rhaps hired a substitute, who, for a pecuniary consideration, agreed to be shot at in his place. Such men are found everywhere throughout the Confederacy, and it is time something were done to put an end to their money making business. I have been investigating this subject in the hope that I would be able to make some practical recommendation that would check if it did not eradicate this evil. In the first volume of the Revised Code of 1819, page 551, I find an act which was passed in 1777, entitled "an act to prevent forestalling, regrafting, engrossing, and public vendues," which, with very slight amendments, would, if re-enacted, check in a great measure this growing evil. I invite your attention to it, and recommend that some similar act be passed at this session. The finances of the State are in a highly prosperous condition — much more prosperous indeed than could have been anticipated under the circumstances which surround us. The enormous demands made upon the tre

Governor's Message. Executive Department,Richmond, Va., Sept. 7, 1863. Gentlemen of the Senateand House of Delegates. In this crisis I have deemed it advisable to convene you in extraordinary session, in order that the freshly chosen representatives of the people may consult and devise such measures as will be calculated to meet the existing emergency in public affairs. The war has now been in progress for more than two years and a half, and has been presented against us with a ferocity unparallel in all past struggles between contending parties. It has been conducted upon the avowed principle of subjugating in either by force of arms or by visiting upon our people the horrors of famine, Hence it is that foiled and defeated again and again upon the field of battle, they have adopted the policy of desolating our farms, destroying our crops, burning our dwellings, stealing and carrying away our property, leaving our wives and children to perish by the slow torture of st

He was equal to every position to which he was called — as Delegate in the General Assembly, as Governor of this State, as Secretary of War under the old Government, as Brigadier General commanding the Confederate troops, or as Major. General commanding the State Line. When the news of his death reached this city I caused the State flag to be displayed at half must, and the offices to be closed for the day, in taken of respect for his memory. On the 29th day of August last a requisition was made upon me by the Secretary of War for 5,340 slaves, to work upon the fortifications around Richmond. Copies of the papers are herewith submitted to your consideration, and I particularly invite your attention to the draft made upon the several counties. The apportionment upon the counties seems to be entirely arbitrary, and bears very unequally. In some cases five per cent. of the slaves is called for, and in other cases less than one per cent.

retary of War for 5,340 slaves, to work upon the fortifications around Richmond. Copies of the papers are herewith submitted to your consideration, and I particularly invite your attention to the draft made upon the several counties. The apportionment upon the counties seems to be entirely arbitrary, and bears very unequally. In some cases five per cent. of the slaves is called for, and in other cases less than one per cent. Thus, Amelia, with upwards of 7,000 slaves assessed with taxes in 1862, is required to furnish 50, while Alleghany, with less than 700, is required to furnish 30. The county of Albemarle, with 12,681, is called upon for 200, while Brunswick, with 9,212, is called upon for 250. The county of Augusta, with 4,460 is called upon for 80, while the county of Rockingham, with 2,164 is called upon for 100. Hanover, with 8,621, is called upon for 80, while Prince Edward, with 6,998, is called upon for 150. These examples will suffice to show how unequally this burden

The report of the Adjutant General, accompanied by a bill, is herewith submitted, and to it your attention is respectfully invited. General Richardson's intelligence and experience in all military matters entitle his views to great respect, and I confidently commend them to your favorable consideration. The General Assembly, at its last session, prescribed that no Confederate issues of a date anterior to April 6th, 1863 should be received in payment of State taxes. I am unable to comprehend either the wisdom or policy of this legislation. It is calculated to impair confidence in the currency of the Confederate Government, and, indeed, in almost the only currency in circulation in the greater portion of the State. If these issues are not to be receivable in payment of State taxes it is inferable, at least by those who are not fully informed in regard to such questions, that it is because those issues
