It will be ohlerriernhat the fiscal year
ends on the 30th of November, and the
sinking fund year on the first Monday in
September, which accounts for the appar
ent deficiency in the amount of debt paid
as stated in the Treasurer's report,and by , the
GommissionerS of the Sinking Fund. The
State has on hand a surplus of uniforms
and equiptdeats which cost about $190,000,
which the United States have agreed to
take and pay for at cost. Arrangements
have been made with the General Govern
ment for the re.imbursement of, the mili
tary expenses of the State the 27th
of July last. The bills as INS are for
warded to Washington and' pietist,' repay
ments have already been made.
It will be observed that the receipts
from ordinary sources of revenue for the
year 1861, have decreased, butes payments
have been made on some of them since
the settlement at the end of the
fiscal year on the Ist of December, and
more may reasonably be expected in addi
tion to the payments to be made by the
National Government as hereinafter stated,
the balance available in the Treasury will
be largely increased.
It will also be observed that it has not
yet:been found necessary to call in all of
the loan effected under the act of the 15th
of May last.
In so me items the ordinary revenue of
1861 was in excess of that of 1860.
RAIICII A Limns
The loan authorized by the act of May
16,1861. was taken at par. This occur
rence, moot gratifying under all the then
existing circumstances of embarrassment,
affords triumphant evidence of the confi
dence of the people in the stability and in
tegrity of the Commonwealth, and of their
determination to support the Government.

I refer to the reports of the State Treas
urer and Auditor General, for the details
of the financial affairs of the Common
wealth. The reports of the Surveyor
General-and State librarian will exhibit
the state of the departments under their
care.
The Comissioners of the Sinking Fond
daring the last spring received from the
Philadelphia and Erie (late Sunbury and
Erie) railroad company; forty bonds of that
company for $lOO.OOO each; and it Mottage
to secure the same, executed in conformity
with the third section of March the 7th,
1861. That company has also deposited
in the State Treasury its beside to the
amount of $5,000,000 00, in accordance
with the sixth section of the same act. On
the 9th of May last I granted my warrant
authorizing the State treasurer to deliver
to the said company, one thou-
Send of said bonds, being to the amount of
$1,000,000 00. This warrant was issued
in conformity with the law, the five per
cent. bonds mentioned in the fifth section
of the act (except those belonging to the
State and now in the sinking fund) having
been prevfonely !surrendered and canceled,
and satisfaction entered on the- record
of the mortgage mentioned in said fifth
section. Having received notice from the
company that the' bonds so delivered to
the company or their 'proceeds had been
appropriated, in accordance with the pro
visions of the law, on the 21st of June last
I appointed John A. Wright as Commis
sioner to examine and to report tome whe
ther said bonds or their proceeds had been
appropriated to the purposes required by
the act. His report has not yet been re
ceived by me.

time. It is impossible to estimate too
highly the importance of this great work
to the Commonwealth, and especially to
Philadelphia and Erie and the hitherto
neglected counties near its route west of
the Susquehanna.
By the act of the 21st April, 1858, for
the sale of the State canals to the Sunbury
and Erie railroad company it Was provided
tjutt if that company , should sell said ca
nals for a greater sum in the aggregate
than three and a half millions of dollars,
seventy-five per centum of such excess
should be paid to the Commonwealth by a
transfer of so much of such howls and se
curities as said company should receive for
the same and payable in like manner.
The company sold the canals and report
ed the share of the profit on such sale
due to the Commonwealth was $281,-
250 of which $250 was paid in. cash
and for the remaining $281,000 the
Commonwealth received coupon bonds of
the Wyoming canal company to that
amount, being a portion of bowie for $900,-
000 issued by that cpmpany and secured
bit .i..mortgage. of •:.the Wyoming canal,
formerly called the Lower North branch
canal. These bonds bear an interest of
six per cent. per annum, payable semi-an
nualy on the 15th of January. and July,
and the interest was paid by the company
to January last inclusive. The interest
due in July last has not been paid. Judge
ments having been obtained againsts the
company on some of the coupons for the
unpaid July interest, a bill in equity was
filed in the Supreme Court by a bond and
stockholder in which such proceedings
were had that by a decree made on the 2d
September last the property and affairs of
the company were placed in the hands of
a receiver.
$,873,35: a 8
A plan has been suggested for the as
sent Q 1 the stock and bondholders which
contemplates a sale of the canal under
lawful process and a purchase of the same
for the purpose of forming a new company
of which the capital stock shall be one
million- of dollars, divided into twenty
thousand shares of fifty dollars each,• of
which each assenting holder of a mort
gage bond for one thousand dollars shall
be entitled to eighteen shares, and each
assenting holder of fifty shares of stock of
the Wyoming canal company shall be -en
titled to nine shares. Of course no officer
of .the Commonwealth had authority to tut
sent to the proposal or in any way to af
fect her position. It is believed also that
the plan to not ont that ought to be as
sented to by the Commonwealth, and that
under all the circumstances, if the conve
nience of icdividnal parties requires a
change such as proposed, the debt due
to the Commonwealth out to be first paid
or fully secured.
I suggest that the act passed Bth of
April, 1861, entitled "An act- concerning
the sale of railroads, canals," &c., should
be modified so that in all cases in
which a debt may be due to the Common
wealth by the company as whose property
a public work may be sold, the purchasers
thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits
and privileges conferred by the act unless
they shall have first paid the debt due'to the
State, or secured the same by their bonds
to the Commonwealth secured by a first
mortgage on the work itself.
I commend the subject. to the immediate
consideration of the Legislature, as an eft.
fort may be made at an early day to enforce
a-sale of the canal, and some provision
by law to protect the interests of the State
would in that case be necessary.
The wicked and monstrous rebellion
which broke out many months ago, has
not yet been quelled. Every sentiment of
loyalty and patriotism demands its effec
tual suppression.
In my messages of the 9th and 30th of
of April last, I set forth at length my
views of the character and .objects of the
contest which is still pending. Subsequent
reflection has confirmed me in the correct
ness of the opinions than expressed, and to
which 1 refer. In addition it ought to be
understood, that looking to the variety
and character of her products and indus
try,ber material interest alone would ren
der the preservation of the Union from
the present assault upon it, indispensable
to Pennsylvania. She cannot afford to
have a foreign power below or above or
bounding her on the Delaware, the Chesa
peake or the Mississippi, and she will never
acquiesce lu such a result, whatever may
be the cost in men and money of her re
sistance to it.
On the 9th of April last I directed the
attention of the Legislature to the neces
sity which existed for an improved military
organization, and on the 12th of the same
month the act, entitled "An Act for the
better organizatioun of the militia of this
Commonwealth," passed, appropriating the
sum of $500,000 for the purpose of organi
zing, equipping and arming the militia. On
the 15th of April the President, by procla
mation, called for a military force of sev
erity-five thonmand men, of which the,quota
steeped to Pennsylvania was at first six
teen (afterwards reduced to *fourteen) regi
ments to serve as infantry or riflemen for
the term of three months unless sooner dis
charged. This call was enthusiastically re
sponded to by the people of Pennsylvania.
The first. military aid from the loyal States,
which the Goverment received at Wash
ington, was a Pennsylvania corps which
arrived there prior to the 19th of April.--
On that day the passage of other corps
from this and other States through Balti
more was impeded by force, and during
nearly two weeks afterwards the communi
cation between Washington and the loyal
States was almost entirely cut or. On the
19th I received a request from the War
Department that the troops preparing in
this State should be clothed, armed,
equipped, subsisted and transported by the
State in consequence of the then inability
of the United States. This request was of
course complied with, and twenty-five reg
iments, (being eleven regiments beyond our
quota,) comprising twenty thousand one
hundred and seventy-five men from Penn
syl vania,served for the term of three months
under the President's proclamation above
referred to. As the furnishing those vol
unteers with supplies was necessarily under
the circumstances a hurried operation,and
as complaints were made in regard to them,
and frauds were alleged to have been per
petrated, I appointed a board of committ
stoners to investigate the whole subject. A
copy of their report with the evidence
taken by them has been already laid before
the public. It is the intention of the Audi
tor General to open the accounts of such
parties as appear by the testimony to have
been overpaid, and this course lute already
been taken in two of those cases.
On the expiration of the term of the
three months men in July last, some eight
or ten thousand discharged Pennsylvania
volunteers were thrown into Harrisburg
without notice and detained here, waiting
to be paid, for an average time of some ten
days, Their twits, camp equipage and
cooking *tensile had been taken irminr them
at Wiling:wort, Maryland, and, they ar

and by the act of the 15th of , May last,
such a Corps was ditetted to be flogied,and
a loan of $3,000,000 was authorlied to de
fray the4expenses of that and other milita
ry preparations. Men more than sufficient
in number in number to loft some ten re
giments of the Reserve Corps had,previous
to the 15th of. May, been accepted by me
in pursuance if a call on lie (afterwards
rescinded)-for, twenty-five regiments, and
Were then beady assembled and subject to
my control. . Meat Of these men volun
teered for the Reserve Corps-and were im
mediately organized. The remaining regi
ment& were rapidly recru4ed ;and the corps
was thus completed, and Geerge A. IlL'Call,
of Cheater empty, was ,commissioned as
Major General, and assigned -to the com
mand of all , the foites raised or to
be raised under the provisit us of the
last mentioned act. Tha regiments _cam
eo:4ldg the Reserve Corps were instructed
in four campein different `parts of the State,
-until they were taken into the service of
the United States. Two oftheseregiments,
under the commands of Colonels Charles
J. Biddle and Seneca G. Simmons, and two
companies of artillery under the command
of Col. Charles T. Campbell, at •the :pres
sing instance of the War Departmentwere,
sent, on the 22d of June last, to the relict
of Col. Wallace, at Cumberland, and re.
trained for about cis weeks there, and in
Western Virginia, engaged in active ope.
rations.
Towards the close of July the whole
corps was called for under reoluisition, and
taken into the service. of the United States.
Within four days after the disaster data'
Run, eleven regiments of tbis fine body of
men (armed, drilled, clothed, eqnipped;and
allin respects ready for active service,)
were in Washington. The regiments in
companies from Western Virginia, and the
remaining two regiments,making the whole
number of fifteen, soon joined them, there,
and they are all now in service under the
command of Gen. itt'Call, who has been
commissioned as a' BrigUdier General by
the United States. ,
These fifteen regiments contain fifteen
thousand eight hundred and gty-siie men,
and constitute's- divisioii ciiiiipristrir three
brigades, a regiment of artillery, and one
of cavalry. The whole expense of raising,
clothing, equipping, subsisting, and paying
the Reserve Corps, (including the expense
of establishing and fitting the camps of
instruction, of recruiting, and supplying
regimental flags, and the expenses of the
campaign of the two regiments and com
panies in Maryland and Weatern
which were all defrayed by the State,) has
amounted to $855.444 87. This does not
include the transportation on railroads, as
the separation of that account would have
been a work of great labor, nor does it in
clude the pay of the two" regiments during
the campaign, but it does include all the
expenses, which were heavy, of teams and
transportation, not on railroads, for the
two regiments on the campaign above men
tioned. Twelve regiments of the Reserve
Corps were paid, subsisted, &c., by the
State to the average date of 22d July.—
The two regiments in Western Virginia
were paid by the State to the date of their
departure from Harrisburg on that expedi
tion. The cavalry regiment - was not paid
by the State. It will be perceived that
the whole average expense per man was
$53 95.
Previous to the 31st of April last, a re
giment had been enlisted in the city of
Erie from Northwestern Pennsylvania.—
W hen the call was made on me on that
day, for twenty-five additional regiments,
the Erie regiment was ordered to march to
Harrisburg. The call was rescinded, how
ever, before the regiment reached Pitts
burg, and I ordered it to encamp at that
city, where it remained until the 30th of
June. The National Government declined
to muster the regiment into service, as all
existing requisitiona made on the State
were more than filled.
Much apprehension existedin the Western and
South Western borders of the State, and it was
deemed prudent to retain the -regiment at Pitts
burg to meet any emergency that might arise.—
After the passage of the act of 16th 'May, 1801,
it wee expeoted that this regiment would 'form
part of the Reserve Volunteer corps ; but as the
men had been a long time from home and re
mained inactive in camp, they deorined entering
the service, and were subsisted and paid up to
the 30th of June by the State. • Two` regiments
have.since been enlisted from the same .part of
Pennsylvania at the city of Erie, one of which
has been at Washington in service since Septa:xi •
her, and the other Is now ready fer marching or
dere—and it is due to the first Erie regiment. to
say that. most of the men are now in service.
Further requisitions for sixteen regimenti of
infantry and two regiments.of cavalry were short.
ly afterwards made by the War Department. Of
these, sixteen have already been raised and are
in the service of the United States, and the re
maining two In the course of organisation end
nearly ready to march.
In addition to the , requisitions on the State,
the War Department .had given eiriberitiee to
numerous individu elate raise rola:ries:Tin Penn
eyliania, but as that system wed found to create
much emberraerineet, a general order was limed
by the War Department on the 26th of S'eptem
ber last, placing all such organizations under the
control of the Governor, and iihottly afterwards
a requisition was made on the State to increase
her quota to reventy•five thousand men.. Those
independent organisations, is they were nailed,
thus beeame •Pennsylvania regiments• and as
completed and lent forward form part of 'the
quota of the State. ,•

all tha remainder of the volunteers are at or near

teers froMPettusylirania are now prisoners, but
as irrangententit have been made for the exchange
of prisoners it may bit expected that they will
soon be released.
In compliance with the joint resolutions of the
llish of May last, I htive procured regimental
Saga for the 'Pennsylvania volunteers, and have
presented them in person to moat of the regi
ment,. In other cases, the regimentS being on
or near the Potomac, I havorequested Mr. Cow
an, Senator, and Messrs: Grow and .Wright, nent , bore of she Rouse of Representatives, from Penn
sylvania, to present them in the name of the
Connowsitealth.
The General Gorarnment requested that the
States would abstain from purchasieg arms, as
their competition was found injurious in the mar
kit, and In view of the large expenditures of
money in arming and: equipping the volunteer
forms of thelltate, provided for , the defence of
the National Government, , I did not purchase any
as authorized by the twenty-eighth 'motion of the
sot of the 15th of May, 1861. The State has
now quite u many arms as are necessary to arm
all her volunteer organizations in existence; but,
influenced by the'threatening aspect of our rola
lions with foreign governments, I have directed
the Adjutant General to procure arum ae soon as
it can be done on reasonable terms without in
jurious competition with the National—Govern
ment. Alma have been distributed among the
border counties to all the organisations that have
been formed to receive them. One thousand nice
hundred and thirty arms have.been thus distrib.
sited. I have Liao addreseed a letter to the com
missioners of all the border counties, offering
arms to them as soon as military organisations
shall be formed to receive them. Besides thus
complying with the requirements of the twenty
meventh section. of the- act of 15th May last, I
have deemed it prudent to offer five thousand
arms to auoh military' organizations as may be
formed in Philadelphia on a plan to be approved
by me as •Commander-in-Chlef. Muskets and
rifles to a considerable extent have been furnished
to the Pennsylvania volunteers from the State
arsenal. Others have been sent by the United
State. authorities to arm thous before leaving the
State. In some came, regiments have gone with
out arms under assurances from the 'War Depart
ment that they would be armed at Washington
or other near designated points, and that their
immediate departure was required. It was
thought wise in these case. not to insist on the
arms being sent before the regiments marched,
ea this would have imposed on the government
an unnecessary expenee in 6eight, and would
have been productive of delays which might
have been seriously detrimental to the public
service. Forty-two pieces of artillery with lim
bers, caissons, forges, ammunition wagons, har
ness and all the necessary implements and equip
ments were furnished by the State to the artille
ry regiment of the Reserve Corps. Ten of these
were.purohased by the State '
and theircost has
been refunded by the United States. Diligence
bag been used in Collecting arms throughout the.
State and repairing and alfering them in the
most approved manner.
The State has now 62 pieces of artillery, of
which 17 need repairs. 26,763 muskets and ri
les, some of which are in the hands of meohan
los being repaired; 1,910 are in the hands of vol
unteer corps throughout the State; 1,930 in the
possession of county commissioners, and 1,000
with the reserve corps OrPhiladelphia.
In additfon to this the city of Philadelphia
has 9 pieces of rifled artillery, and 4,978 mns•
hots and rifles.
The State has also in the arsenal at Harris
burg 1,988 sabre. and swords, and 1957 : pistols,
and the city of Philadelphia has 440 sabres, and
326 pistols with the necessary accoutrements.
There is also in the arsenal at Harrisburg, a
large amount of accoutrements and ammunition
for artillery and small arms.
The Adjutant General ie successfully engaged
in collecting arms throughout the State, and ills
expected that the number above stated will be
largely Increaeed. Probably, at least, 5,000 mus
kets and rifles and Altera pieces of artillery
will still be collected.
The care which has been bestowed upon the
comfort of the volunteers, and the goodness and
sufficiency of their suppliem of all kinds, and the
excellent arrangements of the Medical Depart
ment under the control of Surgeon General Hen
ry IL Smith, are proved by the fact that more
than 60,900 men have been for various, generally
aboreperiods at Camp Cut-tin since the 9th of A
pril last, and that down to the Ist of January in
stant, there died but forty•nine men at that clamp,
viz : Forty-four from sickness, two (belonging
to regiments from other States,) who had been
injured on railroads, two accidentally killed is
Camp Curtin and one shot in Harrisburg.
To facilitate the making of allotments of their
pay by our volunteers in the field for the support
of their families at home, I appointed Hon. Ed
gar Cowan, Thomas B. Franklin and B. C.
Mimeo, Bags., commissioners to visit the camps
of our men on and South rf the Potomac, and al.
so James Perk and M. W. Beltzhciover, Bev.,
commissioners to visit those in Kentucky and
elsewhere in the western country, to call the at
tention of the troops to the system of allotmeet
and to encourage them in adopting a practical
plan for carrying it into effect.
The several reports of these commissioners are
highly satisfactory.
For details on the several subjects connected
with the military operations of this State, I refer
to the reports of the Adjutant General, Surgeon
General, Qoartermaater General, Commissary
General and Paymaster General which accompany
this message.
The duties imposed on me were so onerous
that I found it necessary to invite the tempora
ry assistance of gentlemen on my staff to aid me
to perform themt
In this. capacity, Colonels Thomas A. Scott,
Gideon J. Ball and John A. Wright contributed
their valuable services from the middle of April
until they were called away by other duties. Col.
Scott remaining until he became conneoted with
the War Department, Col. Ball until the lot of
Jane and Col. Wright until the 23d of July ; for
the time thus devoted to the service of the State
they have refused to receive any compensation.
Colonels Joseph D. Potts, A. L. Russell, J.
Brown Parker and Craig Biddle were in service
up to the 20th of Decembei. The Department of
Telegraph and Transportation was under the
ezaluslve control of Col. Potts. The system and
economy of Its management show how faithfully
and well he fulfilled hie office.
It is but just to all theta gentlemen that I
should bear testimony to the antirlng zeal and
fidelity with which their dales were performed.

expenses were incurred by the State for.rhe ben
efit of the General Govierninent;': and have.• been
productive of results most important to the wet
fare and even safety of the country, it would be
right that an act of Congress should be passed
providing expressly for their re payment. It
lies with the Legislature to adopt the proper
means for directing the attention of Congress to
this subject. = -
Assurances have been received from the Treas
ury "Department that the exernination of the mil
itaty accounts of the State will be proceeded in
without delay, so that the State may receive a
credit for the ballauce due, in time to apply the
same towards the payment of her quata of the
direct tax. Assuming the completion of this ar
rangenient, if the State shall assume the direct
tax for this year, a saving of fifteen per cent,
will accrue to her, and no present increase of her
taxation will be necessary.
Whether this credit be given or not, I recoona
mend that the payment of the direct tax be as
sumed by the State,
CIE
-- '33
EMU
In ease the State assumes the payment of this
tax there should be such revision of the tax laws
as will hereafter equitably apportion the burden
among the various interests now subject or- that
can properly be made subject to taxation. The
saving of fifteen per cent, to the people of the
State by the assumption is a matter worthy • of
thought, but a more important "consideration is
that it will enable you who represent all the
varied Interests of the Commonivealth, to appor
tion the tax in such manner as to bear equally
upon all. Our revenue laws bad imposed on re
al and personal property as its full proportion,
hot little more than one.third of the taxes needed
for the ordinary expenditures of the government.
By the act of the 15th May last, the tax on this
species of property has already been increased
one-sixth. Should the State refuse "to assume
the United States tax, the whole burden of it
will fall upon these interests, interests too, most
unfavorably affected by the war, whilst other
kinds of property and other sources of revenue,
judged by our laws able to pay nearly two-thirds
of the present revenues of the State, would not
be called on to contribute one dollar of addition
al tax.
The militia system of the Commonwealth
,is
very imperfect. I recommend the establishment
of a commission to frame and report a system
more adequate to the exigency of the times.
I earnestly recommened' to the Legislature
that provision be made for the military instruc
tion of youth, The appointment of a military
instructor in the Normal . selibols, would in a
short period give teachers to the common schools
who would be competentqo train the boys in at•
tendence on theoc. If would in my opinion be
wise elan- previdefiir the -purchase or leasing
by the Commonwealth of a building for a milita
ry school, and for employing competent instruc
tors, at the expense of the State, reqnring the pu
pils to defray the other expenses. No pupil
should be admitted to this school without having
passed a thorough examination on mathematics
and all ailing subjects of instruction except the
military art proper. I respectfully urge this sub
ject on your early consideration, as one of mate
rial perhaps vital importance.
