Pennsylvania State Finances and War Mobilization in 1862
Governor reports the fiscal year ends November 30 with sinking fund activity and debt payments. He notes direct tax remittance to the U.S. and outstanding advances for volunteers. He details railroad bond actions, railroad construction progress, and the Sinking Fund. He praises volunteer militia mobilization, draft results, and state contributions, and calls for legislative guidance on taxation, banking, and war costs. He commends Brig. Gen. Reynolds and Gen. Wool’s forces and requests Congress aid for damaged communities.
