WAR OF 1812-1814. 
 
 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 The President of the United States having, in conformity to an 
 act of Congress, required a draft of 14,000 men, as tlie quota of Penn- 
 sylvania, towards the detachment of 100,000 militia, tlie Governor 
 is desirous, with promptitude, to perform all the duties which the 
 Constitution and laws, principle and patriotism, assign him He 
 feels his high responsibility. He knows the ardent heart — warm 
 zeal of the Pennsylvania militia ; and liis sensibilities are alive to the 
 honor of his Country. 
 
 The revolution of America, that great and mighty struggle, which 
 issued in giving to the United States, that place among the poAvers 
 of tlie earth, to which the laws of nature and of nature's God enti 
 tied them, had scarcely been consummated, when the King over 
 whom we had been triumphant, began an invasion of our rights and 
 property, which has almost uninterruptedly been continued, and 
 yearly aggravated in kind and in degree. Kemonstrance has followed 
 remonstrance, but they "have been only answered by repeated in- 
 jury " and new outrage. Their promises, their written engagements, 
 their plighted faith have all been wantonly violated. These wrongs 
 have been so long endured that our motives have been mistaken, 
 and our national character misrepresented. Our forbearance has 
 been called cowardice. Our love of peace a slavish fear to encounter 
 the dangers of war. We know that these representations have no 
 foundation in truth; but it is time that our enemies, that our 
 friends, that the world should know we are not degenerated sons of 
 gallant sires. 
 
 For nearly thirty years, we have been at peace with all the nations 
 of the earth. The gales of prosperity and the full tide of hapinness 
 have borne us along; while the storm of war has been desolating 
 the greater part of the civilized world, and inundated it with the 
 bitter waters of affliction. All the means, which wisdom and pa- 
 triotism could devise, have been in vain resorted to, in the hope of 
 preserving peace. The cup of patience, of humiliation and long suf- 
 ifering has been filled to overflowing; and the indignant arm of an 
 injured people must be raised to dash it to tlie earth, and grasp the 
 avenging sword. 
 
532 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 Ill the cultivation of the earth, and in manufacturing and trans- 
 porting its products, tlie people of tiie United States have been hon- 
 estly, usefully, and harmlessly employed, and for many years have 
 we been feeding the nation whose navy "has plundered our seas, 
 ravaged our coasts, and destroyed the lives of our people," our 
 ability and disposition to serve tliem has wlietted their commercial 
 jealousy and monopolizing animosity. It is our property that has 
 been plundered — it is our rights that have been invaded— it is the 
 persons of our friends, relatives, and countrymen, that have been 
 " taken captive on the high seas," and constrained " to bear arms 
 against their country : to become the executioners of their friends 
 and brethren, or fall, themselves, by their hands." It Is our flag 
 that has been bathed in our waters— made red with the blood of our 
 fellow-citizens. Every gale from the ocean wafts to our ears the 
 sighs— the groans of our impressed seamen, demanding retribution. 
 It is our homes and firesides that have been invaded by the "merci- 
 less Indian savages," who have been instigated to pollute our sacred 
 soil with hostile feet, and tomahawk our citizens reposing in peace 
 in the bosom of our country. The seeds of discord have been sown 
 amongst our people by an accredited 8py of the British government, 
 at a time, too, when the relations of peace and amity were subsist- 
 ing between our own and that government, founded on reiterated 
 assurances from them of national esteem and friendship. If ever 
 a nation had justifiable cause of war, that nation is the United 
 States. If ever a people had motives to fight, we are that people. 
 Our government, the watchful guardians of our welfare, have 
 sounded the alarm— they have called upon us to gird on our swords 
 and be ready to go forth and meet our enemies. Let us hasten to 
 obey the government of our choice, and rally around the consti- 
 tuted authorities of the Union. Let an honorable zeal glow in our 
 bosoms as we eagerly i)ress forward to render our services. It would 
 give the Governor inexpressible satisfaction if Pennsylvania would 
 volunteer her quota. May each State animate the others, and every 
 citizen act as if the public weal, the national honor, and independ- 
 ence, rested on his single arm. The example of the Heroes and 
 Statesmen of our revolution, and the rich inheritance their courage 
 and wisdom achieved, cannot fail to urge all who love their coun- 
 try, to flock around her standard. Upborne by the right hands of 
 freemen, planted in the sacred soil their valor won, and consecrated 
 by a righteous cause, this nation may well go forth " with a firm 
 reliance on the protection of Divine Providence," and a conscious 
 belief that the arm of the Lord of Hosts, the strength of the mighty 
 one of Israel, will be on our side. 
 
 The last api)eal being now to be made by an injured and indignant 
 nation, it remains for the militia and volunteers of Pennsylvania, 
 by a prompt cooperation with her sister tates, to render efficient

 the measures which are or may hereafter be adopted by the United 
 States Government. 
 
 The Adjutant General is charged with the necessary organization 
 of tlie quota of the State comformably to the following plan : 
 
 1st. There shall forthwith be drafted, in the manner prescribed 
 hy law, 14,000 militia officers and privates, to be formed into two 
 divisions, four brigades, and twenty-two regiments. The offer 
 of service to the Governor of any tlank company or companies 
 attached to any regiment, of a number equal to the number of mil- 
 itia required to be drafted from such regiment, may be accepted in 
 substitution of such draft from the regiment. 
 
 The corps of Artillery, Cavalry, Riflemen, and Infantry shall be 
 in the following general proportions, as nearly as practicable : 
 
 Artillery, 700 Riflemen, 1,400 
 
 Cavalry, 700 Infantry, 11,200 
 
 2nd. The whole quota required shall be apportioned among the 
 several divisions of the State, agreeably to a detail to be furnished 
 by the Adjutant General. 
 
 Tlie quotas of tlie several divisions of the State shall be formed 
 into two divisions for tlie present service. 
 
 The quotas of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and 
 seventh divisions of the State, shall form the first division for service, 
 under the command of Major General Isaac "Worrell, a Brigadier 
 General from tlie first division and a Brigadier General from the 
 third division of the State. 
 
 The quotas of the eightli, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thir- 
 teenth, fourteenth, fifteentii, and sixteenth divisions of the State 
 shall form the second division for service, under the command of 
 Major General Adamson Tannehill, witli a Brigadier General from 
 the second division and a Brigadier General from the fourth divi- 
 sion of the State. 
 
 3rd. The men shall be mustered and inspected as soon as the drafts 
 are made, and without delay returns shall be made to the Adjutant 
 General, who shall thereupon transmit copies to the Secretary at 
 War. 
 
 When the organization of the detachment shall be effected the 
 respective corps will be exercised under the officers set over them — 
 Drafted militia, by their proper officers ; volunteers, as prescribed 
 by law. The corps (either of drafted militia or of volunteers) will 
 not remain embodied, nor be considered as in actual service, until 
 by subsequent orders, tliey are directed to take the field.

 hundred in three weeks' time ; we are ready to march at a moment's 
 warning, witli the exception of arms, those we have at present be- 
 long to the Fiftieth regiment, and we are attached to the Twenty- 
 fourth regiment, and are compelled to give them up to the Fiftieth 
 regiment. I applied to the Twenty-fourth regiment and I cannot 
 get any from that quarter ; indeed the arms we have at present are 
 not fit for service. I, therefore, hope your Excellency will consider 
 our situation, and furnish us with arms.

 Lancaster, 25th May, 1812. 
 
 IJis Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief : 
 
 Sir : During the long space of time wlierein other nations, un- 
 der tlie scourge of ambitious and profligate i)rinces, have been the 
 victims of destructive wars, our favored country, by a judicious 
 l)olicy, has been sustained in the almost undisturbed enjoyment of 
 happy peace. But in this singular age of revolutions, the convulsed 
 state of the world at length threatens to involve our peaceful re- 
 gions in the general vortex ; and the hostile encroachments on our 
 sovereignty by nations aiTogantly presuming power, and unmind- 
 ful of right, as well as past events yet too recent to have been for- 
 gotten, has rendered it necessary that the republic be placed into an 
 attitude to support its dignity and maintain its independence. 
 
 To contribute to this end the Lancaster Plialanx, commanded by 
 (Captain James Humes, under the impulse that led their ancestors 
 of glorious memory into an arduous and then almost hopeless con- 
 test have this day unanimously resolved on a voluntary tender of 
 their service to their country. 
 
 AVe, the undersigned, having been appointed a committee for the 
 purpose, hereby, in the name and on behalf of the said corps, with 
 pleasure tender their services to the Governor, as part of the quota 
 to be detached from this Commonwealth, and as such are prepared 
 to march, completely armed and equipped, at the required notice. 
 
 Felicitating the Commander-inChief on the patriotic ardor that 
 pervades our country at this eventful crisis, we remain, 
 Your Excellency's most obedient,

 LoTV^ER Nazareth Township, June 2, 1812. 
 To His Excellency, Simon Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : I have the honor to inform you that the troop of Cavalry under 
 my command have unanimously agreed to tender to you their ser- 
 vices, as a part of the quota of the Seventy-first regiment required 
 by General Orders lately issued. When our country is insulted by 
 foreign nations, when our citizens are murdered in our own waters 
 by the British, when our fellow-citizens are taken captive on the 
 high seas, and compelled to bear arms against their country, to be- 
 come the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall them- 
 selves by their hands, and when internal enemies threaten a disolu- 
 tion of our happy Union, it is time for those who care their country 
 and who are ready to die in its defense to be up and doing. Under 
 this conviction, sir, the troop I have the honor to command, alive 
 to the interest and honor of their country, and convinced of the 
 wrongs, the injustice, and the accumulated insults heaped upon us 
 by the British government, have determined to offer to their coun- 
 try their services and their lives, if required, in defense of its violated 
 rights. I have in charge from them to state to you, sir, that we 
 will be ready, at a moment's warning, to go on any service our 
 country may call us, to defend and preserve those rights and liber- 
 ties which were secured to us by the heroes of '76. We have at 
 present forty-eight men in the troop, and, if I am not very much 
 mistaken— indeed, each man will glory in an opportunity of defend- 
 ing their country against the wrongs and injuries heaped upon us 
 by foreign nations, particularly the piratical nation of Great Britain, 
 whose officers have basely and treacherously murdered our citizens 
 in our own waters, and whose agents use the scalping-knife and 
 tomahawk against our innocent and helpless citizens on our fron- 
 tiers. 
 
 I have the honor to be, sir, with much respect, your obedient 
 servant.

 14,000 men required to be furnished by this State, agreeably to the 
 orders of tlie President of the United States. 
 
 At this eventful crisis of our national affairs, they conceive it 
 to be their duty as citizens of the only free government in the 
 world, and as supporters of the present administration, to step forth 
 with their mite in defense of those sacred rights, for which their 
 forefathers fought, bled, and died ; that should occasion require, 
 they may have an apportunity of proving in the field, that they are 
 not the degenerate sons of gallant sires. 
 
 The muster-roll enclosed, contains the names of sucli as could, 
 at a very short notice, be procured to sign, and in the course of a 
 few days, I have no doubt, it might be signed by the whole corps, 
 amounting to fifty-three, officers included.

