Tlx- )s-tii>rmamv of tlus duty has hern attended with great difficulty, ciulwmssiuent and expense. I nuxlc early exami nation into the practiothility of employing thns- tvtnvirta ■st'. ly and advantageously on the Weetern and Atlantic lCa.il rotwl, ami Iss-aiue thoroughlv satisfied, that, although such lalsir might be very profitably used in constructing a railnsul when- there wore cits vats me and embankments to Is- math-, it was entirely unaiUpted to anv work to Is- done on a railroad fine-bed ami in operation, in ordinary employment, as dcjsit nr tram liaml-, or track-men, or in any other work of which they an iafiatilc, they require more frvwlom of actum and more dLs|x-mion tlian wouhl be isimpatible with secure <oit finctaeat, without employing alrmet as many guard- as laborer*. That, therclure, was not available. There an- no istahledied (Kililic works, except within the walls of the Penib-ntiary, wliere mechanical arts arc chiefly pruneeuted.

The expense of transpirting them to the seat of government is very heavy. It sotm tiiuix hapjiras, aixl tuay often occur, that • guard is sent from the .-eat us government to a county most -remote from if, lor * single chain gang convict, and within a month has to tie sent to the same or an adjoining county for another, aud, |s rliap-. neither may have Ura acutr»xs-d for nxire tlum sixtv duv». Wh-ui hmught here, then- are no [»re-amingid iactlities for deploring, kosping nr guarding tlicm. To overcome tlxee -lithculti-x, I have uonneeted this branch tis the public service nxire or less elwly with the^-operations of the Penitentiary-, live* made the transportation ctxapsT, tsswuse often the same . guard w.iuld bring convictaof h-lonxe and oattvirtsof tni.-flr mmnnrs—Within Uie waits of the Penitentiary, 1 have also farad it draper apd safer to confine them lit night; and whenever their labor coulil la- emphiyol protitahlv to the Penitentiary, 1 have caused it O to be so u.-«l, and have charged t lust institution w ith it.
