 With the exception of extra compensation al- lowed by the State. to her volunteers and their families, the account is intended to embrace all expenses incurred for arms, clothing, and all ap- pointments, together with the wages, paid from the time the troops entered the service of the State, to the time they were mustered into the service of the United States, and an advance of about two months pay to the Battalion of Cav airy.
 The property thus charged and not distributed is held as belonging to the Government of the United States, and subject to the order of the thousand one hundred and thrty-one rifles and muskets. as we'll as accoutrements in the hands of the Quarter Master General, which 1 trust may be retained for the use of the State Militia. by accounting for them in settling with the Gen eral Government.
 The Paynaster General visited number of Regiments while on the Potomac, and made the
 first and second payments due them from the State. The expenses necessary to meet these payments, the hazards incident to the transmits sion of funds, the difficulty of gaining access to Regiments, scattered in the Southern part of the country. together with the fact that the amount paid by the General Government would meet all ordinary necessities of the troops induced the Commander-in- Chief to order the Paymaster General to suspend his visits for the above named object and.to prescribe form of draft on that officer. by which the amount due the volunteer might without risk, be transmitted to his family, or to any person at his dicreton. IT, regularity and delay in forwarding the monthly Regimental returns to the Adjutant General which contain the evidence of service for which the soldier is entitled to pay, often postpones the payment of these orders, occasions disap p9intment to the holder, and increased labor to the Paymaster. --..- Elliot Beardsley, of Winsted. and Charles C. Johnson, of Norwich, having been appointed by the President, Allotment Commissioners of this State, have entered upon their unpaid labors and are rendering valuable aid to many families of volunteers by securing to them part of the pay due from the United States. :.
 The act to which have referred authorizes the Governor to organize and officer the volun- teers, in such manner as he shall direct. Under this provision, and with the conviction that an officer possessing proper qualifications, holding position above the Colonels of the sev- | eral Regiments, could render important service to the State, the rank of Brigadier General was offered to Daniel Tyler, of Norwich, gentleman i of large military requirements, and practically coversant with the details of army appointments. The office was declined except upon the condi. ton dictated by him, that any duties to which he might be assigned should be performed without remuneration for services rendered or expenses incurred. He was untiring in his devotion to the public interests, and rendered efficient and valu- able services in organizing and equipping the volunteers as well as in making up the accounts |of the State against the General Government from the 18th day of November until about the middle of March, when he was called by the Secretary of War to fill the more important DO sition of Brigadier General of Volunteers, ir
