Extract from the Journal of Congress. THURSDAY, October 2. 1788.
THE committee consisting of Mr. Howard, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Dayton, Mr. Gilman and Mr. Carrington, appointed to make full enquiry into the proceedings in the department of war, beg leave to report, and to present to the view of Congress a summary statement of the various branches of the department of war.
1st—Of the troops in service of the United States. The troops at present in service on the frontiers, were raised for three years, in consequence of the resolves of Congress passed April, 1785. The establishment was to consist of the field and company commissioned officers, and seven hundred non-commissioned officers and privates, to be raised agreeably to the proportions specified, by the states of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania; about four hundred recruits were engaged in 1785, and about one hundred and eighty in 1786, and marched to the Ohio, except a small garrison of an officer, one sergeant and fifteen privates, stationed at West Point. The further completion of the establishment was prevented by a deficiency of the public finances.
Of the non-commissioned officers and privates engaged in 1785, about three hundred and fifty-eight remain in service, but are, or soon will be entitled to their discharge; and those enlisted in 1786, will be entitled to be also discharged, previous to July 1789.
In order to replace the deficiencies which would arise from the expiration of the terms of enlistment, Congress on the 3d of October, 1787, made a provision for re-enlisting seven hundred non-commissioned officers and privates, and apportioned them on the same states which had raised the troops in 1785, in order to re-enlist as many as possible of the old soldiers.
It appears by information of the secretary at war, that the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have fully complied with the acts of Congress of the 3d of October, 1787. But that the late legislature of the state of New York omitted to pass the necessary laws for this purpose, although it is highly probable that the business will be effected early in the first session of the legislature.
That it appears from the letter of brigadier general Harnar, of the 15th of June last, that the officers under his command have in consequence of the resolves of the 3d of October, 1787, re-enlisted one hundred and seventy-one non-commissioned officers and privates—about one hundred and ninety recruits will march from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut for the Ohio, in the course of the present month, and sixty from Connecticut in August or the beginning of September, amounting to two hundred and fifty new recruits. When these shall arrive on the frontiers the number of troops will be as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Troop Type, Number. Rows: Non-commissioned officers and privates, 174; Having to serve until the year 1789, 174; Re-enlisted at the several posts, 171; New recruits marched from the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut, 250.
Besides the before recited troops, there are in the service two companies of artillery, raised by virtue of the resolves of Congress of the 20th of October, 1786, and retained in service by the resolve of Congress of the 9th of April, 1787, and a small detachment at West Point of thirteen non-commissioned officers and privates, raised by virtue of the acts of Congress of April, 1785.
These companies of artillery were each completed on the first of May, 1787, to the establishment of seventy non-commissioned officers and privates; but they have been exceedingly reduced by desertion since this period. This unworthy conduct has been induced principally from an inequality in their treatment, they being held in service while others enlisted on the same terms, by virtue of the resolves of the 20th of October, 1786, have been discharged, combined also with the irregularity of their payments. Both of these companies amount at present only to seventy-one non-commissioned officers and privates. They have served about one half the term for which they were engaged, and have yet to serve about eighteen months. The secretary at war intended to have had them completed early in the present year, and to have ordered one of them to the frontiers; but money and clothing could not be obtained in season for this object.
One of the companies is stationed at West Point on Hudson's river, and the other at the arsenal at Springfield, on Connecticut river. A garrison at West Point appears to be essential for guarding the valuable public property which is deposited there: Springfield might probably be entrusted to an officer and fifteen non-commissioned and privates.
The time which these companies have to serve is not so great as to justify the filling them up and marching them to the frontiers, unless there should be some pressing demand for the measure. The most economical arrangement would be, to reduce the commissioned officers of one company, and transfer the non-commissioned officers and privates to the other, which would complete the same. To be opposed to this measure, is the consideration how far such a conduct would be politic, as it respects that kind of security of employment so necessary to a due preparation for the proper performance of the duties of an officer. The annual pay and subsistence of one captain and two lieutenants of artillery amount to thirteen hundred and eighty dollars, which would be the saving by the reduction of the officers of one of the companies.