I have taken measures to direct the efficient
attention of the General Government to the for
tification of the water approccobes on the sea
board and the lakes, and arrangements are in the
course of being effected which it is hoped will
be satisfadtory in their result.
I send with this message a copy of a communi
cation from General Totten, Chief of the Milita
ry Engineer Department at Washington, I have
also represented to the Secretary of the Navy
the necessity for floating defences on the Dela.
ware, and assurance that they shall be prepared
at the earliest moment.
I have had a correspondence with the authori
ties and some of the citizens of Erie on the sub
ject of the defenceless condition of that city, and
the part of the State bordering on the lake. On
examination it is found that there are no defen
ces on the lake, and that the ordinance at the city
of Erie was withdrawn by the National Govern
ment in the summer of 1861. The Secretary of
the Navy, on a request made, directed that the
crew of the United States steamer Michigan
should not be disbanded, as has been usual, and
that vessel will remain in the harbor of Erie du
ring the winter. Should the National Govern
ment unexpectedly fail in its duty of providing ad
equate defences at our assailable points, East and
West, I earnestly recommend that the Legisla.
tore take prompt means for that purpose. We
should be admonished, by the recent indications
from abroad, to be prerared for our own -defence,
as well as fur the suppression of domestic insur
rection.
In selecting a site for a National Armory, if
the public good be alone considered, Pennsylva
nia will be preferred, as she affords the combined
advantages of a central position, abundance of
material and chilled mechanics, and a people of
undoubted loyalty.
I commend to the attention of the Legislature
the report of the Superintendent of the Public
Schools, the flourishing state of which and the
rapid progress of education are subjects of just
congratulation,
The reports of the Lunatic Hospital at Har
risburg and of Western Pennsylvania, of the
House of Refuge at Philadelphia and Pittsburg,-
of the Institutions for the Deaf and Dumb and
for the Blind and the Northern Home for Friend
less Children at Philadelphia, and of the Penn.
sylvania Training. Schools for Idiotic and Fee
ble Minded Children at Media, show that these
meritorious charitks are well administered, and
I recommend that the countenance and aid of
the Commonwealth be continued to them.
Under the joint resolution of 16th May last,
commissioners have been appointed to revise the
revenue laws, whose names will be forthwith sub
mitted.for the advice and convent of the Senate.
It is hoped that the commissioners will be able
to report during the present session of the Legis
lature. Considering the great labor imposed on
them, and the vast 'importance; at the. present
time, of an able, and efficient performance of, the
duties of the commissioners, ',suggested that
the compensation provided T?r by the joint reso
lution should he inereased to an adequate =mint.
It was evident, long sincie, that it would be
impossible for the banks to continue to redeem
their obligations in coin, in the fuoe of the large
issues of paper, the neeeasity for which was im--
posed on them and the Government by the exi
gencies of the times. No surprise, therefore, was
felt at the suspension of specie payments by like
banks, which took place on Monday, the 3Gth et!
December last. Under the circumstances, I re- ,
commend that they be relieved from all ponaltiee'
for this breach of the law:
Pennsylvr n i a has made great efforts Jo support:

1812 WAR STORY:
,The following, we believe, has not,;
er seen 'print. Ogden Hoffman used
t,O tell the story. He was in tJ
great fight between the Constitution
and the Guerriere, and said that as
the British ship came sailing down on
them, as they heard the sharp or•
dors, when the guns were run. out and
the men could be seen ready with
their matchlocks, an officer came id
haste to Captain Isaac Hull, and ask
ed for orders to fire. "Not yet," was
the quiet response. As: they came
still nearer, and the British vessel
poured in her fire, the first lieutenant
of the Constitution came on the poop
and begged permission to return the
broadside, saying that the men could
not be restrained much longer. "Not
yet," was the indifferent reply. Still
nearer the British ship came and the
American prisoners, who were in
,the
cockpit of the Gurriero, afterw'ard
said that they began to believe that
their own countrymen iverenfraid
measure their strength with, that Of
the enemy, and this thought gave
more pain than the wounds which
some of them were stilt stiffering
