/ up Ohio will meet the crisis firmly npd
] fulfil her part. 81 The more decided her ac1
tion, the sooner Will Peace succeed War,and
Loyalty supplant Treason. r5if.IiFaA
To give force and system 10 her aetion, tie
following general order is promulgated >
1. The Militia is divided into the &c Active
army of operation" ," and the q Militia Of the
Reserve" The nine regiments now en1
camped, (additiOnat the thirteen hiushatetl
into the United States serviee,) and sueh
further regiments as the General Assembly
shall authorize, will be mustered into the
State service, and placed under strict disci1
pline, for immediate duty,
Lieut., Col. Buckingham, lst Assistant Adj
jutant General is datailed from this Depart
ment for that service. ca i-t si1- 4 =, I
II. The enrolled militia, between the ages
of Is and A5, exceeds 3O0, 900 men. This
force Is divided into the lst, I'd and Sd Rel
serve Corps.
The abie-bodied force of other ages, rel
tired from service, but fully eempetent to
meet any demand that the exigeneies Of
the UnIon may require, exceeds 200, 900 men,
and VIII constitute the 4ih and 5th Reserve
Corps
sqhe lst Reserve Corps will be organized
forthwith, and be subject to immediate
transfer sato the "active army Of opera
tion," Applications, however, fol, tho orr
ganization IF Militia for the Reserve, will
not be limited to this quota; but the eompa-
nies composing it will receive the post Of
honor, and the first assignment to active
duty, in case the country require their SER
vices. The only exception will be, il favor
of companies now under drill which failed
to receive an assignment into the % regi-
msnts now in camp.
III. The Militia Of the Reserve will be
organized as foll0wss lst. Competent mili-
tary men, or responsible citizens, will apply
to this department for an order TO raise g
company not exceeding 100 able bodied
men. ID. A form of enlistment will be
mailed, if the application be approved Sd.
The roll viii be returned to this Office; an
election win be ordered, and the officers will
be commissioned. 4th. The roll must en-
brace citizens of the township, so that they
can readily associate themselves, and
promptly respond to any order from General
Head Quarters. 5th. Whenever a company
is transferred into the "Active Army Of OPP
eration,' new commissions viii issue, giving
due precedence to the grade of the prior
commission, so that the earliest commissions
in the Militia of the Reserve will confer su-
perior rank in the transferred corps.
Nv. This orpaniZatiOn ia deeiUnad fo. leave
all the domestic and economic machinery Ol
society in full play, until the transfer be-
comes necessary. Members of the Militia
Of The Reserve will therefore devote due at
/ tention to their ordinary concerns, and dc
what they can to prevent idleness, and IN
/ sure full crop of all the products of the
farm. Any other course will mako the
| struggle dOublY burdensome, notwithstand-
| ing the fset that Ohio has already in store
1 provisions for a year in advance.

Total, 900 Companies.
VI. As a general rule, public arms wi
not be issued to the militia of the reservt
but proximate estimate of the number
private rifles in the possession of men expei
in their use, shows, that with proper exel
1 tion, nearly or quite the entire first contin
gent of 1901 men can be armed, and dis
eiplined in hours of leisure, postponing the
draft upon the State until they are tranl
ferred to the Active Corps.
VII. It is the purpose Of this Department
to procure, as soon as possible, q 4" VoluI
teer Manual" for distribution among II
E Militia Of the reserves and to issue q code
Regulations for their gQEernment and dn
cipline.