 Lieut. Col. John S^nith to Gov. Snyder. 
 Sir : It is with great pleasure I have to announce to you the vol- 
 untary tender of service of the First regiment of Pennsylvania cav- 
 alry, whose wish it is to be considered as part of the quota of Penn- 
 sylvania, under the requisition authorized by the President of the 
 United States. What makes the offer peculiarly patriotic, is the 
 conllicting political opinions entertained by those corps who com- j|[' 
 pose tiie regiment cordially uniting in supporting the honor and 
 rights of our common country. 
 
 The resolution , wliich I have the honor to enclose to the Governor, 
 exhibits the solicitude of the regiment not to be disunited or subject 
 to a draft, but, if it is his pleasure not to accept of the offer of the 
 entire regiment, that, in that case, the requisite number wanted be 
 supplied by troops under the command of their respective officers. 
 I am, sir, with sentiments of high consideration and respect. 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 JNO. SMITH, 
 Lieutenant Colonel Commandant. 
 
 At a meeting of the First regiment of cavalry, convened at the 
 house of Mr. Rubican, June 2, 1812, the following resolution was 
 unanimously adopted : 
 
 liesolved, That this regiment offer its services to the Commander- 
 in-Chief of the militia of Pennsylvania, to be called into the field 
 either in a body or by troops in substitution of a draft from the 
 regiment ; and that the commandant be requested to transmit to 
 the Governor a copy of this resolution. 
 
 PniLADELPUiA, June 3, 1812. 
 
 N. B. Boileau to Col. John Smith. 
 
 Harrisburg, July 9th, 1812, 
 Sir : I have to inform you that the tender of service made to the 
 Governor by the First regiment of the Pennsylvania cavalry, under 
 date of the 10th of June, has been duly received and appreciated. 
 Tlie reason why yours of the 24th of June was not sooner acknowl- 
 edged, was on account of the Governor's and my absence from the 
 seat of government. 
 The first tender of service made to the Governor was from the 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 545 
 
 volunteer company at this place, and immediately after the issuing 
 the Governor's general orders, in that case the Governor thought it 
 proper to return them a special answer. 
 
 You can easily perceive the inconvenience of giving a particular 
 answer to every volunteer company that might tender their service. 
 It would occupy more of the Governor's time and attention than could 
 be spared from his various and arduous official duties. The subject 
 also would have been so completely exhausted as to render it almost 
 impossible to have avoided a repetition of the same sentiments and 
 ideas. The Governor, therefore, instructed tlie Adjutant General 
 to write a circular to the different brigade inspectors requesting 
 the tender services should be made a general return to him of tlie 
 volunteers who had tendered their services, he would then notice 
 their patriotism in a suitable manner. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 Capt. William Mitchell to Gov. Snyder.

 ceived no answer. I directed it to Harrisburg, to your honor. It 
 contains the offered services of the Independent Blues, of which 
 I have the honor to command. I hope, sir, you will receive it, and 
 answer it as soon as most convenient. We have formed the Phila- 
 delphia Militia Legion, and I hope in a few days we shall have the 
 honor to offer their services, and have our own field officers.

 not knowing whether the Governor was in Harrisburg or not, I 
 thouglit best to forward it in this manner, as it is on public busi- 
 ness. You, therefore, will oblige the legionary board of oflicers by

 Simon Sxyder, Esquire, Sir : 
 
 Agreeably to a resolution of the legionary board of officers, I was 
 requested to obtain information from you concerning the command 
 of the legion, in case they tender their service to you. The officers 
 are of an opinion that they will be commanded by some other col- 
 onel. They well know that they come under the notice of the gen- 
 eral staff, but are not willing to be commanded by any other regi- 
 mental officers but their own. 1 am of an opinion that the legion 
 can tender Lheir service by law as a separate body from the other 
 regiments. I also inclose a copy from our minutes. An answer 
 from you to the above will be thankfully received by, 
 
 Your obedient humble servant, 
 
 LEWIS RUSH. 
 
 Resolved, That Col. Rush be desired to obtain information from 
 the Governor, whether, upon a tender of the services to him of the 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 547 
 
 legion, they will be commanded by their own officers, or placed under 
 a separate command. Upon that inquiry being made, Col. Rush is 
 requested to call a special meeting of the legion.

 To SnroN Snyder, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the army 
 and navy of Pennsylvania : 
 
 The Leliigh Rifle company, composed of more than fifty brave 
 voinig men, under my command, and attached to the Ninty-fourth 
 regiment of Pennsylvania Militia, animated with just sense of in- 
 dignation, on account of the repeated aggressions exercised by Great 
 Britain on our neutral rights, of the impressments of our seamen, 
 and of the murder of our frontier inhabitants, have, with oue voice 
 and one mind, resolved to tender their services, through you, to their 
 country, and that they will be ready to march when ordered on any 
 tour of duty whicli the honor aiid the independence, the safety of 
 our country and constitution may require.

 poor young men, though willing, yet are unable to furnish them- 
 selves with rifles ; an answer will be expected about the rifles.

 Sixtieth Pennsylvania militia, under my command, have offered our 
 services to you through the hands of our inspector ; but as the 
 greater part of the company are not able to furnish themselves 
 with rifles, we pray your Excellency to provide us with about forty, 
 as we have provided ourselves with the uniform, cartouch-box^ 
 scalping-knife, and tomahawk, &c. If the State does not furnish 
 us with these rifles, I do not see how we will be able to perform, and 
 we pray your Excellency to take our state into consideration, and 
 be so kind as to give us an answer as soon as possible. 
 
 Yours, &c.,

 Capt. James Balston to Gov. Snyder. 
 
 Chester County, June 24, 1812. 
 To his Excellency, Simon Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania : 
 At a crisis like the present while wars and rumors of wars are 
 abroad in the earth, and the two great belligerents continue to add. 
 insult to injury, it becomes the sons of Columbia to arouse from 
 their apathy and stand forth in the defence of their country's rights. 
 Rights which have been dearly bought by the blood and treasure 
 of our forefathers. (Although we deprecate war with all its train 
 of concomitant evils) yet we, as a troop or band of brothers, are 
 ready to stand forth in the defence of our country's just rights, 
 and do frankly tender our services as a volunteer corps, to be at your 
 command for the legalized time required by the militia law. 
 With sentiments of due esteem, 
 
 I rest, affectionately yours, &c., 
 
 JAMES RALSTON", 
 Captain, Cavalry.

 Simon Snyder, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : I had the honor of addressing you by letter the 10th instant 
 a copy of which, together with the resolution to which it refers, you 
 have herewith. Not receiving an answer, has induced me to suppose 
 that it has been miscarried. The subject to which it refers being of 
 importance to those concerned as well to the public, must plead my 
 apology for thus troubling you. 
 
 With great respect, I am, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 JOHN SMITH, 
 Lieut. Col. First Megiment, Penw'a Cavalry. 
 
 [Copy] 
 
 Sir : It is with great pleasure I have to announce to you the vol- 
 untary tender of service of the First regiment of Pennsylvania 
 cavalry, whose wish is to be considered as part of the quota of Penn- 
 sylvania under the requisition authorized by the President of the 
 United States. What makes the offer peculiarly patriotic is, the 
 conflicting political opinion entertained by those corps who compose 
 the regiment, cordially uniting in supporting the honor and right 
 of our common country. 
 
 The resolution which I have the honor to inclose to the Governor, 
 exhibits the solicitude of the regiment not to be disunited or subject 
 to a draft. But if it be his pleasure not to accept of the offer of the 
 entire regiment, that, in that case, the requisite number wanted, be 
 supplied by troops under the command of their respective officers. 
 With sentiments of higli consideration and respect, 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 JOHN SMITH, 
 Lieut. Col. Commandant. 
 Philadelphia, June 10, 1812. 
 
 Besolved unanimously, That this regiment offer its services to the 
 Commander-in-Chief of the militia of Pennsylvania, to be called 
 into the field, either in a body or by troops, in substitution of a draft 
 from the regiment, and that the commandant be requested to trans- 
 mit to the Governor a copy of this resolution.

 Le"-ion, which I have the honor at present to command, to commu- 
 nicate to you the following resolutions of the legionary board of 
 otlicers. An answer previous to the 4th of July would be very pleas- 
 ing to the Legion : 
 
 Resolved, That the Legion do make a tender of their service to 
 
 the Governor of this State, as a part of the quota demanded by 
 
 the Pit'sident of the United States from the State of Pennsylvania. 
 
 Resolved, That the commandant be requested to make a tender of

 inst., the several classes of the One Hundred and Tw^enty-third regi- 
 ment of Pennsylvania militia, James Moodie, Lieutenant Colonel,

 brigade orders, in Milton, Northumberland county. That upwards 
 of the number, seventy-nine, have volunteered their services, as

 the wish of the company to march at the first call.

 September 9, 1812. 
 GOVERNOR Snyder: Your Excellency's general orders of tlie 
 oth September instant, I had the honor to receive on the 8th instant, 
 whicli being tlie day the brigade inspector leaves home to commence 
 the march of volunteers from my brigade. Considering myself, 
 under these circumstances, required to act, and by doing my duty, 
 in some cases, would have to perform the duty of brigade inspector. 
 This day,*in Fifty-fifth regiment, I had a conference with the offi- 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 553 
 
 cers of a volunteer Rifle company. Elected and a return made for 
 commissions, they desire to be accepted in substitution of the draft 
 for s"* regiment : Provided, 1st, that their commissions be received 
 by tliem before the march does commence ; 2d, their camp equipage 
 furnished to them before they march or, at furthest, Bedford; Mi 
 that their services may be accepted in the bounds of tlie Union, and 
 not beyond the line, unless by their own consent. Then they de- 
 sire me to communicate and through me wish your Excellency's 
 answer in that day usual for your Excellency to communicate. In 
 the mean time, I have appointed the senior officer, &c., will imme- 
 diately proceed to the next regiment, &c. I doubt not but the 
 quotas will commence their march from their respective regiments 
 22d inst. I humbly request, if consistent with your Excellency's 
 pleasure and arrangements, to be furnished with tents and other 
 field equipage for this detachment, consisting of about one hundred' 
 and twenty officers, included by the time before mentioned, 22d 
 inst., one half at McConnelsburgh, the rest at Bloody Run. Should 
 your Excellency honor me with an answer through your secretary 
 or aid-de-camp, order the same to be left in McConnelsburg post- 
 ofiice, or should the bearer of these wait, and your Excellency favor 
 with an answer by him would come safe to me, whilst I beg leave 
 to subscribe.

 To Samuel Agnew, Captain of the Harrisburg Volwiteers : 
 
 Sir : The prompt offer by the Harrisburg Volunteers to serve as 
 part of the quota of Pennsylvania militia (in substitution of the 
 draft of the regiment to which they are attached) required to be 
 held in readiness for active service, under the order of tlie President 
 of the United States, as contained in General Orders promulgated 
 this morning through the Adjutant General, proves that whenever 
 any foreign power attempts to invade the inestimable rights acquired 
 by the patriotism and valor of the heroes of the Revolution, these 
 men are prepared to defend the sacred trust and glorious inheritance 
 that descends upon them, and that "we are not degenerate sons of 
 
.5.54 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 gallant sires." With high gratification, gentlemen, I accept your 
 offering the first fruit of patriotism. It is, I trust, a happy omen of 
 an abundant harvest throughout the State.

 JOHN GOODMAN TO GOV. SNYDER. 
 
 Philadelphia, June 17, 1812. 
 
