Under chapter 597 OF the Acts Of AS
sembiy Of the session 1884 the Fourth
Battalion Infantry. Virginia Volunteers.
was formed by the two companies In
existence in Portsmouth. and when the
commander-in-chief some time ago IS
sued an order providing that the Blues
Battalion and the First Battalion. Artill-
cry. Virginia Volunteers. should be as
signed TO the First Brigade. he had some
hesitancy as to whether or not he had
the power to assign also the Fourth
Battalion TO the same command. He has
since satisfied himself that he has this
power, and hence the issuing OF above
order.
In taking this stand the Governor has
simply carried out a recommendation
which Brigadier-General Anderson made
years ago 10 Governor Cameron, and
afterwards to Governor Lee, who thought
that II would be TO the interest Of the
service TO have all military commands
assigned 10 the First Brigade.
Section 303 of the Code Of Virginia, re-
ferred TO in General order No. s, reads as
follows
Section 300: To be governed by articles
OF war. The Virginia Volunteers shall.
in addition 10 the provisions of this
chapter. be governed by the articles of
war, which may be in force for the gov
eminent OF the army of the United States.
and such regulations issued by the com
mander-n-chief, as shall not be in con-
1ict with the laws OF this State and of
the United States.
Section 37f contains the following:
Section ga. How courts martial and
courts of inquiry appointed. Courts-mar-
tial and courts of inquiry shall be APP
pointed, organized and conducted as pre-
scrlbed in the State regulations as pro-
yided In this chapter for the govern
ment OF Virginia Volunteers. Their form
OF procedure and record shall conform
TO that Of like courts in he United States
army.
The regulations prepared and formula
ed by this board will be submitted 70 the
