1861.] Document No. 6. 3
The remaining three Companies of Artillery are on gar-rison
duty on the coast.
The Seventh Infantry is under marching orders to Vir-ginia.
The Eiglith Infantry and first and second Cavalry are in
Camp of Instruction, not yet fully equipped and armed.
Of the Volunteer forces, the Ist, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th,
11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, are on service in Virginia.
The Yth and 10th are on garrison duty on the coast.
The 25th is at Asheville with marching orders to Raleigh.
Parts of the 26th, at Raleigh, of the 2nh, at High Point,
of the 28th, at Asheville, and one or two unattached Com-panies
at Newborn.
Four unattached Companies, with three Companies of Ar-tlUery,
are at Fort Macon.
The whole force in Virginia at the date of the muster-roll
and enlistment returns, so far as can he ascertained, is as
follows :
Of the State Troops, 8,255
Of the Volunteers, 12,315
In all
^
'
20,570
The absence of proper rolls and specific returns from the
heads of the Regiments preclude the possibility of precise
information. The number above does not allow for deaths,
casualties or discharges ; nor does it embrace large numbers
of recruits, which, it is said, have from time to time gone
on. As such recruiting has not been authorised, nor
indeed reported to the Adjutant General, there is no record
of the same. Efibrts have been, and are now makino-.
to obtain full and prompt returns. Much inconvenience
has been felt and experienced by the troops themselves for
the want of muster-rolls, which can only be supplied by
the respective Captains.