 To his Excellency, Simon Snydek, Esq., Governor of the Common- 
 wealth of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sin: Permit me to discharge a duty which I think I owe the 
 State, by making a brief statement of the condition in which the 
 Pennsylvania State Arsenal is found at the present time. 
 
 On a view of the lot, on which the arsenal (so-called) is erected, 
 on Saturday last, I found the western part of the same covered with 
 putrid, stagnant water, of the depth of some inches, the cause of 
 which may be attributed to the raising of the adjoining streets. 
 The lot may, at this time, with propriety, be termed a nuisance, 
 Avhicli, unless speedily removed, must endanger the health of the 
 neighborhood. The public property contained in the arsenal has, 
 also, suffered severely from the water, which hath risen above its 
 floor. Within the space of one year or eighteen months, the State 
 has sustained considerable damages in the perishable articles con- 
 tained in the building, in addition to the damage suffered by the 
 carriages from the continual dampness of the place. By the heavy 
 fall of rain yesterday, I have no doubt the water must have risen 
 considerable. 
 
 Colonel Ferguson, who is the bearer of this letter, will give you 
 further information on this subject. 
 
 I am, Sir, respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, &c., 
 
 JOHN GOODMAN.

 To Board of Health : 
 
 I am attending to the complaint of those residing in Juniper street 
 near Centre square ; but take liberty of representing the arsenal lot 
 of ground as comprising a part of the grievance complained of, three 
 fourths of which is completely inundated. Col. Ferguson will, no 
 doubt, take it into consideration. 
 
 I am, &c., 
 
 JOHN SLATER. 
 
 I expect that the water is considerable above the floor of the can- 
 non-house. 
 
 Js. B. BOILEAU TO ADJUTANT GEN. REED. 
 
 Harrisburg, July 14, 1812. 
 
 Sir : I am instructed by the Governor, to direct you to issue 
 orders immediately to the respective brigade inspectors, to inspect 
 the public arms within the bounds of their brigades, and to have 
 a sufhcient number of them put into complete repair, ready for de- 
 livery to the men drafted, whenever they may be called into actual 
 service. For this purpose the said brigade inspectors shall direct 
 the captains, or commanding officers of companies in the bounds of 
 which the army may be found, to have such of them as may require 
 it, cleaned and put in comi^lete repair. The expense incurred in the 
 aforesaid cleaning and repairs to be paid out of the regimental 
 funds ; but if the funds be inadequate then the accounts for doing 
 the same, with proper vouchers, to be exhibited to the accounting 
 officers of the Commonwealtli, by the proper brigade inspectors. 
 The captains or commanding officers of the companies to be further 
 directed, to make previous specific agreements with the person or 
 persons whom they may employ to perform the above service ; and 
 the said brigade inspectors to be further instructed to make return 
 to you, of any deficiency of arms in their brigades to supply the present 
 draft ; a copy of which you will transmit to the Governor witti the 
 least possible delay. 
 
 Very respectfully. &c.,

 To AViM.iAM Clakk, Esq. : 
 
 Actual hostilities having been commenced by the forces of the 
 Kinfj of Great Britain, on the waters of Lake Erie, within the juris- 
 diction of tlie United States, and an invasion of the territories of 
 this State threatened, I order and direct you, the said William 
 Clark, forthwith to have in readiness for field duty two classes of 
 your brigade of militia not already drafted under the requisition of 
 the President of the United States, in the manner and order pres- 
 cribed by law. And that you order, from time to time, such portion 
 of those classes, (or of flanl, or other companies as may volunteer 
 their services in substitution) as may be deemed sufficient by Brig. 
 Gen. .Tohn Kelso, to guard and protect the inhabitants, to repair 
 without delay to the most suitable place of rendezvous, to be at the 
 furtlier disposition of the said Brig. Gen. Kelso ; which detachment 
 or detachments, at the station or stations to which they may be or- 
 dered sliall be under the immediate command of such officer or officers 
 as'is directed by the twenty-fifth section of the Act of Assembly of 
 April 9, 1807. And you are further authorized and directed to have 
 purchased for the use of the troops on service, any quantity of pow- 
 der not exceeding one thousand pounds' weight, together with a suf- 
 ficient quantity of lead for ball. The amount wliereof witli other 
 expenses incident to the service, to be paid at this place on produc-

 Harrisburg, July 16, 1812. 
 Sir : Yours of the 8th instant has been received, but the letter 
 to which you allude containing an affidavit has not come to hand. 
 I am instructed by the Governor to state to you, that if the fact be 
 true that Moses Kilpatrick be an alien, he is under a legal disability 
 to hold a commission in the militia. You will, tlierefore, withhold 
 his commission until you have further instructions from tlie Gov- 
 ernor, and, in the meantime, forward a copy of the affidavit you have 
 mentioned, and any other information you may obtain, the Gov- 
 ernor will then direct what proceedings are to be had.

 Harrisburg, July 16, 1812. 
 
 Sir : In answer to yours of the * to the Governor, I have 
 
 to state that the Governor feels every disposition to place the military 
 establishment of the State, both as it regards discipline and arms, 
 in as respectable a situatiori as is within the limits of his legal power. 
 On perusing the eleventh section of the supplement to the militia 
 law, passed 26th March, 1808, there appears to be power given to 
 him, at least incidentally, to direct, if necessary, the repairs of the 
 arsenal carriages, &c. Previously, however, to his giving such di- 
 rections, it appears proper for him to ascertain what repairs are 
 necessary, and a probable estimate of the expense of such repairs, 
 and whether tbe fund appropriated for that purpose is adequate to 
 the object. In the section above alluded to, it is directed that the 
 expenses of such repairs shall be paid by the county treasurer out 
 of the exempt flues. The Governor wishes information on the 
 above points before he gives any order on the subject. 
 
 "Very respectfully, &c., 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 P. S. Your letter, no doubt, was written with the knowledge of 
 the commanding officers of the regiment of artillery. You, of course, 
 will shew them the above. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO P. FARKELLY. 
 
 Harrisburg, July 20, 1812. 
 P. Farrelly, Esq., Meadville: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 8th instant was received by this day's mail. I 
 have laid it, together with your resolutions relative to quieting dis- 
 trusts which may exist among the Indians on the Allegheny, before 
 the Governor. He approves the measures you have taken with re- 
 gard to arms and ammunition. I have to state to you that your 
 wishes have been, in some degree at least, anticipated. In conse- 
 quence of a representation made to the Governor by General Kelso, 
 he has ordered a portion of the militia of the First brigade, Six- 
 teenth division, into actual service, to be stationed at such points as 
 
 * The letter was mislaid and the date not recollected. 
 
558 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 General Kelso shall deem most expedient. We are also now en- 
 gaged in packing up in boxes 500 muskets, together with 200 pounds 
 of lead, 5,(t00 Hints and six kegs of powder. That being all the am- 
 munition that could be procured at this place. The Governor has 
 also directed Mr. Clark, the Brigade Inspector, to procure a further 
 supply of those articles wherever they can most conveniently be had. 
 The muskets, &c., above mentioned, I expect will leave this place, 
 for Erie, to-morrow. Cartridge boxes also would have been sent 
 had there been any belonging to the State, or could they have been 
 procured. You must endeavor to accommodate yourselves as well 
 as you can, by substituting pouches instead of boxes until provision 
 is made to supply you otherwise. It is much to be regretted that 
 the Legislature did not put it into the power of the Governor to 
 place the State in a more defensible situation.

 Sir: Mr. Henry, of Nazareth, manufactured a number of mus- 
 kets for the use of the Commonwealth, a part of which is still in 
 his possession. The Governor directs you to open a box or two of 
 them, and examine in what state they are ; also, how many boxes 
 there are, and the number in each box, and whether there are any 
 that are not in boxes, and if there are, their number and situation. 
 And tliat you will, as early as possible, make report of the result of 
 your examination to the Governor or to me. The present situation 
 of our country is such as to render a prompt attention to the above 
 subject necessary.

 P. A. Browne, Esq., Philadelphia: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 13th instant was received this morning. I 
 have to regret that I cannot comply with your request, without a 
 departure from the established usage of the office, which is never to 
 suffer a certificate to go out of the office without attaching it our- 
 selves, by means of the seal itself, to the paper or document it is 
 designed to authenticate. The keeping of the Great Seal is confided 
 to me, and I am responsible for the application of it, and cannot 
 transfer that responsibility to another person. I wish to be clearly 
 understood as not having the smallest apprehension that you would 
 use the certificate improperly ; but you will easily perceive the in- 
 conveniences that might result, were I to deviate in a single in- 
 stance from the established usage. I will only add that it appears 
 to me necessary, to give authority to the document, it ought to bear 
 the mark of the seal itself, or that the certificate itself should mani- 
 festly appear to have been attached to the document by means of 
 the Great Seal.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO WILLIAM CLARK. 
 
 Harrisburg, July 23, 1812. 
 William Clark, Esq., Brigade Inspector^ Meadville : 
 
 Sir : Agreeably to the orders of the Governor, three wagons this 
 day left Harrisburg for Meadville, containing 32 boxes of muskets. 
 The lighter boxes containing 12 muskets each, with their locks on, 
 the heavier 24, with the locks taken off, lapp'd in paper and num- 
 bered. The muskets have a corresponding number marked near 
 the screw plate. The whole number, 504. In the different boxes is 
 distributed 200 pounds of lead. Those boxes are marked. In one 
 box there are 1000 flints, which box is also marked. There are also 
 two small boxes, containing three kegs of powder each, amounting 
 in the whole to 150 pounds. The best muskets were selected. 
 They are rusty and want cleaning and oiling, which would have 
 been done here, but the Governor was apprehensive it would have 
 occasioned too much delay. It will occupy but a short time for 
 
560 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 eacli mini to clean his own musket. In the distribution of them, 
 you will be governed by the law and your own sound discretion^, 
 aided by tiie general and other field officers of the division or brig' 
 ade. Knowing the time of the wagons leaving this place you 
 will be able to calculate nearly the time of their arrival at Mead- 
 ville. It would, therefore, be desirable that you should be there to 
 receive them, and to give a receii)t to the wagoners for the safe de- 
 livery of the muskets and other articles above mentioned. 
 
 Very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 P. S. It is suggested for your consideration, whether Waterford 
 being on the turnpike and the head of the navigation of French 
 creek, would not be a proper place of deposit for the arms. 
 
 N. B. A letter of similar import to the above, was sent by the 
 wagon. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO GE^. WILLIAM REED. 
 