These facts are submitted for the consideration of Congress. The services of the small detachment at West Point will soon terminate with their enlistments.
The inspector of the troops has been discharged agreeably to the orders of Congress of the 25th of June.
2d—Of the clothing for the troops. The troops enlisted in 1785 have already received two complete suits, and most of them have one year's clothing complete due to them.
Provision was made for the third year's clothing, but the secretary at war has been constrained to apply it for the recruits; otherwise they could not have been enlisted, good clothing being the greatest inducement for a recruit to enlist into the service.
The board of treasury have advertised for a contract for clothing, and hope to succeed; in which case the old soldiers who have re-enlisted will receive their third suit in October next. Those of this description who will be discharged, will probably prefer a compensation in money to the
The troops on the frontiers, enlisted in 1785, have also received two suits of clothing, and will, if the board of treasury succeed in their contract, duly receive their third suit.
The two companies of artillery raised in Massachusetts, have received only one year's clothing—they will probably receive their second suit in the ensuing October.
3d—Of the pay of the troops. The troops have generally been paid up to the first of January 1787, and the officers have had their subsistence and forage money paid up to the first of April, 1788. Both officers and soldiers appear satisfied in this respect. But as about two hundred non-commissioned officers and privates will be discharged, during the present year, it will be necessary that the treasury board devise some mode to make them satisfactory payment. The balance due the troops to the first day of July is estimated at sixty-five thousand dollars.
4th—Of the stations occupied by the troops on the frontiers. FORT FRANKLIN—On French Creek, near to the post formerly called Venango, is a small strong fort with one cannon, was erected in 1775, and garrisoned with one company. The excellent construction and execution of this work reflects honor on the abilities and industry of captain Hart, who garrisoned it with his company, and who was his own engineer.
This post was established for the purpose of defending the frontiers of Pennsylvania, which are much exposed by the facility with which the Indians can cross from Lake Erie, either to French Creek or to the Jedburgh lake and the Conneaut-wango branch, and thence descend the rapid river Allegheny.
FORT PIT—Has only an officer and a few men to receive the supplies and dispatches forwarded to the troops by the secretary at war.
FORT MINTOS—Is ordered to be demolished and a block-house to be erected in lieu thereof a few miles up the Big-Beaver Creek to protect the communication up the same, and also to cover the country.
FORT HARMAR—At the mouth of Muskingham, is a well constructed fort, with five bastions and three cannons mounted.
It is at present garrisoned with four companies and is considered as head quarters, being conveniently situated to reinforce any of the posts either up or down the river Ohio.
FORT STEUBEN—At the Rapids of the Ohio, on the west side, is a well constructed small fort, with one cannon, and is garrisoned with a major and two companies. This post is established to cover the country from the incursions of the Indians, and it also serves as a post of communication to post Vincennes on the Wabash.
POST VINCENNES—On the Wabash, is a work erected during the year 1787, and has four small brass cannons. It is garrisoned by a major and two companies.
It is established to curb the incursions of the Wabash Indians into the Kentucky country, and to prevent the usurpation of the federal land, the fertility of which have been too strong a temptation to the lawless people of the frontiers, who posed themselves there in force in the year 1786. Brigadier general Harnar, by orders of Congress, formed an expedition in August, 1787, for the purpose of dispossessing them, but previously to his arrival, most of the intruders had abandoned their settlement.
5th—Of the discipline of the troops. Ample instructions have been repeatedly transmitted by the secretary at war to the commanding officer, relative to the various objects for which the troops are placed on the frontiers.
The posts they were to occupy, and the nature of the fortifications to be erected have been pointed out.
The discipline of the troops, and particularly the soldierly and habitual vigilance most especially necessary to be observed in such exposed situations, have been inculcated and enforced, in the strongest terms; as also has been the economy essential to the various staff departments.
