The First Call.

On the 18th of April, 1862 a telegraphic dis
patch was received from Gov. Ramsey, then in
Washington, announcing that he had rendered.
in the name of Minnesota, one thousand men
to aid in sustaining the Government. The next
day our regular dispatches stated the quota of
Minnesota, under the call for $4,000 men to
serve three months, at 1850 men, or one full
regiment. On the 18th Of the same month,
Lieut.. Gov. Donnelly issued q proclamation
that volunteers, to make up one regiment,
would be received from the State of Minnesota,
to serve for three months unless sooner dis
charged. Accompanying it was an order from
the Adjutant General giving details as to the
organization of the proposed regiment. and
that preference would be given, in accepting
companies offered, to the several volunteer
militia companies already organized.
The First Response.
The work of perfecting the peace organiza-
ton of militia companies for active service,
and Of recruiting their numbers to the maxi
mum required under the first call, was prompt
ly undertaken, and in seven days after his pro-
clamation the 1t. Governor had received ten
ders of two companies from st. Paul and one
each from Chatfeld, Minneapolis, Saltwater
and Faribault.
The Proposed Uniform.
As it was known that the Government was
unprepared to furnish regulation uniforms for
the volunteer regiments, it was proposed to
uniform the Minnesota regiment in black felt
hats, red or blue flannel shirts and grey panta-
looms. To save reference to the subject here
after, we may say here that when the regiment
finally. left the State, the several companies
were clothed somewhat in the style above de.
sc:ibed, except two companies. which, while
on detached service in the State, managed to
uniform themselves, from Uncle Sans garri-
son supplies, in regulation blue.
A Fall Regiment.
On the 9th of April ten days after his proc
lamation the Governor had accepted the fol-
lowing militia companies to form the Mime
sofa regiment for United States service:
