We print below the report OF a Select
Committee of the Senate in relation to the
State Military Expenditures under Gov.
Holbrook's administration
SENATE CHAMBER, Nov. IL, 1863.
To the Honorable Senate, aop ia session:
The select Committee appointed by a
joint resolution, and to whom was referred
so much of Governor Holbrook's commu-
nication as relates to public expenditures,
and that they may be instructed to audit
the acccxnts and vouchers on which such
expenditures are based, and report thereon,
respectfully report that the examination
embraces expenditures made by the Gov
ernor for troops furnished to the United
States, such as equipments, recruiting,
medical attendance, subsistence, arrests of
deserters, pay of troops, incidental ex-
penses, &c. The Governors communica-
tlon also embraced the accounts of John
Howe, Esq, the agent appointed to dis
pense State aid to the families of soldiers.
The ledger kept by the Secretary of
Civil and Military Affairs, was before the
Committee, together with vouchers for
every charge for disbursements made, Ell
ther by the Governor, Adjutant and In
spector General, Quartermaster General,
and other agents of the State. The incl
dental expenses consist of express charges,
telegraph, postage, stationery, &c. The
vouchers were satisfactory, embracing
items such as travelling expenses, board,
time employed, and other particulars.
Sore of the vouchers, however, Of the
State Board Of Medical Examiners, were
a single charge, without specification.
The ledger further embraces list of all
orders drawn by the Governor on the
Treasurer Of the State amounting to
Sl35,33 At, agreeing (wlth small va
nation) with the amount charged. The
sum Of ST., ,984 40 drawn from the Treas
ury for State purposes was reimbursed,
leaving the actual amount of expenditures,
$122,353 OF. This sum does not embrace
$2l SIT 54 paid GU, by Mr.. Howe for
State aid. His accounts do not appear
upon the book kept by the Governor, and
no vouchers connected Herewith were ex-
hibited to the Committee. Mr.. Howe
drew orders direct upon the treasury.
Every voucher was examined, and
compared with the accounts kept, and
checked off from the ledger. Additions
and extensions of items were made SO far
as to test essccuracy of entries made.
The classification Of expenditures, and
the corresponding accounts, the number
ing and fling of vouchers, made by the
Secretary, were accurate and intelligent,
and afforded great assistance to the Com
mittee in their -labonous and complic lated
Your Committee further report, that in
their opinion the expenditures named we're
required for the public service, and made
ander the circumstances with due regard
10 economy and the best interests of the
State.
MERRITT CLARK, for the Committee,
on the part Of the Senate.

making a very mild speech to the Cham
Der OF Deputies at their recent opening -
he didn't threaten to recognize the South.

empire is beyond peradventure.

FlESDIsH OUrRAGE.--We have already recorded so
many instances OF Yankee cruelty and outrage, that
nothing is wanting to stamp the invaders with eler.
nal infamy but the following, from the Jackson Az.

aged gentleman residing Coiervle Shelby coun.

from appearances the dcienceless old man had money
they demanded it, accompanying the demand with
threats to the consequences should he refuse Una
bic to resist all he had handed over, but this not
satisfying the wrctches, Who affected to believe he had
concealed they reSored to torture to make him
discover it. Persstng in his statement which was true
that he had given up all he could command he was hung
on his own premises In few moments he was taken
down. and still assuring them that he was without
means no again hung up, when the scoundrols de-
parted leaving him to his fate As soon as it was safe
for them to do so, his negroes rushed in and cut him
down the second time When thus released, life was
