The Northern Prison, located at Michigan City, is the Obe W.tb tfbich I have b»d moat to du. It Jan. 1 believe, been ws 1 aod *co oomically' to»oagod, for which much credit is due to Its Warden, Thomas Wood, JSsq., "and to it4 Board of Trustees. Ia tbi» aectiou beg leave to call the atteuticfa the Legislature to tbo remarks io my former message in reference to the construction ol that Prison, nod tbe debt contracted for the buildieg of shops in 1862. "At tbe r«gu «r »'e?.in of the Legislature in 1861, the snm of 10.000 dollars was ap propriated toe tbe purcba«e of materials and aonatructl of the Northern Prison, locited at M^ooigdu City, for tbe year 1861, and a lik Eum for tne year. A* the *xira soaalon in 1861, the sum of $30,000 wjR appropriated ior materials and construction of tbe

Northern Prtso), and for the support of convicts, and tbe ptymeot of the expenses incurred for tha numb of Jinuiry, 1861. "At the same seaslon a law was passed for tho transfer of two hundred convicts from tbe Southern Prison, st JefForsonvillo, to tbe Northern Prison, but no provision was msde 'for Cbfcir retura In esse tbeir labor should not be required. At the B.mi session an act was passed providing that all persons sent to the Penitentiaries irotu counties north of the National Road should be ooLfiafd in tbe Northern Prigoo. The work in tbe construction of the Prison was vigorcuOy presssd in the summer and fall of 1861, and it was found necessary, by the Baard of Directors, Id

order to keep tbo cj.ivict labor employee, to anticipate and draw upon the appropriation imd« for the obstruction of the isin io 1861: so tbat when the work for 1861 was -abseil up. there remained unexponded of the fund approrr'uted for tbe Construction of the Prison in Ib62, but abopt $3,000, It was apparent, then, thst the labor of the convicts dould notbs employed in tbe construction ot tbe Prison duiins tbe year 1862, for tbe want of meanB with which to purchase the ceo snry materials. Tbe labor of tbe convicts ocnld not be leased or hired out to contractora for the want of sbope in the Prison in which they could be employed. To woik tbe convicts out of ptisou and about the -town wou'd be so expensive, in the employmeat of guards, as to make their labor unprofitable, be.idcj there was no authority fox doine so. fS'rpt as connected with the cooa^ruei of the Pr 9-ir. •As tho matter stood it was incvitablo tbat tho convict lubor should bs aljost wholly unemployed throughout the ear 1862, and mu?t s"? continue until the ie prison shops wera constructed, w&eo tbe might be hired to contractors, as in her prisons. If the sbeps were ootiBtruct|o 1869 tbis labor could be made remuitive through the year 1863, but it not

Mi noted until 1863, this could not bap?oatit 1664. It was evident tbat tbs ite woutd sustain a great loss by tbe de« io the construction of the shops, and diogly the Board of Director* oonvei,ed his oity in F«biu*ry iast, sad myssif asr Stat* officers were invited to be presfor consultition acd after full consideon of ths sufcj'ct, it was believed by ail tfl1 clearly to tbe interest of the State irtia!) the work of oiEstruction vt the shops aid b& commenced at the earliest tnaat, provided ihe coutracv could be let at )rlee» and tbo constructor, being tally pd ot the ccaditiou ot atfiirs, should be to await tbe action ef tbe Legisiahi* pay. The Bo^rd ot Director* needed to advertise for work, and a ting was bad. I directed Mr John lb, ot this city, reputed to 5s so capable builder, to be present at g, and see tbat tbe contract wsa made, and in accordance with tbe 3 specifications beforo that time the State tor the construction of

Tbe contract, I h*v© every replete, was fairly made, upon terms, lormcd, fifteea per oent. below the latract tor tbe samo work, and at por ceut. below what the same

To what 1 have here said, I will only add that the shops, the. construction of which I authorized ia 1863, would now cost at least seventy-five per cent, more tban the price for which they wero cootractod, and tbat without them tbe convict labor of the prison could not have been available. Justice requires that an appropriation to pay for them should be made without delay,

XaiTAftY KXTBtroiTITUS.

