OF the loan OF 81 900, 900 authorized by the
resolve OF April IS, 1861, but 500, 900 has
been called for. The amount received into the

follows: Ss03, 0s7 80, being the aggregate ne,
ceiyed for State bonds. including premium AMI
500 900 refunded by the United States, ma
King 81 ,003, Os7 so In all. Against this SUN
warrants have been drawn for S999,sT 30. IL
Is proper, however, TO add that the treasurer

OF 81 ,Oo6 ,625 Is, and that from the books OF

Treasurer, making the whole amount OF war
rants 81 ,OO7, SIS 81; but ON these warrants the
sum of SS,0ll OIL was drawn from funds which
had been returned to the treasury by paymas-
tiers Of regiments who had received that sum in
excess Of what turned out 10 be necessary for
their several payments to troops. The money,
not having been used was returned to the
treasury, and afterwards redrawn, 80 that the
entire sum drawn from the treasury by war
rants on account Of the appropriation OF April
~, 1861, is the sum before stated OF S9y9,oU-
so.

ing against the State, on account OF war ex-
penditures ESTIMATED in partl, claims amount,
ing to S73 ,60l %, for the payment OF which an
appropriation will be necessary.
