1 he expenses of marching the militia to the place of general rendezvous, had already amounted to a -sum so very
tenuus. that it was an object or no small importance to comply with the above requisition, without imposin'* new bur
thens on the Stale. Those who furnished supplies naturally looked to the state government for pa> ment,” while he
tween t he Executive authority of the State, and the general government, a difference of opinion existed as to the lia
bility oi tlie latter, for reimbursement. The season or the year, too, made it very desirable to furnish the requisite
lorec, ou» of such iroops as had, in some degree, been enured to the duties of the camp. tJmh r these circumstances,
I Executive disbanded all the troops at Malvern Hills, or Camp Holly Spring, except that portion lately added to if.
Irom 4 hcstrrceld and Ilcnover, who were ordered to Norfolk ; the balance of the requisition from Louisa were call
, Jn,<J the troops at No> folk, under the general orders of tlie 28th of June, the expenses of whose march
bad a! ea<j been incurred, together vrith two hundred riflemen, in the vicinity of Hampton, were by an order of the
llin o! Au. nil transferred to the United States.
Tlie period of service of the trocjw called out under general orders of the 24th of March last, having nearly expired
am there being Mill a detiieney, in the complement allowed by the general government for the defence of Norfolk ail.l
II nipt on, 11 mi**! Tav lor, authorised tor that purpose, by the President ofilic United States, had made sneeze re
quisnions on the Executive, for the number anff description of officers and privates necessary, as well to replace th"
tro.q.s out fo b discharged, as to supply defioiouces in former requisitions.—(See document C 2. I) 2. E 2 F 2
1* 2. II 2. II S )
in Hiete requisitions, the proportions or officers to privates were especially called for, in conformity with the regula
tions ot the war department first promulgated by the Adjutant General at Washington-City, on (lie 19th of March 1813
and afterwards approv'd by the President on (he 1st of May last; which require one hundred privates, eleven no it*
commissioned and five commissioned officers to a company—(See document I 2.)
The quo. a of troops from litis S:at-, placed in requisition, under the G#ner 1 Orders of the 19th of April iSl1? in
pursuance of the act of Congress of the 10th of April 1812, and the instructions of the Secretary of War, of the Tilth
of »he same month, having been organized according to existing iaws, the embarrassment and derangement produced
by the application of the subs qdent rules of (he War Department became great Indeed. Instead of a company’s con
sisiingot one captain, oue lieutenant, one ensign, eight mill-commissioned officers, and sixty privates (wInch last
was assum'd as an average, iu (lie general orders ofthel9lh of April 1-S;2,i the new organization required it to l.e
composed ol l captain, 2 lieutenants, 2 ensigns, eleven non commissioned officers, and one hundred privates. Thus,
nearly one half tlie captains held in requisition, became supernumerary ; and additional lieutenants uud ensigns were
• required. The formation of a regiment also, on the idan of the regular army, requiring two Colonels end only one
Major, it became necessary to dispense with one half the. Majors held in requisition, and to eoli into service *Colo
neE who had no' been previously detailed. Until the promulgation of these rules and regulations of the Mar Depart
meat, all the militia had been called into service, officers and privates, precisely as they were placed in requisition
This may he seen by reference to the general orders of the 22d of July* and 3rd of September 1812,ami 6th of Februa
*'•) ’ 16*1‘ and 2ith of March 1813 ; and indeed, in every special order calling out auy portion of the rebut- ition previ
