Columbia, Mr. McMaster, Super- intendent at PJchmond, Mr. Price Army Agent, and Dr. John Fisher, Treasurer. The accounts herewith submitted will show the following balances of cash on hand, viz: With Dr. Fisher, Treasurer, on 15th inst $08,021 81 With Mr. Martin, u 88 50 With Mr. McMast.er, « 240 59 With Mr. Price, on 31st ult..., 250 80 Tn the aggregate .*. $08,601 20 all of which and more will be required to pay for supplies bought, but not yet delivered. In addition to these cash balances, there is now in the bureau, clothing, wooden, blankets, &c., which cost $18,597, a part of which will be sentoff next week. We have also hides, leather, and other mate- rials, in the hands of tanners, shoemakers and others, for manufacture into shoes and garments, for which we have paid $33,525, making the entire balance on hand in money and supplies, $120,723 20. But requisitions have already been made that will require more than what remains in hand. I cannot suffer the occasion to pas's without paying a passing tribute to the memory of II. C. Bronson, our late Secretary, who, with my other asso- ciates, always exhibited a eeal and energy worthy of all praise. In closing this report, I may be permitted to express my deep sense of the nature of the work in which we are engaged, and its heavy responsibilities. But whatever may have been the labors, the trials.and the exactions of such a service, there is already foreshadowed ■ for the ensuing year a far larger field for exertion. The Association has now had the experience of a twelve month, and thinking that its opinion may be of some value to your Honor- able body, would respectfully suggest that not less • than - five hundred thousand dollars will be' necessary to conduct operations upon the scale presented in this report. Though our armies have fought as men never fought before, and more than equalled the most renowned examples of Boman or Spartan valor—• though time after time they have driven back the countless hosts that invaded our territory, still the struggle is raging with increased and in- creasing fury, and none can see the period of its termination. South Carolina, true to herself and the noble cause which she was the first to vindicate, will prove worthy of her ancient renown. Her men and her women are prepared for every sacrifice; and valuing above all price the heritage of their fathers, will, in the language yf their own Mr. Duffie, " cling to the pillars of the temple of their liberties, and if it must fall, perish amid the ruins " M. LaBOKDE, Chairman Central Association. 100 o oo o o o o O O O © rH «500>0 W iO O TH H OOONN COQOO T"^ CO GO 1^- <£> d <» •e 3 00 ^ a - S*«8 (£ <©" oiVf »cf © © rH *0> '9 a .ft 0 g.-~ o 3 H . *K o5 v* r-j > © ^ o,o *1* a 2 o 2^« «w *• ~ 3 3^ P yj 00-5 •.3 *» ® sag :2:2 S, o o ?1 i 3 » el c w ' 1.2 § .2 I -4t3 ^3 ' 3^ =* > ^ pQ 1 "E "3 "C ■P 55 43 ' P IT} > o S o 1 « m p I n C! 1 a t § ?!CQ § *2 »H N S M JS »s» £ 'S O-P-O ■|2^ «.S JJ «M «5 O ^ ^ O C5 ®t.O PJ rP r^'M A*®.* -1 o d o a a a a oog 43^5 £ £ *3 *3 'o 000 000 fH hi ?H 00 o. » CO - — O » » H S « 3 A 3^ gtz 3 3 «S r-® id tar £ S 10 >0 © © © © 1 © r}< t- © © © CO © 00 (M W5 © £0 © I © - O 1—1 iO I © »0 & m o a «8 &1 ® ® g?.

These hands haVe qyarHed, during the year, 9,562 cubic feet of dimension stone" of Various si^es, but princi- pally in large blocks for thd basement'piers of the Northern portico. The large mass of rock, which we originally intended for the completion of the porticos, turning out to be full of seams and discolor, I was obliged to un- caver a new part of the quarry, for the purpose of obtaining the requisite 110 quantity of finely colored and faultless granite, which it is desirable, nay indispensable, to procure.,for the finish of the upper and most conspicuous parts of the two great porticos, and this new portion of. the quarry promises to turn out well for that purpose. Owing to the much advanced prices of all th^ necessaries of living, I have been unable tc hire the requisite nurpber of hands (from 100 to -130,) at the old rates, and if yo'ur dionorable body should determine to continue the work of quartying, it will be necessary to pay for good hands at the rate of $30 per month and feed them. ^ The firm of Sisson & Dougherty have completed the execution of their contract for the granite capitals during the past year. ' They have also pro- duced finished marble work to >tbe value of $52,326 50, in Superior style, and to the entire satisfaction of Architect. • They employed, on tbffir contract, 1 foreman," 2 tool sharpeners^ 27 • -marble cutters, 7 rubbers and polishers, 1 engine man and 8 negro laborers, making p total of 46, hands employed on their work on an average during .the'year. Owing to the exigency of the war, the contractors for the, marble, 'work have fallen pff much in their capacity for producing work duripg thipyear; hut their force is now supposed to be reduce'd to a' minimum, so (>that their estimated production of marble work, for the next year, will lay within the compass of $50,000, by which time all the -mayble, now on hand, will be nearly consumed, and the contract, must' then virtually cease for -want of material. * . We have but one carpenter and one black helper, engaged on the yard for repairs of machinery, wagons, tools, &c., used at the quprry. The railroad, as heretofore, is in efficient working order, requiring the care of about three hands during the year. Should the General Assembly determine to continue the partial prosecution of the' work, in the same manner as during the past year, viz: The marblecontract.and qUkrrying of granite, the following estimated means will be required: For the marble contract for 12 months, from January 1st $50,000 Quarrying, hauling, (including the feeding of 120 negroes and 14 mules,) superintend,ence, materials for repair^ of machinery and railroad, rope and, all incidental expenses, at per month of $6,250 1..." $75,000 Total amount necessary t ,$125,000 All of which is hereby, respectfully submitted.

ANDREW, CRAWFORD, Chairman Committee. Of tbe above amounts, $9,300 owing the Asylum, about $3,000 may never be realized, and a large part of the balance owing to the Stay Loan, is very difficult to collect. The Asylum has, in a great measure, been sustained for the past year by Dr. Parker making large advances to purchase supplies, shoes-and cloth- ing, at a time when they were selling far below the present prices. Notwith- standing [that, it was palpable that the Asylum could not "be sustained with- out relief, and the Board of Regents to furnish it, were compelled, through their President, to borrow from the Rank $10,000 to the'present time, and will have to continue to do so, until the Legislature takes some action on the matter. All of which is respectfully submitted," ' • W. H: SMITH, Treasurer. The chaplaincy of a Lunatic asylum, though to me a new field of labor in the Master's vineyard, has not been, as plight be supposed ,by sopie,. either fruitless or .uninteresting. I have felt myself, in some humble and small degree, the representative of the Paraclete or Comforter to these afflicted ones of God's children, andr for my poor 'ministrations, sometimes a passing gleam of grateful intelligence-has proven pay rich reward. Ihaye never felt riiore the need of the knowledge of -winning souls to Chris'L-in the spirit of gentleness; and that I might Allure to holiness, and peabe, and Heaven, the tempest-tossed and troubled ones, within these walls, never have I prayed more earnestly fbr the aid of pivine grace.. . . , . Any one who will observe, f^om time .to time, the effect of religious serviees-and worship on-our congregations ,here, will be convinced that they are in the.highest degree soothing and sanitary—the elucidation" of appropriate Scriptures, the prayers, the music, as# accompanying the praise of God, seem reviving and refreshing tb their. hearts, as. dew and rain to the herbage. „ ♦ . , . . - ' Nothing, has occurred to interrupt the propriety of our worship in the chapel. Everything has been, done ".im decency and in orderr," Tiffs state of things has-been greatly owing, apart from the restraining influence of Divine Grace, to the attention of the officers and attendants of the In- stitution, who are invariably-present at the services of the Sanctuary, and watchfully attentive to the patients while there* To those, thus co-working with me in imparting the consolations of the. Gospel to these .peculiarly afflicted ones—but, above all, to the God of Mercy and Truth, I would return thanks for any small success I may have had in my .very responsible and delicate position,*as Chaplain to this Asylum. VM. MABTTN", ANNUAL REPORT or the BOARD OF VISITORS OF THE S. C. MILITARY ACADEMY, FOR 1863. R E P O R T To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: The Board of Visitors of the State Military-Academy Beg leave to submit the following report: ' . 1 . - - - During the past year, the Beard have'the pleasure tb state, that the discipline of the Academy has been fully maihtained; and that the examinations"at both the institutions have been entirely satisfactory, notwithstanding the ifiany difficulties which the state of the country presented to the full accomplishment of both these objects. On the 10th of July last) ihje- studies in both Institutions were suspended, and the cadets of the'Oitadel Academy, and fifty-two-cadets of the Arsenal Academy, were placed at the disposition of the Commanding General of the Department ,of S6uth Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, and as- signed to special military duty in the city of Charleston.' This state of things continued untiF the 3d of September following, when the, detachment from the Arsenal'was remanded ;to their duties' at that post, although the bddefs Of the Citadel Academy remained in service until the 23d of the' same month. • At the present meeting qf the Board, besides the usual number of State applicants, there wCre three hundred and sfeyenty-fiVe pay ap- plications for admission into the class of the next year; of whom, the Board could only receive twenty-seven- State, and one hundred and fourteen pay cadets. At the last annual meeting of .the Board, a large number of applicants wqre -rejected, on" account of the very limited means at the AreAiaiforthein accommodation; and the Board suggest- ed to your honorable body, .the propriety of*naakjng certain additions to the Arsenal 'buildings at Columbia, which could have accommodated about one hundred.and thirty additional cadets. * This suggestion was approved by your honorable body, and an appropriation of $25,000 was made to'erect the buildrogS, hut, in consequence of the restriction placed upon the appropriation, it could not be drawn, and consequently the buildings were not erected. From' the increased price of labor, and materials, the same improvement could not be made for double idu the tunuuut appropriated lust year, and it may be doubted if the neees- sary materials could now be procured at any price. At the annual meeting of the Board, held on the 28th of November, insfc., there were fifty-seven pay, and twenty-three State cadets at the Ci tadel Academy. Thirty-one pay, and nine State cadets were ordered to be sent from the Arsenal to the Citadel Academy, on the first of January next, making, at present, in the,institution, eighty-eight pay and thirty-two State cadets, besides eleven cadets appointed by the Governor, under a resolution of the General Assembly, passed at the last annual session. There wore appointed at the same time, one hun- dred and fourteen pay and twenty-six State cadets, applicants to enter the Ai 'scn&l .Acucicinj7, Mnd twcntv-oiic pMy MPplicMiits to Gntcr txio fourth class, rising third, at the Citadel Academy, and four cadets under suspension were restored to that academy, so that, on the 1st of' January next, there will be at the Citadel, one hundred and twelve pay, and thirty-three State, cadets; and at the Arsenal, one hundred and fourteen pay, and tliirtv-seven State, cadets; making in the ag- gregate, two hundred and ninety-sits cadets in the Military Academy. The continued increase of prices for clothing and subsistence during the year, has proved a very serious obstacle to the Board in maintain- ing these institutions. From the exhibits furnished the Board by the Superintendents of the two Academies, it appears that the cost of sup- porting a cadet during the ensuing.year, based upon ap estimate of present prices, will amount to $11$. 46, for clothing, and $685 80 for subsistence, when the .sum paid by. the cadet durihg the past year was $400 per annum. As it would bo impossible, therefore, to maintain a cadet in the Academy at the amount heretofore charged, without bringing the institution greatly in debt, the Board, after full advise- inent, have determined; during, fhe existence of the present high prices, to.require parents and guardians, besides furnishing their sons and wards with shoes and certain ^articles of under clothing required during the past year, to pay the sum of $800 per annum. The Board regrets to state, notwithstanding the most judicious economy in the purchase of articles necessary for the support of the institution, aided by the privilege of purchasing many such articles from, the Commissary General of the State, that the fund appropriated by your honorable body, based upon estimates of prices made last year, has not been sufficient; and they- have to report an excess of expenditures over "receipts, at the Citadel Academy, of $13,784 14, and at the Arsenal Academy, of $9,587-43, making, together, the sum 137 of $23,371 57. The Bo'ard respectfully recommend a special appro- priation of that amount to cover the deficit. The annual appropriation of $37,000, after deducting the pay of fourteen officers of the institution, leaves for the support of each State cadet, $251 51. Upon the basis of $800 for the cost of each cadet, the deficiency during the, ensuing .year, for each State cadet, will be $548 49, which, for the whole num,b,er of sixty-six cadets, amounts to $36,200 34, and that, added to the arinual appropriation, will amount to the sum of $78,200. The Board respectfully recommend an annual appropriation of the last named sum, as necessary for the support of the.institution, during the present state of affairs)-.to be increased hereafter as the n,umber appointed' by the Governor, under the reso- lution of the General Assembly, is successively increased, until the maximum, twenty-four, is reached. The following is a condensed Abstract of the receipts arid expendi- tures of the Academy, for the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1863. The accounts and.vouchers of the Purser of the Citadel and Arsenal Academies are herewith transmitted. RECEIPTS.

