The MILITARY OF THE STATE-RSRoRT OF
TIE ApJUTANR. GENERAL.-Adj General
W. q. Richardson in his report to the Gov
ernor says q The active volunteer force OF
the State consists OF one regiment at Rich
moud of six companies Of infantEy, and one
company of artillery attached total, four
hundred and ninety.eighf, rankand fle-the
infantry armed with breech.loading rife-mus-
kets, the artillery with four three-inch rife
guns and two WhitWorth guns, with Car
riages and implements complete ttLsen de-
tached com panies Of Infantry, uniformed,
and armed with breech.loading riffe-mus-
kets; and two companies of artillery, one OF
which (at Norfolk) is provided! with battery
complete. These companies are located one
artillery company at Norfolk, one at Peters.
burg. Infantry: Two at Norfolk, two at
Petersburg, one at Williamsburg, one at
Staunton, one at Charlottesville, one ut
Lyuchburg, one at DanVille; and the fol.
lowing companies, omposed of men OF color,
uniformed and armed as are the other vol.
unteer corps: three at Richmond, one at
Manchester, one at Petersburg, and one 1t
Norfolk.
"The following com panies have been COM
missioued and are now procuring uniforms
One troop Of cavalry in Amelia county, one
company of infantry in Wythe county, and
one in Portsmouth tbe last colored).
"The volunteer spirit is increasing IN the
State, and several other companies have been
commissioned during the present year, but
have been unable to meet the expense of
procuring uniforms. This, l think, is the
only impediment to the organization OF
large force in the State"
