Tn. t;rner,,l Guv,rnu.nt requested that the

force of the State, provided for the defence Of
the National Government, did not puTchas,
any as authorized by the 18th section OF the aci
of the 18th Of MAY, 1851 The State has now
|
her volunteer organizations in existence but
influenced by the threatening aspect of our rela
tions with foreign governments have directed
the Adjutant General 10 procure arms as soon u.
it c.,n be done on reasonable terms and without
injurious competitions with the National Gov

the border counties to all the organizations tina

dressed letter TO the commissioners of all tn,
border counties. offering arms to them as so0r
as military organizations shall be formed Il

the requirements of the 9th section of the Ac
of 18th May last, have deemed it prudent Il
offer five thousand arms TO such military organ

plan to te approved by me as Commander in
| Chief Nusk.ts and niles to a considerable
extent have been furnished to the Pennsyl
vania volunteers from the State arsenal -
Others have been sent by the United State
authorities to arm them before leaving tn,
State. In some cases regiments have gon,
without arms under assurances from the Wa
Department that they would be armed a
| Washington or other near designated points
and that their immediate departure was re1uir
ed 1t was thought wise in these cases not t,
insist on the arms being sent before the Iegi
ments marched as this would have imposed OF
the government an unnecessary expense il
freight, aud would have been productive of de
laws which might have been seriously detrilnen
tai to the public service. Forty two pieces q
artillery with lmbers, caissons, forges, ammuni
ton wagons harness and all the necessary i'm
plements and equipments were furnished b.
the state to the artillery regiment o, the Re
serve Corps Ten of thrse were purchased b,
the Statr, and their cost has been refunded by tn

lecting arms throughout the State and rep iii

manner.
