equipped with arms, ammunition and
clothing, and on the 5th of June left
for the seat of war. The state thus
raised for the government two regi-
ments twenty-five days in advance of
the time given by the war department
in which to raise one regiment.
During the time occupied in organ
izing these two regiments a sufficient
number of companies had been offered
and urgently pressed upon the state
authorities to fill up five additional reg
iments. and no doubt is entertained
that 10000 men could have been raised
for the war within the time given the
state to complete one regiment.
mo other state in the Union, in pro-
portion of its population. has given to
the defense of the nation against this
unjustfiable and pernicious rebellion a
more patriotic. intelligent, moral and
powerful body of men than compose
the Michigan regiments, not gathered
UP from the worthless and idle of large
cities, but mostly taken from the good
and industrious avocations of life,
thereby establishing in each company
and regiment a great morale very
necessary element TO secure SubOIulnd-
ton, discipline and military success.
-" = This much may be safely said,
that, in the opinion of all military men
and others capable of judging, no better
equipped regiments have gone from the
western. and but few from the eastern
states, and at less expense"
The report of the adjutant general for
1864 shows that, according TO the Off
cial records. the number of men fur
nished by Michigan from the beginning
Of the war to Nov. /, 1864, was 1855.

Washington. May THE testimony
of Secretary Gage as TO the condition OF
the treasury and its requirements in
order to meet the monetary demands Of
the war as made before the senate COM
mittee on finance was given 10 the pub
lie yesterday. The secretary stated the
available balance in the treasury on
April 80 at $119, ,472, but from this it
was, he said. necessary to deduct the
$50, ,000, 600 appropriated for the national
defense. He estimated that when the
deficiencies in the war and navy de-
partments were met there would be an
available balance of $9l, 900, OOO The
treasurer estimated that he must have
$50, 100000 for a working balance from
day TO day. This would leave now only
$29, ,000, 600 Of available net cash in the
treasury, but for the fact that there
were some liabilities that would not be
pressed. He thought that all told, the
treasury could count upon available
cash TO the extent Of $70,000000 above
the 500, 100000 gold reserve.
Volunteers Have To BE Considered.
Gage stated that at the time his tes-
timony was given none of the volunteer
forces had become a tax upon the gov
ernment; that the entire 125,000 men
would have to be taken care of within a
months time. The best estimates placed
the extraordinary expenses for the war
and navy departments at $4,000, 900 up
to the 1st Of July next, in addition to
the $50, 900 voted for national de-
fence. He thought that from $40 600. 900
to $50, 900 600 in addition TO the ordinary
revenues would have 10 be realized be-
tween now and July l to preserve the
gold reserve intact. Without this extra
fund he thought the reserve would be
reduced TO the extent OF $50 900 000 leav-
ing in the treasury only $4,000 900. all
told at the end OF the fiscal year.
Two Methods of Raising Money.
He said he knew Of no other method
for raising this extra money except by
taxation or the sac of bonds. Turpie
asked if he could think of no other
method Il cannot think of any other
to which ! think ii would be proper and
safe for the government TO resort, ex-
cept by the issuance Of treasury certi-
ficates. / think il is a legitimate opera

The promptness with which Michigan
placed her troops in the field in this
emergency is quite in keeping with the
enviable record made by the Wolver-
inc state when President Lincoln called
for men in 1861. In his report for that
year Adjutant General Robertson said:
