The volunteer force Of the State ut this
time consists in the Second Regiment,
eight companies, and Of four companies
unattached, aggregating about $50 men.
The First Regiment, as also several un-
attached companies, have disbanded since
the last biennial report OF the Adjutant

The peace OF the State has been pre-
served during tho past year without the
aid OF the military, Whilst it is hoped
that peace and order may still obtain in
the State without its Intervention, yet it is
respectfully recommended that such legis.
lation should be enacted as will best secure
an efficient organization OF the volunteer
militia. r
Your attention is called to the recon-
mendations Of the Adjulant General in his
report on this subject.
The Adjutant General also asks for an
additional appropriation for copying the
war records.
With the report OF the Adjutant Cen
eral will be fund his report as Librarian,
giving the condition Of the State Library,
and asking for further appropriation for
additional books to be purchased. ,.