ously to tlv* general orders of the 23d of August las*. ' 1
When the general orders of the 24th of March were issued, the regulations of the War Department had been in
existence but a few days, and bad not been officially announced to the Executive authority of this State. Of course,
the troops were called into service, without any reference to the change in the organization, which these regulation’
prescribed. But perceiving their influence upon ourdetaehments, the. Governor, on the 1st of April, addressed a letter to
the Secretary ef war, suggesting the expediency of suspending their operation r.s to the qsieta from Virginia, until
the whole of the requisition should hwe been expended. (See document 1. B.) In (lie mean time, the troops were cs
sent1 ling at Iliehmoad, on their way to Norfolk, and t:o answer having been received from the Secretary of Mrar,
they were directed by the Governor to proceed to their place of destination, as originally organized. At the saint
time, the vie.wsof the Executive, in relation to the deraugement which the proposed change woul i make, were fully ex
pressed in a letter from the Adjutant General*’ department, to General Taylor. (See document M. G.) Tne Seere
t.ir> ot War, in lii« answer to tlie Governor, informs him, that the mustering officer shall be. instructed to receive
three e.ommisvoned officers to a company ot one hundred privates ; still leaving the objection™ its 1’uH force, as to the
cap'll ins placed in rtquisition—(See document J. A. 2 )
1 o comply a> ’rh the v. r»ous rtq i iiioi s above ment ioned, as far as practicable, the general orders of (lie 23d of Au
gust were ititncd. (S^e « o umeii. K 2.) The regulations of the wardepartm nt had excluded nearly one half the
eat tains, placed in requisition, h) the general orders of the 190i of April 1812, aud accidental cit •uinslances en
creav-U t e number, as it r luted to the artillery. The Executive were required to have only coo artillerists, of this
State’s quota of 12.000 militia, held in readiness. From the nature of the service, this numb *r was found to be too
sin.U; Norfolk alone, from i s for*s and redoubts requiriag 809. M hen that number were required, after the last
ol llieGt’O bad been called into service by previous orders, the above' difficulty was made known to General T.uior,
the organ oft e General Government, who consented to receive infantry cf the line, instead of Artillerist*, but Artillen
office is w. re s:i!l r- qnirrd. As the management of batteries i* the molt difficult ' branch of tactics, it was not to be
presumed, that offi. e: s, in the line, would possess that knowledge which their duties did not requite. No Art-Ben
©fficersb.i.j* i« requisition, and s eve rid of that corps, among whom were some who had distinguished themselves, in
thert. ns of Crmy Gland, and Hampton, having volunteered tli.-irservifjes, were received. Two companies of Ar
ti .cry. (captain Perkin’s of Goochland, and captain Hill’s from King William.) with their officers, having volunteer
edlo sjx months were received, and are now on duty; but so l.ite as the 7 th of November, there were still two c*d
tain-, and f<;U; subalterns of Artillery wanting to complete the quota. (See document i, 2.) Only two officers of aiiv
other inscription lh m Artillerists besiues General Taylor, aud those constituting his necessary ste.ff, have been con
tinned over six mouths. <
* 1 ap.if’ef'iace me com.uci 01 me executive in retaining Genera! I avlor in service, it on^ht to I»e recollected
that at lilt- tj ue’of Liie decision to that effect, a powerful enemy was mill in one waters, waging a war cf comiacralioU
on the 8bor«w°f<Hir hays ami river*; and wl.v, to the oHinary motives oHiostility, added the keen resenfmrt of
wounded pr.de, and was watching with au Fogle’s eye to seize the first opportunity of retrieving their disirraoe.