 Habrisburg, August 18, 1812. 
 Gen. William Reed : 
 
 Sir : By this morning's mail I received a letter from the Gov- 
 ernor. The following extracts from his letter will explain his views 
 relative to the enquiries submitted to him : " I am of opinion that 
 the Adjutant General, in his return to the Secretary at War, need 
 not make a specific or detailed account of deficiencies of arms and 
 other military equipments of the drafted militia and volunteers, he 
 may say— That some deficiences appear to exist, but that they would, 
 as promptly as possible, be supplied." Again, with regard to the 
 Brigadier Generals, he writes : " If I am to designate the Brigadier 
 Generals that are to serve under the Major Generals Worrall and 
 Tannehill, the rule that obtains generally must prevail in this case. 
 I, tiierefore, designate the oldest brigadiei-s In each of the two divi- 
 sions mentioned in general orders of May last." It appeared on 
 examining our military book, when you were here, that William 
 Duncan was the oldest Brigadier in the First division, and William 
 Harris, of the Third division; Samuel Smith, of the Second divi- 
 sion, and Jacob Hilghman, of the Fourth division. Those, there- 
 fore, I suppose, are to be the Generals. You will report them ac- 
 cordingly, and perhaps it would be proper for you to give them 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 561 
 
 notice. It would be desirable that you should, as early as possible, 
 make your return to the Secretary at War. 
 Very respectfully,

 Col. Ebenezer Ferguson : 
 
 Sir: By a letter received from you some time since; it appears 
 that the artillery in the city is in a bad situation, particularly as 
 it regards their exposure to the weather. I wish to be informed 
 what would be the probable expense of erecting a temporary build- 
 ing to secure them from the injury of the weather, and if a site for 
 such building could not be procured without much difficulty. I 
 wish, also, to be informed whether or not there are some apartments 
 in the State house unoccupied, in which, for the present, the neces- 
 sary apparatus for the artillery could be deposited. I have one fur- 
 ther enquiry to make, that is, whether each company of artillery has 
 not one piece fit for actual service, in case of necessity ; if not, the 
 probable expense of putting such a number in a situation for actual 
 use. I expect the Governor here to-morrow, and, therefore, request 
 your answer as early as convenient, that I may submit the same to 
 his consideration.

 Harrisburg, August 25, 1812. 
 The President of the United States having, through the Secretary 
 at War, and General Dearborn, under date, respectively, of the 13tli 
 inst., required a detachment of 2,000 militia to be marched, with 
 the least possible delay, from the north-western parts of Pennsylva- 
 nia to Buffalo, in the State of New York, duty and feeling direct 
 a prompt compliance with a requisition, giving scope for action to 
 the patriotism evinced by that portion of our citizen soldiers who

r^y2 WAR OF 1812-14, 
 
 liave volunteered their services, under general orders of 12th May 
 last in substitution of the draft lequired of the State. To obey this 
 call! in defence of rights sacred to freemen, to avenge the injuries 
 of t'lie nation, and defend the cause of suffering humanity, the vol- 
 unteers of Pennsylvania will not hesitate a moment to meet the 
 avowed enemy of those rights, not only within the bounds of the 
 United States, but will, without those limits, with ardor seek, and 
 with the determination characteristic of freemen, punish the un- 
 l>rovoked invaders of our rights and property. The Governor with 
 pleasure embraces the present occasion to perpetuate the honorable 
 fame ac(iuired by those gallant sons of Pennsylvania who volun- 
 teered their services, by naming the commandants of those patri- 
 otic corps and companies, and the division and brigade to which 
 they severally belong :

 For obvious reasons the adjutant general has orders to designate 
 for service, such of the volunteers as can, with the least possible 
 delay be marched to the scene of action ; and is charged with the 
 organization of the detachment of 2,000 men, conformably to the 
 following plan : The detachment to constitute a brigade, to con. 
 sist of four regiments, and each regiment to consist of two bat- 
 talions, to be arranged byjthe Adjutant General at the place of ren- 
 dezvous. 
 
 The general rendezvous will be at Meadville, to which place the 
 volunteers, composing the detachment, will march with the requi- 
 site expedition, so that they be there on the 25th day of September 
 next. By the twenty-sixth section of the general militia law, 
 among other services by them to be performed, it is made the duty 
 
564 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 of tlie liiigade inspectors to march each with his proper detachment 
 to tlie place of rendezvous. 
 
 Tliese officers are severally required and directed to provide sub- 
 sistence, and otlier necessary accommodation for the troops on tlieir 
 marcl), and exhibit detailed accounts for settlement and payment, 
 to the accountant officers of the Commonwealth. 
 
 Apprised of the generally prevailing desire that those appointed 
 to command may be tlie choice of the commanded, the Governor, 
 agreeably to the tenth section of a supplement to the militia law, 
 passed 26th March, 1808, and the twenty-seventh section of the gen- 
 eral militia law, authorizes and directs the officers and privates of 
 the detachment, on the day succeeding the 25th day of September 
 next, or those who shall have arrived to elect agreeably to the rules 
 prescribed by the militia law, one brigadier general ; each regiment 
 to elect a colonel commandant; each battalion, one major. The 
 brigadier general to appoint his own brigade major. The field offi- 
 cers of each regiment shall appoint their respective regimental staffs. 
 To expedite the expedition in discharge of his duty, the Adjutant 
 General will attend and deliver to the officers elect their commis- 
 
 sioiis.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO DANIEL SHARP. 
 
 Harrisburg, August 24, 1812. 
 Daniel Sharp, Esq. : 
 
 SiH : By your letter of the 4th, to Gen. Reed, now before me, it 
 appears you entertain some doubts whether or not the tender of ser- 
 vice made by the Philadelphia legion would be accepted by the Gov- 
 ernor. 
 
 The first tender of service made under date of June 9, 1812, was 
 connected with a condition that the legion should be under the com- 
 mand of their own ofiicers. It was not in the power of the Gov- 
 ernor to say that this should always be the case when in actual ser- 
 vice, as exigencies miglit arise in which the Commander-in-Chief of 
 the army or detachment to which the legion might be attached, 
 might deem it necessary to make a different arrangement. But the 
 second tender, made under date of June 27, 1812, being without any 
 such condition annexed, it was thought that a special answer of 
 acceptance from the Governor was superseded by the general orders. 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 565 
 
 in which it was expressed explicitly that such tender would be ac- 
 cepted. 
 
 Gen. Reed is now at the seat of government, and will remain here 
 a few days, during which time an opportunity will be afforded to 
 you for forwarding your returns to liim with more dispatch than to 
 Millerstown, bis usual place of residence. 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 William Linnard, Esq., Department Quarter- Master General: 
 
 Sir : Your letter of — inst. has been received by the Governor, 
 and I have to inform you that the Governor has issued general 
 orders for 2,409 volunteer militia, to rendezvous at Meadville, on the 
 25th day of September next. You will, therefore, please to give in- 
 structions to the proper officer at Pittsburgh, to furnish the neces. 
 sary articles for the use of the troops assembled at that place at the 
 time appointed, to insure the number of 2,000. The Governor has 
 ordered 2,409 to march. It would, therefore, be expedient to direct 
 supplies for the larger number. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU. 
 P. S. If it is not your province to direct camp kettles to be sup- 
 plied, please to intimate to C. Irwin, Esq., superintendent military 
 stores, to direct them to be furnished.

 To Calender Irvine, Superintendeyit Military Stores : 
 
 Sir : Your letter of the 17th instant has been received by the 
 Governor, who lias issued general orders for 2409 volunteer militia, 
 to rendezvous at Meadville, on the 25tb day |of September next . 
 You will, therefore, please to intrust the proper officers to forward 
 
566 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 to that place a sufficient number of tents, kettles, and other camp 
 equipage necessary for the detachment above mentioned, so as to 
 be ready at the time ai)pointpd for assembling the troops at Mead- 
 ville. There will be in the detachment 1 brigadier, 4 colonels, 8 
 majors, 46 captains. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 P. S. General Reed will be at Meadville to receipt for the articles 
 delivered. To ensure the number of 2,000 the Governor has ordered 
 out the humber of 2,409. It might be prudent to supply for the 
 larger number.

 Lieut. Johnson, Assistant Quarter-Master^ Pittsburgh. 
 
 Sir : I herewith enclose to you a copy of a letter from Calender 
 Irvine (superintendent of military stores) to the Governor, and 
 have to inform you that the Governor has issued general orders for 
 2,409 volunteer militia to assemble at Meadville, on the 25th day 
 of September next. I have deemed it expedient to give you the 
 earliest information of the above circumstances, that you may make 
 the necessary arrangements, with the least possible delay, to exfecute 
 the orders you may receive from Mr. Irvine, whom I have written 
 to on the subject. I hope, however, on perusing the enclosed, 
 you will feel justified in proceeding to forward tents to Meadville, 
 without waiting for any further instructions, to prevent serious 
 inconveniencies that might result, in case the instructions from 
 Mr. Irvine might, by some unforeseen delay, not reach you in time. 
 Very respectfully.

 INTENDENT MILITARY STORES. 
 
 Harrisburg, Secretary's Office, August 26, 1812. 
 Sir : By the last mail I wrote a letter to you, inclosing a letter from 
 Calender Irvine, Esq., superintendent of military stores, in which 
 he states that he is directed to furnish tents and other camp equip- 
 age for a detachment of 2,000 militia, ordered into service from this 
 State. Tlie Governor issued general orders for that purpose yester- 
 day, directing the troops to assemble at Meadville on the 25th of 
 September next. I deemed it expedient to write to you again on the 
 subject, (lest the former letter might have miscarried,) by an express 
 who carries out the general orders, to give you an early intimation 
 of the circumstance, that you might have an opportunity of making 
 arrangements to carry promptly into effect any directions you might 
 receive from the superintendent of military stores, to whom I have 
 written on the subject. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 GOY. SNYDER TO THE BRIGADE INSPECTORS. 
 
 Sir : You will immediately, on the receipt of the General Orders, 
 communicate them to the captains or commanding officers of the 
 volunteer companies within the bounds of your brigade, viz : [This 
 blank was filled with the names of the commanding officers of the 
 companies in the respective brigades,] and give every aid in your 
 power to have the companies marched as expeditiously as possible 
 to the place of rendezvous (Meadville) mentioned in General Orders. 
 The troops will be supplied with rations, tents, and other camp 
 equipage, by the United States. Should there be any deficiency of 
 arms in any of the volunteer companies, you will supply them out 
 of any that may be in the bounds of your brigade. If there cannot 
 be a sufficient number found in that way, they will be furnished at 
 the place of rendezvous. Every man will take care to supply him- 
 self with a blanket and knapsack. It is confidently expected that 
 the patriotism of the volunteers is too sincere and ardent to permit 
 them to make any objections to crossing the boundary line of the 
 United States; otherwise they will render no service to their 
 country. 
 
 By order of the Governor.

 Secretary's Office, Harrisburg, August 26, 1812. 
 Sir : I wrote to you by the last mail, enclosing a copy of a letter 
 from Gen. Dearborn to Mr. Linnard, dei)uty quarter-master general, 
 in wliich he is directed to make arrangements for supplying a de- 
 tachment of 2,000 militia, of this State, with rations, &c., until they 
 rcacli Buffalo; as that letter might possibly be miscarried, I have 
 thouglit it advisable to write you by the express who carries the 
 General Orders of the Governor, issued yesterday, which directs the 
 said detachment to rendezvous at Meadville on the 25th of Septem- 
 ber next ; I hope, therefore, that you will make the necessary ar- 
 rangements for supplying the troops with rations at Meadville, and 
 from thence to Buffalo. I have written to Mr. Linnard on the sub- 
 ject, from whom I expect you will shortly receive more particular 
 
 instructions.

 To William Reed, Esq., Adjutant General of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : You are ordered to attend at Meadville, the rendezvous for 
 2,000 vohmteers of this State, ordered into service on the north- 
 western frontier of this Commonwealth, under a requisition of the 
 proper authority. You will, accordingly, with the least possible 
 delay, repair to the said rendezvous, and take command of the de- 
 tachment. The citizen soldiers whereof, officers and privates, as 
 they shall, from day to day, arrive, are commanded strictly to obey 
 and execute all that you shall lawfully order and direct, until a 
 Brigadier General and other officers for said detachment shall have 
 been el(!cted and commissioned, agreeably to the general orders of 
 yesterday. The said Brigadier General having taken the command, 
 is ordered and commanded, with the least possible delay, to march 
 the brigade under his command to Niagara, and on his arrival, im- 
 mediately report himself to the Commanding General of the troops 
 at that place.