Upon tbe adjournment of toe Legislature found mjftelf unprovided, with the excep tioa of a aoaill balance ot tbe military eontingent fund, with money or appropriations for military purpoeee, New regiiueuts could not be raised ui.der the requieitions of the Govcrmennt, ii?t recruiting carried forward, without tbe use of large suma.ot money.— The Legbn bad received tjo pay for dieir services 'com tbe begficQto^ bf tbe war, and the organization could not 1oe. successfully continued uuless payment was made, and tbe men reimbursed for their actual expenditures, for which the appropriation for which the Legion fund, made in 1861, was inade quate. Tbe Southern border was still disdisturbed by tbreatt and danger of invasion* and such sters were to be taken, if possible, ae would gaarantee peace and security to our people, in this dilemma, I determined to apply.to tbe President for an advance under jab Appropriation made by Ooagcees, on the 3l9tjf JulVj 1861, which act is, in these weras: r."Be it enac:ed by tbe tJana'e *ad House of Representative of tbe United States of America, in Congress assembled, That tbe sum of two millions of dollars be, and the. same is hereby appropriated, to be expended, tinder tbe direction of the President of the United States in supplying and defraying the expenses of transporting and delivering °uch arms and muni lions of war, as in bis judgment may be expedient acd proper, to piace in tbo bands of any of the loyal citi

After a full consideration of tbe condition of 8ffJrs in IocTaoa, the President advanced to me at a disbursing officer, out of said appropriitlon, the sum oi two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). It will be perceived ih^t this tuenev was not paid to me as a loan to the State, or an advance io tbe State upon debts due to her from the General Governmeot, and creates no debt against the State whatever, but that in the ory it is an expenditure made by tbe President through me as his disbursing agent. It has, however, been disbursed ssciualvclv ia the name aod for the benefit of the State, in the payment ot necessary military expenses, for whicb the 8tate should hav6 made ample impropriations. I have advanced to the Paymaster of the State forces, at different tiraos, the purn of $171,661 8b, of which the great portion, however, has beea reimbursed to me by the General Government, upon my filicg in the proper Department the receipted nav rolls of tbe Indiana Legion, for eerviccs

in the war. For a detailed ac«

courtt of tbe expenditures of the military fund, the Legislature is referred to tbe financial report o» Hon W. H. H. Terrell, Financial Secretary, which is herewith submitted, and to tbe vouchers on file iu this Depart^ moot. All of these expenditures were laid before the Auditing Committee, appointed by tbe late Legislature, for examination, and received their approval. As will be shown by the report, I had on hand od the 1st day of January 1865, of tha military fund, tbe sum of $115,4t7 28, and the question is now

presented as to tbe proper method of Bottlement for this fund. Oae of two ways may l»o adopted. Fint, by returaiag to the Government the balance of tbe fund unexpended, aod by settling with it for the amount expended, upon voucber9 0f expenditures, after the same shall have been approved, by tbe Le^ieloture, and tbis would be in accordance with the theory upon which tbe money was originally advanced by the President.— Second, by paying into tho State Treasury the unexpended part of the fund, and treating the whole as an advacce to the State, to be accounted for by her iu the general settlement with tbe Government for advances made. Tbis latter pian is, in my judgment, more eonsonant with justice and the honor of the State, tbe mooey*having been expend' ed for purposes for which the State was honorably and patriotically hound to make provision, riMANGIAL STATEMENT. Tbe total amount of cash received by me is ....$1,096,321 31

In conclusion on tbis subject, I respectful !y request tbat a Joint Committee of the two Houses be ppeedlly appointed to investigate tbe civil and military expenditures I have made since the adjournment of the last Leg Ulature, and to examine tbe vouchers for the *ame on file in mv Department, and that the Legieliture will make prompt provilion for toe re-payment of the money I have borrowed for public purposes. It was advan* ced from tbe patriotic motives, with a fall reliance upon tbe go.d faith of the State for its rc-imbursscsent, aod without it the max cbinery of the State Government could not have beea kept io motion.

I aDoointed the Hon. W. H. H. Terrell, as Financial Secretary, and pluoed under his care and management the examination and settlement of all Recounts. He deserves ^reat credit for the ability and success witb which be has conducted the business, and I desire in tbis public manner to express to bim my thanks for his services. His report is herewith submitted as an accompanying document. !2TXXET 0!» THE BTATC DK1T.

