virgin should ascend the capitolium.
OF the millions of treasure lavished
upon the capitol no trace remains; its

priests and virgins. with the
knowledge of The mysteries they
celebrated, have been bnried for more
than thousand years IN the darkest

imperishahle as the history OF the

AFFAIRS IN NEW ORLEANS.
Reuort Of the Committee 80 Investigate
the New orleans Riot.

New YORK, Sept. 6.-The Tribune
has the following from New Orleans:
The military commission organized
to investigate the circumstances con-
nected with the late massacre, having
completed their labors, handed their
report to Gen. Sheridan at noon to-day
The report covers over eleven hundred
pages of closely written manuscript, and
proves conelusively that the massacre
was pre-arranged by Mayor Monroe and
others.
The members of the fire department
aud the different sections of rebel mill
tary organizations which exist in this
city appearing on the ground at a given
signal, armed to the teeth, and assisted
the police In their hellish task of MUIR
dering unarmed and defenceless Union
men. Over $50 trustworthy witnesst 8
have been examined. and the evidence
corroborative of the above statement is
incontrovertable.
Evidence was also taken In reference
to the composition of the rebel grand
jury and the following facts related
That the jury box should be filled with
names from the registry of vOters-fTOm
those names 125 are drawn, from which
the sheriff and the clerk of the cIini-
nal court select Is under the direction
of the Judge, as grand jurors. On I'll
registry there are nearly as many
names of Union men as COnfederates;
but Notwithstanding, every one of I'll q
Jury selected were notorious rebels
with a rebel colonel as foreman. One
is a member of the Legislature, aud is
therefore exempt; two or three were
members of the last grand jury, there
fore their names cOuld not lawfully be
in the jury box at this time, while two
others were not registered voters, and
therefore legally incapacitated from
serving on a grand jury.
In the recognizing of the white
schools in this city, which has lately ia
ken place, many of the lady teachers
who are known as Unionists, were dis
charged, and good rebels appointed
in their place. Leading Union men of
New Orleans are dissatisfied because no
action has been taken on the complaint
sworn to by them on the 4th of August,
before the u. S. Commissioners, char
ging Lieut. Gov. VOORHEES, and the pO-
lice with murder, and asking for their
arrest under the Civil Rights Bill and
military orders. The complaint was
referred by the Governor, to Major
General Sheridan. They are preparing
similar document to be signed and
sworn to by large number, with the
purpose of presenting 1T to him by mile
itafY authority.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 1866.
The attention of Assistant Treasurers, des-
ignated depositaries, and officers of National
Banks designated as such, is hereby called to
that portion Of the CIRCULAR issued from this
office Nov. l9 1861 which enjOins that in the
cancellation Of coupons paid by them,scare be
taken not to punch from the same either the
number or dates. A disregard of this iDluuc
tion has, IN many instances, subjected this
and other offices of the department to great
Inconvenience, inasmuch coupons the dates
or numbers of which have been thus remOyeI
in the process of punching have delayed, If
not entirely prevented, the reimbursing OF the
Treasurer Tor his payment of the same
III eretofOre payment for the remittance has
been made by him without regard to the cou-
pOns so defaced; but, in view OF the fact that
such DETACHMENT Is needless, inasmuch as
there Is upon each coupon ample space for
cancellation without destroying any essential
part and as by such reckless cancellation the
evidence as to the maturity or evenlegitimacy
of coupon is destroyed it has been deter
mined that hereafter all coupons from which
either the date or the number has in any way
been removed, will be returned to the parties
remtting them. and payment thereon with
held until the dates or numbers shall be fully
established by affidavit or other satisfactory

"A letter from Helena CITY. Monta.

