600. We have IN service SO regiments Of infantry
and considerable number Of battalions and compa-
MES in this of the service that have ot been Or
ganized into regiments. We bave eight organized
regiments Of cavalry, and number OF compaaies al
tached to different commando, which, II consolidated,
would make probably three regiments more We
have issued 3l5 pieces Of artillery, nearly all Of
which in service in the field. One artillery regi-
ment only has been organized, and that was organ
lied at the instance OF Gen. Magruder. When the
war commenced, we were compelled to put out arll-
lery companies in the field as fast they could be
raised and armed. The necessity which requiredthe
adoption Of this course at the origin OF this war mas
continued to exist, and felt it to DO duty TO trans-
fer the companies to Confederate control as soon as
they were mustered into service 1t is not probable,
therefore, that additional artillery regiments will be
organized at this time.
BY agreement with the Confederate authorities,
the State Of Virginia paid of her volunteers IN the
field to the Both day Of June. The Paymaster Gene.
rails report shows that lie has paid 7S companies OF
cavalry, 81 companies Of artillery, 1O. companies Of
infantry, one company OF cadets, and seven compa-
mics OF militia. There remain TO be psid Elk compa-
MES Of infantry and one of cavalry. We had, there
fore, in service on the 3Oth day OF June last, az
companies Of all arms Of the service, comprising al
oSj men, then in the field The Paymaser-General
states III bis report: "The force which | report as
having been in the field and paid 10 the 3Oth Of June,
has been greatly increased by recruiting the compa-
MES as reported to Inc by the Paymssters. In many
they had increased % per cent, in 80 per
cent" Since the date mentioned we have added
largely to volunteer force, and for months pact
the militia in the valley. portions Of the wes in
the Piedmont region aud in tide water, have rem
dered more less seryice under calls from the oil
GERS in command in these sections Of the State.
The expenditures of the State for war purposes
since the 18th of April last, amount to more than
$1,000 600. Her contributions Of men and money for
the common cause have been eheerfully furnished
and her past gives assurance of her deteIms-
ton TO spare effort TO insure success. She feels
and knows, and therefore acts upon the principle
that nothing short OF tue full and free recognition OF
the INDEPENDENCE Of the Southern Confederscy can
give Of protection 10 persons and property,
and happiness and prosperity TO her people. Every
consideration therefore, that should influence peo
pie prompts us 10 repudiate all compromises, 10 re.
Ject oil 0dUaaces t0rdrd reconstruction. We must
triumph this struggle. In that alone consists our
ssfcty for the present and for the future.
In addition TO arming our own troops have issued
arms to such unarmed regiments, battaons and COM
panies from the other States to participate in
this struggle. l have furnHhed TO our friends in
Maryland 8 600 muakets; 10 Tennessee five batteries
of six-pounder feldpieces, compriting four guns
each, aud have armed number Of her infantry
regiments to Missouri, two six-pounder Iiied csn
non and 500 muskets; 10 Kentucky, 5000 muskets;
and l have furnished arms TO regiments battsliOns
and companies from Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and
South Carolina. Very recently have furnished
guns and 500 muskets 10 North Carolina. The Con-
iederate and State Authorities have worked together
for the advancement of IA caufe common TO both, and
the success of which can only be secured by united
counsel and concerted action.

The northwestern portion of Virginia must not be-

and the merccnary sodiery who now occupy 1t.
We owe il TO thcfe noble Gnd generous men who
have stood BY Ms throughout this great struggle,
who have sacrificed their all in their devotion TO
Virginia and the South who are now refugees,
scattered here and there throughout the loyal por-
lions of the Commonwealth, far removed from all
the endearmepts and comforts Of home and family
and friends. We must restore these men 10 their
homes; we mut repossess this country, and bring II
again under fGbjecion to tie laws OF Virginia.
The Commonwealth must not be dismsmbered.
When this war ends, she must be what she was
when il Wac inauguratsd. The Ohio river was the
western boundary then, and it must continue TO he
her boundary.