Shortly aiter tbe Legislature adjourned, the queation was sprung as to the existence of legal appropriations for the payment of the interest upon the public debt,'and the opinion of Mr. iiord, Attorney General, was published, deoyicg their exiotence and any power to withd.aw the money from tbe treasury to pay tbe iotere-t, wbioh opinion was endorsed and actcd upon by Mr. Ristine, Autor of State. Believing tbat tbe question had Its origin In pj Itic*I considerations, and tbat there was little room to doubt as to the legal right and duty of tne Treasurer to remit tbe money to Jtfew York f^ pay the :t terest, I at one? took iasua witb these gentlemen Tbs State had failed to pay the iutgrest upon ber bonds trom 1842 to 1846, du« ring whicb time she acquired a reputation for repudiation and bankruptcy, from wbicb she nly recovered after anoy ye*rs ot faithful «cbarge of ber obligations. Tbe dark cloud wbicb had thus been placed upon ber fiaancial character had seriously retarded ber growth in wealth and population, by deterriog emlgratiou from her borders. In 1846 she effected a compromise with meat of ber creditors by the transfer of the Wabash atid Erio Oaual for oae half of the debt, and tbe Issuing of new stocks for the other half, upon which ebo solemly pledged herself to pay the interest semi-annually. Tbis pledge, and the legislation had is pursuance of tbe ,'tnpromise, was treated by Governor Wrsit comb and the various officers of State, as a valid appropriation of the mooey necessary to pay the interest under tbe eld Oonstitut:oa wbicb, upon this subject, is like the present. Iu 18S0, tbe framere of the new Constitution by the 20th section of the 10th article, solemnly ratified this contract With the bondholder by appropriating all the revenue of the State, derived from taxation for

ud tbe contingency ol omission or prohibition ou the part Legislature Under the new Constitution further legislation to pay the interest was sot deemed necessary, and this construction was acted upon by all admiaistrations down to 1863 although, perhaps,

:n

one case, a for­

mal appropriation was made, without any definite purpose. An action for a mandamus against the Auditor was commenced by Mr. W. H_ Talbott, President of tbe Sinking Fund Board, for the avowad purpose of baring the queetion settled, which was carried through the Circuit and Supreme Courts, aod resulted iu a decision by the latter against the existence of an appropriation. Without intending any disrespect to tbe eminent tribunal by which this case w»s decided. I must be permitted to observe that the history of ite origin, progress and conclusion, was such as to deprive it of any moral influence, and that the principles upon whicb the decision was made have been since openly disregard* ed by tbe Auditor and Treasurer of State in the payment of large sums of mooey to the public printer.

1

But leaving out of view right or wrong upon t|te legal question, it was a'matter of the,first importance that the' obligations of the State should be promptly met, aod her credit rescued from tbe disaster ot a new dishonor. It bad received a shock in tbe shock'and disoovery and exposure of the Stover forgery of our State stockB, amounting to nearly three millions ol dollars, from the evil consequences of which it was relieved only by a determined effort on the part, of the State authorities to bring tbe criminals to juatice. No argument was required to prove that should it again become impaired by a serious failure upon the part of the State to meet ber engagements, it could not be restored during this generation and the progress of the State in wealth and

ipulatlon receive a serious check if possible, to avert the threatened calamity, I went to New York and laid the whole matter before the house of Uessrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co., with the request that they should advance the amount necessary to pay the Interest, until such time as the Treasury might bo unlocked, and the money obtained therefrom. My request was generously met, and after full consideration, acceded to, provided a correct list of the stock holders oould be obtained. It is proper to state that iu making this arrangement bo stipulation was asked for or given, in regard ro the compensation they should receive for the use of their money, and the risk and trouble tbey should Incur but the whole matter was referred to the future action and good faith of tbe State. Tbey at once not! fled John G. Walker, Agent of State,of their readiness to pay the interest, and asked bim to furnish from brs books a list of the stock* holders, for tbe making out of which they offered to pay. This he peremptorily refused, and denied access to hie books, from which they desired to copy the list. Tbey then proposed to him that he sbould nay the interest in tbe usual way, upon his own books, agreeing to honor his checks issued therefor, at the same time exonerating him from all personal liabilities for any monies so paid. This offer was likewise refused. Tbe correspondeaco between Winslow, Lanier ft Co., and Walker, upoo tbis subject, is herewith submitted for your consideration. As Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co., would not take tha responsibility of paying, ia the absence of a correct list, owing to the existence of a large amount of spurious stocks, which otherwise they had no means ot detecting, the interest, which fell due on the first d:iy of July, 1863, went unpaid.

