T reasurer' s Office, B oston, / January 14, 1863. \ To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives:— The undersigned, Treasurer and Receiver-General of the Commonwealth, begs leave to present his Annual Report of the business of the Department under his charge, for the year 1862, covering all receipts into the treasury, and all payments therefrom, during that year, to which 4ie adds, (as required by Section 19 “ of Chapter 15 ” of the General Statutes,) a specific statement of all warrants unpaid, and the names of the several parties in whose favor such warrants were drawn.

On the portion sold a premium of $5,500 was real­ ized. From the General Government, as was mentioned in my Report for 1861, the sum of $775,000 was received, in part reim­ bursement of moneys expended by Massachusetts in defence of the Union, and during the past year the portion of the tax of twenty millions of dollars, (levied on the States by Act of Con­ gress, approved August 5, 1861,) due from this State, amount­ ing to $824,581.33, was settled, by being carried to the debit of our claim on the General Government, the State being allowed fifteen per cent, for its implied collection. This allow­ ance amounted to $123,687.19, leaving a balance of $700,- 894.14, which, considered in the light of reimbursement on war advances, should be incorporated into the Union Loan Sinking Fund, under proper investment. * These shares are quoted in the stock market, at $1.50 per cent., hut are by­ law to he quoted at par. See Acts of 1858, chap. 158, sect. 9. 6 TREASURER’S REPORT. [ J an. soldiers’ allotments. In accordance with section 12 of the Act of Congress of July 22 , 1861, the several paymasters of the army were authorized to make separate rolls for their settlement with officers and men, the one to be a voucher for such money as should be paid to each on Ins personal account, and the other to be a voucher for such amount of money as might be intended for the benefit of their families at home, or any other party to*wliom it might be allotted. A copy of this allotment roll was then trans­ mitted to this office, (if the treasury should have been selected, as the means of reaching the intended recipient's,) and here it came under the operation of our own law of March 11, 1862, which requires the Treasurer to receive and distribute all moneys which shall be remitted to him by any of the Massachu­ setts Volunteers in the service of the United States. This he does, as the law further directs, through the' agency of the treasurers of the several Cities and Towns of the State, giving them notice by roll, of the names of the allotters, and the names and address of the persons to whom allotted. Upon the receipt of such information, the City or Town Treasurer draws upon the Treasurer-General for the requisite amount, gives notice in writing to the parties interested, and pays them the amount allotted, taking from them a receipt on the same sub­ roll, which, when signed, he returns to this office. If the money is not called for within thirty days after notice, it is returned here, and held till called for by the party entitled thereto, when it is paid over, with interest at the rate of five per cent, per annum. Allotments may also be made for the benefit of the allotter himself to the Treasurer of the State, who shall retain it, subject to call or order, and when called for it is to be repaid with similar interest of five per cent, per annum. The method is very simple and practical, entailing no expense upon either allotter or recipient, and attended with no risk whatever. The allotments of 9,263 men have been received, amounting to $205,296.60, embracing four several payments of the troops. Of the above sum there remain in the treasury, drawing interest, $21,983.82, to the credit of 457 allotters. The accrued interest is not included in this sum, it being computed and paid when the allotter calls for his money. A very large amount of money has been sent to their families and friends by the Volunteers of Massacliu- 1863.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT—No. 5. 7 setts, beside that which has passed through the treasury, an amount that can hardly be ascertained, so various were the media of transmission, and which must have proved of the greatest benefit, carrying comfort to households, the fathers and brothers of which are perilling their lives in defence of their country, and of the cause of liberty and human progress, against .rebellion so traitorous and wicked, that history can furnish no parallel thereto. By chapter 82 of the Acts of 1862, the interest and principal of all scrip or bonds of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts which have been or may hereafter be issued, shall, when due, be paid in gold or silver coin, and the Treasurer of the State was authorized to procure coin for the payment thereof, the expense of purchase to be paid out of any moneys then in the treasury. Under this authority, and for the purpose specified, gold coin was purchased, as needed from time to time, at rates following:— DATE. Amount. Per cent, advance.

