matters which required the ablests efforts of
the ablest men. Washington soon found his
duties SO arduous that he was compelled to
solicit aid in conducting the administration,
and for this purpose divided the affairs OF
government into three departments, viz: a
State Department, War Department and
a Treasury Department. Thomas jefferson

of the first of these, under the title Of Secre-

at the head of the artillery during the war,

War Department, aud was known as Secre-
