The Legislature also passed an act assuming a loan made by the Governor, Auditor, Treasurer, and Secretary of State of twenty-five thousand dollars, borrowed from the Indian- apolis Branch of the State Bank of Indiana, upon the private credit of the said officers of State for the use of the State, to enable the Governor to comply with the requisition for troops made by the President of the United States, as before stated.
Another act was passed authorizing a loan of two millions of dollars, and the issuing of bonds therefor, to furnish the means for repelling invasion, and providing for the public defence.
It was also provided by an act of the Legislature, approved May 11th, 1861, that the Boards of Commissioners of the several counties of the State, and the incorporated cities and towns of the State, should be authorized to appropriate out of their respective county, city or town treasuries such sums of money as they may deem proper for the protection and maintenance of the families of volunteers in the army of the United States and of the State of Indiana during the con- tinuance of such armies, and to make such appropriations for the purchase of arms and equipments, for the raising and maintaining of military companies within their respective jurisdictions, either for home defence or for the service of this State or the United States, and such other necessary expen- ditures for the defence of their respective counties, cities and towns as the exigencies of the times may in their judgment demand, and authorizing the municipal authorities of said counties, cities and towns to make such regulations as they might think right and proper in the disbursement of said

appropriations. The same act also legalized all appropria- tions heretofore made by counties, cities and towns for the same purpose, and authorized the county, town and city authorities to levy a special tax each year upon all taxable property within their respective jurisdictions for the purpose of paying appropriations made or to be made in pursuance of the act.
Acts were also passed to render efficient the Quartermas- ters' and Commissary departments of the State, to define the crime of treason, and the crime of concealment of treason, and the punishment therefor, and to provide for the employ- ment of six regiments of volunteers for the protection of the property and citizens of the State, and also to provide for the appointment of a Paymaster, defining his duties and fixing his compensation.
A joint resolution was also passed requesting the Governor to send five thousand stand of arms, temporarily, to the sev- eral counties bordering on the Ohio river, to be distributed in the manner therein designated.
The General Assembly, after a harmonious session of forty days, during which all the measures supposed to be demanded by the exigencies of the times were passed, adjourned sine die on the 2d day of June, 1861.