And there are good reasons to believe, that the numerous and distant posts on the Ohio, and its communications, are well regulated in all respects dependent on the commanding officers; and that the troops practice as high a degree of discipline as the nature of the detached service in which they are employed will possibly admit.
6th—Of the mode in which the troops are furnished with provisions. In the year 1785, Mr. James O'Harra made a contract with the board of treasury for furnishing the several posts on the frontiers with rations, which were to consist of
Table with 2 columns: Item, Quantity. Rows: One pound of beef, or three quarters of a pound of pork; One pound of bread or flour, One gill of common rum, One quart of salt, Two quarts of vinegar, Two pounds of soap, One pound of candles. Note: for every 100 rations.
The prices of which at the several posts where the troops were actually stationed were as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Post, Price. Rows: At Fort Pitt, 13 1/2 ninetieths of a dollar; At M'Intosh, 13 1/2 ditto; At Harmar, 11 1/2 ditto.
This contract was performed tolerably well, some complaints were made respecting particular posts, but the defects were perhaps inseparably connected with the state of the frontiers and of public affairs.
In 1786, a contract was formed by the board of treasury for the same objects, with messieurs Turnbull, Marmie and Co. the articles of the ration to consist of the same as the preceding, and the prices thereof,
Table with 2 columns: Post, Price. Rows: At Fort Pitt 13 1/2 ninetieths of a dollar, M'Intosh 13 1/2 ditto, Harmar 11 1/2 ditto.
There were some stipulations for payment by warrants on the state of Pennsylvania, which were paid in the paper currency by the said state, when greatly depreciated. This contract was ill executed, and the mode of payment was assigned by the contractors as the reason.
In 1787 a contract was formed by the board of treasury with Mr. James O'Harra, at the prices herein stated.
Table with 2 columns: Post, Price. Rows: Fort Pitt 9 1/2 ninetieths of a dollar, M'Intosh 10 1/2 ditto, Harmar 11 1/2 ditto, Rapids of the Ohio 13 1/2 ditto, Venango 14 ditto.
This contract was better executed than any of the former. The payments were generally made in warrants on New-Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
A new contract has been formed, to take effect from the 1st of July of the present year to the end of the year 1789, by messieurs Elliot and Williams, of Maryland, at the following prices.
Table with 2 columns: Post, Price. Rows: The terms of payment by warrants on Maryland. Fort Pitt 7 ninetieths of a dollar, M'Intosh the same, Harmar the same, Rapids of the Ohio 7 1/2 ninetieths of a dollar, Fort Vincennes 16 ditto, Venango 9 ditto.
7th—Of the quartering department. The quartering department is the most
expensive is arranged on principles highly economical and beneficial to the public.
Instead of an officer at the head of this department, with his train of attendants, all supplies are furnished by the contractors or provision, who have also from time to time contracted with the secretary at war to furnish all necessary articles on the frontiers, which shall be required for the troops, on the following principles:
1st. No article to be furnished but by an order in writing from the commanding officer of the troops, or the commanding officer of a separate post, who shall be responsible to the secretary at war, that only such articles shall be ordered, as the situation of the troops render indispensably necessary.
2d. That for all articles so furnished, the original Bills of parcels shall be produced by the contractor, which shall be verified upon oath if required.
3d. That no charge shall be allowed the contractors which shall be deficient in the vouchers, the nature of which are precisely pointed out.
4th. That for all supplies, advances and services rendered in this line, the contractor shall have an allowance made of five per cent. on the settlement of their accounts every six months at the treasury.
All necessary articles which are furnished within the states for the troops, are purchased by the secretary at war without any commission or charge thereon to the public.
This arrangement existed previously to the resolve of Congress for abolishing the quarter-master general's department, July 25, 1785.
5th—Of the supplies to the troops. There have been forwarded to the frontiers during the present year, supplies to the troops of clothing, new tents and other articles in the quarter-master's line, and a considerable quantity of ordnance and military stores, agreeably to the invoices thereof lodged in the war-office.