Determined not to bo defeated, if possible in the effort to preaerve the credit of the State, 1 attempted to secure from other Bourees a correct list of the stockholders, and in this attempt succoeded in November. In the meantime tbe uecoealty for action had beeome vtore manifest and imperative than before. While the American stockholders had a cf rrect knowledge of tbe state affairs, and but few stocks were changing bands or being offered in tbe market, tbe case waB qtiite different with our stockholders in Bu rope. In Europe, American politics are al» ways badly understood, and the principal fact which tbey dearly comprehended wab, that they did not receive their interests Tbey associated tbis failure with that of 1841, and began to say tbat there was some strange fatality attending Indiana securities, and declared their Intention of sending them back to Amerloa and getting clear ot them at once and forever. Such a measure would have given the State a bad name abroad, seriously affecting emigration to her borders, and

would have been followed by great depreciaUi States

Having presented the Mat to Messrs. Winslow, Jianier & Co.. they promptly renewed their offer, and gave public notice tbat they would pay the back interest which Yell due in July, and afterward gave further notice thac tbey would pay the interest accrued on the 1st day of January, 1861, tha 1st [day of July, 1864, and the 1st day of January, 1865, and up to the 31st of November last/as I am advised had paid out $416,677 08. How much tbey have paid since tbe 1st of Janu ary, 1865,1 am not advised, but presume it will make tbe aggregate as much as $575, 000. Tbe noble and generous conduct of tbis bouse should and will be appreciated by tbe people of Indiana and Mr. Lanier in his clear comprehension and able management ot the affair, has displayed not only financial ability but abroad statesmanship not oiteu exhibited in financial affaire.

I trust that the generous confidence which he has reposed in the good faith ol tbe people of Indiana, wi!l not be disappointed, and tbat the Legislature will hasten to reimburse him for the money he bas expended, and indemnify him for tbe trouble he has incurred.

In conclusion upon this subject, I am glad to be able to say that tbe credit of the State has been fully preserved, and that her stocks now command a higher price relatively iq tb maiket, when compared with the stocks of other States beari&g like interest, thau at any former period in ber history.

John K' Gapin, Esq who was Clerk in the office of tbe State Agent, during tbo incumbency ef Col. R. N. Hudson, waa appointed by me to prepare tbe books aiid make the payment of the interest ou the State debt, at the banking bouse of Messrs. Wioslow, Lanier & Co and under their general direction and supervision. He hat* performed that duty with ability, and to tbu satisfaction of all parties, nod thus far without compensation. I recommend tbat provision be made to pay him Lba-ally for bis valuable services.

The force which I have employed ia sm-.U compared witb the amount of work which has be.n done. Much respenstbility hris been devolved upon theFioaacial and Military Secretaries, and tbeir labors have been most arduous. Col. Wm. H.

The members or this organisation were united united by solemn oaths, which, if observed, bound tbem to execute the orders of tbeir Grand Commanders without delay or question, however treasonable or criminal might be their character. I am glad to believe that the great majority of its members regarded it merely ns a political machine, and did net suspect tbe ulterior treasonable aotion contemplated by Its leaders and upon the discovery of its true character, and hastened to abjure all connection with it. Some of tbe chief conspirators have been arrested and tried by the Government, and others have 41 ed their schemes have been exposed and baffled, and weftnay reasonably hope tbat our State may not hereafter be endangered and dishonored by tbe removal of these insane and criminal designs.

THS WAB.

We are ia the midst of a bloody civil war, forced upon tho Government by the rebellious inhabitants of certain States.— The theory upon which this war was begun was the pretended right of a State to withdraw from the Union whenever its rights under the Constitution ofthe Unitea States were violated, of which violation it had the exclusive power to judge Geary, who, with, the balance of the and determine. This claim was founded' upon the dogma, that she Union was a compact of sovereign*and independent States, to which they were parties in their municipal character that the United States were not a nation, but an aggregation of nationalities united in a copartnership for certain purposes, and upon certain conditions, which were contained in tbo articles of oo-partnership known as the Federal Constitution. The exercise of the right of seeession, or withdrawal from the union, was justified by the alle- I have wished. cation that the people df the Northern

claration that there was good reason to believe that the Government of the United States under the administration of Mr. Lincoln, would perform acts of violence subversive of the prosperity and even the exisence of slavery. To have conoeded tho right c'aimed, and permitted any number of States peaceably to withdraw from the Union, would have involved not only tlie destruction of the Government but the absolute dissolution of the Nation,

breaking it into as many fragments as (jep0t8 jn perfect order to »«11 into our handi there are States, each claiming foreign-

