S, '»c »fl>hle^att*s on Thursday, with the Report
w°^tlve Counci1’ ln rotation to the detection
oi the late Treasurer’s defalcation.
„ Richmond, Jam:anj 5, lyoj).
J o the Governor ok Virginia.
Sir: In consequence of a resolution adopted bv the
House of Delegates on the 2d instant, calling 'upon
, ° executive tor certain information in rolatiou to
the detection of the late. Treasurer in the defalcation
that was discovered in March last, it becomes neces
sary and proper that I should submit the following
statement, which I respectfully ask may be communi
cated to the House. 1 was a member oft he commit
tee whoso duty it became to make known the dotal
cation aforesaid; and 1 most willingly disclose every
Circumstance ami tact connected with this transaction
which came within my knowledge, and which may be
calculated in any degree to show ‘-how the discover*
whs made, in what manner, and at what time it was
made.
Two members of the Executive Council arc a:>
rnintod as it is known to the Legislature every thr • •
months to examine the Auditors’ and Treasurer’s
Recounts. Tins duty devolves upon each Councillor
once a year. Mr. Pendleton and myself were associ
ated in the pellorniance of it. mid the quarter endin.r
on the Jlst or December, is that portion of the year
whose fiscal transactions it has belonged to us to
examine.
u is proper that I should Imre etute before T pro
ceed further in the detail of the fuels which willtblfow,
toHt. I had not the slightest suspicion of nny miscon
duct on the part of the Treasurer, until I think, about
tt w';'“k hutow Ills tragical end, and the discovery of
j.ie defalcation. As a man of integrity he stood as
i in my estimation, ns nny citir.en of* ♦ho cnmaion
11 '*• * v.-as on terms of great intimacy with him.
1 mention these tacts to show, hovv difficult it was
under such circumstances, to admit into my mind, anv
tiling like suspicion as to his integrity, j knew r.o
thmg of his private transactions, or jjMit aiubirroM
incnts, until some weeks before his death. The law
requiring the committee “to repair to the Treasury
office at. the r>ul of the quarter for the purpose of
examining the settlement made !>y the Auditor end
1 reasurer; detecting errors in such settlement it"
there be any; ascertaining the money on deposit mi
r. ,ie Bunks, and the money in the Treasury; which
committee shall make report thereof to the Uxccti- \
’uye. and it it shall appear ! n t heir satisfaction that the i
I reasurer * has misapplied the public monev or trea- i
committed to Ins care, it is made tiie duty of the '
ijjcoeutive to displace him and appoint a successor.” ,
In orderio comply strictly with ‘his law. as far as it !
i.ari he complied with, (for it. is impossible to execute
it literally, although in its spirit and object it may be)
i had given notice to the Treasurer, and I believe
Itir. iVndleton had also, some months before the peri
od of examination lind arrived, that it would be nec. s
s. ury for him •«> .idiuit us in.o th- Treasury Office, on

t t.’c Banks close af t o’clock—the time when thr '
t. ma-- urv closes, and before the Treasury Office • 1 |
it is frequently necessary for the Treasurer to bn;
f.bsent from it, having public business to set Be with !
the Banks. He therefor-.* informed us that it woid*! j
Ire more convenient it we er.-jid come into the office i
on *he morning after the elose of the quarter, before :
liie business ot the treasury commenced. To this*
suggestion we agreed, ns it wna manifest tint iljo
object of the law could be effected n •. p -rfectlv by
proceeding iu that way as if wo bad bc.-u a.iuiitte'o
into the Treasury the evening before for the
purpose of making the court. We accordingly at
tended on the morning of tiie first of lajt January,
and counted every cent of money which was produced
by the I reasurer. as having remained in his office the
evening before, and took memorandums of the same. I
vV0 then addressed letter" to the Presidents of the
t'to Bunks, in which we request sd -them to inform itb
* of tin- amount ot mnniett m their respective Banks to 1
fbe _.-edit .1) the commonwealth” at the close of the i
quarter ending on the ;;i Dec. I Hz7. On the next duy |
xve received answers from the Presidents of the two :
Banks, stating the amounts of the public monies on |
deposit in the ir respective Banks, to the credit of ?be .
commonwealth. Adding the sums thus reported f rom I
I ne Banks to that whir. 1 we had counted in the office.1
and comparing th.- whole with the Auditors’ books, j
(which was done ns soon as it. could be done) iia ,-i
poured that there were about £• >*Jfi outre in tiie j
treasury, than ought to he there. This overohis1
was very rationally accounted for. upon the sup-i
position that chocks had been issued bv the
Treasurer which liad not been presented fbr pay
uient at the Banks. Oi course, it appeared that the i
public funds had not been misapplied, arid that ever*,
thing was clone which ought to have been don *. Mr. j

to prosecute tbeinvestiia ion iiirth r. I wen: to the j
I*anne-rs’ think and lunfa conversation With jtr. *\e
ke; vis, the result ul which was, that, he thought, it i
vves possible a fraud might ho practised by making a j
deposit of n chock at the end of a month. I-feliad re- j
irerrH to ms books, and gave me a memorandum of!
on ' for &),880, expres sing at tin same tirn.* the opin- j
am. that it was probably made with a view of eouiUi- j
».ing tl-? nepnaits. Mr; Nekervis savs he mentioned
o.hv'r cheek from the Built of Virginia, but if he!
did I bud r.o memorandum of :t, nor bavo i huv re- !
coiluef^on of it, at ibis time—Never having heard’ of a !