The returns on the files of Congress will show the brass, and iron ordnance and the spare arms and ordnance and military stores on the frontiers.
If these are not to a pile as could be wished, yet the state of the public finances will not admit of a further supply at present.
6th—Of the ordnance department. This branch of the department of war is important and interesting to the Union.
The ordnance, arms, ammunition and all the numerous appendages and complex apparatus belonging thereto, in possession of the United States, are highly valuable, and require an incessant attention to their preservation.
The places where they are deposited are as follows:
Table with 1 column: Place. Rows: Providence in Rhode-Island, Springfield in Massachusetts, Mohawk River, West Point on Hudson's River, Philadelphia, New-London and Manchester, Virginia, Charleston, South-Carolina—besides which, there are considerable quantities of shot and shells at the furnaces at which they were cast. The proportion at the respective places are specified in the returns on the files of Congress.
The principal arsenals are at Springfield, West Point and Philadelphia.
The other places can be considered only temporary accommodations for the stores, which are to be removed as soon as permanent arsenals and magazines shall be decided on and provided by the United States.
By the information of the secretary at war, it appears that the stores are well accommodated at Springfield in wooden buildings, except the magazine which is an excellent one built of brick at the public expense in 1782.
That the powder and stores are well accommodated at West Point; although the buildings being built of wood, and the materials unseasoned, are going fast to decay.
That the stores in Philadelphia are too much dispersed in different parts of the city, and placed in buildings ill calculated for their reception.
The establishment of proper and permanent arsenals and magazines, is an object of high importance, and demands the serious attention of the government of the United States. But as the expense of erecting suitable buildings for this purpose will be great, it will perhaps be thought advisable to defer it for the present.
The arms at Springfield are new and in excellent order, the secretary at war having had the whole taken to pieces, cleaned, and placed in racks prepared for the purpose.
About five thousand arms have been repaired at West Point, and are fit for immediate service—about ten thousand of the others are supposed to be worth repairing, and this necessary work is going on at that post on a small scale. To employ the number of workmen requisite to effect the business in one year, would be too expensive for the public finances. These arms would probably on an average cost about one dollar and an half each to put them in complete order. Between four and five thousand arms are in Virginia, the most of which require repairs.
The new arms in Philadelphia are in such a state of repair as to need cleaning only; the secretary at war has been constrained to defer this operation, until a suitable building could be obtained, or an arsenal erected, in which so to deposit them that they can be kept easily in order.
The powder at Springfield and West Point, which places include the greatest quantities in possession of the public, is in excellent order; great attention has been annually paid to this article in having it aired, cleaned, proved, well packed, and also turned frequently.
The brass cannon and mortars are and will remain fit for immediate service. But it is to be remarked generally that no new carriages for the cannon, or beds for the mortars have been made since the peace. At Springfield there are a number of new cannon carriages which have never been in service; and also at West Point there are a number fit for service; but in general the carriages, which were left at the close of the war are too defective for use.
This object will require attention when the finances of the Union will admit of replacing the carriages, without which the cannon are of little service.
The ordnance and military stores at the several arsenals are under the charge of store keepers, or deputy commissaries of military stores, at the following rates of pay.
Table with 2 columns: Post, Pay. Rows: Springfield—One deputy commissary at 40 dollars per month 480; One assistant, 15 dol. per do. 180; Providence—One store keeper, 8 do. 96; West Point—One deputy commissary, at 40 dollars per month 480; Fort Herkemer, and the Mohawk river—One store keeper, at 14 3/4 90ths 172; Philadelphia—One commissary of military stores, at 41 64 90ths per month 500; One assistant, 30 dollars per do. 360; New-London, and Manchester, One deputy commissary 480; One assistant 2748.
There are also deputy commissaries having the charge of the public property in South-Carolina, and at Creble, but they will soon be discharged.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Rows: Rents of buildings and West Point, For the buildings occupied in Philadelphia 732. 67; Ditto in Virginia 300; Ditto for the port of West Point 400.