 GOV. SNYDER TO GEN. HENRY DEARBORN. 
 
 Harrisburg, 2Qth Aitgust, 1812. 
 
 To Gen. Henry Dearborn, Commanding the Armtj of the United 
 States, Oreenbush, near Albany, in the State of New York: 
 
 Sir : Your request, under authority of the President, of the 13th 
 instant, which I received by express from this place, at Selins' Grove, 
 on the 21st, that I would order out 2,000 of the north-western mil- 
 itia of Pennsylvania, is complied with, as you will perceive by a 
 copy of the General Orders, under date of yesterday, which I have 
 the honor to inclose. I take the liberty to inclose also a copy of a 
 letter to me, on the same subject, from the Secretary at War, be- 
 cause of the variance between the two requisitions. You make the 
 request under the act of February 28, 1795, under which the militia 
 cannot be longer retained in service than three months. The act of 
 10th April, 1812, authorizes the retention of militia in service six 
 months. The Secretary at War directs that the detachment shall 
 consist of the proportions recognized in the order of A pril 15. Your 
 letter says : " There will be no use for cavalry nor any artillery, un- 
 less supplied with field pieces and apparatus complete." On this 
 subject I have, by letter of this day, said to the Secretary at War, 
 that under the belief, the object of both was to have detached for 
 the service the most efficient force, the General Orders are for vol- 
 unteer infantry and riflemen. They are of the military of Pennsyl- 
 vania the best equipped and the best disciplined, and, in my opinion, 
 the most efflcienffor the service. The number of riflemen is 1,380, 
 of infantry 962, giving a surplus equal to any probable deficiency. 
 I have the honor to be, sir. 
 
 Your most obedient sei'vant,

 Harrisburg, August 29, 18l2. 
 
 Sir : Y^ours of the 26th I received this morning, which I sub- 
 mitted to the Governor, and am instructed to request you to have, 
 with as little delay as possible, nine pieces of artillery put in com- 
 plete repair, provided that you can get it done, so as that the whole 
 expense does not exceed fifty dollars for each piece. Y^'our estimate 
 of expense, exclusive of boring, is thirty dollars. On examining 
 
r-o WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 the accounts of Mr. Goodman, for boring one of the pieces, as stated 
 in the Auditor General's office, is found to be twenty dollars. With 
 rt'pard to an arsenal for keeping the cannon, it would appear to me 
 that it must remain with the Legislature to direct, if there are no 
 apartments in the State House which could be occupied for that 
 purpose. I should suppose if the guns were dismounted, and the 
 caniages taken apart, one chamber in the court-house would hold 
 
 them.

 GOV. SXYDER TO WILLIAM EUSTIS, SECRETARY OF 
 
 WAR. 
 
 Harrisburg, August 26, 1812. 
 
 To Hon. William Eustis, Secretary at War, at the city of Wash- 
 ington : 
 Sir : Yours, under date of the 13th inst., reached me at Selins 
 Grove, the place of ray residence, on the 21st, by express from Har- 
 risburg. On Sunday evening, the 23d, I arrived at this place, and yes- 
 terday general orders were issued, directing 2000 volunteers militia 
 to marcii and rendezvous at Meadville, in the north-western part of 
 this State, a copy of which order I have the honor herewith to en- 
 close. I also enclose a copy of a letter to me from Gen. Dearborn 
 of the same date and on the same subject. I do this because of the 
 variation between your letter and the General's. The former re- 
 quiring a detachment of military, under the act April 10, 1812, in 
 the proportion recognized in the order of April 15th, mider which 
 act the military may be retained in service six months. The latter 
 makes the recpiisition under the act of Congress of March 28, 1795. 
 Under this last act the militia cannot be longer retained in service 
 than three months. The General further says, there would be no 
 use for cavalry nor artillery unless supplied with field pieces and 
 apparatus complete. Under the belief the object of both was to 
 have detached for tlie service the most efficient force, the general 
 orders are for volunteer infantry and riflemen. They are of the mi- 
 litia of Pennsylvania, the best equipped, the best disciplined, and, 
 in my opinion, the most efficient for the service. The number of 
 riflemen is 1.380, of infantry 962, giving a surplus equal to any 
 probable deficiency. The only artillery in a situation to be efficient 
 is at Philadelphia, a point to.remote fi'om the>cene of action. If, 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 573 
 
 however, the President should deem it necessary to order out a por- 
 tion of artillery, upon intimation to me, it will be promptly attended 
 to. 
 
 With sentiments of high consideration, 
 
 I am, sir, your most obedient servant, 
 
 SIMOX SXTDER. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO ROBERT SMITH. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 1, 1812. 
 
 Robert Smith, Inspector First Brigade, N'hitli Division, Pennsyl- 
 vania Militia : 
 
 Sir : Your letter of the 31st ult., to the Governor, has been re- 
 ceived. It was confidently presumed that all those volunteer com- 
 panies which had tendered their services to the Governor, were 
 completely uniformed, armed, and equipped for service, as it was 
 there duty to be; from your letter, however, it appears not to be 
 the case. The only alternative now remains that you collect a 
 sufficient number of muskets, within the bounds of your brigade, 
 ^and furnish the men, ordered to march, with them, instead of rifies. 
 There are no rifles belonging to the Commonwealth at the disposi- 
 tion of the Governor. With regard to blankets, each man must 
 supply himself, as well as a knapsack. This certainly can be done 
 with little difficulty or expense. Tents and other camp equipage, 
 will be furnished at Meadville by the general orders. You perceive 
 it will be your duty to provide rations for the men until tliey reach 
 Meadville. This you can accomplish by either going forward in ad- 
 vance of the detachment from your brigade, or sending forward an 
 officer from the detachment, to make contracts for provisions to sup- 
 ply the men from day to day, until they reach the place of general 
 rendezvous, giving a receipt to the person who furnishes the supply, 
 which will be settled at the department of accounts. Tlie Governor 
 has no power to draw money for that purpose in advance. If there 
 are any rifles belonging to the Commonwealth, in either tlie First or 
 Second brigades, in the hands of men not ordered into service, you 
 are hereby authorized to take such rifles, and put them into the 
 hands of those who are ordered to march. If Mr. Fruit, the inspec- 
 tor of the the Second brigade, is not in a situation to conduct the 
 detachment called for from his brigade, to the place of rendezvous, 
 (as, from some intimation to the Governor, such a circumstance is 
 not altogether improbable,) you are required to perform the duty 
 asssigned to him. It is recommended that you procure rifles if pos- 
 
574 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 sible, upon loan from individuals. It is confidently believed that 
 patriotism will prompt to a ready compliance with such request in 
 the i>resent exigency. 
 
 Tlie Legislature will unquestionably make provision, that in case 
 such ritles are lost or injured, the owner will be fully indemnified. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N.B. BOILEAU. 
 
 REPRESENTATION OF THE FRONTIER SETTLERS OF 
 THE NORTHERN COUNTIES, SEPTEMBER, 1812. 
 
 His Excellency the Governor of the State of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Your petitioners, inhabitants of the county of Tioga and its vi- 
 cinity, viewing with anxious solicitude the alarming situation in 
 which the sound of war has placed them, beg leave to suggest to 
 your Excellency the propriety of taking some effective measures to 
 guard against and repel the inroads and depredations of our com- 
 mon enemy on the unprotected inhabitants of the counties of Tioga, 
 Potter, and McKean. We have no longer any confidence in such a 
 part of our red brethren as have lately left their homes to join our 
 enemy, (as we suppose,) and fear many acts of cruelty and barbarity 
 may be perpetrated by those above described, and others who may 
 lead them on. The country west of this, to Lake Erie, is thinly in- 
 habited, which will be favorable to any desperate fellows to hold in- 
 tercourse witii those among us, and execute their black designs, and 
 escape with impunity. We, therefore, pray your Excellency to take 
 our unprotected situation into consideration, and cause such a part 
 of the militia as have lately been drafted from Colonel Satterlees' 
 and Colonel Killburn's regiments, to be stationed in the most con- 
 venient situation in Potter or McKean, for the protection of our 
 defenceless frontiers. We hope your Excellency will not consider 
 us as presuming or officious by renewing our solicitations that our 
 destitute situation may be immediately taken into consideration. 
 And we, your petitioners, in duty bound, will ever pray.

 Harrisburg, September 1, 1812. 
 Sir : Y'our letter of yesterday I received by the mail of this morn- 
 ing. It was with much regret the Governor discovered, after his 
 general orders were issued, that your name was omitted. Be assured 
 it was entirely unintentional. I presume it happened in this way : 
 The tenders of service that I received in his absence I sent on to 
 Selin's Grove. He was there when the requisition made by the 
 President came to this office. I immediately forwarded, by express, 
 the letters of Eustis and Dearborn to him. He immediately left 
 Selin's Grove for this place, and, probably, in consequence of hurry, 
 he left your letter there, as he cannot find it here among his papers. 
 At the same time I sent an express to the Governor, I also sent 
 one to General Reed. The express found him at Gettysburg attend- 
 ing court. Unfortunately, he also came to the seat of Government 
 without having the tender of service from you, made through Mr. 
 Light, the brigade inspector, or he had not received it. Of this I am 
 not informed. When the Governor drew up the General Orders, he 
 left a blank for the names of the commanding officers of the com- 
 panies which had tendered their services, and directed the Adjutant 
 
576 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 General to fill the blank, at the same time furnished him with all 
 the tenders of service that had been made to him personally that he 
 could here lay his hands on ; and thus it happened, as I before men- 
 tioned, that lie did not discover the omission until it was too late- 
 1 expect he will have occasion to issue General Orders again in a 
 few days to the brigade inspectors, in which he will notice all omis- 
 sions that have undesignedly occurred in the former orders. I hope 
 the foregoing explanation will be satisfactory, and request that you 
 will connnunicate it to the officers and men composing the Lancas- 
 ter Yagers. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 ■Secretary. 
 P. S. Since writing the above, I And, on examining the returns 
 of milithi officers, that tlie tender of service was made by Mr. 
 Light to the Governor in the same return which reported the names 
 of the officers elect of your company, the return being filed in this 
 office. The Governor never saw it until this day. I had concluded 
 that you had written to the Governor, and that I had forwarded 
 your letter to him. It, however, appears otherwise. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO CHARLES LAMBAERT. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 3, 1812. 
 