-pii y info one, would suffice. I consulted the books
in the ‘2nd Auditor s Office, nnd could find no pay- i
!ii" :t widen v. oulu jutif sn Ij ;i deposit as the ono

fed !o fho na-'‘iage cf u hill requiring the deposits to j
be made to the r\edit oft ho commonwealth instead ofi
the Treasurer—Whoever ethers might think of it, I ;
whs very certsm the Treasurer could not object to it!
iro:n any orhov mo'i\r. but. to abuse his trust. But'
>M"p.ri;.us nrc net proofs. About the 20th of March, j

subject of a deposit of«. chek on the last of a month
was renewed by Air. Nekcrvis and myself; ho snokeof

As soon as 1 was inutic sensible cf the nature of

THE WAGONER.
I vrvottcn thought if I were ask’d,
Whose lot I envied most.
What one I thought moat lightly taslccd
Of man’s unnuinber’d host,
I’d sav, I'd he a mountain boy,
And urive a noble team, wo-hov!
Wo-hoy! I’d cry,
j And lightly fly
I Into r»iy saddle strut;
; My rein I’d slack.
My whip I’d crack;
1 ' What music is so bwocM
Six blacks I’d drive of ample chcsl,
All carrying high the head,
All harness'd tight and gaily dresft
In winkers tipp’d with red.
Oh yes. I’d be a mountain boy,
And such a team I d drive, wo-hoy!
Wo-hoy! I’d cry,
The lint should fly;
Wo-hoy, Dobbin!—Ball!
Their u et should ring
And I would sing.
I’d sing my fid de ral.
I
I
!
.
:
:
My belte would tingle, tingle-Iit\g,
Beneath each bearskin cap, |
\nd as I saw them awing and swine,
I’d be the merriest chap.
Yes, then I'd be r mountain boy,
And drive a jingling loam wo-hov!
Wo-hoy! I d cry, " j
My words should fly,
Ktioh horse would prick his epr,
With tighten’d chnin,
My lumbering u-ain, v
Would move in its career.
The golden sparks you’d see them spring
Beneath my horses’ tread,
Fach tail I d braid it up with string
Of blue or fluuntiug red:
So docs you know the uinnn'aiu bov
1 Who drives his dashing team, wo-hov !
Wo-ho! I’d cry,
Each horse’e eye,
I With fire would seem to burn;
Wit!i filled head
Aod nostril spread,
Tlcy’d seem the earth to spurn.
They’d champ the bit and fling the loirn,
As on they dragged my load,
__ And I would think of distant home,
And whistle upon the road.
Oh would I were a mountain bov.
And drove r six horse team wo-hoy I
Wo-hoy' I d cry:
Now by yon sky,
I'd sooner dj ive those steeds,
M ban win renown,
Or wear a crown,
Won by victorious deeds.
I'or crowns oft press the languid Tread,
And health the wearer uhuns.
And victory trampling on the dead.
May do for Goths an.T linns.
Seek them who will—they have no joys,
For mountain ladsund wagon hoys.

Mosl &tjiboltral .Vunler!—Wo learn from Capt.
, v.rner, <d tho Matthews Packet, that un inquest way
Y, 1 ou Sumlfly la-t over the body of Mrs. A?
1 bitciiETT, a respectable lady, between 45-and £0
vears of ago, wife of Capt. John Pritchett, of'New
Point Couiiort; found in a dry well on her farm, a short
distance Irom her dwelling, where she had been
thrown by the murderers oiler committing the^hock
lng deed. From the evidence adduced to the jury,
tfoin circumstantial information derived from tho
neighbors, ami from the subsequent confession of th i
wretches, two negroes by the name of Henry and
A>tcA\ who have been apprehended and committed to
.Matthews Jail, ns represented to vs by Cftpt. T.
and a neighbor who accompanied him. we have ob
ltho following particulars of this horrid affbir.
On Wednesday, d 1st ult. Capt. Pritchett being from
heme, the first named of the negroes, Henry, a hire
ling, entered the house and demanded from Mrs. P
aoirm change which she bad promised him some tU»A
before, ana upon her stating that it was out of her
power to pav anything until her husband returned,
whic.i would be in a few days, he swore he would bo
paid immediately, and, on that night, with the asate
unce ot Dick, who belonged to C’upt. P. he brutally
murdered tho old lady, by strangling and suffocating
her, as was decided by the inquest, from the marks of
violence upon her,throat &•. about her head. They then
I brew the body uitou well near tho house, which wits
not used and almost dry. They next proceeded to
rummage tho house and trunks in quest of money, of
which, they sav, they found only three dollurs, one of
which Dick has siucc given up.
i it. urn Know o* ttiis shocking occnrrenec
was obtained bv Mr. Johnson, keeper of the Light
House on New l’uint. whosendiog a messHgeto Mrs.
P. on New Anars day, and learning from her mur
utrrors, that she was v.rrv sick in bed and afterwards
hearing nothing from her, ult hough the most triendl v '
i^imocy subsisted between their families, suspected
that all was not right, and calling a neighbor, they
proceeded to the house. They found it deserted, and
uter searching all the apartments, without succegB,
.or Mrs. P. extended their examination to various
ports of the plantation, when on passing the well spo
ken of above, they found the body crammed into it
and covered over. The negroes on leaving tho sceoa
"f their hut cilery, went to several of tho neighbouring
.louses, and upon inquiry being made, why they hud
Ml Mrs. Pritchett alone' on the plantation, they said,
>y way of diverting suspicion from them when the
hortid deed should become public, that she had plenty
of company with her, for several sailors had come
i6hore there, und demanded liquor, provisions, &c.
swearing that they would throw her into the well, if
she did not give them what they required.
These circumstances caused* the arrest of the vil
lains and their commitment, since which, it is said,
they have confessed the whole matter.
