The amount for the first year has not as yet been set apart, because although the balance on hand the 1st of October was nominally sufficient, it ceased to be so after satisfying the quarterly demands on that day. The treasury will be amply supplied with funds during the present and succeeding month, and it so happens that the five per cent. debt contracted for the Chesapeake and Ohio canal will be redeemable on the first of January 1850. As the debt referred to, however, is more than double the amount to be annually redeemed, it is suggested that authority be given to substitute a six per cent. stock, at the pleasure of the owners, for so much as cannot otherwise be extinguished.

Respectfully submitted.

To the General Assembly of Virginia.