[Jan. Of the whole sum purchased, $49,000, at a premium of $10,535, were used to pay in coin the interest accrued on bonds of the Commonwealth issued in aid of the Eastern and of the Norwich and Worcester Railroads, those corporations, when called upon to furnish specie for such payment, declining so to do, and presenting United States notes, which, as they were a legal tender, I was not at liberty to decline. In conformity with section 1 of chapter 15, Acts of 1862, providing for the more speedy filling up of the lands in the Back Bay, certificates of debt (State scrip) were issued, as therein provided, to the amount of $168,000, at the rate of five per cent, interest per annum, of which $38,000 were purchased for the Massachusetts School Fund, and the balance of $138,- 000, was passed over to the contractors, as provided by the above statute.

LOWELL, MASS: PRINTED BY STONE & HUSK. 1872. TS ya 7^ .C 7/I17 l?7l Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by ROBERT B. CAVERLY, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. OHOCOKUA IS SLAIN. And ever since, from then to this, Not a breath of hope, nor breeze of bliss, Hath moved the woods of Burton. XX. Dark shadows came to chase the sun, The Indian hunter’s day was done, And the wood-lands wild were sighing; ’Tvwis then a shaft his heart had broken, Vengeance! the eternal fates betoken; Chocorua is dying. XXI. On that dread night and hitherto, The heavens let fall malarious dew, Far down these murky mountains; Not a flower in all the waste is known, The maple leaf is dry, half-grown, And death is in the fountains. 15 THE BRIDE OF BURTON. XXII. The moping owl hath ceased to hoot, The scrub oak falters at the root, And the snail is lank and weary; The fated fawn hath found his bed, Huge hawks, high flying, drop down dead Above that apex dreary. XXIII. Faded, the vales no fruits adorn, The hills are pale with poisoned corn, The flocks are lean, repining; No growth the panting pastures yield, And the staggering cattle roam the field, Forlorn, in death declining. XXIV. ’Tis thus we’re made the slaves of earth, Mope in miasmas, deep in dearth, Sad, from some bad beginning; 16 THEY COME IN THE CLOUDS.

It was designed to give statements of fact to one who cares simply for such, as well as to lure the student who wants to learn something of Williamsburg's place in the world. Prac tically everything herein contained is based on ancient documents or official records. mI a very grateful to Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina, for his sympathetic patience with me while gathering material from his office and for much aid given me; and, likewise, to the authorities in the office of the Secretary of State and the Charleston Library. Miss Mabel L. Webber, Secretary of the South Carolina Historical Society, gave me many helpful suggestions. Judge of Probate W. E. Snowden and Clerk of the Court John D. Britton, of Williamsburg, Judge of Probate Frank M. Bryan, of Charleston, and Judge of Probate Thomas E. Richardson, of Sumter, were always very kind and helpful when I worked in their offices. .Mr. B E. Clarkson allowed me the use of the Confed erate War Diary of his late father, William J.

CONTEXT Creator: Essex Company (Lawrence, Mass.) Administrative History: The Essex Company was chartered in 1845 explicitly to build a dam and canals on the Merrimack River for the purpose of providing waterpower for textile mills. Implicitly, the directors planned create a city (Lawrence, Massachusetts) by selling land on either side of the river for mills, homes for workers and managers, stores, churches, schools and local government. It was also created to build mills and machinery on contract. As early as the mid 1830s, a small manufacturer turned land speculator, Daniel Saunders, began buying thin strips of land on either side of the Merrimack River between Lowell and Andover/Methuen in order to be able to control water power rights. He worked with his son, Daniel Saunders, JR., his uncle, J. Abbot Gardiner, and John Nesmith. They established the Merrimack Water Power Association and then approached Samuel Lawrence, brother of Amos and Abbott Lawrence, both major manufacturers and part of the later named Boston Associates.