^°”J‘ dV? . 0 [,nu*ental a when too, (ho detachments of some experience were aijoulto b« disbanded •
amt to be substituted hy entirely new recruits, to deprive of command an officer on whom both governments had re
cently dispensed pcatiar marks of confidence, who to confessedly great talents, added the benefit ofexpoilen e ard
a tliorough ,knowledge of (he defences of his post, and of the circumjacent country likely to become the tlwatVe of
jW..r. While on ihis subject, it may he p oper to remai k, that the. restrictions, ia the acceptance of the voluntarv
tenders of officers to continue in service, w?re s.» guarded as to pieclude the possibility of>vonridingthc feeliu-s o‘i
any officer, in requisition, wh . might be n.cessurily omitted. In a letter addressed to General IV lort bv the Adi. 1
out General, these explicit tern sure used : ** In accepting the tender of officers to continue in service, it was the oh
* jeet Or the commander in chiel to confine it to those of particular merit only, and whose experience w ould be imnor
tant in training undisciplined troops. It never was intended hy an indiscriminate acceptance of volunteer officers
1 to exclude those Irom service, who, from the very formation of their companies are entitled to com uund. And al'
* though tue utmost confidence is reposed in your judgment, and no doubt i* entertained hut that the officers who
* nave tendered ti.eir services to you,are of (ho description contemplated by the Governor, jet ft’ft to be under' tom*
tha! thei.r acceptance i < provisional only, and that they are not to be received in exclusion o"f officers attached to com
panics «>i Grenadiers, Light infantry, Riflemen or of Artillery, or Cavalry, or where a company lias been formed bv
4 volunteers from The Infantry, ot the line, for the sole purpose of superseding a draft, as wa* the case with contain
n Green * company of Fiederk ksbuig, and many others.” *
In the genuine spirit of thi* communication were the officers called into service, hy the order* of the 23d of Au
gust ; and it is confidently In lieved that the limitations prescribed to General Taylor havefcern n ligiously ob> rved
A«*t a single officer, commanding a Volunteer Company, who was so reported to this office, was omiited • and as ii
•wa* impotsible to e tll into service all the Captains hel'< in requisition, cPnsisttutly with the rules of the’ War I)p
pan men!, it was deemed most advisable to omit those who were, merely detailed for duty.
W ell aware ot the. sensations which would he produced by this change in the organization of the militia, but con
scious how important it was for Virginia to preserve the utmost harmony with the General Government* the Lxe
cutive, discarding all phonal considerations* yielded a compliance with the requisition of the President The no
ti flout ion of this complienoe was accompanied by a sob mn declaration* exhibiting the views of Hie Executive not onh
Upon this point, hut on another, in which Pie state frit a deep interest, that of the liability of the United States foe
ail the expense* of the Militia, when called into actual service. (See document M 2.)
By comparing the original muster rolls with those returned under (ho last mentioned orders, it was soon ascertain
ed that there would he a great deficiency, in the number contemplated. This has arisen partly from removals amt
partly from enlistments in the army of the United States, which hy a law of Congress of the 20lu of Jan i rv I G
permitted to any of the militia, while performing a tour of duty. * ' *
in oruer to supply thesed hoicn lot, odeis ot the 23rd ol S ptember, were ac'uallv prepared, calling out the resi
due of the gene ral mjuisi i*n, from all parts of the State not particularly exposed t > invasion ; which would hav- been
barely •uttrknt to cover the demand. But the enemy having abandoned our waters, the Executive determined to di*
charge Col. M’Dowrli’s detachment, unless by its own oonsent, it could be transfers d to Norfolk. This consent hav
ing been signified through the commandant, orders were issued, on die 27th ot Srploni ier for duehargint: all the ea
valry, and non effective*, and for proceeding with the balance to Norfolk, on the 12th ot October. In con Benue nen or
this arrangement the orders of the 23d of Septcmlier wero not issued. Tims were all the troops not rxnrrw!,ti rr pi
ved into the United States’s.-rviee, except one company, stationed at Fort Powhatan, discharged, aim by orders ot
• » NoVtmber ‘hat company was also discharged, leaving a detachment of men only, lor the arcscrvHtk.
ot the nridtary stores. r
In estimating the defensive measures adopted by the Executive, the fortiticatiouj at Howl’s, or Fo *t Powhatan
ought not to pass unnoticed. That post, tW strong by nature, hod deemed all-important to the security of f»,*;ern
burg and Richmond, had received hut little assistance from art. The works there have been greatly strengthened
and several heavy piece* of ordnance mounted ; but it is still far from being reudered so impregnable as from it
natural advantages it is susceptible. * h Uom ,u
