Message OF the Governor Of Texas.

That portion Of the recent Message of Gov
ernor BELL to the Legislature Of Texas, on the
occasion Of submitting the boundary PROPOSE
ton, which relates to the action to be adopted
by that body in reference to the creditors Of the
State and the disposition Of the ten millions, is
we presume, Of interest TO many of our read
ers, and we accordingly publish it:
Entertaining then but little doubt from the ia
vorable expression Of the popular WILL that the
propositions made by the General Government will
be accepted by your honorable body. respectfully
suggest IN this anticipation that Immediately after
that matter shall have been decided, somc provision
be made for the communication Of the result TO the
proper authorities at Wsshingt city, with lit.
tie delay as practicable.
cit may be also necessary that the Legislature
should take into consideration other matters con
nected with this subject, and TO adopt suitable
ton in reference to II. The act of Congress sub
hitting the propositions stipulatos that the United
States will pay TO Texas ten millions of dollars in
stock bearing five per cent interest, rcdeemablc
IN fourteen years, in consideration OF her rein-
qushment OF territory, and Of all claim for liability
Of the debts OF Texas, and for compensation or in.
demnity for such public revenues and property as
were transferred to the United States at the time
Of anne1aioni but that no more than five millions
Of the stoc shall be Issued until the creditors of the
State holding bonds, other certificates of stock of
Texas, for which duties imports were specially
pledged, shall first file at the Treasury of the Uni.
ted States reesses OF all claim against the United
States for or on account of said bonds or certf.
cstes.'
at 10 TO be regretted that Congress was not moro
specific in defining, In this article the mode Of
certsininE and making known at the Federal
Treasury the amount or debt for which this five
millions of stock 10 be retained, had not
deemed the REIMBURSEMENT by the State Of all LA
sility on the part Of the United States, suffi
Gent gusrsntyj for II is manifest that the officers
of the Treasury never know, except through
the acts Of the properly authorized officers of Texas
what is the amount Of bonds or stock now due
from the State, and for which duties on imports
were specially pledged, and consequently can
never know from any other source when the time
will arrive for issuing the stock the retained five
millions. Every creditor of the State embraced in
this provision might file HE REIMBURSEMENT at the
Treasury Of the United States, and still the stock
would not be issued, because, under the law, no
mode has been prescribed for the sscertainmept
and establishment at the Treasury of the United

tional wagon and forage masters be authorized,
and that ten additional store keepers be added to
the Quartermaster's Department; also, a barrack-
master at every principal station where there is
neither quartermaster nor a storekeeper--all to
perform such duties as may be prescribed by the
Secretary of War, or directed by the Quarter
master General, or the principal quartermaster at
the station or on duty in the division depart
ment where these classes Of officers may respective
ly serve.
respectfully request that measures be adopted
to obtain more ready settlement of the accounts
Of the officers of the department at the treasury
The ofiicere compelled by law to send their
accounts for settlement within three months after
the close of the quarter in which they accrue, or
the penalty Of dismissal. These accounts often
remain unsettled for years justice requires that
the accounts be promptly settled. ! also ask that
the laws be so changed that all the accounts of
the Quartermaster's Department be settled by the
same Auditor. At present they settled by the
second and third Auditors, and it often happens
that not only vouchers in the same account, but
items in the same voucher, have to go to both Au-
diors. The property accounts have to be divided
between the two Auditors, the consequence is that
the officers of the department. well as the officers
OF the mounted corps, have to make two sets Of
property accounts in every quarter. If the pro-
posed change could be made, the accountability
would be more perfect, because the accounts would
be more simple.

servant,

The Martinsburs (Va.) Gasette pays the
following deserved tribute TO Col. RAYMOND,
the Representative of the Fifteenth Congress
sional district Of Virginia;
1.-The Fifteenth Congressional district, composed
of the counties of Harrison, Marion, Ohio, and
others, is represented as readers aware, by
the Hon. Thomas S. Raymond, energetic and
Jealous Wing, an efficient representative Of the
West, and a firm and unwaverng friend of the
Union. The course of Col Raymond in the last
Congress is eminently worthy Of praise, and has
received, IL deserved, the support Of his consttu
ents. No man could be more prompt, active, and
faithful Representative, and the voters Of the
Fifteenth Congressional district can return no man
TO Congress at it's next session who will be more
attentive TO their interests than Col. Raymond"

worth, in Missouri, and from San Antonio,
Texas, to New Mexico. Great difficulty is
found in supplying forage in New Mexico, in
consequence of the scarcity OF surplus agricul-
tural products beyond the wants of the inhabi-
tants, and of the numerous bodies of emigrants
passing to California. This difficulty can only
be obviated by securing the inhabitants both in
the cultivation and the quiet possession of their
crops. 1t is suggested that if the Pueblo In
dams were armed, and their settlements pro-
tected, they would not only increase the sup
plies by their industry but would be the best
auxiaries of our troops against the hostile
Indians.
Supplies, with extensive means of transpor-
tation, have been furnished to the troops in
Texas, who have been more like an army in
active war than in garrison. The territory
was so vast and the routes to be traversed are SO
entirely unimproved, that the expense is ex
tremely heavy. Attention is asked to the i'm
portance of improving the harbors, rivers, and
roads Of Texas, as measure which would be
worth infinitely more in the defence of the
frontier than any system of ratification.
The expenditures in the Quartermaster's
Department are influenced, not only as in the
other departments, by the increase or diminu-
tion Of numbers or grades, but by all the vary
ing circumstances of the service, as well as by
the condition and resources of the country in
which the troops are employed.
tits recommended that provision be made by
law for enlisting the mechanics, transfers, and
other operatives employed in the service, for a
period not less than two years-lnaking them
subject to the rules and articles of war. This
it is thought, will promote both economy and
efficiency. Additional barrack, forage, and
wagon masters are recommended
In conclusion, the Quartermaster General re-
quests that measures be adopted to secure a
more ready settlement Of the accounts Of the
officers of the department at the treasury
which, under the present system, often remain
unsettled for years. He also asks that the laws
may be so changed that all the accounts of the
department may be settled by the same auditor,
instead of being divided between two auditors,
as at present.
Several valuable documents, giving informa-
ton concerning the state of the service in
Oregon and California, and on our Southwest
ern frontier, are submitted with the report
some of which we may hereafter notice more
AT length.

The Captive Daughter of Mrs. White

The St. Louis Republican publishes the
circular of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
addressed to ID. ID. MITCHELL, Superintendent
of Indian Affairs at ST. Louis, apprizng him
that reward Of one thousand dollars is offered
by the Indian Bureau for the recovery of The
daughter of the late j. M. WHITE.
The Commissioner states that Congress hav-
ing appropriated fifteen hundred dollars for the
redemption of this child, he is anxious that the
money shall be So expended as to give full effect
to the benevolent intention of that body.
''From the latest information received upon
the subject" he says, ''it is believed that she
yet remains in captivity among the Apaches
proper, or that mixed band termed ''Iacellares, ,
which, for years past, have infested the vicinity
Of San Fernandez de Taos, the country between
it and Bent's Fort, and the Santa Fc road, near
the settlement of New Mexico; yet it is posi-
BILE she may have been sold by her captors to
Indians of some other tribe. She is now about
three years of age"
1t is to be hoped that the benevolent design
of Congress may be accomplished by the dis
covery and ransom of this child at an early
day.
