brought down the hammer and the militia

Lieut (iovei nor I'nderwood addressed
the Snators at closing, in his own true but
graphic habit. A resolution of thanks
had previously been voted by the Senate
for his ability" and courtesy in the dis
charge of hi- official duties. I enclose
bis remarks for the fine allusion to our
later and latest troubles :
Senators, I avail myself of this op
nortunity to thank vou for your kind re
solves in regard to the discharge of my
official duties, and for my peesonal welfare
I owe to you a debt of gratitude for your
courtesy and your generous aid in support
ing me in the performance of this respon
sible and delicate tiosition, which I shall
never be able to repay. The position of
our national affairs has imposed upon us
duties more responsible than any that have
fallen upon any other period of the history
of the world, for with us the right of the
people to govern themselves must tie main
tained, or perish from the earth.
We have demonstrated the great proo-
. ,em of our government; tz : its power
j bei th - ho, , ical res0urces to
i 1 .
bear upon a threatened destruction of our
government. And the only question now
to be determined is, whether our ability
as equal to the occasion. The hiss of the
rattlesnake is heard on one hand, and the
growl f the British lion on the other.
The first must be silenced. And if the
British flag is to cover traitors in their re
bellious designs.the lion will growl in vain.
Tht Briti-h tia must eeav- to hide, the
-2.
escape of fugitives from Tjustice or .stand
as open enerni'v. And may God give us
strength to liieet tin; isgqe. Once more
except my thanks for your courtesy."
The following urianiinonJ resolve was
propos-ed by Senator Rice this afternoon :
liesoh-ed, That the Senate tender to
Henry ("lark, Secretary of the Senate,
their unqualified approbation for the faith
ful and gentlemanly manner in which he
has performed hi duties during the pres
ent, session.

been submitted to the inspection of the
Cernmittet. nor have :hy received from
him any explanations in regatd to the bal
ance that has been reported from year to
year as remaining in Ins tianijls.
The Committee examined with great
care ar.d minuteness the books and ac
counts oi the Governor, looking over ev
ery bill of every description, and, in near
ly ali cases, in al! its detail-, with a vi'-w
to ascertain its character, and to form an
opinion as tit r as they could ot its neces
sity, as well it- to see that it was correctly
extended, added and receipted. In a few
cases they found -light clerical errors, in
bills certified by various military officers,
which had. at the tiuie of their payment,
escaped notice, or were not deemed ot
sutneieri? importance under the circum
stances to be corrected.
The Committee did not make a minute
examination of the Regimental pay rolls,
that had been certified by the Auditor of
this State, the drawing his warrants for
their payment being simply an executive
duty of the Governor, involving 1.0 other
responsibility on his part.
As far as the Committee could judge,
they are of the opinion that the expendi
tures made by the Governor were judi
cious, and made with a proper re-ard to
economy, and that the accounts, as submit
ted to the Governor for payment, were
carefully scrutinized with a view to seeing
that no undue advantage was taken of the
State Treasury.
Your Committee intended to have pre
sented a comparative statement of the ex
penses of each regiment, but time has
failed them for this, and they can only say
that in their opinion there ws a gradual
dimunition of expenses, and that the 6th
Regiment, though in all the particulars of
its equipment equal, if not superior to its
predecessors, was raised, equipped and
dispatched, under the sole direction of the
Governor, at an expense to the State of
thousands of dollars less than any other
that was fully equipped by the State.
It appears by a statement, obtained
from the Treasurer of the State, that the
Ex-Governor drew warrants on him to
the amount of $589,695 98, including a
few warrants drawn by Governor Hol
brook, at Governor Fairbanks' request,
all of which warrants have been paid by
the Treasurer.

that the Ex-Governor hasi exhibited re
ceipts for the whole of this amount, ex

deeds vou so nobly emulated, w u-ii ier to
you the kouiage of our respect. We honor
you as an eminent, scientific navigator and
exnlorer, as airallant and lueii.orious oUaer
ot our navy, and for the sagacity, judgment,
decision and firmness which characterized
your recer.t brilliant achievement, the etTect
of which upon the present rebellion tua
prove i.ot less imporfant than the elorioua
naval victories on the Southern coast. Ac
cept then, Sir, this heartfelt tribute to your
merits and to that branch of the public ser
vice which is now so nobly and successfully
vindicating the interests of our govern
ment and the tnaiesty of our constitution.
With this brief expression of our feelings, I
again welcome you to the hornet and the
hearts of our citizer-g.
Afier the applause had subsided Capt.
Wilkes, in full uniform, came forwardjand re
sponded in the following language:
Mr. Mayor and Friends:! am deeply
ttasible for the great kindness which has
been shown roe. 1 depended upon my own
judgment in doing what you all have flatter
ed me is correct, and I am exceedingly grati
fied with the manifestations of approval 1
bare met and which have been, I may say, a
spontaneous outburst from all parts of our
country. I have only to say that we did our
duty to the Union, and are prepared to do it
ajjain. (Immense applause.)
Call were tben made for Lieut. Fairfax
and others. The former being absent, Lieut.
Cook was introduced and bowed bis thanks.
This closed the formal reception, after
which several thousand citizens were intro
duced to the honored gents of the occasion.
A committee of leading citizens have tendered
Capt. Wiliest and officers of the Saa Jacito a
