738 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Mar. 11,
by their Senator, Mr. Vickers, and by their Representatives,
Gov. Swann and Mr. Hamilton, who, with Gov. Ponder, of
Delaware, and Mr. Biggs, Representative of that State in the
House of Representatives, accompanied them to the Depart-
ment of the Secretary of War ; that Secretary Belknap be-
ing unavoidably absent, they were very courteously received
by General Humphreys, the official head of the Department.
The subject of the mission was brought to the attention of
the Department by Senator Earle, of our Joint Committee, in
a clear and forcible speech, which set forth the advantages
of the contemplated work, and presented it to the Depart-
ment in its truly national character.
General Humphreys expressed himself as deeply interested
in the subject, and solicited a copy of Senator Earle's speech
for more mature consideration. This the Senator, at the so-
licitation of the Committee, wrote out and forwarded to the
Hon. Thomas Swann, to be made us® of to promote the suc-
cess of this undertaking; and, deeply impressed with the
importance of laying the information contained, in the re-
marks of Senator Earle before the Legislature and the people
of the State, your committee have solicited a copy, which
they desire to have printed as a past of their report. They
can but hope, from the views expressed by Senator Vickers
and Representatives Messrs. Swann and Hamilton, and the
deep interest manifested in the undertaking by General
Humphreys, that the object of the mission will be accom-
plished, and appropriation be made by Congress to have the
proper surveys executed. In view of the information con-
tained in this speech, and the deep interest the subject is at-
tracting in every part of the State, would suggest that a
thousand copies be printed in pamphlet form for the use of
the members.
