Before leaving Hampton Roads, and while waiting for the army to provide troops for the land part of this expedition, I sent the monitors Canonicus, Mahopac and Saugus up the James river to try what they could do with the rebel batteries at Howlett's and above that point.

The House, after debate, refused to receive the report of the committee. Mr. Brooke, from the Military Committee, to whom were referred so much of the Governor's message as refers to the re-organization of a public guard, made the following report: "Resolved, That Captain E. S. Gay, who has heretofore been commandant of the Public Guard, be, and he is hereby, authorized to employ, until otherwise provided by law, a police force, to consist of one lieutenant and thirty privates, whose duty it shall be to guard the penitentiary and other public buildings; and the said