 Sir : Your letter of the 24th ult. to Mr. Trimble, relative to mus- 
 kets for the Easton Light Infantry company, is now before me. In 
 answer to which I have to state that it appears from the represent- 
 ation of Mr. Seeger that the muskets at Nazareth are not in com- 
 plete repair; but I expect the only repair tiie most of them want, is 
 merely to rub off the rust, and oil them. This can be done by each 
 individual, in whose hands the musket is placed, with very little 
 trouble and expense. This has been done by several volunteer com- 
 panies who have received muskets from the State in the same way. 
 If, therefore, you think proper to make a selection of those that 
 want the least repair, under the direction of Mr. Seger, and will 
 forward your bond, an order will be immediately issued for the de- 
 livery of the muskets you have selected. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 Richard Parker, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : Mr. McClellaa ha^ just informed the Governor that, agree- 
 ably to your contract, j'ou will supply tlie volunteers from this State, 
 ordered to rendezvous at Meadvilleon the 25th instant, with rations 
 on their march to that place. I have, therefore, deemed it expedient 
 to furnish you the inclosed list of officers and men ordered on that 
 service, residing east of the Allegheny, and within the bounds of 
 your contract. You are also furnished with the names of tlie sev- 
 eral brigade inspectors from whose brigades the detachments are to 
 be formed. Could you intimate to them that you would furnish the 
 necessary rations, it would exempt them from the trouble of making 
 other arrangements for that, purpose.

 GOV. SIMOK SNYDER TO MR. DUNCAN. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 2, 1812. 
 Mr. Duncan, Deputy Superintendent of Military Stores : 
 
 Sir : Mr. McClellan, the Inspector of the Second brigade, Seventh 
 division, whose dutyit is to march with a detachment of volunteers 
 from his brigade to Meadville, has said that you have offered to fur- 
 nish, from Carlisle, the tents and other camp equipage for the de- 
 tachment. From the enclosed copy of a letter from Cadwallader 
 Irvine, you will perceive that arrangements have been made to fur- 
 nish tents and other camp equipage from the deposit at Pittsburg. 
 At the same time it is apparent that it would be more for the con- 
 venience and accommodation of the troops on this side the Alle- 
 gheny, to be furnished with these articles from Carlisle. If, there- 
 fore, you think it consistent with your duty to supply them, I request 
 that you would do it, and at the same time give early intimation of 
 your doing so to the Superintendent of Military Stores at Pittsburg. 
 
 I am, &c.,

 K. B. BOILEAU TO WILLIAM MOOEE. 
 
 IIarrisburg, September 3, 1812. 
 Sri? : Yours of the 29th ult. 1 received yesterday. Two copies of 
 the geiienil orders were forwarded to you, one by express and another 
 by mail. We have not a spare copy, or I would forward it. As you 
 have already given notice to the commanding officers of the com- 
 panies tliat are to march, the time and place of rendezvous, which 
 is at Meadville, the 25th inst., it will be sufficient, I presume, to 
 give you an extract from the ordei's, which points out your further 
 duty : " Tiiese officers, brigade inspectors, are to march, each with 
 his proper detachment, to the place of rendezvous ; are required and 
 directed, severally, to provide subsistence and other necessary ac- 
 commodations for the troops on their march, and exhibit detailed 
 account for settlement and payment to the accoi;nting officer of the 
 Commonwealth." Should there be any deficiency of arms in any of 
 the volunteer companies, you will supply them with any that may 
 be in the bounds in your brigade ; every man must supi)ly himself 
 with a blanket, and knapsack. Tents and other camp equipage will 
 be furnislied at Meadville. General Dearborn, in his letter to the 
 Governor, states that no horsemen are wanted, the Governor, there- 
 fore, has ordered none to march. You will, therefore, inform the 
 trooi) accordingly. We cannot find on our files any return of Wil- 
 liam Jackson being returned as an officer elect. If the company 
 you state to be commanded by William Jackson is one of the march- 
 ing companies, commissions will be handed out by General Reed at 
 Meadville; he took blanks with him.

 James Lamberton, Esq., Inspector First Brigade, Seventh Divis-

 Sir: The obvious necessity for field artillery on the western 
 frontier of this State, impels me to direct you immediately to have 
 put in traveling condition the brass field piece, the property of the 
 State, remaining at Shippensburg, and send it to Erie by some 
 trusty iierson. Your account for repairs and for transportation will 
 be paid on production of proper vouchers at this place.

 The exposed state of the western country, and my knowledge of 
 the want of ordinance there, impels me to direct you immediately 
 to have fitted up for transportation four of the field-pieces, at present 
 in the arsenal at Philadelphia, the property of the State, and that 
 you contract for tlieir transportation to Erie, in the county of Erie, 
 or to this place. It is of importance that such be selected as are 
 fit for service. Your account for repairs will be paid at this on the

 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 5, 1812. 
 To N. B, BoiLEAU, Aid-de-Camp: 
 
 The recent disastrous events on the north-western frontiers of 
 the United States, presenting immiuent danger, impels the Execu- 
 tive of Pennsylvania under the requisition of the constituted author- 
 ities of the United States, to order out for the service of the Union, 
 a detachment of 2000 men to be composed of the drafted militia, 
 and of flank companies and horse of the Twelfth, Thirteenth, Four- 
 teenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth divisions, each division to furnish 
 a number, which added to the volunteers already in service under 
 general orders of the 25th ult., will be equal to its quota, as desig- 
 nated by the Adjutant General orders of the 12th May last. 
 
 No return of drafts having been received by the Executive from 
 the Second brigade of the Thirteenth division, the brigade inspec- 
 tor thereof is directed to give immediate notice to three flank com- 
 panies of horse attached to his brigade to march, and he is directed 
 to march them to the place of rendezvous hereinafter mentioned. 
 
 The Brigade Inspector of the First brigade of the Thirteenth di- 
 vision is commanded to march the drafts from his brigade to the 
 place of rendezvous. 
 
 The Brigade Inspectors of the other divisions being now on their 
 march with their respective detachments under general orders of 
 the 25th ult., the brigadier generals of the other divisions will ap, 
 point the senior oflicer of each regimental draft to give notice to the 
 
580 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 drafts, officers, and privates within the bounds of their respective 
 regiments, to meet at some convenient place within the brigade, and 
 after liaving mustered the respective detachments, the said brigade 
 inspectors, as aforesaid, and the said senior officers shall march their 
 respective detacliments to Pittsburgli, with the requisite dispatch, 
 so tiiat they arrive at the said place of rendezvous on the 2d day of 
 October next. On tl)e next day thereafter, or as soon as a majority 
 of the detachment sliall have arrived, the officers and privates shal^ 
 elect one Brigadier General to command the detachment, which is to 
 constitute a brigade, and is to consist of and be formed into four 
 regiments, and each regiment to consist of two battalions. Each 
 regiment to elect one colonel commandant, and each battalion one 
 major. 
 
 Volunteers will be accepted in substitution of any draft or drafts. 
 Subsistence and accommodations for the troops on their march to 
 the place of rendezvous, it is presumed, will be furnished by the 
 United States contractors. If no provision shall have been made 
 by those contractors, the men will either supply themselves, or the 
 several commandants on the march to the rendezvous will do it, and 
 render their accounts, as directed by general orders of the 25th ult. 
 
 The Brigadiers General, for ascertaining their respective drafts, 
 are referred to a note accompanying this, containing so much as is 
 necessary of the Adjutant General's detail, founded on returns to 
 hiuj from the respective brigade inspectors. 
 
 Tlie Adjutant General will attend at the place of rendezvous and 
 take the command of the detachment, until the officers are chosen. 
 To them respectively, tliat officer will deliver commissions; and will 
 pay any expenses incident to the service that may not be provided 
 for by the United States. At the place of rendezvous the detach- 
 ment will be furnislied with tents and other field equipage. Should 
 there be any deficiency of arms, the said Brigade Inspectors and 
 Brigadiers General will supply the respective detachments with any 
 to be found within tlie bounds of their respective brigades. If there 
 cannot be found a sufficient number, they will be furnished at the 
 place of rendezvous. Every man will supply himself with a blanket 
 and knapsack. 
 
 Tlie Brigadier General having assumed the command, will, with 
 the least possible delay, march his detachment to, and join, an army 
 now assembling in the State of Ohio for defense of the western fron- 
 tiers, unless otherwise ordered by the Commander-in-Chief of the 
 United States army. 
 
 The Govenu^r embraces the present opportunity of recording the 
 names of commanding officers of companies who have patriotically 
 tendered tlieir services, not included in General Orders of the 25th 
 ultimo.

 N. B. BoiLEATJ, Aid-de-Camp : 
 
 From the First brigade, Eleventh division, three hundred and 
 forty-six drafts, including officers out of that number, one hundred 
 and one volunteers have already marched. It will be understood, 
 and it is so directed, that if the proper brigade inspector can attend 
 to the execution of the duties above enjoined on the Brigadier Gen- 
 eral, and the senior officers of regimental detachments, these gen- 
 eral orders are, in that case, considered as being directed to tlie Bri- 
 gade Inspector of your brigade. As soon as you have fixed the place 
 of assembling the detachment in the bounds of the brigade from 
 whence they are to march to Pittsburgli. and their number you will 
 please to communicate the same to one of the contractors. Ebene- 
 zer Denny, at Pittsburgh, is for the west, Richard Parker, at Car-

 WiLLiAJi LiNNARD, Deputy Quarter -Master General: 
 
 Sir : In consequence of a requisition made by the Executive of 
 the L'nited States, by a letter from the Secretary of AVar, of Sei)tem- 
 ber 1, 1812, the Governor has issued general orders for another de- 
 tachment of two thousand men, to march and rendezvous at Pitts- 
 burgh, on the 2d day of October next. It becomes necessary again 
 to apply for camp equipage from the United States. ^ I have, there- 
 fore, to request that you will consult with Gen. Duncan, who, I un- 
 derstand, is appointed Superintendent of Military Stores, and make 
 arrangements to have the necessary articles at the place of rendez- 
 vous, by the time appointed for assembling the troops. 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 X. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 P. S.— The classes ordered to march in the above detachment 
 amount to 2,273. The Governor has ordered about 800 muskets to 
 Pittsburgh, to supply the detachment; but it is feared that there 
 will be still a deficiency, as well as for cartridge boxes. Could not 
 arrangements be made to meet such deficiency r* A contract has 
 been made for 2,000 cartridge boxes, which will be ready in about 
 two weeks. These might be appropriated to re-place any loan from 
 the United States.

 Governor of this Commonwealth has issued general orders for 
 marching a detachment of 2,000 militia, in addition to those or- 
 dered into service by general orders of August 25th. The detach- 
 ment is composed of drafts from the militia of Westmoreland, Fay- 
 ette, Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Venango, War- 
 ren, Erie, Armstrong, Indiana, Washington, Greene, Somerset,

 The detachment will be composed of the militia from the coun- 
 ties of Washington, Greene, Somerset, Bedford, Westmoreland, 
 Fayette, Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana, and Cambria. You are 
 requested to make arrangements for supplying the troops with ra- 
 tions, on their march from the counties west of the Alleglieny to

 Harrisburg, September 5, 1812. 
 William Reed, Esq., Adjutant General: 
 
 Sm : From the general orders herewith enclosed, you will per- 
 ceive that the Governor has been under the necessity of imposing 
 additional duties upon you. Commissions have been forwarded for 
 you, to the care of Mr. Pentland, at Pittsburgh. As soon as you 
 have organized the detachment at Meadville, you will repair, with 
 all possible dispatch, to Pittsburgh. From the letter of the Secre- 
 tary of War, dated September 1st, of which the following is an ex- 
 tract: " I have to request your Excellency to hasten the march of 
 the 2,000 troops required through General Dearborn ; you will please 
 to comuninicate with him, and adopt such measures as he may re- 
 commend," it would appear that the detachment at Meadville is 
 to be under the direction of General Dearborn. The detachment 
 at Meadville will, therefore, proceed on to the point designated in 
 the general orders of the 25th August last, unless ordered differ- 
 ently by General Dearborn, to whom the Governor has written on 
 the subject. (Permit me to mention to you the propriety of making 
 a similar suggestion to the officers at Pittsburgh, relative to the gen- 
 eral election, to that which it was thought expedient to the officers 
 at Meadville.)

