Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Message No; 1 of His Excellency, F. W, Pickens: To the Legislature, at the Extra Session of November, 1861 Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: You have been called together for the purpose of appointing Electors for President and Vice President of these Confederated States, which has to be done on the first Wednesday in this month. In addition to this, I desire to call your attention to the present state of our military organization. From the pressing emergency of the wax, so many troops have been called into active service that the remainder of our population, fit for military duty, is left in a state of comparative disorganization. Under the late Act of eighteen hundred and sixty, volunteer regiments were formed out of the old militia battalions, and, in many parts of the State the officers of beat companies, battalions, and regiments, have entered the new volunteer organizations, and have been mustered into Confederate service. Under this Act of eighteen hundred and sixty, eleven full regiments have been formed for twelve mouths. The Convention also raised one regiment for six months. Under Confederate authority, a full and most efficient legion has, likewise, been mustered into service. Under special requisition from the President of the Confederate States, two regiments were raised for and during the war. Eleven of these regiments are now in Virginia (one other having served its time and been disbanded), and three on our own sea-coast - in all, fifteen. I have, also, recently mustered into Confederate service, by special requisition from the President, four more full regiments, for and during the war, with four cavalry and two light artillery companies. We have, moreover, a regiment of infantry and a battalion of regular enlisted forces. These will make an aggregate of something more than nineteen thousand men now in actual service. Besides this, I have the troops of the city of Charleston, with a force of more than three thousand effective men, placed on a war footing, and held as a reserve, armed and equipped, ready for any emergency.