Ten machines have been ordered; nine to be im- ported jand one to be constructed in, Columbia. The original cost and expenses of tfyose imported amount to £1,285 0 5; of this sum £500— costing $13,333 33—have, been paid out of the appropriation of $20,000. The balance, £785 0 5, has been advanced,by the Bank of the State, at what rate I afti not informed. It is, however, clear that the amount so advanoed will considerably exceed the undrawn balance of the appropria- tion ($6,066 66j),,and provision will have to be made for the excess. Six of these ma^jifes have arrived. ^ • By joiatt resolution of the Legislature, pasted at the same session, your ExcellensyWas further authorized "to purchase or import an amount of cotton cards, not exceeding 30,000, and of wool cards not ex:ceeding 10,000." "And to bdrrow^|rom the Bank of the State any amount necessary from time totime'Tortcarrying out this resolution; the amount to be repaid'the Ban£ npon the sale of the cards." * v .

The rate df*Exeliimge charged' 6n the first advances of «£1,083 was settled, and the amount t6 be paid by the State therefor ascertained to be $16,916 66.

' . ^ , Under the agreement ipade pursuant to the resolution adopted at the extra session, in Septemberdast, authorizing and requesting your Excellency $6,500 00 36,000- 00 6,500 00 7,142 85 3,000 00 13,333 33 152 to nfake such arrangements with William Gregg, President of the Granite- ville Manufacturing Company, for the purchase of domestic cloths, as you might deem proper, the Commissary General has received from the said Company 40,840 yards of cotton goods charged to the State at 90 cents. 551 00 and $1 10 per yard; and making an aggregate cost of $41,904, One-half of this sum has been thus far advanced by the Bank of the State, as authorized by the resolution above referred to. There stands upon the books of the Bank of the State sundry debit and credit balances against and in favor of this fund, under appropriations of previous years, which should be adjusted. With that view the following statement is submitted: 1. A balance of $748 to the credit of " Patrick Noble, Governor, for military contingencies." , 2. A balance of $4,502 67 to the credit of " Governor Pickens from loan of $300,000, authorized by General Assembly'at special session of Novem- ber, 1861." 3. A balance of $2,991 22 to debit of " Governor Pickens for ordnance purposes," being overdraft on'deposits of $50,000 in January and February, 1861. 4. A balance of $206,586 44 to debit of " Governor Pickens for military contingencies," as of'1st January, 1862. » 5. A balance of $86,329 26 to debit of "Stock.for $1,800,000 author- ized to.be issued for military defence of State by Act of December, 1861." These accounts should be closed while they are understood. The first three by setting off the debit balance of $2,991 22 against the two preced- ing credit balances of $748 and $4,502 67, and the difference in favor of the State of $2,259 45 carried to the credit of the present current account in the-Bank of the State for military contingencies. The last two items may be regarded as payments by the Bank on account of its subscription of $285,290 to the stock loan of $1,800,000, authorized by the Act of Decern- ber, 1861. If the stock subscribed by the Bank is issued (which has not been done), there will be a balance of $44,374 30 still due by the Bank upon its said subscription. ,If it is deemed inexpedient for the .State to issue additional stofck at the present time' (which is my opinion), then the above balance should be charged against the State as an advance by the Bank, and this particular fund relieved from accountability in respect thereto. The multiplication of accounts with the same fund, and their continuance after the object for which they were created has been accomplished, is the occasion of much complexity, and should, if possible, be avoided. By joint resolution of the General Assembly, passed in February, 1863, it was made my duty "to take charge of the papers connected with the 158 military accounts of the State, which had been referred at that Session to the House Committee of Ways and Means; to require all missing vouchers to be produced, and to obtain duplicate vouchers of all past and future claims against the Confederate Government, or in some manner provide that the vouchers shall be on hand in the arehives of the State Treasury, in addition to the papers necessary to' be presented for Confederate claims; and that the said accounts be presented to this General Assembly in due form at its pext Session/',• In accordance with this "resolution, I received certain books, accounts, and papers, whmh ,hsfve been carefully examined. Many of the Vouchers necessary for their Verification ure on filfe 'in tlie office of the 2d Ajiditor of the Confederate treasury at PJchmond. Tq obtain duplicates of these vouchers having been found impossible, owing to the death, or absence from tjie State, of the parties by whom they were originally given, an arrange-* ment was made by me with the Secretary of the Treasury at Richmcftid, by which certified copies of the vouchers ill the 2d Auditor's Office should be furnished at the hx^ense of the State. Until these are procured, I am re- luctantly constrained to ftsk further time to report upon th,e said accounts ' and papers. Among the duties prescribed by the resolutions appointing me to this office, was that of auditing the accounts- of • the Military State Works at G teenville ;* the S£iltf>etre Plantation at Columbia, and the Lead Mines at Spartanburg. Also, <5f the Military Butead of the' Quartermaster, Com- miseary, Ordnaqcfe Officer, Paymaster, and Surgeon General, and of "such other accounts as may be referred to this office" by y$ur Excellency. Upon entering upon "the duties of the office, notice Was given to the officers in charge of the'said worts and.bureau, that t"he forms of accounts prescribed by the army regulations of "the? Confederate States should be adopted in making their returns to this office. This has been* observed, and the monthly and quarterly returns on file show the fidelity and accuracy with which the accounts of the Military Departments of tlm State have been kept. * ' ' Deeming it also important that all requisitions and claims for money upon the Executive Department should ,be strictly verified before being paid, I prepared and published with the sanction of your blxcellency, in June last, certain regulations prescribing the form and anode of authenti- eating such requisitions and claims. Since that time these regulations have been very .generally observed by claimants, and will contribute much to the future adjustment with the Con- federate States of such of these claims as are properly chargeable against 20 154 that Government. These regulations are submitted as Exhibit B in the appendix to this report. . By a brief anatysis, I propose to show from the returns to this office the more important information that they convey. STATS MILITARY WORKS AT GREENVILLE. The aggregate cost of these Works to the State up to the 1st of October, 1863, was §252,546 03, of which $133,028 08 was expended under the previous Executive Administration. The following condensed table presents a proximate analysis of the character and extent of the expenditures made on account of these works : For Machinery and Tools $31,839 57 u Building Materials 20,675 02 " Stock 66,543 37 « Provisions 11,718 53 a Labor and Services 102.089 72 u Railroad Freight 7,912 89 " Incidental Expenses * 8,523 89 " Purchase of Small Arms..,, 1,251 00 " Fuel . 1,992 04 -$252,546 1)3 A statement in detail of The cash expenditures on account of these Works, during the administration of your Excellency, is herewith appended as Exhibit C. Also, abstracts of articles fabricated and repaired at these Works during the same period, designated by the letters D and E. Of the special appropriation, by the Legislature of February, 1863, of $15,000 for the construction, at these Works, of 1000 Morse's carbines, $6,500 have been drawn. This amount is included in the sum given as the cost'of the Works. One hundred of these arms, with their ammuni- ti'on, have been completed, and the assembling of the parts of 300 more is now in progress, and will probably be ftnished by the 1st of January next. On the 15th August, 1862, a statement of the work done at thesb Works, at Columbia, was submitted in a report made by the Hon. Wm. H. Gist, Chief of the Executive Department of Construction and Manufacture. This statement, consolidated with the returns received at, this cffice of articles fabricaied and repaired since that date at Greenville, will aid in arriving at a conclusion as to the productiveness of these Works from their establishment. The Exhibits marked F and G furnish this information. 155 The following estimate of the«vahie of the work, up^to the 11th July, 1865, embraced in the said consolidated statement? has feepn furnished to this office by Mr. !LopCZ « • Yalue of \tork done, up to the 13th August, 1862....'./. $22,898 00 " Arms repaired And altered from above date to 1st - April, 1863 , , 19,386 00 u Articles fabricated during 2d quarter, 1863 - 9p?70 00 lf Articles since manufactured, up to 11th July, 1863....'........: ...'• 15,764 00 total....: v.,$07,51r3 (10 Such of the article^ embraced in the above pomputation $s ard not ap- purtdnaqt to the worfis^hernselves, have'been turned over to the arsonal at Columbia, or are held subject.to the order of the Ordnance Officer of'the- State. Since the llth July, 1863, the works have been employed in the manufacture of various machines necessary for the armory, and in the con- struction of gurf carriages, and Morse's carbines; also, in easting shof«and shell, and fabricating wrought iron rifle bolts, apd in'making castings for Columbiad carriages^ for tlie Confederate Government. This Work for the Government js'the first done at these works of any consequence, for which the State ■yrill receive pecuniary remuneration. The char^ to be made For this work' H^3*nofc yet been( determined. No estimate has been made of the cost of.the carbines and of the other^wotk done for the State since the llth July^ 1.863. ' ■. At my Request, an inventory and appraisement werp made on,#the 1st of April,, 1^63, of the buildings, machinery, tools, material, stock, stores and provisions of all kinds* belonging to and jat the §tate wo"rk&at that date. By tyis return the aggregate value of the whole property was ascertained to he $283,464 57. This, Jjpwever, inclujled the machinery, tools; and stock received from the State of Tennessee, of wbiph | haye'uo ^cpurate appraisement as df the date of the said*inventory. Thp res'ult of a with- drawal of these articles from th& appraisement, will be to greatly diminish the sum of the'above valuation. The seeming unprofitableness of these works up to this time, may be. acoounted for by the necessity which existed at the beginning df the enter- prise for the erection of buildings atfd the construction and manufacture' of machinery and tools. This preliminary work has been 'accomplished by the energy of the gentleman who,' (o some extent, originated, 'and who until tecently has superintended these .works, The,continuing necessity, however, .remains- for. the employment'of* steam, and the transportation, over long distances *of the requisite supply «of iron and coal. If these more 156 serious obstacles to a remunerative employment by the State can be over- come, I am satisfied that they ■will be by the skill and industry of the accomplished machinist now at the head of this establishment. By resolution of the Legislature, passed on the 4th. February, 1863, I was instructed to examine into and report to your Excellency what were the precise terms of the contract with Governor Harris, of Tennessee, in relation to the purchase of the machinery and tools procured for the Green- ville Works. From a communication received from Governor Harris, in reply to one addressed to him by jne on this subject, it would seem that the machinery and tools referred to were not gold-by him to this Slate. He says in his letter : " I have no authority or disposition to sell the machinery and tools which I turned over to the Governor of South Carolina in the spring of 1862. The Legislature of Tennessee will determine, when it meets, what disposition shall he made of the machinery and tools. I turned them over to South Carolina, because I thought it improper and impolitic for the machinery to he idle in times like the present." It further appears from the papers on file in this office, that Mr. David Lopez telegraphed Governor Harris about the 23d April, 1862, from Atlanta, Georgia, as fol- lows : "I am here as agent of the State of South Carolina, with authority to treat with the State of Tennessee for the machinery and stock saved from the Nashville armory; will you authorize your agent to turn it over to me, subject to future settlement with South Carolina?" To this proposition Governor Harris replied by telegram, addressed to Mr. 'G. W. Morse, as follows : u Turn over the stock and machinery to agent of South Carolina, subject to future settlement, taking inventory." The following is an extract from the report of Mr. Lopez to the Hon. Wm, H. Gist, Chief of Construction and Manufacture, dated 1st May, 1862: "As you will per- ceive (from the above telegrams) Governor Harris adopted my suggestion for turning everything over to the State of South Carolina, subject to future settlement. I- have taken an inventory of the articles, a co^y of which I enclose for ybur examination. You will perceive that a veryval- uable part of the machinery was obtained, through Mr. Morse's exertions, from the Confederate States, for the use of the Nashville Armory; and\it was for that reason I desired the mode of transfer instead of sale; for ha(l I purchased, Tennessee could not have sold me those machines, without which the balance were comparatively useless. But the transfer turned) over to us everything intact." Upon the hearing of this report, the, follow- ing resolution was adopted by the Executive Council, on the 1st May„1862: " Resolved, That the Governor and Council heartily approve of tli# action of Mr. David Lopez, General Superintendent, in procuring such Valuable and indispensable machinery, and upon such favorable terms, and he is 157 hereby authorized ta give a receipt to. the Governor of Tennessee, promising that the State of South Caroling will account to the State of Tennessee in future settlement for everything received, from said. State, through the action of her Governor, in directing Mr. Morse to turn them over Jo the State of South Carolina." A copy of the inventory referred to in the .dispatch of Governor Harris, and in the report of Mr. Lop^z, is on file in this office. There is no ap- praisement, of the value pf the articles upon ,(this inventory, and I am in- formed by a letter from Mr, Morse, jtbat no appraisement wa$ ever made of the machinery and tools turned over by Governor Harris with- his knowl- edge, or the sanction of any one representing the Sffite of Tenrftessee in this matter. It seems to be clear, that it remains with the-State of Tennessee td determine hereafter whether a sale will he n;ade, and upon what terms, for the machinery and tools accounted for by the State, as they were rpcpived from Governor Harris + SALTPETRE PLANTATION AT COLUMBIA! * * The entire cost of these "Works, up to the 1st Nov., 1863;, as per exhibit H appended, is $62,052 45; of this suta $16,484 10 was' expended hnder thq previous administration. -The disbursement^ pn account of these works have been as foilqwk: , f, H '' For PuIldiugS, r.....,.$14,35f> 56 " Horses and. mules ......

