TO THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. RALEIGH : P. M. Hale and Edwards, Broughton & Co., State Printers and Binders, 1881. -*6 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Adjutant General. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Raleigh, January 1st, 1881. To His Excellency, Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis • Sir :—I have the honor to submit my annual report for the year 1880. The accompanying papers contain a com-plete register of the military force of the State, an abstract of the muster rolls, a statement of the receipt and disburse-ment of ordnance and ordnance stores, the general orders issued during the past year, and a tabulated form show-ing the location of the companies—all of which I respect-fully commend to the attention of your Excellency and the General Assembly. The effective strength of the State Guard is 2,117 men, formed into three regiments of infantry (white), one bat-talion of infantry (white), two battalions of infantry (colored), and one battalion of artillery (white). The force is, for the most part, armed with breech-loading rifles of the latest and best patterns, such as are used in the regular army. 2 Annual Report of the Adjutant General The State Guard was organized four years ago. It wa9 seen that the fundamental laws, both Federal and State, require "a well-regulated militia"; and that the act of Con-gress, in obedience to the Constitution, declares that ever}' able bodied citizen of the respective States, &c, shall be enrolled in the militia ; and that the militia of each State shall be arranged into companies, battalions, brigades, &c, as the Legislature of the State may direct.—'(Rev. Statutes U. S., sections 1625 and 1630.) And, further, that the Constitution of North Carolina, recognizing the time-honored principle that "a well regu-lated militia is necessary to the security of a free State," in clear, distinct, unequivocal terms imposes upon all able-bodied citizens of the State, between certain ages, the obliga-tion of duty in the militia ; and declares that " the General Assembly shall provide for the organizing, arming, equip-ping and disciplining the militia." at the same time investing the Governor with power to call them out to execute the laws, suppress riots, &c, and granting the Legislature power " to enact laws that may be expedient for the government of the militia."—(Article XII State Constitution.) In obedience to this mandate of the Constitution, the General Assembly sought to give North Carolina " a well-regulated militia," such as the organic law requires ; and the act for the establishment of the State Guard was the consequence.—(Laws of 1S76-77, chapter 272.) The object of this law is to substitute a volunteer militia for the old compulsory system which applies to the whole body of the people, and which has become so inapplicable to existing conditions as to be utterly disregarded. The act contemplates that this armed body of men shall be re-stricted, in time of peace, to moderate size ; and that it shall be thoroughly armed, equipped, and disciplined, so as to be ready at all times to respond promptly to the call of the constituted authorities when their services shall be required. Annual Report of the Adjutant General. 3 Beginning in March, 1877, with 19 detached companies (9 white and 10 colored), the State Guard has increased Lo 42 companies (32 white and 10 colored), completely organ-ized into battalions and brigades. In point of efficiency and drill this corps will compare favorably with any vol-unteer militia in the United States, which receives as ours does no monetary aid from the State. And enough is seen to show to what a high standard of excellence in all soldierlv qualities the citizen soldiers of North Carolina might attain did they receive anything like the pecuniary support given to militia organizations in some other States. Governor Vance, in his message to the General Assembly of 1879, commended the State Guard as " the nucleus of an excellent volunteer militia organization," and remarked that "the great ma-jority of them are excellent, industrious young men, the flower of the communities where they live;" and that "in case of emergency they would be invaluable for maintaining, order and enforcing the laws." He said further, " the State Guard really do all the duty and fill all the functions of the whole militia contemplated in the Constitution, and should be encouraged and supported liberally." Equally emphatic are the words of approbation used by your Excellency in a. special message to the same General Assembly. In the face of such commendation and the plain commands of the Con-stitution, it would be superfluous to add anything as to the necessity of maintaining "a well regulated militia," or the value of the system established by the Legislature of 1876-77,. and known as the." North Carolina State Guard." . The organization merits encouragement from the State,. and I respectfully recommend that all regularly commis-sioned officers and enlisted men of the State Guard be ex-empted bylaw from working on the public roads, and from serving on juries in any of the courts of the State ; and that the force be limited, in time of peace, to forty-five commis-sioned officers and enlisted men for each representative in the House of Commons. 