As for the addenda matters the acts
in relation to the War Of Secession
taken from the statutes at large Of
South Carolina, [ have thought proper
to publish since apart from their IN
trinsic interest, as echoes from the past,
they give the legislature action under
which South Carolina from 1861 TO
1865, in raising the State troops called
from time to time into service.
The list Of organizations froE South
Carolina in the Confederate serEice on
August 80, 1862, is an interesting ex
hibit, showing in the aggregate:

In announcing the completion Of my
labors in the fulfllment Of the high
trust committed to me, and this is an
enlarged form and upon a broader scope
than that originally contemplated, j.
might here close this report and rest
with grateful sense Of duty done and
a high appreciation Of the privilege ac-
corded me Of vindicating the truth of
history and Of consummatng a word Of
justice to the dead and OF honor to the
living Of our noble and self-sacri6cing
Confederate soldiery.
But [ would be wanting In my duty
if / did not further recommend to the
general assembly the logical conclusion
of this matter by the publication IN
book form Of the rolls collected with an
appropriate sketch Of the part taken by
the State Of South Carolina, and theya-
rious commands from this State in the
war between the States aTeeably to
the joint resolution Of the general ass
sembly, approved December 20. 1893,
the same being the thirty-third anni- s
versary Of the passage Of the Ordinance
of Secession of South Carolina.
No augmentation is necessary to in-
crease the obvious force of the PROPOSE
ton.
The proposed publication as matter
of Justice is due to the cause In which
South Carolina pledged her all in Vindi
cation Of her sovereignty.
Moreover the publication would be
an act of craftsmanship calculated to
promote our State pride and to aug
ment the telling of brotherhood be-
tween cur people thatwould strengthen
the muniments Of the commonwealth.
My acknowledgements are due and are
hereby rendered to those Confederate
survivors who have interested them
selves in my work, and especially to
Mrs. Augustine T. Smythe and Rev. Dr..
John johnson, D. D., Of Charleston,
who have made valuable contributions
to the rolls.
Nor must I omit to commend the ex-
cellent spirit shown by Private Jesse
McCartha, Of company K, Thirteenth
regiment South Carolina volunteers.
and Private j. B. ON. Barley, Of
company L, Orr's rifles, who were in
strumental in securing for this Office
the long missing rolls Of their respec-
tive companies.
/ have the honor to be
Yours respectively,
Jno. P. Thomas.
