RE PORT,
That carly in the month of Febraary,
1836. Major General Sdott, of the Army of
the United States, who was clothed hy the
War Department, with extraordinary and
plenary power, to conduct the War against
the Seminole Indians in Florida, made his
requisition upon the Governor of this State
for a regiment of mounted infantry, to serve
for three months unless sooner discharged.
That the Governor in accordance with that
requisition ordered into service the regi
ment which was commanded by Col. R. H.
Goodwyn-That the citizens of the State
belonging to that regiment, were not only
required to give to the United States their
.personal service, but were also required to
carry a part of their property into that ser
vice--That there was at the time no law of
Congress which provided an indemnifica
tion for the losses which might accrue upon
the exposure of individual property thus
carried into the service of the U. States
that although there was no existing law
your committee are of the opinion, that the
obligation of the United States to indemni
fy cannot be questioned-the more especial.
ly as the officer making the requisition. waq
clothed by his department and by the chief
magistrate of the United State with the most
plenary powers-and as the property as
was as the individual owning the property
was received into the service, the authori
ty of the officers of the United States being
exercised as fully over the property as it
was over the owner. This regiment, with
the exception of Capt. Gibson's company,
was mustered into the service of the United
States, at the Sister's ferry on the Savan
n'ah. River, about the 18th of Fehnerv -

i,uvo of tue army of the United States,
under whose command this regiment was
- placed, gave it his verbal sanction.-From
this regiment has arisen a variety of claims
for &ndemnity for properity lostor injured
Congress has passed law intended to cover
some of those claims, but leaving out oth
ers manifestly too just to he in the opinion
of your committee, omitted. This law is al
iio acc ompanyed by so many vexatious reg
ulations from the Department c harged with
its execution, as to render it, if aot htugato
ry, the cause of much trouble and expense
and delay to the claimants. The State
stands between the claimants and the U.
States, in a relation, that in the opinion of
the committee, renders it not only expedi
ent and propper, but the duty of the State,
to see that they shall not in 'er loss, either
by a denialof their jus~t claims, or the delay
of~ the Federal Government to admit them.
The state having in ftulflment of her own
engagements with the Federal Government
ordered these claimants, being her own
citizens, into the service of the United
States, is, in the opinion of the committee.
hound to see them indemnified for the loss
es consequent upon that service. Your
committee therefore, reccommend that
the State shall assume the payment of all
losses of property on the part of that regi
ment, for which the claimnants are jastly
entitled to indemnityv. In pursuance of
this recommendation. the Committee
present. the 'ollowing classification of
.of the claims for the sanction of the Leg
islature, to be settled in the manner here
after provided for, upon being submitted
in proper form, and being satisfactorily
vouched.
1st. Horses killed in battle, or being
wounded, were killed by order.
2nd. Horses which died in the service.
. 3rdl. Horses which were lost in the service.
4th. Horses which died after the discharge
of the regiment and on the way home
6th. Horses which died after they retu--ned
home, from fatigue or of disease contracted
in the service.
6th. Horses which failed in the service or
otn the return home and were abandoned,
sold, or traded off in consequence of such
failure.
yth. Horses which returned bomne, but in
consequence of permanent injury received
i n the service wvere rendered valueless.
8th. Equipage, which was lost with the
horses.
9th. When the soldier was separated by,
the order of an officer from his horse or
equipage, and his horse or equipage was lost
or not returned.
In addition, there are some claims which
can be brought under neither of the above
heads, which.*your committee secommiend
shall be settled.
1st. -The claim of Capt. Pickens's comn
pany from Col. Norris's regiment in Ander
son district.
This company was drafted, and many of
the men not owning horses,..horses were
preesed by order of the Colonel to mount the
company. Thlese horses were a ppraised,

to havo them mounted at- the expense of
the Gederal Government, but (ailed. An
effort-was then made to have them dis
charged, which was refused. Under these
circumstances, Captain Whitmore~and his
officers purchased horses at their~own ex
pense. These hones were sold at the close
of the campaign and the difference of the
purchase and sale, two or three hundred
dollars. is siubmitted by Capt. Whitmore as
a claim on the part of himself and officers.
3rd. Capt. Gibson's claim fot subsistence
between Savannah and St. Augustine.
Capt. Gibson's company could not reach the
Sister's ferry with the other companies and
marched alone to St. Augustine. It was
mustered into service at Savannah. The
claim of Capt. Gibson amounts to two or
three hundred dollars for subsistence fur
nished by him for his command on the march
from Savannah to St. Augustine, the proper
department of the at my having neglected
to furnish it *
4th. Claim of J. A. Colcough for horses
furnished Captain Dubose's company from
Sumter district.
Many of these men were drafted, and as in
the case of C apt. Pickens's company, owned
no horses ; fifteen head of horses were fur
nished by this patriotic citizen, but few of
which were returned.
5th. The claim ofJ. NW. Desaussure, for
money furnished Capt. Dubose's company
for subsistence. -
This is a claim for 6300. Mr. Desaussuro
was Brigade Major to Brig. Gen. Cantey,
and was despatched by him to organize the
company in Sumter. The company was
without the means of subsistence and could
not march-under these circumstances Maj.
Desaussure advanced 8500. 6200 of which
was returned by the Captain.
To carry into effect this report, and to
adjust and settle all the claims contained in
it, your committee recommend the adoption
of the following rciolutions:
Resolved, That one or more persons be
appointed by the Governor, to be paid out
of the coaingent fund, whose duty it shall
be to collect all*the claims which are em
braced in this report and the testimony on
which they are supported.
Resolved, That his excellency P.M. Butler,
Gen. James Jones, and Col. R. H. Good
wyn are hereby appointed commissioners
to pass upon the aforesaid claims; and that
the Treasurer of the Upper Division is here
by required to pay any claim passed by said
commissioners.
Provided that no claim or claims be al
lowed as sufficiently establiihed, unless sup
ported by the same testimony and docu
ments as are required;by the act of Congress,
passed at its last regular session, for the es
tablishment and payment of such claims
in case such testimony and documents can
be procured.
