+ prepared TO meet that reuustion. II, AS
! it seems to me. we must and should re-
ccive for revenue the l'nitod States Treas
ury notes not redremnbie in specie, can
not see the wisdom or justice of refusing
to receive the notes q! our own Banks that
are 50 rcdecmab.e, especially when by 80
doing, we make the payment Of taxes
more easy to our people and more e. r'ain
to the State, and at the same time A,d to
some extent in keeping in circulation
among us currency which has, and IN
my Judgment, deserves the confidence Of
the people.
MILITARY AFFAIRS
The report Of the Aijutant General,
herewith submitted, shows the number
and description Of troops raised in this
State for United States svrvic, to be six
teen regiments of Infantry, 1 Of cavalry,
three batteries Of Artillery. and one iude-
| pendent company Q; Cavalry for frontier
service. OF these, the fifteenth and six
trcnth regiments Of Infantry are not fully
organized. In addition Col Koch and COL
Rankin are engaged in raising regiments
of Infantry. which. If completed, will
make the seventeenth and eighteenth
regiments Of that arm Of the service.
1t is a mat'er Of much qualification tc
me that eur State has thus promptly re-
eponded to the demands made upon it by
the United States for aid in this pcrlous
crisis Of our country's history, and it is
also matter Of great pride to me that the
troops of our State whether tried in the
cxhausting service of the camp, the
marct, or in thc'fery ordeal Of the battle
field, have rcvcr been found wanting.
but have by their cheerful endurance Of
unarcustomcd hardship and their indom-
liable va!or, won fer themselves and our
State name which may we'll cause us to
feel a honest pride in claiming in any
pHrt Of our broad land that our homes AKA
in Iowa.
\: the Extra Session Of 1861, what
was supposed ample provision was made
to furnish the necessary funds for raising,
clothing and cqnippin- the volunteers
th;t might be required from this State,
by authorizing the issue and sale of our
State Bonds. immediately after the
close Of that session the necessary steps
were taken to put our bonds in market,
but before they could be offered in New
York the faith and credit of our State
were most wanton'y and unjustly attack
ed by certain papers in that city, so that
when under the law, the bonds were Of
fered for sale. it was found entirely i'm
possible to effect sales at the prices fixed
By the Board Of Commissioners appoint
ed for that purpose, or which would not
have been ruinous to the State. No sales
were, therefore, made in New York, and
an appeal WIS made to our own people
to take the bonds and furnisl. the means
ncct ssary to meet the large expenses con
seuueDt upon raising the troops cnlled for
from this State. The report Of the Loan
Agents herewith submitted will show
you the amount of bonds sold by them in
| this State, and the amount Of money re-
ceivcd therefor. 1t will be seen that
much the larger portion of the bonds was
taken by persons to whom the State was
indebted, and that bat small share was
sold fer cash. The result was that the
officers charged with the duty Of raising
| troops, as required by the General Gov
cnment, were much cn.harrassj i for want
of means being compelled to operate Who'll
ly upon credit, consequently, to great
Disadvantage. Whatever could be fur
nished by our people was furnished on
the credit Of the State, but without means
it was impossible to procure arms, Goth
inc, and such other articles as our people
did not produce After providing cloth.