LEAD MINES IN SRARTANBURO. The whole amount drawn from the Treasury on this account to date is 612,055. The monthly returns made to this office show expenditures for the following purposes to the 1st October, 1863. For Labor and Salaries ...-.67,048 26 Materials and Furniture 2,071 95 Traveling expenses 342 55 Forage account 491 25 Stationery ; 38 05 69,992 06 Cash on hand and since drawn from Treasury 2,062 94- 612,055 00 Five thousand five hundred and sixty-six pounds of lead ore, containing about sixty (60) per cent, of pure metal, have been delivered to the Con- federate Government, and five- thousand pounds int addition remain on hand. The price paid by the Confederate States, for lead will not reim- burse the, State for rnbre than one-eighth of the amount already expended in the working of these mines. The unproductiveness of these mines under the scientific, skill and direction of Dr. John LeCoste, whose services have been gratuitously given in the Superintendence of this work, furnishes the strongest assurance that any further attempt to make them remunerative will be useless. From the report of the Hon. James Chesnut, Jr., latei Chief of the Executive Department of the Military, made in September, 1862, it appears that by an arrangement witli Mr. Cameron, the proprietor of these mines, "they were placed for a time in the hands of the State without charge until all expenses incurred should be paid, and* after that time to receive a certain ratio of the, yi£ld." A further agreement, as I learn from Dr. LeConte, was entered into, to the effect, that upon the State ^discontinuing to work the mine, all fixtures^put up by the State should be detained by Mr. Cameron. 159 quartermaster general's bureau. The cash transactions of this Bureau from thb first of January, 1863, as condensed from the accounts audited and on file in this office, exhibit the following result. (See Appendix K.)_ Balance on handlist January, 1863 §267,586 75 Received from all sources from Igt January to 1st .Nov., 1853, 48,226 04 Total to be accounted for §315,812 70 Expenditures for all purposes....1......:.., ,241,495 16 Balance on hand 1st November, 1863..„ .*. §74,317 63 Of this balance §30,000 are held in Confederate 8 per cent, bonds received by the'Quartermaster General, in 1862, in payment l'or sales made to the Confederate Government.

By an examination of these returns, it will be' seen- that a considerable quantity of cotton goods and leather has been purchased during the year, and manufactured into clothing and shoes* These have been principally sold at cost to invalid and deStitutp soldiers passing through Columbia— thus rendering essential aid to many of our brave 'defenders/with little or no expense to the State. 180 Accounts for clothing issued on requisitions, amounting in the aggregate to $§2,91jt 76, still remain open and unpaid on the books of, this Bureau. These liabilities wepe contracted-bj officers of the South C&rolina troops in Confederate service in 186-1, under regulations then adopted by Stkte Executive. These issues were made upon the faith of jthe commutation allowed by the Confederate. Government for clothing to the troops organ- ized by the State and *in Confederate sei*vi.ce. In July, 1862, there was due by these officers $127,288*94., which has been- reduced by collections to less thaq, one-half' that sum. It is to# be expected that a considerable portion of the large balance still remaining due will be lo^t. The changes which have occurred in these .organizations, and the death,, transfer, dis- charge, and promotion of many of the officers, will rendef the efforts of .the experienced' a*nd energetic head of tips Bureau* fof its dollectidn unsuccess- ful.