"A letter from Helena City, Monta-
ma, speaks of a large decline ia the
price of merchandise, and In regard to
mining, says: 1.-The scarcity of water
at this season is hindering the
mining operations, but the yield of the
territory will, I think, reach the esti-
mate of Sl2,000000. A single bar

to give o yield of 1900, 900, some

In all directions are TO be found gulches
by the score that are yielding their

This statement is exclusive of militia and
enistments for the United States navy.
! refer for more perfect details of all the
military operations of the State to the report
of the Adjutant General of the other military
departments of the State and to my previous
annual messages This brief military record
would be imperfect il | failed to commend
the fidelity, zeal and industry of the military
departments of the State, and to express my
personal obligations for the ready obedience
and constant support have uniformly re-
ceived from the Chiefs OF the Departments
and officers of my personal staff
An approximate judgment OF the amount
oflabor performed by these departments,
and the Office of the Secretary of the Com
monweaith, may be made, when 1t Is stated
that over forty three thousand (43, ,000l mill
tarv commissions were issued during the
war.
The first request for troops from this
State was dated at Washington, on the 18th
April 1861, and on the 10th the telegraph
announced to the War Department that over
4 900 men were at Harrisburg, awaiting
marching orders.
1t is our proud privilege to have it remem-
bered, that the first military aid from the
loyal States which reached Washington,
was the force of AGO Pennsylvania, who ar
rieved their on the Sth day of April, and
that, when the Capital of the Nation was,
the second time threatened, after the battle
of Bull Run, the re- Iments of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserve Corp were the first troops
sent forward.
From the beginning ofthe war to its close,
the State has never ALTERED in its support
of the Government.
Proceeding in the strictline ofduty, there
sources of Pennsylvania, whether in men or
money, have neither been withheld or
sauandered. The history of the conduct OF
our people in the field, is Illuminated with
incidents of heroisnl worthy of conspicuous
notice; but it woud be impossible to mention
them in the proper limits OF "a message, with
out doing injustice, or perhaps, making In
yidious distinctions. Arrangements are
in progress to have complete history O

and is provided for in an act Of Assembly
already passed; and on this subject | com

By the report of the State Treasurer, it
will be observed that the extraordinary ex-
penditures growing out of the war, not re-
funded by the General Government, have
been S4, ,02S, ,627 21. This includes the di-
rect tax paid to the United States by the
States, which is not re-imbursable. In the
balance is included the S67I, ,476 43 paid to
the militia, which, with good portion of
the remaining expenditure, is clearly due
the Stare from the General Government.
The necessity for the extraordinary ex-
penditures having ceased with the suppress
sion of the late rebellion, measures should
lie taken to examine our resources, and re-
lieve, as far as possible the heavy burdens
TO which our people are subjected.
1t has been the habit of late years, to ap-
propriate, freely, annual sums for the sup
port of local charities; and such approprla-
tions are almost every year increased IN
number and amount. House of Refuge,
Institutions for the Deaf and Dumb and for
the Blind, Lunatic Asylums-these appear
TO me to be proper objects of State bounty,
because a few OF them are sufficient for the
whole State and to leave them to be provl-
ded for by the local authorities would, IN
fact, be to deprive of protection, the uLfor-
tunate classes for whose benefit they are de-
signed. But mere local charities, however
meritorious and effective, should, l think,
be left to the support of the benevolent par
ties who established them.
1t is unjust that the people OF the Com
monwealth should be coerced to pay taxes
in order that part of the money so raised
may be given to the support OF local charl-
ties, conducted by private associations, es-
pecially when it is remembered that hitherto
but smal proportion of the private eharl-
ties in the State have asked for such appro
priation.
recommend therefore, that no appro-
priation be made for charities, beyond the
institutions which have above specified.
The taxes at present laid on corporations
are unequal, and to certain extent thereby
unjust. | recommend the subject to the at
tention of the Legislature, with a view Of q
revision of the system.
Within few years, acts have been re
peatedly passed directing the expenditure OF
as much money as may be necessary to effect
named purposes, sometimes without clearly
designating by whom tbs money Is to 90 ex'
pended. or how the accounts are TO be ex,
amined. This custom is very recent, ans
has already led to abuses.
recommend that the practice be correct
ed and that no appropriation be made with
out having the exact sum appropriated tnt