ty and independence as When the war was begun, therefore, theTe was but one of two things for the Government to do, either to suppress tho rebellion and assert its Integrity as a Nation, or to abdicate its authority and confess itself without right to enforce] its decrees and perpetuate its existence, by conceding the want of national unity and the right of secession. It must be admitted that between these two there was no middle ground, and the Government was forced at once to a choice between national life and national death, the life only to be preferred by the total suppression of the rebellion that menaced it. Between these contending theories there could, ia the nature of the case, be no compromise, as they were utterly antagonistic and irreconcilable. The rebellion was begun upon an alleged right upon which it must stand or fall, and was resisted by the Government upon the ground that its owls life could not be preserved, if the existence of this right were in any manner or to any extent conceded.

It is hardly worth while to consider what would be our condition if this rebellion were successful. The most thoughtless or stupid mind cannot fail to perceive that tho several States, fragments of a once happy and powerful republic could not live together in prosperity and peace but that war following upon war, anarohy and the destruction of personal liberty, would, inevitably result, to be succeeded by the night of despotism, burving abutter darkness the fair hopes and beautiful prospects which once illuminated our national horizon. Whatever it may cost us to preserve the Union, we may be assured it will cost us everything to lose it. A refusal to prosecute the war because it is expensive, would not be unlike the case of a man who should resolve to die because tho employment of a physician would embarrass his financial affairs. Nor would it be less absurd to refuse to sustain the Uevernment and prosecute the war, upon the pretence that by so doing constitutional rights and personal liberty would be endangered, when we know perfectly well that if the rebellion succeeds, civil and religious liberty and constitutional rights, of whatever,, kind, will be overwhelmed in one common ruin.

Let us hope that human slavery, which has ever been the source of national digsentiona and heart burnings which from the beginning has arrayed our people into classes, and fretted them into mutual hatreds: and for the preservation and prosperitv of which it has been solemnly avowed tbat this mighty war and most bloody rebellion was begun and is prosecuted has received its mortal wound, and will soon be consigned to the grave of loathsome tyrannies, from which there is no resurrection. Should the Congress of the United States pass a joint resolu tion to prohibit slavery, or irvolvntary servitude throughout the .tad States. I do most earnestly hope that the people of the several States will hasten to give it their solemn sanction, so that it may pass into our fundamental law and go out to all the world, that our country is in fact, as /n name," the land of the free," as well aB 'the home of the brave.''

Tax Canadians!, who have bad no end of ill-natured remarks to make about drafts and reeistence thereto, are just now having a lively excitement over a draft riot of tbeir own. It appears, as we learn from The Ques bte Neut, that "the draft whicb was to have taken place yesterday throughout the Provinoe Was resisted in several counties of this

Savannah sent forth no refugees to follow the fortunes of the rebel army she had refugees from nearly every city we have captured, who had been driven from city to city, but they would go no farther, they had seen the Confederate babble burst, aod had proved Jeff, Davis A Co., a swindling concern which had defrauded them out of their homes and the lives of their dearest friends, and tbey with tbe residents of the city,oboose to remain and try their fortunes once more under tbe stars and stripes. Savannah therefore was full of people when we entered it on the morning of the twenty-first, and by sunrise tbe sidewalks of tbe principal streets were full of people gazing at the long columns of Yankees as they marched through tbe city. Hats aud handkerchiefs were waived and "we welcome you, we're glad yon bare come" were tbe almost universal greeting. the errr

Point correspondent of the 8th says, j|ajor General Butler has been retdoved by the President from the position of Commander of tbe Army of tbe James and tbe Department of Virginia and North Carolina and ordered to report at Lowell, Mass. Tbe official document in the case directed bim to tnrn over bis oommand to tbe person named by Lieut. Gen. Grant, aa bis temporary successor. General Ord, lately in charge of the oamps, has succeeded temporarily to the important position.

The Tribune says Mr. Blair, sr, is io Richmond and goes specially to see what can be done in the way of peace. Tbe Tribune don't think be will succeed, and urges the filling up of our army and making abort work of tbe rebellion. Blair is not clothed witb any power from our Government bnt we infer he is authorised to aacertain whether any treaty of peace is new attainable.

The Herald's Wincbeeter correspondent details a conversation witb a man recently from Riebmond who aaya the rebels are busy preparing for an evacuation. Much Government property and many officials are already sent off to the interior. Jeff, has become convinced be can*t hold tL» oitymuch ionget and it is being moved.