Exhibit B shows the cost of the subsistence stores on hand, the 1st November, 1863, to be $63,407 42, apd the present market value to be $213,082. From an examination of the accounts, it will be seen that the Soldiers' Boards of Belief, and the Military Academies and works of the State, have been supplied from this Bureau, with stores at cost prices. The sales to the Boards of Belief have been chiefly, of salt, and those to the State Acade- mies and works haye been of stores generally, by which a large saving has resulted to the State. By joint resolution of the Legislature of February, 1863, the bonds executed on contracts with the State, -for the manufacture and delivery of salt, were directed to.be .transferred to this office, and I was instructed to cause suit to be b rough | on such as had- not b§en complied with by the parties undertaking them. This I am happy to say has not been found necessary, all the contracts having been pomplied with, either specifically by the delivery of the salt, or by the return of the money with interest ad- vanced by the .State. In one instance, where no satisfactory reasons were assigned why Jhe party, should be relieved from his contract, the whole penalty of the bond was exacted by me and paid t20,p00 for recruiting the regular forces of the State. And in December, at the regu- lar session, the Governor was authorized- to apply the additional sum of $15,000 to that piirpose.- The funds went into the hands of sundry officers, several of whom are ahsent from the State, and two have died. The re- returns of One of the latter, Col. J. C. Sim kins, were njade to this office before that sad event, and have been audited. Returns from-the others, or from their representatives,' have been called for, and will doubtless be rendered in due time. PRIVATE CLAIMS FOR LOOSES FROM THE WAIt. Under a resolution of the General Assembly of this State, passed in De- eember, 1861, a Commission composed of five citizens was appointed by the Governor " to ascertain the character and value of property which had been or may be destroyed by the enemy, or by order of State or Confederate authority, or by the voluntary action of owners, to prevent its falling into the enemy's possession during the existing war." At the session of the Legislature held in December, 1862, this Commission reported the claims which had been rendered under the above resolution. By order of the House of Representatives, copies of the said claims Were furnished to the Hon. James L. Orr, who had been appointed one.of a committee of the 104 Confederate States' Senate to take testimony " in relation to the outrages perpetrated by the forces of the United States upon the persons and pro- perty of the citizens of the Confederate States," and to cause the said testimony to be registered in the Department of Justice at Richmond. By resolution of the 16th December, 1862, the Auditor was authorized "to take and certify such evidence as may be offered before him by citizens of this State, to authenticate their claims against the Confederate States, or against this State, for losses sustained from the present war," and at the- last January session of the Legislature, the original report of the State Commission, and the claims accompanying it, were referred to the State Auditor, " to take such action in the premises as the nature of Ae case may require." Many of the claims referred to this office are exceedingly defective in statement as "to the character of the property and the circumstances of loss, and many more are so deficient in the proof by which they are attempted to be sustained, as to defeat the object proposed to be attained by the State and Confederate legislation on this subject. The main object of this legis- lation is to provide for the taking and preservation of evidence, establishing private losses sustained from the existing war, while such evidence is accessible, and may be readily obtained, and not to defer the establishment of such claims to a future period, when it will be more difficult, if not im- possible, to obtain the proof required for their authentication. The following table, compiled from such of the returns filed in this office as furnished the information, will afford some inadequate view of the character and value of the property lost in this State from the war. At least one third of the returns are defective in these important particulars. Loss and damage to buildings and other fixtures.. $1,422,936 " of 10,348slaves 8,874,568 " " Cotton 728,359 " " Provisions 260,411 " " Horses and cattle 141,505 " " Boats, wagons, furniture, and other personalty and effects 586,811 $12,014,590 In June lapt, I prepared and caused to be published, in all of the papers in the State, a circular containing Information as to the action of the Con- federate Government, in relation to the preservation and proof of claims for losses from the war, with suggestions for the preparation and verification of said claims. Since that time,, a number of the returns referred to this office by the Legislature have been perfected., 165 These, together with such others as may be received, will be transmitted by me to'the department at Ilichmond, charged by Congress with the'cus- tody and disposition of sueh claims. • claims of the state against the confederate government. The resolutions of the 16th December, 1862, prescribing the duties of the State Auditor, imposed upon that officer the'iraporta^| work of '"pre- paring and presenting for adjustment and settlement an,'"'.claims of this State against the Confederate States, and of receiving/as agent of the State, all moneys that may be acknowledged and paid by the said Govern- ment oh account of the said claims, and to deposit the moneys sO leceived in the Treasury of the State, together with a particular account thereof: Provided, That the remaining unsettled claims that were presented in July, 1861,to the Second Auditor's office at Richmond by Central Wilmot G. DeSaussure, under the 4-ct of Congress 'to make appropriations For. three thousand"men for'twelve" niohths for the defence of Charleston/ ap- proved the 11th March, 1861, shall be adjusted and collected by General DeSaussure.'* By an Act of Congress "to raise provisional forces for the Confederate States of America, and for other purposes," approved the 11th March, 1861, the 'President was authorised and directed to'assum^ control of all military operations in evbry State, and " to receive into the service of the Government such forces then in the service of said State! as may be ten- dered/or who may volunteer, by consent of their State, in such.numbers as he may require, for any time not less than twelve months, urdess sooner discharged," and that ^he said forces, when so received, shall form a part of the provisional army of the Confederate' States, according to the terms of their enlistment, and'"shall h/ive the same pay and allowances as may be provided by law for -volunteers entering the service, or for the army of the Confederate States!' Another Act, Approved on the. same day, was .passed, appropriating 81,323,766 '72 for the support of three thousand men for twelve pnontbs, to be called into service at Charleston, South Carolina, under the third and fourth sections of the foregoing Act of" Congress, "to raise provisional forces for the Confederate ^States of America, and for. other purposes." And the additional sum of 8860,228 45 was appropriated " for the support of two thousand additional trobpS, to be called into the service of the Confederate States for twelVe months, at Charleston, South Carolina, whenever, in the discretion of the President, their services may be re- quired." C On the 10th May, 1861, 'a resolution was p?&ed by Congress wMch de- elated, "that the expenditures made by the.State of South Carolina for the 166 pay and maintenance of the troops employed in the defence of Charleston harbor, under the command of Brigadier General Beauregard, were intended to be provided fur by the Act making appropriations for the support of 8,000 men for twelve months to be called into service at Charleston, under the third and fourth sections of the Act of the Provisional Congress, to raise provisional forces for the Confederate States, and thpt the amount of such expenditures be audited by the proper officer of the Treasury Depart- merit, and the 'amou it which shall be found due be paid to the State of South Carolina from the appropriations made by the Act aforesaid." Under the Act and ^resolution of Congress above cited, the Hon. Judge Frost, Secretary of the Executive Department of the State Treaty, pre- sented at Montgomery, in May, 1861, claims for cash expenditures by the State, amounting to $145,033 18; of which sum $360,299 02 were allowed and paid.

To the General jlsvemb'y of South Carolina: The Commissioners pf.tho Institution at Cedar Spring for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and the, Bihrd, beg -leave to make the following report t , , Notwithstanding the extravagant pricey of,provisions and other necossa- ries, the officers have been able, by tire 'exercise of economy and self-denial, to sustain the Institution during the past year,, with a suspension of only one mdnth, in* addition to the usual vacation. Great exertion was used to accomplish this, without going beyond the annual appropriation-of $8,*000; but the-expenses of the last quarter- exceeded, by $867 71, the balance of the same, and the. Commissioners supplied thp deficiency out of a residue remaining in the -treasury of a fanner specific appropriation for ^he comple- tion of the buildings, which cannot at present,be used for that purpose. It will be impossible to Carry' Op. the Institution another year without an increased appropriation. . The ^officers ask for -$15,000. A smaller sum would certainly be' insufficient.' "* The ,sjim proposed is an addition of 62£ per cent, to the customary amount, whereas the'expenses of living have in- creased in a much greater ratio. 'It is proper td mention that the officers do not desire their salaries to be -raised. And to show with what integrity the financial department has beCn administered, it may also be mentioned that, until the last year., tlie entire annual appropriation has never been drawn. The aggregate amount thus saved to the State exceeds the addi- t.ional sum of $7,*000 now asked for. The Commissioners therefore recom- mend that the sum of *$15,000 be appropriated for the support of the Institution during the current year, and the further sum of $867 71 to make good the building fund, which will be needed -whenever a favorable time arrives for completing the work that remains to be done on the build- ings. The report of the faculty sets forth truly and feelingly the evil that would result from closing or suspending the Institution, and the Cornmis- sioners feel assured that your honorable body will be disposed to avert so great a calamity. The leaks in the roof, mentioned in the last annual report, which threat- ened serious injury to the building, have been checked at a small expense, by vary judicious work, which, it is hoped, will avail until proper materials can be procured for the permanent remedy of the evil. 31 244 fcli©year, frequently 'witnessed examinations of the classes; and, also, as you were present at the Annual Exhibition, which was attended by a very large and appreciative audi to) y, estimated at from fifteen hundred to two thousand persons.

