the best means of meeting and diminishing the
debt Certainly it was his duty, as it was his right
to refer incidentally to the main cause to wit the
States large military establishment. He refers al
so to the expense which the State is mourning in
arresting deserters, and says this expense Should
be met by the Confederate authorities 1t seems
to US that these suggestions not only proper in
themselves, but that the views of the Treasurer OIL
! these subjects are sound and sensible There is
no just foundation for the nsinuaton made by the
Governor, that the Treasurer has travelled out Of
his sphere Nor is there, in his Report the least
color for the further insinuaton that the Treasur-
ers.plan would allow deserters to go at large and
maltreat and plumber the people. He has simply
suggested that the States military establishments: is
much larger and much more expensive than it
should be; and that if the State should continue,
by her troops to execute the law of Congress in
resting deserters, she ought to be promptly reim-
bursed her expenses for so doing by the Confeder.
ate government. But to read the Governors mes.
sage on these subjects and not read what the Treas
urer himself has said, one would think-if be did
not know Jonathan Worth-that he was opposed
to clothing and shooting our troops, opposed to ar
resting deserters, and in favor of plar in the
language of the message itself, by which we can
"carry on war and preserve interna, quiet with
out any expenditure of money at all"
But it is not our purpose to make a defence for
Mr. Worth or to assail the Governor. 1t is no, ne
cessary that we should DO either. The Governor
has not added to what little repua ton he had as
fnancier by his illusions to the Treasurer nor has
the Treasurer lost reputation by these illusions
The Treasury is not only in safe, but in provident
hands Instead Of being assaulted and mlsrepresent
ed because of his disposition to maintain the States
credit and lessen the burthens of the people he de-
serves to be comm ended. Economy in Public Treas
urer is to DO priced next to integrity. Without
economy, and that Of the most rigid kind, we may
expect bankruptcy; and bankruptcy with an i'm

STATE OF INDIANA,
ADJUFANT GENERALS OFFICE,
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Is, 1864.


1t is announced that the visit OF the
undersigned to Washington to ascertain
the quota to be raised in Indiana under
the Presidents recent order proved un-
successful, owing to the great press OF
business before the War Department
The States quota, therefore, can only be
approximated at present Sufficient
data is known, however, to warrent the
announcement that after creditipg oil
enlistments for new and old regiments,
and all re enlistments of veterans, q
number equal to one-half the quota OF
the several counties as announced last
October will be required to save draft
on the 10Th OF March. Unless the quo
tas of the several States are filed by
that date a draft will be made for all de-
linqueces without any postponement or
delay.
Commandments of districts and county
and township committees are particularly
enjoined to adopt vigorous measures i'm
mediately to raise the additional men
called for.
Officers recruiting for rev organizs-
tons must raise the number required to
complete them, or take the chances OF
consolidation.
All will remember that bounties ceases
on the lst of March, which gives very
few days more for recruiting.

TUNNELING AT CAMP Morton.
Thursday night last, says the Indianapo
lis Journal of yesterday, one of the
guard at Camp Morton discovered reb-
ell prisoner emerging from hole in the
ground outside of the enclosure, and,
quick as thought, popped him over. The
bullet took effect in his head, killing him
instantly. His name was James Barn
hart, of the ID Missouri Regiment An
examination of the grounds led to the
discovery OF two well constructed tun-
nels, one on the east and the other On
the north side of the camp, each near
twenty feet in length, and large enough
to allow the easy egress of man. The
barracks from which these tunnels led
were crowded with prisoners belonging
in other parts of the camp, who admit.
ted, when questioned next morning, thai
they had expected to escape through the
tunnels that night, Many of them had
supplied themselves with extra rations
and were bearers of letters from Other
prisoners to friends in Dixie Precau
tons have been taken to prevent further
tunneling by digging deep trench be
tween the barracks and the fence.