 Sir : In obedience to the President's requisition, communicated 
 by your letter to me of the 1st inst., I have ordered into the service 
 of the United States a detachment of Pennsylvania militia, consist- 
 ing of two thousand men, as you will perceive by a copy of general 
 orders enclosed. To make up possible deficiencies about two hun- 
 dred and seventy over the number required are ordered to march, 
 which I trust will have the President's approbation. From recent 
 information communicated to me by gentlemen styling themselves 
 
r

 tors and Brigadiers General of the divisions from which troops are 
 to be detached for service of the United States, under general orders 
 of this day. 
 
 In every instance where the Brigade Inspector of any brigade here- 
 tofore ordered to march to Meadville, has not marched, such Brigade 
 Inspector is to put the marching detachment imder the command 
 of the senior officer thereof, and shall execute the duties of his office, 
 under general orders of this day ; and so soon as the detachment 
 of his brigade is ready to depart, shall march it to Pittsburgh, and 
 the Brigadier General is in that case relieved from the duty imposed 
 on him.

 To William Clark, Esquire, Inspector First brigade, Sixteenth

 Sir : I am instructed by the Governor to request you to have all 
 the public arms in your possession transported to this place as early 
 as practicable. The expense incurred will be settled at this place 
 to transport the arms from Lancaster to this place, which is thirty- 
 six miles, for twenty-four dollars the trip. It is expected that teams 
 in your neighborhood can be obtained as cheap as here ; if not so, 
 you will endeavor to accomplish the business at as little expense as 
 possible. A volunteer company at Easton were offered arms from 
 the deposit at Nazareth upon certain conditions. If the company

 calls for the arms before they are removed you will please to deliver 
 
 them.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO SAMUEL COCHRAN, BRIGADE IN- 
 SPECTOR, PITTSBURGH. 
 
 Harrisburg September 10, 1812. 
 
 Sir : The Governor has directed seven hundred and twenty stands 
 of arms to be forwarded to Pittsburgh, for the purpose of supplying 
 such of the militia called into service by general orders of the 5th 
 instant, as may not be already furnished. The arms are contained 
 in twenty-five boxes; twenty of which contain thirty stands, and 
 five twentj'-four stands each. The locks and screws are folded iu 
 paper, and numbered corresponding with the numbers marked on 
 the gun stocks near the screw plate. You will please to give the 
 wagoners a receipt for the boxes when delivered, and have them 
 safely deposited until the troops arrive. You will then furnish such 
 of the men with muskets as have none, taking a receipt for them 
 from the commanding officer of the company to which they are de- 
 livered. 
 
 Very respectfully, &c., 
 
 N.B. BOILEAU. 
 
 N. B. Four boxes containing twenty-four stands each were left, 
 for want of room, in the wagons. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. HENRY DEARBORN. 
 
 Harrisburg, Septeniber 11, 1812. 
 Sir : Yours of the 2d instant has been duly received by the Gov- 
 ernor. I have the honor to inform you that yours of the 13th ult., 
 was also received by him at Selins Grove the 21st ; he immediately 
 repaired to the seat of government at this place, and on the 25th is- 
 sued general orders for twenty-four hundred volunteers to rendez- 
 vous at Meadville on the 25th of the present month, and from thence 
 to march with all possible dispatch to Buffalo. On the 26th ult. a 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 587 
 
 letter inclosing general orders was directed to you at Greenbush, 
 and put in tlie mail at this place. On the 5th instant the Governor 
 issued general orders, agreeably to the request of the Secretary at 
 War, for two thousand two hundred more of the militia of this 
 State to rendezvous at Pittsburgh on the 2d of October, and from 
 thence to join, without delay, the troops assembling in the State of 
 Ohio. A letter, also, inclosing the last mentioned orders was put 
 in the mail at this place, directed to you at Greenbush. That the 
 Governor's letter of the 26th ult. has not reached you, is matter of 
 surprise and regret. The detachment assembling at Meadville will 
 proceed on to Buffalo, unless otherwise directed by you. You will, 
 therefore forward to the commanding oflficer of that detachment, 
 such orders as you may deem expedient. It will be commanded by 
 a Brigadier General, but, as he was to be elected by the volunteers 
 composing the detachment, I cannot yet give you his name. 
 
 The Adjutant General, William Reed, Esq., will attend, and is 
 gone to Meadville to take the command until the detachment is or- 
 ganized. Any instructions inclosed to him will be punctually at- 
 tended to. You will, therefore, please to communicate with him 
 as early as possible. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir,

 Hakrisburg, Septemher 11, 1812. 
 
 Sir : A volunteer company of riflemen of Bedford county has 
 offered their services to the Governor, upon condition that they are 
 furnished with tents and other camp equipage at Bedford. I have, 
 therefore, by direction of the Governor, to request you to supply the 
 company with those articles, if you can consistently with your duty. 
 The company consists of one hundred and twenty, including oflicers. 
 The general rendezvous is to be at Pittsburgh on the 2d of October 
 next. Mr. David Metzler, one of the officers of the company, will 
 hand you this and receive your answer.

 IlARRiSBURG, llt/t September, 1812. 
 
 Sir: There are remaining here five boxes, wlierein are packed 
 one liundred and twenty muskets yet to be forwarded to the western 
 country. These and the cannon wheels, &c., at Shippensburg, would 
 make a liglit load for a four-horse team to Pittsburgh or to Erie. 
 Please to inform me at wliat price you can hire a team at Carlisle 
 to go to any of the two places, first to come to this place for the 
 muskets. I wait your answer. The waggons sent from here have 
 for the trip to Pittsburgh one hundred and seventy-five dollars. 
 Sincerely, your friend and servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER.

 Harrisburg, September 11, 1812. 
 
 To Sa:muel Cochran, Esquire, Inspector First brigade, Fifteenth 
 division, Pennsylvania Militia: 
 Sir : Yesterday morning three wagon load of muskets left this 
 place for Pittsburgh, directed to your care. They were contained in 
 twenty-five boxes, twenty of which had in them thirty stand, the 
 other five, twenty-four stand each. The locks are put up in paper, 
 and numbered, corresponding with numbers marked on the gun 
 stocks, near the screw-plate. You will please to give the wagoners 
 a receipt for them when delivered. Deposit them safely until the 
 troops assemble, which will be on the 2d of October. You will then 
 distribute them to such companies as are not supplied, taking a re. 
 ceipt from the commanding oflicer of such company. The arms 
 were inspected here by a gunsmith, who selected them, and states 
 that they want nothing but cleaning from rust and oiling, to make 
 them fit for service. Time would not permit of having it done here ; 
 but each man will be able, in a very short time, to clean and oil his 
 own musket. The number sent is seven hundred and twenty. About 
 one hundred and eighty more will be forwarded, if possible, so as to 
 be at Pittsburgli by the 2d of October. Such of them as want repair- 
 ing are now in the hands of a gunsmith for that purpose. It is also 
 intended to forward, at the same time, about two thousand car- 
 tridge-boxes, to be delivered and receipted for as directed with re- 
 gard to the muskets. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 Harrisburg, September 11, 1812. 
 Gen. John Noble : 
 
 Sir : I have much gratification, on the receipt of your favor of the 
 7th Inst., just handed to me by Mr. David Metzler, and take much 
 pleasure by saying the promptitude with which you have executed 
 general orders of the 5th inst., does you much honor. I accept with 
 great satisfaction the tender of service of the volunteer rifle com- 
 pany which, in the hour of peril and danger, have patriotically 
 stepped forward to serve their country in substitution of the re- 
 mainder of the draft required of the Fifty-fifth regiment, part of 
 the detachment ordered to rendezvous at Pittsburgh , on the 2d of 
 October next. In compliance with the company's conditions No. 1, 
 commissions are forwarded ; on the second, can only say the State 
 owns not a single tent. These camp kettles and other camp equip- 
 ments will be furnished at Pittsbui-gh, by the United States Deputy 
 Superintendent of Military Stores, or may be furnished at Carlisle, 
 as has been done in case of volunteers marched from Franklin 
 county, if Mr. Metzler will make the application founded 021 my 
 requisition to the deputy there. The third condition, must be re- 
 ferredto those patriotic feelings inherent in the bosom of every true 
 
 American. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO GENERAL WILLIAM DUANE. 
 
 Philadelphia, Septemher 14, 1812. 
 
 To Gen. William Duane, Superintendent of Militaru Stores: 
 
 Sir : About the 5th inst. I wrote to Mr. Linnard informing him 
 that the Governor, in compliance with the request of the Secretary 
 at War, had issued general orders for 2,000 militia, to rendezvous at 
 Pittsburgh on the 2d of October, and requested that Mr. Linnard 
 would make arrangements to furnish them with tents and other 
 camp equipage. I also wished him to consult with you on the sub- 
 ject of supplying the men with cartridge boxes out of the stores at 
 Pittsburgh, if they should need them, upon loan, or otherwise. The 
 Governor has contracted for two thousand at Harrisburg, and they 
 are in considerable forwardness, and will be;forwarded to Pittsburgh , 
 if possible, by the 2d of October. But I fear they will not reach 
 
590 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 that place quite so early. I would also wish to be informed whether 
 or not tents and other camp equipage could not be supplied from 
 Carlisle for such of tlie militia as may, from time to time, be called 
 from the east side of the mountain. Mr. Duncan, of Carlisle, feels 
 disposed to accommodate in that way, if he could be authorized to 
 do so. I am sorry to add that Lieut. Johnson, of Pittsburgh, does 
 not discover such an accommodating disposition. As I received no 
 answer to my letter sent to Mr. Linnard, I fear that it has not 
 reached him, please to mention the subject to him. In consequence 
 of sickness in my family, I was sent for, and am now on my way 
 home. I shall probably be absent from the seat of government for 
 some short time. I wish that you and Mr. Linnard would write 
 to the Governor at Ilarrisburg on the subjects above mentioned. 
 Should you authorize a loan of muskets and cartridge-boxes, they 
 would be returned or re-placed in a very short time. Seven hundred 
 and twenty stands have been sent on to Pittsburgh. One hundred 
 and eighty more will be forwarded in a few days. One thousand 
 have been ordered from Nazareth to Harrisburg, a part, on the 
 whole of which will be forwarded to that place, should it be neces- 
 sary. 
 
 I am, very respectfully, sir.

 William Eustis, Esq., Secretary of War : 
 
 Sir : The original communication, of which the accompanying is 
 a copy, signed by gentlemen of the first respectability at Erie, was 
 transmitted to me by Brigadier General John Kelso of that place. 
 A copy of (jeneral Kelso's letter I take the liberty also to forward. 
 Placing on their statement the fullest reliance, I hasten to transmit 
 it to you, to be laid before the President of the United States. To 
 their request, I beg leave to add my wish that some eificient meas- 
 ures for tlie protection of that frontier may speedily be taken. I 
 ask this because the very imperfect militia system of this State pre- 
 sents so many obstacles to the adoption by the executive of efficient 
 measures, that, unless the General Government comes in aid of our 
 feeble efforts, that country, if an irruption by the enemy be made, 
 will fall a sacrifice to savage ferocity. Permit me to solicit the 
 earliest possible information of the President's determination on 
 this interesting subject, and permit also to assure you of my perfect 
 consideration, &c.

