twelve months, and the other of six months
Under these resolutions. have commissioned
oTncefs from hTst Lieutenant down TO third
lieutenant, and in one iGstaE ce / have COM
missioned captain to raise Immediately an
artillery company. To make it as little ex-
pensiye rs possible to the Safe have, for the
present, confined myself to the appoin tment
OF these officers. Perhaps il may not be ne
cessary to enlist for the second regiment.
Ine Convention, aisc, by resoiu uon, author
ICES the Governor TO call Immediately in to
service companies, with their officers, some
what on The principles of yolun teers, and TO
form Them into regiment by appointing
field officers. have made q call CT this kind
tor enc regiment at present, and appoint ted
Colonel Maxey Gregg, a brave and able OFF,
Ger, 10 command it. "A portion OF this COM
pany is in actual position on Snllivan's Is
land, and other companies for it are rapidly
arriving This regiment is for six months
II regiment of men enlisted for twelve
months be raised, il Will require about $780,
900 to equip and support it.
The regiment tor SIX months, under Colonel
Gregg. will be at an expense OF about SlO0,O00.
II the other regiment OF enlisted men for six
months be found necessary, ii Will be 4 II addi-
tional expense OF Slu0,U00.
/, therefore, most respectfully recommend
that some provision be made for the pay and
support of these regiments in such manner as
the wisdom OF The Legislature may adopt
recommend, also, that the bill which is before
the LEGISLATURE, entitled "a bill tor the astab-
ilshment of Coast Police for South Carroll
na,'' be passed. This, ii is supposed, will in-
volve an expense OF Sl5O,UU0.
The act passed to provide an arme ed. N Ilitary
force may involve an expenditure of $50, ,UUll,
"a nd r; ia
S4u0000 more for the purchase o! arms ana
munitions. These several sums amount TO
Si, 100000. II is hoped that circums taEces
may arise which will give pacific settiemen |
20 our difflc lculties, and il SO, every reasonable
eudeavor shall be made TO prevent the expen-
dIture OF the whole amount; but the more
certain way to produce pacific turn TO events,
is to be thoroughly prepared To meet any
emergency r W. flckENs.