The layg'e attendance upon ou-r public examinations, aftd' also, the throngs of visitors present at qur receptions o'n Fridays, from 11 A. M.. to 1 P. j)I., evince.the very general interest iel,t by the public in the objects and sue- cess of the Institution. These circumstances, together with the generous interest taken by editors and proprietors of, the principal papers of the State, in the education of-the deaf and dumb,.and the "blind, have tended to dis- seminate a.'knowledge o'f the Institution,'and to bring hither many an un- fortunate youth, who otherwise would fnost likely have been doomed to.pass through life in total ignorance of those means which have been devised by, philanthropists to mitigate his gjreat-misfortune. In educating the deaf and- duihh, and the blind,, two leading objects should be constantly kept in vjufw.* First, to rfede'em'them from the isolated condition. in which fthdy are found, 'sbrofided in both mental at.d moral darkness, and u fro'm all the .cheerful ways of man cut, off;" to givb them a knowledge oftlieit obligation-to God, and the relations; which tlrey bear to their follow wen ^ to'awakeu them to a consciousness of their own intellee- tual powers, and to' discover to them those never failing sources of happi- ness and improvement found in the cultivation of literature, the arts and science^. Second, it is altogether essential that, iu addition to a general scholastic training^ each pupil should possess such knowledge of some de- partment of learning or mechanic- art as may in future life afford liiin the means of an independent livelihood. From the beginning, this Institution has striven to secure these Objects, and though little more than a decade of years'hms elapsed since its establishment, the-results are already quite gratl- 248 fying, and give an earnest of what it may accomplish fur those confided to its care, in years to come. Among our graduates iriay be found teachers, a minister of the Gospel,' clerks,, farmers, and" many' artisans, who, by their trades of boot and shoe making, ami rhe manufacture of brooms, are bene- fiting various portions of the Slate in which, a few years since, they bade fair'to be only burdens to'their'friends j and who now, by tluur industry, are reimbursing, many fold, thq expenses of their education,to the common- wealth. • " In the mechanical department, no change has heen made, and another year but strengthens the Opinion, ,.th at the trades here taught are those best adapted to the peculiar condition, of the pupils / feeing te£tsily acquired, equally welbsuited either to town qr eount^y, and requiring but a small .Outlay to commence business,On thgir own* acqount,.'"after they" shall'have completed their term at school. ' This view of the subject is full^y corrobo- rated by tlie experience of other similar Institutions. _ 'The handicraft of "the female pupils is, at present, of necessity, confined do plain sewing "and knitting. It is frequently remarked b^ visiting friends', that the pupils appear quite cheerful and happy; indeed, far.-more so'thab they had supposed possible with persons in their forlorn condition. .This is -thelegitimate result of the enlightening and cheering influences,of knowledge upon the mind,"and of the cultivation of the social and "moral fee^ingsl Wedoubt'if a rnpre joyous group of youths can be found in the State, than that here collected,' or one in which there is more genuine' *ooat fhe.Igstitutionq tfnd as the pupils filed into the room, to. hike their places at the* fablej the'mate f>ojs and girls leading their sightless Companions—and the.ble'ssing of (dpi. wits so solemnly invoked, first by tlye solemn and expressive gestures ,yf tlie dumb, and then in the grave accents of the blind, man, .X thought J had seen ,1'Cw spectacles that more touchingly appealed to the, better 'sympathies of our nature. * * * * * * . * The Institution is one of those noble charities of the State, whose softening and reviving influences, like evening dew, operate upon the objects of its bounty silently .and unseen.!' * , In giving instructidns to our pupils upon, religious subjects, it is our cb- ject to elucidate and inculcate the .great qurdiya!-, truths, of Christianity, carefully avoiding all topics of a .sectarian, character;, as unbefitting a State 247 Institution which is open alike to Christians of all denominations. With, these tenets thoy may become conversant in m^turer years, both from their own reading and "by instructions from friends and pastors. Many of our graduates have become acceptable members of vaiious branches of tho Church. The special importance of religious- instruction to the dtaf and dumb must be apparent to all, when* it is t-enaembered that by their stupe 11- dous misfortune they are deparred from all the salutary parental influences enjoyed'by their'more'fortunate brothers and sisters, from instruction from the pulpit, and-from'the great advantages" of social worshijv It is quite possible that an uneducated' but -know no more. We have1 been unable to find a single case in which an urn tutored deaf and dumb person has attained -to anything like a true knowledge of a Great First Cause-. In this point of view, such Institutions are something more than mere literary establishments; they reach an Interesting c!as(s of persons inaccessible by any other means, Conveying a message of love, from the great Creator to his children, who dwelt in -the land "of perpetual silence, to whom the Bible were & sealed book, the.sacred rittes of the Church but idle ceremonies,' a,nd G od himself a nonentity. Such Institutions must commend themselves to'every Christian. The thanks of the'Faculty'are due to Mis? M. A. Walker, for voluntary instruction given to several classes of which she has had charge during the past term; to Miss J. Gf Elliott," for a.valuable contribution of seventy-five volumes to the library of the Institution ; to T. B. Jeter, Esq., President of the Spartanburg and Union Railroad Company, lor a pic-nic excursion ; and to the proprietors of several of the leading papers of the State, both religious and sec-alar, for gratuitously supplying our reading rooms with their journals. Any other periodicals, which may he sent, will be quite acceptable, as stich reading adds greatly to the general information of the pupils, and serves to excite, in their minds, a love of miscellaneous litera- ture. Also, we shall be happy to receive further contributions to the library, as well as paintings, engravings, and natural, mechanical or scientific curiosx- ties, which may enable us, at as early a day as practicable, to fit. up a small museum, which would be highly appreciated by the pupils, esp- cially by the deaf and dumb, whose imaginative powers are quickened and cultivated by 24? studying works of art and the beauties'of jiatiire, just as thpso of the blind receive their highest development from poetry 4nd music. Thus, ideas of the* beautiful aud sublime, through the eyes yf' the deaf and dumb, and through the ears "of the blind, reach thpir minds, producing in them res- jjectively, the gauge emotions, of pleasure, experienced, perhaps in a higher degree,■" by those tQ whonl God hasvyouchsalbd yho, full use of V.I ike gate- ways, of knowledge to the souk • • ' .'When taking'leave of onf pupils after 'graduation, we desire to be able £o ptyee in {he hands of those who have ncft'the- means of, prpeuriag them for themselves, a copy of the Holy Scriptures and p. few other useful works, and algo the tools or-justruments to enable.thorn to establish. themselves in business. Our,interest in,our pupils,cannot terminate with .their scholastic years; we wish to see them Happy and useful ih, tb^varfous spheres of life in .which theyqinay move; but for the wanto.f a suitable outfit, the designs contemplated in the establishment pf, the. .Institution,'pay,, in niaay instan- ees, be .thwariedf. As, the appropriating made by-jthe Legislature p3.11 no j be consistently expended for theSe'inpst desirable, purposes,. it was,proposed,,in our last lifplrt, to r^ige,fty private subscription, a fond,'do be, kept separate frQm tbe Support Pund; under the, CQntrpl -of your, Board, and invested by you in such manner as joip in ay think bes't^, fh^, interest of wlpch anight meet this expense, and otheij objects Contemplated; .sufeh as procuring an organ, enlarging the library, th.e purchase of phibsnptieui 'and chemical apparatus, f private benevolence,, this pcheme* has met with a generous response Whenever .ptqpe&ted, Wp have, already, several liberal subscriptions for this purpose,'and hope by next yegr/wben we pro- pose to publish .the list of donors, that many otheraiVsuU have been added. We know no way in which twenty pr thirty thousand dullfu*s. may be more chaVitably .and beneficially .expanded than in establishing- a permanent fund, the interest of which shall, in all time to,come, be used for. the aboye men- tioned objects. .Many institutions, such as Curjs,'have'received large legacies from benevolent individuals, who, dying, have attested 'tlyeir' gratitude for the perfect use of all their faculties, and th§ix ainpfo fortunes during life, by giving liberally for the benefit" of those who, by A wise but inscrutable Providence, have been bereft of so inan^ hf'^h§, benefit^ apd pleasures en- joyed by the rest of mankind. Believing that there are not wanting those in South Carolina, who aye willing to dedieafo to this noble purpose, a part or tbe whole of their estates, we append to this ELpport a form for bequests to the Institution. At the last regular Session of 'the Legislature, the usual appropriation of eight thousand dollars was madewitV winch we have endeavored, by 249 rigid economy, to continue the exercises of the Institution, though the number of pupils has been greater than that of any previous year. Every retrenchment has been made, short of actual detriment to the school. Yery little has been expended for books Or ofher apparatus used in teaching, while almost the entire appropriation has been applied to the purchase of provisions, payment of salaries, clothing indigent pupils, &e.; but, notwithstanding the most sedulous efforts of the officers, your Board found it necessary to ante- date, by almost a month', the c.lose df" the last term, in order to keep the expenses within the- limits - of the appropriation. Our« situation, once so favorable for cheapness of living, is no longer so; the great influx of popu- lation into the upper Districts, and the embrassments arising from the finances of the country, have enhanced, from three to ten fold, the prices of all the prime necessaries of life. From the most accurate calculations which we have been able to make, taking, as data, the expenses -of the last fiscal year, and the fact that provisions of all kinds, except flou^ are now held at higher rates than at any time during that period, an increase in the Annual Appropriation, of not less than seven thousand dollars, wall be re- quired to sustain' the Institution through the present year. The amount for pay, pupils has already been raised by yeffir Board from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars per annum; and, indeed, we know of no school, either puhiie or »private, in which there has not been an increase •of the means of support.. It? has now become necessary to replenish our supply of books'jjnd other apparatus, Which have been considerably impaired during the'last iwo years. Happily, most of those absolutely required can he'had within \he Confederacy, but of course, at advanced rates. To give an idea of this expense, it is sufficient only to mention the fact, that in time of peace the usual, price of a Bible in the raised print, was twenty dollars, and other works proportionally dear. An increase in the Support Fund or a suspension, either partial or total, is inevitable. By a suspension, we should lose much1 which h$s, by years of patient toil, been obtained. Be- sides the deprivation of the blessings of education to the classes now under tuition, most of whom will so,on have grown beyond the time of pupilage, it is believed that ft Would require years to restore the Institution to its present degree of efficiency, and to the general confidence, which we are happy to believe it now enjoys. We therefore respectfully recommend to your Board that the appropriation b.e increased to fifteen thousand dollars. From the ieluct^nce with which the Legislature acquiesced in the suspen- sion -of the South Carolina College, it may be inferred, that no literary institution under the control of the State will readily be relinguisbed, unless the inmates are capable of performing active service, which, with curs, is not the case. A portion of the funds hitherto applied to the support of the 32 250 College, would, during its suspension, if transferred to this Institution, give us all we ask without any increase whatever in the appropriations made for educational purposes. Confidently committing the future welfare of this Institution to the wis- dom of your Board, and the enlightened liberality of the Legislature, and, above all, to the continued guidance of tjie .bmniscient God, this Report is most respectfully submitted.

In the House olf Representatives, September 29, 1863. The Committee on the Military, to whom was referred the petition of sundry members of the First Regiment of State troops, praying that the poor of said regiment be relieved from service untilthey can gather their crops, respectfully report: That they have considered the same, and would recom- mend the following resolution : Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to confer with the Commanding General, and request that, as far as the public exigencies will permit, that furloughs be granted the poor, of the five regiments of State troops, for the purpose of gathering their crops and sowing their wheat. Resolved, That the House do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. II. R. In the Senate, September 29, 1863.. Resolved, That the Senate do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be-returned to the House of Representatives. J3y order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S, iNTUoDUCElj IN Tllli SENATE, In the Senate, September 2b, 1862. The Committee on Confederate Relations, to whom was referred so meek of the Governor's message as relates to u the system qt impressment, adopt- ed by the Confederate Government," beg leave t-o Report.: That in the short time allowed, they havehiot been able to gather very definite iufbnna- tion 011 the subject, but enough to satisfy them that serious grievances are committed in the manner of executing the impressment law. Such a law can be justified only by necessity, and even then should be en- forced equitably, and discreetly. These considerations have not been sufli- eiently regarded. Your Committee are informed that impressments are unnecessarily made at some convenient spot, when the things required might be obtained by purchase a short distance off, if the officer would take the trouble to go after them; that the provision of the law requiring a sufficiency to be left for the use of the owner and his family is not always attended to ; that to save trouble the impressing officer will sometimes allow persons who are not convenient to him to go free, while those who are so unfortunate as to be within lus grasp are stripped: And that, in some cases, supplies set apart to answer the Tax in Kind are not called for, while impressment goes on in the neighborhood, because it gives less trouble. These things are greatly to be deplored. Besides being wrong, their tendency is to render government officers odious, if not to produce violent opposition, "mi to destroy that hearty co operation of the aggrieved persons in the conduct of the war which is essential to its success. But the redress provided by the Act, namely, the punishment of offenders by court martial, is quite inadequate, and the course pursued by the Governor seems to the Committee to have been very judicious and proper. They accordingly recommend the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That this General Assembly heartily unites with the Governor in his appeal to the Conlederate Government to have the impressment law faithfully and discreetly executed, and that his Excellency be requested to communicate this resolution to the Secretary of War. Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor, be requested to confer with the Secretary of War, and procure, if practicable, his consent to allow the Board of Relief for Soldiers' families, in any .district in which the Governor shall be satisfactorily assured that there is a deficiency of supplies for sub- siateocc of such families, to receive of the agent of the government the provisions which may be levied in kind in such district, on paying a com- mutation in money therefor at government rates, under such regulations and restrictions as may be judged proper. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered, That it he sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S.