4 Annual Report of the Adjutant General I further suggest that some provision be made for annual encampments, by battalion or brigade, for practice in bat-talion drill, and in field and camp duty,as is done in many of the States; and that your Excellency be authorized to have a Code of Regulations for the government of the mili-tia made and published at an early day. All this can be accomplished at small cost. An expensive militia is neither necessary nor desirable, but some reason-able, well-considered expenditures on the part of the State in this behalf would be money wisely invested. The spirit •of patriotism which induces men in time of public tran-quility to fit themselves to serve their country in time of public peril, ought to be fostered and encouraged by wise and generous laws instead of dampened or extinguished by cold neglect and indifference. All that is asked by the two thousand men enrolled in the State Guard is such a just and reasonable recognition of the obligations of service which they have taken upon themselves as will enable them to keep up an organization sufficient for the needs of the State, and not inferior in any pointof view to similar bodies in our sister States. At the coming centennial celebration at Yorktown, it is expected that North Carolina, along with others of the thirteen original States, will be represented by its military. The occasion promises to be the most imposing of its kind ever held upon this continent. If North Carolina is to take part in these ceremonies, it is not too soon to begin prepara-tion for doing so. To be well represented there, much is to be done ; and rather than not be well represented it would be better that we were not represented at all. While no ma-terial advantage is likely to flow to the State from her pro-posed participation in the grand pageant contemplated, our reputation as a State, and our pride as a people are involved. If the North Carolina troops are to be present, they will need assistance from the State. It is useless to talk of mov-ing the twelve or fifteen hundred men, likely to go, with Annual Report of the Adjutant General. 5 private means only. Shelter, it is understood, will be pro-vided by the general government; once there, the men can subsist themselves; but help is absolutely necessary in the matter of transportation: without such help, the North Carolina troops caunot appear at the celebration in credit-able numbers. I therefore recommend that some provision be made for their transportation to York town in October, and for defraying the contingent expenses incident to the proposed expedition. ORDNANCK. Under the act of Congress, April 23, 1808, (Revised Statutes U. S., sec. 1661,) appropriating the annual sum of two hundred thousand dollars for arming and equipping the whole body of the militia, the State of North Carolina re-ceives an annual quota of $4,797.85, in ordnance and ord-nance stores. From January 1st, 1870, to January 1st, 1877, the State received from the United States government arms, &c, of the value of $52,312.2-1 And since January 1st, 1S77, the State has received stores to the amount of $33,199.21. less a small balance remaining due. Thus it appears there is now in the hands of the militia, the military schools, and the penitentiary authorities, or at the arsenal, military property belonging to the State of the original value of $85,511.45. The care and preservation of this property involves much labor, difficulty and responsibility. An accurate, itemized statement of all the receipts and disbursements is required to be kept. The help of a clerk is needed to the proper discharge of this duty, and I respectfully suggest that pro-vision be made for such clerical assistance as may from time to time be necessary. The law requires the arms and equipments in possession of the militia and the schools to be inspected annually. (Acts of 1876-77, chap. 272, sec. 18.) It is important that 6 Annual Report of the Adjutant General. this be done : otherwise thousands of dollars worth of valu-able property must inevitably be damaged, lost or destroyed. Under the act above referred to, the expenses of such in-spection are to be paid by the State; but this provision was repealed by the laws of 1879, chap. 240, sec. 10. Until some provision is made for defraying the travelling expen-ses of the inspecting officer, this duty cannot be performed in any other than a very imperfect and unsatisfactory man-ner. This expense need not exceed a few hundred dollars per annum. I respectfully suggest that the attention of the Senators and Representatives in Congress from this State be called to the fact that an act of Congress, entitled " an act making appropriations for the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1876, and for other purposes," ratified March 3d, 1875, provided that so much of the appropriation for arming and equipping the militia, between the 1st of January, 1861, and the 9th of April, 1865, under the act of April 23d, 1808, "as would have been used for the purchase of arms to be distributed to the several States that were in rebellion, shall be covered into the Treasury of the United States ;" that under this act a charge was raised against the quota due the State of North Carolina of $23,622.25; that the Chief of Ordnance has recommended that legislation be asked of Congress with the view of removing the injus-tice done our State, along with two or three others, by its enactment; and that the restitution of this lapsed quota is very desirable. It was lost through the failure of a former administration to make requisition for the amount due the State, under the act referred to, within the time prescribed by the statute; and it should be recovered, and can be, in all probability, if the proper effort be made. In conclusion, I have to thank your Excellency for the attention you have given at all times to such matters per-taining to my department as I have laid before you from time to time, and to express my acknowledgment to Colonels Annual Report of the Adjutant General. 7 Cameron and Olds and other officers having business with me for the earnest co-operation and valuable assistance they have rendered- I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOHNSTONE JONES, Adjutant General N.
