I'm reply, am Instructed to state that
where the organizations 10 which it is in :
tended to assign these men, are complete,
aud the commissions actually issued to
hem, the order for their discharge will
be given. r.H ..f. .0.ag
"The necessity for this course has ,isen
from the numerous complaints by Colo.
uels Of regiments. tba. their commands
are thus continually being rendered less
effective, an6. although no obsaels is in.
tended to the advancement ofworlhy men,
it is not deemed advantageous to The ser
vice to detach them from duty with their
respective regiments. until the new posi-
lions to which they may be assigned are
really available Tor them. a. -, .r

From the above it will appear that but
little or no assistance in the formation of
u c new regiments can be expected Of the
men thus to be promoted, This may seem
10 be unjust 10 those upon whom this labor
will deyolve But as the greater pat Of
the expense Of raising The new levies will
be- borne by voluntary subscriptions, and
from funds furnished by lhcIGovernment,
there certainly cannot be any valid objec.
ton TO taking men who aIe in active ser
vice, and giving them now commands when
the organizations are effected. This would
be wise and liberal course to pursue,
as it would be doing justice to many who
promptly responded 10 their country's FIRST
call, and at the some time it cannot fail to
exercise beneficial influence upon The
new recruits. ........- ....'....., ..
The most lib4ral Interpretation of the
Assistent Adjutant Generals letter will
undoubtedly be adopted by our State au
thorities; aud il such should be the case
the officers can be mustered into their new
positions as follows: lst Lieutenant, when
one'half of company is. mustered into
service; the Captain and I'd Lieutenant,
when the organization of the company is
complete, Lieutenant Colonel when fur,
Major when six. Colonel and other regi.
mental and suf officers when ton for en-

mustered into service. ....'..., 3.