SPECIAL JOINT COMMITTEES. The Special Joint Committee, appointed at the last Session of the Lcgis- lature, to examine into the condition of the Branch of the Bank of the State of South Carolina at Columbia, ask leave to report:' That they have performed the duty assigned them, in which they were, greatly aided by the officers of the Bank, who promptly furnished us the books and-rccords, and cheerfully gave us any information and explanations desired by the Committee. The Exhibit, marked A, shows the. condition of the affairs of the Bank on the 30th of Sept. last, the close of the fiscal year. By reference, it will be : seenj that the amount of notes, discounted is $753,280, which presents a favorable showing, when wc consider the checks to trade and the obstructions to the regular channels of commerce. It indicates that the home trade must be active. The amount of bonds is $12,50.0.1 It was an object of interest to the Committee to ascertain, as far as their knowledge would permit, •aided by the judgment of the officers, to satisfy themselves of the safety of these'transactions. It appears to the Committee that these debts are as fully secured against any probable loss, as the exigency of the times will warrant. . , The Bank credits itself with $1,047,600 of 7 and 8 per cent, bonds. The interest accruing upon these materially add to the profits of the Bank. The operations of banking iu these times of obstructed commerce, necessa- rily vary from those common to the days of pe'ace and unrestricted trade. The finatfredemption of these bonds ought not to be questioned; for if we succeed fully in establishing our Southern Confederacy, the resources of our government will enable it to redeem all its obligations. There are in notes and judgments $750,286 65.' Of this amount there are in suit and judgments $136,180 41. On this amount partial payments have been made, amounting to $50,139 63, leaving uncollected on'this branch of in* debtedness^only $86,040 78. j ' Although the stay-law interferes with collections by legal process, yet payments are made in cases where, heretofore, the debts were- considered doubtful. The redundancy of the cirqulating medium, doubtler-s, has la- cilitated the payment of some of the obligations to the Bank. The liqui- 28-1 dation of some notes and bonds will necessarily be delayed, in consequence of the parties interested being in the army. When it is considered, how- ever, that this is intended to be a Bank of accommodation for the whole people of the State, leniency in such cases is not now censurable, but advi- sable. The interest is still accruing, and the final collection ' t>f the debts hopeful. ' The nctt profits'of the Bank for the whole year is §124,927 74, which is reached in the following manner: On Discounts . §133,519 ■ 67 Interest on Bonds ... 4,891 85 Premium on Exchange. 1,055 30 Protest : 400 00 Gross profits .. • §139,866 82 Prom this amount deduct: Pot salary of Officers §12,400 00 Incidental Expenses 2,537 08 14,937 08 Leaving the nctt profits' at; . §124,927 74 The precise per cent, of profits on. the capital of this Branch, could not be ascertained exactly. Its capital is changeable in its amount, consisting mostly of the debts which it, owes to the Parent Bank, which varies con- stantly as bills are furnished or drawn from it. Its average capital, how- ever, may be put at §1,000,000. The per centage of profits thereon, for the fiscal year, is, quite favorable, especially when it is considered that Branches are confined to a single issue, whereas.other Banks are permitted to issue three times the amount of their capital. The amount d,ue depositors is quite large, being §1,531,888 71. These funds are seldom called for; but, if they should, the cash in hand and available resources of the Bank, will enable the officers to meet the whole amount in a very short time. The cash in Bauk is registered at §956,219 95, which includes all bills, notes, specie, &c„ ready for immediate use. About §400,000 of this^ amount is in Confederate interest bearing notes, the, balance of §556,- 219 95 is kept in circulation, en which no interest accrues. There is also on hand §65,000 of notes of the Bank of the State. The Committee are fully satisfied that the Bank is managed with care and practical ability, every officer thereof exhibiting promptness , and effi- cicncy iu their respective departmeuta. 285 The Committee, in view of the high prices of the materials of living, and Which are likely to continue so during the existence of the war, under the combined influences of various causes, are of the opinion that the sala- ries of all the officers should be increased. r Ordered to be receive^ and filed, and printed with the Reports and Reso- hjtiohs.

The Committee on Claims and Grievances, to whom was refened the petition of Charles Logan, praying compensation for a slave lost whilst in the service of the State, Working on the obstructions in the San tee River, respectfully report: That they have considered the same, and find that the slave in question was, by the order of the Executive, removed from the Granby Quarries, where lie had been hired by his owner to the State for some time previous, to the Santee River, in January last, and on his way back to Columbia in May, was drowned in the- Congaree River, by the. breaking of the pole with which he was poling a fiat-boat. This ease, although perhaps, not strictly Within the terms of the resolution Of the last session of this General Assembly, referring cases of slaves lost whilst work- ing on the coast fortifications, to the State Auditor, is yet so similar in character, as to justify the Committee, in the conclusion, that it, as well as all others like it, should also bo referred to the Auditor. The Committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolution, viz : 308 Resolved, That the petition of Charles Logan, praying compensation fpr a slave lost whilst working on river obstructions, in the service of the State, as well as all other cases of a like character, that have occurred, or may occur, be referred to James Tupper, Esq., State Auditor, for adjudication, and that he report thereon to the Legislature, as is required in the cases heretofore referred to him.

COMMITTEE OX COMMERCE, MAXUFAC- TURES AND THE MECHANIC ARTS. In the Senate, December 2, 1863. The Committee! ou Commerce, Manufactures and the Mechanic Arts, to whom was referred the petition of the Trustees of the Marine School of Charleston, ask leave respectfully to report: That they have had the same tinder consideration, and so entirely are they satisfied of the usefulness of the institution, and of the wise policy of the State in heretofore encoura- ging and fostering it, that they have no hesitation in recommending a con- tiriuance of that fostering care which has nourished and kept it alive. Without the aid of the State, this important enterprise, originating in the commendable and laudable attempt to supply seamen of our own to com- mand and. work our ships, while, at the same time, it was well calculated to make a useful man out of a,boy whovif left to himself, would probably go to ruin, must have failed. The just hopes and expectations of the intelli- gent and liberal-minded men, who first moved in this matter, have been more than realized. The boys educated and trained by the Marine School have, in their several positions, done credit to themselves, and honor to the institution", and service to the State. They therefore recommend the adop- turn of .the following.resolution : ' . lit'solmd, That the sum of seven thousand dollars be appropriated .in aid of the Marine Schoul^f Charleston, to be paid tq the Charleston Port So- ciety, upon the draft of the President, countersigned by the Secretary, and to be accounted for to the .Board of Commissioners of Free Schools for St. Philip's and St. Michael's.

COMMITTEE ON THE MILITARY AND PENSIONS. In the Senate, December 7, 1863. The Committee on the Military and Pensions, to whom was referred so much of the Message No. 1 of his Excellency the Governor as relates to the Agency at Richmond for the relief of South Carolina soldiers, ask leave to report. That they have considered the same, and examined the report of the agent, which accompanies the message. This report shows that from the 20th of March, 1863, at which time the agent entered upon his duties, to the 1st November, 1863, his receipts amounted to four thousand one hundred and si^ty-one dollars and forty-one cents (#4,161 41), and his expenditures to three thousand two hundred and sixty-six dollars and ninety-one cents ($3,266 91), leaving a balance in his bands due the State of two hundred and seven dollars and ninety- five cents ($207 95). This includes salaries and other expenses. The report of the transactions of this agency shews its usefulness, and the Committee recommend its continuance under the resolution of the General Assembly, passed at the last regular session. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered,! That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S:. In the Hduse of Representatives, December 16, 1863. Resolved, That the House do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the Senate. By order, < JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H. R. oin In .the Senate, December 7, 1363. The Committee on the Military and Pensions, to whom was referred so rrinch of. the Message No. 1 of his Excellency the Governor, as relates to the Military Academy, also the report of the Board of Visitors, and a reso- lution enquiring a$ to the expediency of increasing the number of pay and beneficiary cadets in the Academy, ask leave to report: That during the past year this Academy has fully sustained its character for discipline and usefulness. The suspension of the South Carolina College, and other literary insti- •tutions of the State, has largely increased the number of applicants for admission into this Academy, the number reaching this year, besides the usual number of State applicants, three hundred and seventy-five pay ap- plications, of whom the Board could receive only twenty-six State, and one hundred and fourteen pay cadets. At the annual meeting of the Board, in 1862, a large number of applt- cants were rejected, on account of the want of accommodation for them at the Arsenal; and the Legislature, at the suggestion of the Board, made an appropriation of $25,000 for the erection of additional buildings; but, owing to the restrictions placed upon it, the appropriation was not drawn, ' and consequently the buildings were not erected. The Committee would gladly recommend an additional appropriation for this purpose, but they regard the erection of suitable buildings at this time wholly impracticable, To say nothing of the cost, it is impossible to pro- Cure many of the materials that would be absolutely necessary for the work. Owing to the continued increase of prices of subsistence and clothing, the , fund appropriated by the Legislature, based upon estimates of prices made last year, has not been sufficient, and there has been an excess of ex- penditures over receipts of $23,371 57. - This increase of prices of subsistence and clothing also renders it neces- sary to make a larger appropriation than usual for the maintenance of these institutions another year. The estimates contained in the report of the Board of Visitors, show that the cost of each cadet for the ensuing year will amount to a little more than $800. Upon this basis, the deficiency for the ensuing year for the^whole num- her of State cadets, will amount to $36,200 34, which, added to the usual annual appropriation, will amount, to the sum of $73,200. The Committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolution: JResolved, That the sum of seventy-three thousand two hundred dollars be appropriated, for the support of the State Military Academy for the en- suing year, and that the sum of twenty-three thousand, three hundred and 40 , . seventy one dollars fifty-seven cents, be appropriated to cover the deficit for the past year. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, 6.

