Mr. Kennar, of Louisiana, desired to cull at tention to uu oidiirauee pasted by the Convon tiun cl his State, which was very gratifying Iu tho delegates, and ought to be-gratifying to the members of Congress, ni tbo expression of tbo feelings of the people of Louisiana. This ordi nance transferred tho sum of sJßs,2fl7, now in the hands of tlie Adjutant General of tho Stute, ami known u.-> tho “bullion fund,” to the Confed erate .States, ami made said monies subject to the order us the Treasurer. Furthermore, there was the sum of sl47,.)|'J being tho hulune* re ceived by tho State depository from the customs, riuce tin Lt of January, which was also made subject to tho order of tbo Treasurer of the Confederate States.

When Louisiana became one of the Confederate Slates, nil this mi noy wad reserved fur the Government, and all suuis since received, h s Wen set us do and strictly kept for the use of this Confederacy. Mr. Kennar, (‘ailed atten tion to this fact, f< r hi* was tho only State that held the public money for tile benefit of the f\>n ledgrute State's.
