So prompt- j ly did we legislate oa the subject, that the 2lst, an act appropriating five millions 85X hundred *ud seventeen thousand doll art. for the pajy ol’tbe arniiy and militia lid pass ed both houses, and was approved by the president. The duly of congress was there fore perform*!, nod the application of the money to the objects for win ill it was ap propriated belonged t 6 another department <oJf the government. The unfortunate delay which has eecftrred is explained in the sor respoadiQce between the paymaster of the myself, the tuhstanee of whi’ h I ‘will’ briefly state. Having understood f’o~e my departure from Washington, that tfeu. rbiiitifk of ‘Georgia were ibeo ttop i l, f wrote a note to the paymaster, inquiring osh.y it was so. In reply 1 was informed that * i some dif&i’.uity. and delay had bfted pro i!uced in the payment of the m:ti?ia of that state, ih ebnscqlene'a of their having bean discharged without being duly t mustered hut thatinstructions h id been given to i%m - tdy that detect, which wouid.be executed as speedily as practicable. It was also remarked that there h and barn extreme diffi culty in obtaining funds in sufficient amount ih answer the payments of thfe .regular troops and militia of Bouth Carolina and Georgia ; tke g owrnvherit not lining them in father of those sf.ai.es,. 1 was further in fo mad, that towards paying them, one Jbuudred and fifty eight thousand, three hun dred dollars hadbeeu Already furnished.—*■ Cm receiving the answer of the paymaster 2 on the seefetary of the treasury H i expressed the very great regret which I ain persuaded he sineerely felt for the de- Jay in discharging the claims of our militia; ttud detailed the cause of the diflieuity which 2iad occurred in his department. While in Borne states the treasury could command funds beyond il calls for expenditure, in others they were insufficient to meet the de tsiands against the government; and ijwicg ■ko the deplorable state of the currency of the country* the funds iu those States ivbere they were not wanting could hot be ttyns fgred to the south, and paid to the public fdaimauU without subjecting them to loss— I state 1 my conviction that the bills ofNorth- Cariiima won hi be cheerfully received, and inquired whether they could He furnished, lie replied* tSaat ha would immediately es earfcain ; and if it could be dorie it should be done. I afterwards received the following Bote : M Robert Brent* paymaster of the array, has the honour of presenting his re- Bpoc's to Mr. Bib, and Instate to Him that tea hft:i by mail ofto-d;ty (30'h April) remit ted oue hundred and twenty thousand dol lar#’to Georgia, to be applied to the pay ment of the miHtia of that state.