COMMITTEE ON THE COLLEGE, EDUCATION AND RELIGION. In the Senate, December 9, 1863. The Committee on the College, Education, and Religion, to whom was .referred the report of the Commissioners of the Institution for the eduea- tion of the deaf, dumb, and blind, ask leave to report: That it gives con- tinued evidence of the ability and success with which that institution has been heretofore conducted. In consequence of the greatly increased cost of provisions and other necessaries, the expenditures for the last quarter have unavoidably exceeded the appropriation. They therefore recommend that $867 71 be appropriated to cover the deficiency, and that the annual appropriation be increased to $15,000. The proposed increase is less than the aggregate amount of undrawn balances of past appropriations. They further recommend that three hundred copies of the reports be printed for the use of the Legislature and the Institution. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. , Ordered, That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S. In the House of Representatives, December 16, 1863. Resolved, That the House do concur ip the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the Senate. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C, H. R. The following paper was submitted, as a report, by the acting Chairman of the Committee on the College, Education and Religion, on one of the last days of the session. The President awaited the House report for action, but it did not reach the Senate. The Clerk has considered it his duty thus to give it the authenticity to which he knows it is entitled—as the only report on the general Free School returns. It was not acted on by the Senate. WM. E.

In the Senate, December 16, 1868. The Committee on Confederate Relations, to whom was referred the report of W. G. DeSaussure, relative to claims against the Confederate Government, ask leave to report: That they have examined the same, and find the Act creating the office of State Auditor, passed at the last regular session of the Legislature, placed under the charge of that officer all claims against the Confederate States, except those which had been presented for settlement by Gen. DeSaussure. A portion of the latter, amounting to (161,104 52-100,) one hundred and sixty-one thousand one hundred and four dollars and fifty-two one hundreds, has been paid into the State Treasury, and Gen. DeSaussure has ceased to have any connection with the residue thereof, and has delivered the vouchers, and other papers relating to the same, to his Excellency the Governor. Your Committee are of opinion that these claims appertain properly to the Auditor's office, and accordingly recommend that the said vouchers and other papers be turned over by his Excellency to that officer, to be dealt with by him like other claims in his hands against the Confederate States. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S. In the House of Representatives, December 17, 1863. Resolved, That the House do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the Senate. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H. R. In the Senate, December 16, 1863. The Committee on Confederate Relations, to whom was referred so much of Message No. 7, of his Excellency the Governor, as relates to the subject of impressment by the agents of the Confederate Government, have con- sidered the same, and ask leave to make the following report: Your Com- mittee had this matter under consideration at the called session of the General Assembly, in September, and in a report then made and adopted, earnestly called the attention of the proper authorities to the unjust and oppressive manner in which the law was at that time enforced in several particulars. The evils then complained of do not appear to have been remedied, and others more grievous and vexatious have been superadded. The manner of impressing horses has become a subject of general and loud complaint throughout the State, and your Committee cannot forbear from characterising it as not only unequal but offensive. Horses have been rudely taken in the public streets, from carriages in which there were ladies, and while valuable animals much needed by their owners have been taken from those who made no effort to withhold them, persons have been suffered to conceal their horses, and no pains have been taken to prevent this evasion of the law. And his Excellency has now brought to the notice of the General Assembly, circulars issued by " T. B. Trout, Major and Divi> sion Quartermaster," and served upon the citizens of the State, in which they are notified that he desires "to purchase all the produce now in their possession," and are warned that " any effort to remove or dispose of the same will be at their peril." The great suffering, amounting almost to starvation, which must fall on a large part of the population of the State, if no one is allowed to part with his surplus products, as many gentlemen are habitually doing, most liberally and charitably, is plainly and truly set forth in the message. Your Committee cannot believe that the grievances mentioned are authorized or sanctioned by the War Department. They are in gross vio- lation of the spirit and intent of the law. > The citizens of this State will give up freely and cheerfully whatever may with propriety be demanded of them during the war, to the mainte- nance of which they are devoted with remarkable unanimity. But tyrannical and runinous demands, arrogantly made and enforced by its agents, must engender disaffection to the government, and stir up a spirit of'resistance. Your Committee recommend the adoption of the following resolution : Resolved, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to transmit copies of this report and resolution to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and earnestly request them to urge upon the Government the 3-ZO prompt correction of the evils complained of, ami to take *;uch other, steps in the premises as may lead to that most desirable result. Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, 0. S. In the House of Representatives, December 17, 1868. Resolved, That the House do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the Henate. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. II. R. COMMISSION ON THE CODE. In the Senate, December 3, 18(13. The Commission to whom was referred u the reports of the Commissioner of the Code,'' ask leave to report: That very soon after their appointment, before entering on the work assigned to them, thev felt it due to the eini- nent gentleman who had prepared the proposed Code, that an interview and conference should be held with him. A meeting was fixed at Columbia, wben they received, with a regret shared by the whole community, informa- tion that the condition of his health would not permit him to attempt the journey. Still, impressed with the belief that an interview would afford them an opportunity of hearing in person his views as to the arrangement and method of the book he had prepared, which would probably he of great aid in the prosecution of the duty which the Legislature had confided to them, they fixed a meeting for an early day in Charleston,, which they attended for the purpose indicated. Mr. Petigru was present, but at the very opening of the conference, was compelled from sheer weakness to retire. He appeared not only desirous but solicitous of an interchange of opinion. The mental power was strong, but t'nc physical ability too weak, to sustain it. The eye had lost none of the brightness which indicated the genius and intelligence of the great intellect to which it pointed, but the mortal frame yielded to the disease which had conquered and subdtied it. From that attack, Mr. Petigru never recovered—his last great work has been bequeathed to the State which, in his death, feels that-, it has lost a son who loved it well, and of whose pure character and gigantic mind it may well have been proud. Deprived of his aid, the Commission commenced its labors. The mem- hers ^composing it have expended much time and industry in critically examining the books, comparing them with the respective Statutes to which the_several heads referred, and hate made full and copious note?, bearing on such points as in their judgment might demand further search and investigation. Several meetings have been held, and they had well hoped to have been able to make to the present session a full and final report. The condition of the country, and particularly that of Charleston, since the Spring, absorbing the attention and interest of the whole community, though appointments were made fur the meeting of the Commissiou, cir- 41 322 cums'tances of the character intimated prevented them from -completing the task committed. They are not prepared to admit that this is a matter of regret. The work contemplated, when completed, will be of such importance to the State, that any time spent upon it will not be considered as lost. Even if the Commission had been able to conclude their duties, it is apparent that the book could not be published during the war, for the Want of materials. They believe that in.another year, a final report can be made, and the work he in a positipn to be presented to the judgment of the Legislature for adoption. . Resolved, That the Senate do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the House of Representatives for concurrence. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S. In the House of Representatives, December 16, 1863. Resolved, That the House do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the Sentate. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H. R. SPECIAL COMMITTEES. In tlie House of Representatives December 16, 1866. Resolved, That to evince the deep respect and gratitude for the gallant dead who have fallen in battle, it is wise and proper in the General Assembly of South CaTolina, to adopt measures for the selection and preparation of a suitable burial place, near the Capital of the State, for their interment. The Special Committee, to whom was referred the resolution to adopt measures for the selection of a suitable burial place for the gallant dead who have fallen in battle, report: That the sufferings of war are now pressing on our people. . The rage of battle has left its marks in our land—our homes been desolate—fields and flocks ravaged by the vandal foe. Our men of every class have left their dwellings, and with musket and knapsack girded on, have joined our armies to meet the invader. We miss many gallant spirits from their seats in this House. We see them not in the streets—we meet them not in the highway—in the home circle they are gone. The mother sighs under the absence of her husband, whose love had made him the father of her children; the youth of tender years, who Was used to rise with the morn, and wend his way afield-^-he, with his burnished armor, is beside his seniors in the strife. Countless are they who live not to tell the tale of woe; but all-yield sub- mission, and repine not. We receive consolation when wre cast an eye to the future ; and, however trying may be the scenes through which we have to pass, we are still hopeful of a high and glorious end, and for those who shall succeed us, a'good inheritance. To cheer the despondent, we should jiurse the imagination with the rich rewards which await the brave unhurt; to the wounded and disabled, a hospital for invalids; but it is to the gallant dead we design by our acts to do honor. Through all time, nations have paid high honors to those who have fallen in battle. The Egyptians, at a remote period, reared the towering pyramids on the arid plains of the Nile, in honor to the dead; there they stand, frowning upon , the storms and tempests that have raged and beat SU upon them. Jerusalem has her sepulchre, where the Christian kneels in humility, love and adoration to the Saviour. Mecca has its tomb, where pilgrims of Musselninn faith prostrate themselves, and offer adoration to their Prophet. Rome, the eternal city, is crowded with monuments of art devoted to her warriors and senators.. England having retained her baronial estates intact, and the principle of primogeniture made permanent, the proprietors of those domains have their cemeteries and chapels attached, where the departed repose in quiet, urrdis- turbed by desecration. England has yet another depository appropriated to her illustrious dead—it is her 'Westminster Abbey—where the great de- parted are grouped together, and, as beautifully said by Byron, "Drop upon Fox's tomb a tear, It will trickle to his rival's bier." It was of that home of the dead that Admiral Nelson, when about to bid farewell to his friends in London, to take command of the British fleet, to assail the combined'marine'of France and Spain, ejaculated—"A peer- age or Westminster Abbey." Mirabeau, the ardent and distinguished leader of the Jacobins, 4uring • the .reign of terror in France, after the abrogation of the principle of primogeniture and the division of lands was established—exclaimed, in impassioned fervhr, " the axe had struck at the roots of the Aristocracy." It was then that the "throne and the nobility were powerless—the rule of despotism destroyed. Baronial estates having had their end, the celebrated and beautiful burial place, Pere la Chaise, near Pari3, upon tile republican basis was determined,, where all.of modest fame could obtain a section for their interment. There tbo stands in Place Vendome the brazen column reared in honor to- Napoleon the First—the triumphal arch to victory—and the Madeleine to the Field Marshals. Soon after the conquest of our first independence, South Carolina enacted a similar law of inheritance. It prescribes an equality in distribution—-is republican in theory, and in practice,—is hostile and preclusive to prece- dence of distinct castes—and they, therefore, who indulge in such illusive preferences, without baronial acres to sustain them, permanently fixed, will, forsooth, find their dreams resting oh a baseless fabrick, and that no mauso- leum will paint to their graves. Experience has taught us that the grow- ing tendency of equality in distribution, will subdue the nobly proud to a level of the humble.' Individuality will cower—but State, pride will rise and flourish, and become powerful in strength, by the energies of a devoted, 825 patriotic and gallant soldiery, whose watch-word is honor, and whose pay is renown. , The war in which the Southern Confederacy is now engaged, is one of necessity, is sustained by all that is sacred on earth—and when Cod ani- mates a people, the sublime power inspires them with fortitude and courage, to suffer countless ills and deprivations, to accomplish their destined task. To promote the object of the resolution referred 'to the Committee, is to recommend that the remains of those who had surrendered their lives in the cause of the Confederacy should have a place for their interment, and to assure their relatives and friends, that whilst the Confederacy endures, they shall be guarded with vigilance—and that the officer and soldier, shall rest together/side by side, as they fell in the field of battle. 'The Committee therefore recommend, that a commission, consist ing of John L. Manning, Benj. E. Perry. M. LuBorde, Mr. If icrnsee, Beaufort T. "Watts arid E. J. Arthur, be appointed to select a suitable burial place, near Columbia, for the officers and soldiers Who have gallantly fallen iu defence of the Southern Confederacy, and also those who may hereafter fall, aud that the commission report at the next session of the Legislature. Resolved, That the House do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. II. R. In the Senate, December 17, 1868. Resolved, That the Senate do concur in the report. Ordered, That it be returned to the House of Representatives. By order, W M. E. MARTIN, C. S- In the House of Representatives, December 17, 1868. The Special Committee on the reports of the Soldiers' Boards of Relief, ask leave to report: That they have had under consideration' the returns el'- 326 the Soldiers' Boards of Relief, and have consolidated them, as appears in the tabular statement which accompanies this report. Some of the Districts and some of the Parishes have made no returns—others have not given the number of families, or the individuals supplied; the, statement is there- fore imperfect, -but may be useful hereafter, as it stands. The Committee recommend that the statement be printed in the Reports and Resolutions of the G-erieral Assembly. Resolved, That the House do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H. R. In the Senate, December 17, 1863.

