QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL'S REPORT.

General Headquarters, State of New-Hampshire,"
Quartermaster-General's Office,
Concord, June 1, 1866.
To His Excellency, FREDERICK SMYTH,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief :
Governor: I am glad to state that the condition
of the Quartermaster-General's Department has man
ifestly improved since my last Report. The stereo
typed account of property belonging to the State,
scattered about in various places and comprising a
quantity of antiquated stores of no value to any
body, which has formed the chief burden of reports
from this office in years past, has given place to a
fuller statement of more modern and serviceable
articles. All the property I could discover in any
place, belonging to the State, has been collected
together, and such as was unserviceable has been
turned over to the United States Government. The
accounts of the office have been put in as good con
dition as circumstances would allow. Proper vouch
ers have been taken and given for all stores received
and issued, and a clear account commenced of all the
transactions of the Department, with proper blanks
and papers, of which there were none in existence
till after I assumed the duties of the office.
So far as the resources afforded me would admit, I

have endeavored to put the department in good run
ning ordelr. There remain, however, many things
to be done and many wants to be supplied. The
State has a large amount of property -and no
suitable place in which to store it ; a large amount
of work to be done, and insufficient help to do it ;
a large number of things to buy and almost noth
ing to purchase with ; numerous incidental expenses
to. be incurred, and nothing with which to meet the
payment of them.
The whole appropriation for the expenses of this
Department last year, was $2,000. Perhaps the inad
equacy of this can be shown in no better way than
by a comparison with the amount expended by other
States for the same purposes, premising, however,
that I know of no other . State, with the exception
of Iowa, where there are not separate officers for the
Adjutant and Quartermaster-General's Departments.
The little State of Rhode-Island, as may be seen
from the Report of her Quartermaster-General, ex
pended last year, for the same items for which the
$2,000 was appropriated by this State, $7,918.37,
beside paying for a large amount of similar items,
under the head of " Miscellaneous Expenses." She
pays her Quartermaster-General, in addition, a sal
ary of $1,200.
Vermont, which comes nearest New-Hampshire in
population, wealth, and the forces raised for the war,
pays her Quartermaster-General a salary of $2,000.
She paid out, beside, for current expenses of the de
partment, $10,381.62 ; and, in addition to this, the
sum of over $180,000 for equipping her militia.

In Massachusetts, the Quartermaster-General has
nothing to do with the ordnance, yet the expense of
running the office the past year was $4,584.03 ; add
the expense of the Ordnance Department — which
should be done in comparing it with our own State, —
and it cost over $100,000 for the same class of ex
penses for which New-Hampshire appropriated $2,000.
Connecticut expended for similar purposes, $18,580.02.
This comparison might be extended to every State
in the Union, with similar results ; but enough has
been given to illustrate the very small expenditure
of New-Hampshire compared with other States, and
may furnish matter for reflection for any who think
that the expenses of this office have been extrava
gant. In contrast with the instances cited, the Adju-
tantrGeneral's and Quartermaster-General's Depart
ments of this State are united under one officer, on a
salary of $1,000, — one fourth of the sum the admin
istration of these two offices costs in other States.
The work of both departments is carried on with one
set of clerks, and one messenger, at an aggregate
expense, during the past yean> of $8,026.14, of which
about $2,000 has been repaid to the State by the
General Government. Of this $6,026.14, the real ex
pense of both departments, the Quartermaster-Gen
eral's Department, which we are comparing with
other States, has cost New-Hampshire $2,120.26.
That this is so small in the comparison, may, per
haps, be partly accounted for by the fact that, while
other officers have charged liberally for hotel expen
ses, railroad fare, and horse hire, whenever they have

made journeys on business connected with their de
partments, I have made hundreds of such trips and
paid my own expenses, and never charged for one,
with the single exception of a visit to our troops in
the field, made by order of the Governor.
I would not speak of these things but for the fact
that certain classes have looked upon the expenses of
this and the Adjutant-General's Department as ex
cessive. state property.
The amount of property now on hand, consisting
mostly of clothing, arms and ordnance stores, drawn
from the General Government, is of the value of
nearly $300,000, which is no more than the law pro
vides shall be kept on hand^ This property is mostly
stored in Concord, in a wooden building owned by
E. P. Prescott & Co. I can not consider the accom
modations afforded by this building — which was the
best to be had — sufficient for the transaction of the
necessary business, or security against loss by fire
or otherwise, adequate for the preservation of the prop
erty. In addition to the arms now on hand, a Light
Battery has been ordered, a portion of which will
have to be stored some where at the Capital. Most of
this property is, in a sense, borrowed from the United
States, and in case it should be destroyed from want
of proper storage, the State would have to pay for it.
In view of these facts, it appears to me that a State
Arsenal should be built at the Capital large enough for
the storage of the property in possession of the State,
and provided with accommodations for keeping it in

good condition ; and I propose, in a communication to
your Excellency, to state in detail the necessity and
utility of such a building. Other States have generally
adopted this plan, and, beside the security afforded
by suitable buildings, they have employed night and
.day watchmen to look after the property thus stored.
The two arsenals belonging to the State — one at
Lancaster and the other at Portsmouth — are neither
of them suitable buildings for the storage of prop
erty, and, if they were, the inconvenience and ex-1
pense of employing two sets of persons to look after
them, and the trouble of distributing property so far
from headquarters, would render them unavailable for
use. I would earnestly recommend to the attention
of your Excellency and the Legislature the considera
tion of this question, and the adoption of some plan
which shall render the interests of the State in this
respect more secure.

I can not forbear to express my regret, in conclu
sion, that the State of New-Hampshire should present
so unfavorable a contrast with other States in the con.
dition of her mihtary force, as regards this depart
ment; and I believe the policy of saving in every lhV
tie expenditure, while large amounts are wasted by
neglect, is a short-sighted, and, in the end, will prove

13
an extravagant one. I have endeavored to conduct
the affairs of the department in a manner consonant
with the intentions of the Legislature ; and the ap
propriations made, have not allowed any unreason
able expense, had I been disposed to indulge in it.
Other States pay a Quartermaster-General a living
salary, and give him sufficient assistance to perform
his duties in a proper manner. They provide proper
buildings for the reception of their military property,
and the completeness of their military arrangements,
renders them prepared for any emergency which may
call for the active employment of troops. Their ap
propriations are made in a liberal spirit, which New-
Hampshire would do well to emulate.
We have a good militia law, and the spirit of the
people will admit of our organizing a militia force
which will compare favorably with that of any State
of our size and means. All that is needed is a sound
and liberal policy on the part of the legislature, in the
Quartermaster-General's department as it has exhibit
ed in that of the Adjutant-General, which shall foster
the rising spirit and not nip it in the bud by a nig
gardly policy which fails to supply the necessaries of
its existence.
I would recommend that the offices of Adjutant
and Quartermaster-General be made distinct, or that
a reasonable salary be paid for the labor and responsi
bility required. Also, that a number of assistants be
allowed sufficient to keep the accounts of the office
in an intelligible condition, and that an arsenal be
erected suitable for the purpose of such a building.
As this will be my last report, I feel at liberty to

14
make the above suggestions, solicitous only to recom
mend such a course as shall best subserve the interests
of the State and enhance the efficiency of one of her
strongest bulwarks, a well-ordered and well-appointed
militia. Respectfully, Your obedient servant,
NATT HEAD,
Quartermaster- General.