On the establishment of permanent arsenals, the expenses being collected together, the expenses anything at any other place will cease.
10th—Of West Point, on Hudson's river, and its dependencies. Congress, by their resolution of the 3d of August 1786, directed that this post, together with its dependencies contiguous thereto, as might be deemed necessary to be included within the limits of the garrison, should be purchased of the proprietor by the board of treasury, but this was not even effected, owing, as the committee has been informed, to the absence of said proprietor.
Fort Clinton, which is the principal work on the plain, having been slightly built for a temporary purpose, was occupied in such a manner that unless it could be substantially repaired, it will soon become an useless mass, as will also most of the outworks, which were made of timber.
To repair Fort Clinton with stone in a durable manner, would require the sum of six thousand dollars, and a further sum of four thousand dollars would be required to place other necessary fortifications and outworks in a proper state.
These circumstances are stated for the consideration of Congress.
11th—Of the Canadian refugees. It appears by information from the secretary at war, who has directed the business since the year 1785, that the United States for several years past have been at a great expense in supporting many Canadian families who had taken refuge within the state of New York, when the American troops abandoned Canadian in the year 1776.
That the remains of the people of this description were transported in 1786, by order of Congress, at the public expense, to certain lands on Lake Champlain, granted to them by the state of New York, and there supported with rations of provisions at the expense of the United States, until the first of September, 1787. That the number so supplied amounted to about one hundred and seventy persons per day.
That by the resolve of Congress of the 28th of October, 1787, one year's further allowance was directed to such of the aged and infirm among the said Canadians as would be unable to make provision for themselves. The rations issued under this resolve amount to forty-five per day.
12th—Of the Indian department. The communications respecting the Indian departments were directed to be made to the secretary at war, by the ordinance of Congress of the 7th of August, 1786.
That it appears from the records of the office, that the said secretary has executed the duties arising in this department from time to time, and that he has arranged this branch of his duty by itself.
13th—Of the Invalids. It appears by the information of the secretary at war, that the following states only have transferred to the war-office, descriptive lists of their invalids, required by the ordinance of Congress of June 7, 1785, to wit: New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, (statement annexed), showing the amount annually paid by each, is hereto annexed for the information of Congress.
14th—Of the army ranks. Agreeably to the directions of Congress, of the 22d October, 1787, the secretary at war has had ascertained the claims of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers in all the regular lines of the late army, and of all of the independent corps. This has been accomplished by the actual inspection of the muster rolls, and the accounts which have been settled.
The remaining part of this voluminous business is in a train of being completed in a short time.
15th—Of the war-office. The business of the war office is conducted by the secretary at war; and three clerks and a messenger, whose salaries are as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Item, Amount. Rows: The secretary at war, 2450; Three clerks, at 450 dollars per ann. each, 1350; Messenger per annum, 150.
Dollars, 3950. The contingent expenses of the office for stationery, firing, candles, and necessary conveniences for the papers, are averaged on the three last years, to amount to about one hundred and seventy six dollars for each year.
The office of assistant secretary, whose salary was one thousand dollars per annum, has been discontinued in this office, since the commencement of the year 1786.
The accounts of pay and subsistence of the troops are examined and certified at the pay office, and transmitted to the war office, on which the secretary at war issues his warrants for the amount on the pay master.
Particular registers are kept in the war office of all warrants so drawn, specifying the objects for which they were granted.
Upon the foregoing statement, your committee beg leave to observe, that having carefully examined every part of it, they are of opinion that the arrangement of the business is judicious, and that the duties of the office are executed with ability and punctuality, which reflect great honor on the secretary at war.
Your committee think it their duty further to remark that great care appears to have been taken by the secretary to reduce the expenses of his department, as well by dispensing with the office of assistant secretary formerly attached to it, and which has never been annualled by Congress, as by various economical arrangements and reforms in the other branches thereof.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by  Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company.
THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1788.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grubs and barnacles, the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement.
