SIR,-You will receive herewith a return of all the military property of this state in my possession; also an abstract of the annual returns of the public property in the several Brigades of the militia of this state, and an abstract of moneys received from the State Treasury and from fines, and how the same has been appropriated. The returns, from which the abstracts have been made, being by law returnable to the office of the Adjutant and Inspector General, I could not at an earlier date, make the returns to you, which the law requires shall be done in the month of September; and I would take the liberty to suggest whether it would not be expedient to have the law so altered as to require the returns from the several brigades and regiments to be made to the Quarter Master General, or relieve him from the duty of making returns to the Commander in Chief. Previous to the first of June last, I had delivered to the several commandants of Regiments, for the use of the light infantry companies, fourteen hundred and twenty (1420) muskets, and for the use of the rifle companies seven hundred and sixty-two (762) rifles. It appears from the abstract of returns that 652 of the muskets and 402 of the rifles are unaccounted for; but what regiments have failed to account for the arms received, I am unable to state, as the returns are in the hands of the Adjutant and Inspector General. I am, sir, very respecfully, DAVIS RICH, Quarter Master General of the Militia of Vermont. To his Ex'y S. H. JENISON, Governor and Commander in Chief. RETURN of the ordnance, apparatus, arms, and other military property of this state, in my possession. All in good order and deposited in the U. S. Arsenal at Vergennes. DAVIS RICH, Quarter Master General. Shoreham, Sept. 30th, 1840. ABSTRACT of annual returns of the public property in the several brigades of the militia of Vermont, for the year 1840. | Bugles.
