Presenting an Act of Congress approved February 16,1864 and requesting that the legislature determine the propriety of making provision for appointment of an officer for the objects contemplated by that act.

Make it obligatory upon sheriffs and all others having possession of a runaway slave to make known the fact to the owner or proper custodian of the slave by letter as early as possible, or by some other means not involving expense. [Tue Nov 8, 1864]
Issue Treasury Warrants to meet the appropriation for the support of the dependents of officers and soldiers due in September last. It would be a better policy to use the Confederate Notes of the new issue for this purpose than to issue State Treasury Warrants under any system that will not, from the date of its adoption, cause them to be valued in market in comparison with specie at fifty cents or more on the dollar.