That he went to a large expenditure of time and money to prepare himself to complete the contract. From the evidence in the petition, and from testimony taken before the Committee, they are satisfied that the different items of expense set out in the account annexed to the petition, were actually incurred by the petitioner, for the purpose alone of carrying out his contract in good faith.

Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. - By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H. R. In the Senate, December 17, 18Q3,. Resolved, That the Senate do concur in the report. , . Ordered, That it be returned to the House of Representatives. By order, WM. E. MARTIN, C. S. In the House of Representatives, December 17, 1863. The Committee on Internal Improvements, to which was referred the report of the Solicitor of the Northern Circuit,, in relation to the Rocky Mount Canal, ask. leave to submit the following report: The Solicitor makes no statement of facts within his own knowledge in relation to the subject, 437 but his report is accompanied by a lette/* from Dr. Wm. Cloud, of which the Solicitor says, the statements therein contained, he has had no oppor- tunity to investigate, but is satisfied they are substantially true. The letter of Dr. Cloud states substantially, that the Rocky Mount Canal has long been useless and abandoned by the State, and finding, the past summer, that the choking-up of the culverts had ruined one of his springs, and rendered two of his bottoms too wet for cultivation,-and being greatly in want of iron, he took up some "of the culvert Work (iron), and by ditch- ing, reclaimed the land and spring, and sent the iron to be cast into a mill and boilers for sorghum. The residue of the iron not used, he sent to Columbia and sold to William Glaze., for nine hundred and sixty-six dollars twenty-two cents- ($966 22). The total amount he was allowed for the iron was sixteen hundred and - forty-three dollars, seventy-two cents ($1,- 643 72).' The letter can be referred to for further particulars. Upon the foregoing state of facts, the Solicitor recommends that Dr. Cloud be authorized to'pay into the public treasury the sum of $966 22, and that he be relieved from further responsibility on account of the transaction, unless upon investigation by the Legislature, the amount re- tained should be too liberal a compensation. There c&n be no doubt but the interference with the material used iu the construction of the canal, was a violation of a Statute passed for the protection of public property of this description—(6 Stat. 217, sec. 14)— and under this Statute, a defendent was convicted, in the year 1846, for removing six or seven large hewn stone from a waste-weir of the Rocky Mount Canal, the same where the trespass was committed by Dr. Cloud. (2 Rich. 179.) It is true the canal has never been used for the purposes intended; but the State has not relinquished or abandoned its right to re-open and use the canal, and certainly not to the material. used in its construction. Your Committee are not in the possession of facts to enable them to say what damage, if any, has resulted from the trespass, whether the amount for which the iron sold was a full and fair price, and whether the amount retained by Dr. Cloud wduld he no mere than a reasonable com- pensation for his trouble in removing the iron, even if a trespasser, should be allowed compensation for an illegal act. The facts more properly belong to the Solicitor of the Circuit, and after thej are ascertained from the acknowledged ability and efficiency of that officer, the State will suffer no detriment by referring the matter to his official discretion. They therefore recommend the adoption of the follow- ing resolution: 438 Resolved, That the subject matter of the report be referred to the Solicitor of the Northern Circuit, for the purpose of investigating the facts of the case, and taking such action as the circumstances require; and that he report his action and the result th the next General Assembly. Resolved, That the House do agree to the report. Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for concurrence. . By Order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. II. 11. In the Senate, December 17, 1863.

Your Committee report that the work has been done under the personal supervision of Mr. Williman, and recommend the following joint resolution: Resolved, That the Treasurer do pay to Jacob Williman, Esq., five hundred and sixteen (516) 'dollars, the amount of his bill of expenses for removing the Library of the Court of Appeals from Charleston to Columbia.

In the House of Representatives, December 16, 1863. The .Committee■'■on Engrossed Acts, to wfiom was referred so much of Message No. .2, of his Excellency $h.e governor, as relates to furnishing the Executive with copies of resolutions which may devolve, upon him the per- form an ce of any duties, and also on the report of the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, on a resolution requiring, the Clerks of each House to furnish the Governor with copies of resolutions, ask leave to report: That they hfive considered the question presented in the 'Message* apd the report, and they are of opinion that to adopt the report of the Senate would be to make the Clerks the judges of what was or was not important to he communicated, and thus to change the responsibility of the proper officer.' To require the Clerks io1 send indiscriminately to the Executive, certified copies of/all resolutions relating to the'Executive Department, im- mediately on the p'assage, would entail, upon the Clerks h very heavy additional duty, and in many cases, the copies sent would be useless to the Executive, and only cumber him with matters which would not require immediate action; find to require or authorize the Clerks to discriminate, would he open to the objection above stated, and as the Governor is regu- larly furnished the Journals of both Houses every day, and^ his attention would thus be called to any resolution roffered, and could call upon the Clerks to furnish the same from day to day, but as the Journal of the last day of the session is not furbished, the Committee are of opinion that some provision ought tq f>e made to meet this difficulty. The Committee also agree in the importance of having all . joint resolutions of a strictly public character, and which have the force of law, engrossed and printed with the Acts, they therefore recommend the following resolution : Resolved, That the Clerks of the Senate and House of Representatives be required to furbish to his Excellency the Governor, certified copies of any resolution or other .matter requiring his action or affecting his depart- ment at any time during*the session, upon being called upon by the Gov- emor or his Secretary for the, same, and that the said Clerk shall furnish certified, copies of all such matters passed upon oh the last day of the session, as soon as practicable^ after the adjournment, without being ealled upon. ( , 56 442 And the Committee recommend that a message be sent to the Senate, asking leave to amend their report so as to conform to the above resolution. Resolved, That the House do agree to the report. By order, JOHN T. SLOAN, C. H R. In the Senate, December 16, 1863. Resolved, That the Senate do concur in the first resolution appended to the report.

THIRD REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF S. C. OFFICE OF STATE AUDITOR, S. C. Columbia, 17th. December, 1863. To -the Honorable the Senate and House of ' Representatives of South Carolina: , I have just had submitted to me the appraisements made uneler the negro labor Act of December, 1862, in two of the cases of claims for slaves lost in the public service, which have been reported upon at the present session of the General Assembly. These appraisements materially reduce the valuations allowed by my previous reports in these two cases. Op claim No. 145 of Humphrey Gibson, the amount allowed upon the evidence then before me, was' $3,750, while the appraisement under the Act now submit- ted, is $2,000. And on claim No. 155 of Thomas W. Chiles, the amount allowed was $4,000, and the appraisement under the Act is $1,800, As the appraisements directed to be made under the Act of December, 1862, are declared to be conclusive of the value of the slaves employed in the public service; and as the amounts allowed on claims for the loss of such slaves have, thus far, conformed in all cases to the said appraisements whenever they have been brought to my notice, I am reluctantly constrain- ed to ask your attention at this late period of the session, to the above two claims, and to respectfully recommend that the payments directed to be made thereon, conform to the appraisements under the Act herewith sub- mitted, viz: On claim No. 145 of Humphrey Gibson, two thousand dollars, and on claim No. 155 of Thomas W. Chiles, eighteen hundred dollars. Respectfully submitted, JAMES TU.PPER, Auditor of S. C. RESOLUTIONS. INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE. In the Senate, November 24, 1863.