 WILLIAM DUNCAN TO GOV. SNYDER. 
 
 United States Arsenal, Septemher 15, 1812. 
 
 His Excellency Simon Snyder, Governor of the Commonwealth of 
 
 Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : I this moment received a letter from the Secretary of the 
 Commonwealth, relative to the late requisition, marie through Mr. 
 Linnard on this department, for tents and other articles of camp 
 equipage, and do myself the honor of returning an answer with that 
 promptitude which the occasion and my high respect for your ex- 
 cellency demand. Permit me to premise that if the requisition had 
 been made on me, which was inadvertantly made on the deputy 
 quarter-master, I should have returned an immediate answer ; but 
 presuming that Mr. Linnard had done so, I did not deem it neces- 
 sary. I received a letter from him on the subject, dated the 9th in- 
 stant, in which he expressed doubts whether the requisition could 
 be complied with without the approbation of the Secretary of War, 
 and suggested the propriety of his writing to him on the subject. To 
 which I immediately wrote an answer, assuring him that I should, 
 in anticipation of the answer of the Secretary of War, order camp 
 kettles and such camp equipage as were forwarded from this place 
 on the former requisition, to be packed without delay, and prepared 
 for transportation, so that the operations of the militia might not 
 be retarded by pursuing this course. The muskets are also in read- 
 iness, waiting the secretary's answer, which is daily expected. 
 
 There are not a sufiicient number of cartridge-boxes in store to 
 complete existing orders, which are of a very urgent nature. I, 
 therefore, sincerely hope that those contracted for in Harrisburg 
 maybe furnished in time to meet our citizen soldiers in Pittsburgh, 
 on the 2d of October next. 
 
 The anxious solicitude I feel to promote the patriotic views of 
 your Excellency and the militia of Pennsylvania, together with the 
 service of the United States in general, will, I trust, always secure 
 to the officers with whom I have the honor to act, a prompt cooper- 
 ation in every measure calculated to advance the honor and interest 
 of our beloved country. 
 
 With sentiments of the highest esteem and regard, 
 I have the honor to be 
 
 Your Excellency's obedient, very humble servant,

 IIakrisburg, IGth September, 1812. 
 Postscript to my letter of yesterday. 
 William Eustis, Esq., Secretary at War : 
 
 Siif : To make up possible deficiencies, I ordered to rendezvous at 
 Me;ulville,;i,ol(> volunteers, at Pittsburgh 2,214, drafted militia. 
 
 The promptitude with which the orders were obeyed induces the 
 belief that the whole, or nearly the wliole number ordered will ren- 
 dezvous at both places. Permit me, througli you, to suggest to the 
 President the propriety of employing the surplus number of both 
 detachments in the defence of Erie. If the President should so 
 determine, I would further suggest that from the volunteer and 
 drafted men of the Sixteenth division of Pennsylvania militia, 
 composed of the counties of Erie, Crawford, Warren, Mercer, Ve- 
 nango, Beaver, and Butler, might be detached the said surplus for 
 the defence of that important post. For reasons, I beg leave to refer 
 to the representation made by Judge Moore and others, a copy 
 whereof was forwarded to you under date of yesterday. William 
 Reed, Adjutant General, who commands both detachments until 
 organized for their march, will promptly obey any directions given 
 by the President. Permit me again to ask an early answer, and to 
 assure you of my perfect consideration and esteem.

 Harrisburg, September 16, 1812. 
 To Samuel Thomas, Esq., Captain of a Company of Artillery,

 division of Militia : 
 
 Sir : In answer to your letter to the Governor of the 11th instant, 
 I am directed by him to inform you that your company may be sup- 
 plied with a competent number of muskets, the property of the 
 State, upon the same terms that others have been furnished with 
 them, to wit : By executing a bond conditioned for their re-delivery 
 in as good order and repair as when received by the company, when- 
 ever a demand of them shall be made by the proper authority. I 
 inclose a blank bond, which you, with the Lieutenant and Ensign, 
 may execute if you think proper, and upon the same being trans-

 mitted to this office, and receiving the approbation of the Governor, 
 he will issue an order for the delivery of such number as may be 
 necessary for your company out of the public store, and directions 
 will be then given where to apply for them. I will thank you to in- 
 form me what number of men your company consists of. 
 I am, sir, with much respect,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO Dr. GEORGE DAWSON 
 
 Harrisburg, 16th September, 1812. 
 To Dr. George Dawson, Pittsburgh: 
 
 Sir : Under my orders of the 4th instant, James Laraberton, Es- 
 quire, Brigade Inspector, residing at Carlisle, has forwarded to your 
 care a brass field piece, the property of the State, as I stand informed 
 by that officer. The gun is intended for the use of the military 
 force now on duty at Erie, for the defence of that frontier. You 
 will, therefore, deliver the gun to the order of Major William Clark, 
 who will pay any reasonable expenses that may have been incurred 
 by its delivery to you. 
 
 Very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. JOHN KELSO. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 16, 1812. 
 To Gen. John Kelso : 
 
 Sir : To make up possible deficiencies, I ordered under the requi- 
 sition of Gen. Dearborn, to rendezvous at Meadville. 2,516 volun- 
 teers, and at Pittsburgh, under reqisition of the President, 2214. 
 The promptitude with which the orders are obeyed, leads me to an- 
 ticipate the rendezvousing at both places, of the largest number. 
 
 I have, under date of this day, suggested to the President, through 
 
 the Secretary at War, the propriety of employing in the defence of 
 
 Erie, this surplus force, and that the volunteers and dr-xfts from 
 
 the Sixteenth division, because consisting of men living at, and 
 
 38— Vol. XII. 
 
504 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 contiguous to Erie, might be detached for that service. The result 
 of this application I will communicate to you. 
 
 I liave to lament that your letter, though dated the 5th inst., and 
 the communication from Judge Moore, and others of the same date, 
 was so long delayed as to protract its delivery to yesterday. Copies 
 of both I have transmited to the President of the United .States. 
 
 Please write me again, and if by you deemed necessary, and I 
 fail in my application to the President, I will order a draft from 
 without the bounds of the Sixteenth division, say from Westmore- 
 land and adjoining counties. I am happy to have it in my power 
 to say you wish to have artillery is anticipated. One brass field 
 piece is now on the road to Pittsburgh, directed to the care of 
 Dr. (ieorge Dawson. For its delivery to Maj. Clark I have given 
 an order, who will have it transported to Erie. Grape shot and ball 
 can be procured at Pittsburgh, as we are informed by Maj. Clark. 
 Four more 4-pounders I had brought from Philadelphia to this place, 
 and will be sent to Erie as soon as teams can be provided. 
 
 On the morning of the 7th inst., the day on which the bond for 
 $4,0(H), signed by yourself and Col. Philips, as surety for Maj. Clark 
 came to hand. A commission of quarter-master general for Wilson 
 Smith had been made out, and measures were preparing to have 
 placed to his credit at the Branch Bank of Pittsburgh $10,000, sub- 
 ject to his draft, for provisions and munition of war, «&c., already 
 purchased by Maj. Clark, and such as might be purchased by him. 
 The duties imposed by my order, and other multifarious duties in- 
 cumbent on Maj. Clark, in consequence of several offices lie holds, 
 are too burdensome for any one individual to perform. These con- 
 siderations induce the appointment of a quarter-master. To him 
 most properly, if to any officer in my appointment, it belongs to pro- 
 vide the detachment now performing duty at Erie. 
 
 The commission for Wilson Smith will soon be forwarded, and 
 money placed to his credit. In the interim, the $4,000 placed to the 
 credit of Maj. Clark, at the Branch Bank of Pittsburgh, will be 
 equal to the payment of his purchases ; the balance, if any, will be 
 discharged by Wilson Smith. 
 
 Sincerely your friend, &c., 
 
 SIMON SNYDER.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO WILSON SMITH. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 18, 1812. 
 WiLsox Smith, Esq., Quarter-master > General of the Militia of 
 
 Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : Circumstances arising? out of the measures taken to defend 
 the frontiers of this State, make it desirous that your services might 
 avail tlie public in the capacity of quarter-master general of the 
 militia of Pennsylvania, which appointment, from my knowledge 
 of your republican integrity, I confer on you. With the commis- 
 sion herewith transmitted, the public interest requires that you act 
 also ill the capacity of comuiissary for furnishing supplies of pro- 
 visions, camp equipage, and munitions of war, for the militia now 
 in service, and that may hereafter be ordered on service there or 
 elsewhere, the northwestern frontiers of this State under the orders 
 of the executive. For defraying the expenses incident to this ser- 
 vice, there will be placed to your credit, on the books of the Branch 
 Bank of Pittsburgh, six thousand dollars. For further directions 
 in the execution of the trust reposed in you, I refer to a letter to 
 you from the Auditor General. The money will be transmitted in 
 checks drawn by the State Treasurer on the Bank of Pennsylvania, 
 payable to your order, which shall be forwarded to the cashier of 
 the Branch Bank at Pittsburgh, where they will be duly honored; 
 but it will be necessary for you to endorse the checks or to author- 
 ise the cashier to place the amount to your credit on the books of 
 the Branch bank, and you can, thereupon, draw checks on him from 
 time to time as the public service may require. Maj. Clark, when 
 here, expressed feai'S that your appointment and transfer of duties, 
 until now performed by him to you, would very much embarrass 
 him, because of large purchases'of provisions made by him in an- 
 ticipation of a continuance in the capacity of commissary, and ex- 
 pressed a strong desire to have the contract from you for furnish- 
 ing rations for the troops in future. On this representation being 
 made, I did not hesitate to say, you would conti'act with him for 
 the rations if he agreed to furnish them at the price paid by the 
 United States to Ebenezer Denny, at Pittsburgh. Our military 
 operations being at this time altogether confined to your section of 
 the State, has induced your appointment to the office of quarter- 
 master general. You will readily perceive that, if the scene of war 
 snould be clianged, and a person competent, living near the seat of 
 government will accept thereof, the public interest would require 
 the appointment of such other person. 
 
 Your liberality, I am persuaded, would, in such case, ascribe the 
 act to the proper motive, and dictate the course you ought to pursue. 
 Be assured of my sincere regard and esteem.

 Commonwealth, fitted with every necessary apparatus for service, 
 and intended for the defence of the north-western frontiers. You 
 will, at such place as Brig. Gen. John Kelso should designate as the 
 most safe and convenient for the service, provide a suitable building 
 for their safe keeping, and the apparatus appurtenant thereto. For 
 the time being, and until otherwise ordered by proper authority, 
 these guns and another of the same description, forwarded by my 
 order, through James Lamberton, Brigade Inspector, residing at 
 Carlisle, are confided to his order and direction, whenever they, or 
 any of them, may be required for service in defence of the north- 
 western frontiers. To each of the carters, who shall deliver his gun, 
 and the apparatus appurtenant thereto belonging, in good condition, 
 agreeably to a schedule accompanying these orders, you will give a 
 receipt, i)urp()rting such delivery, or otherwise, as the state of the 
 gun and apparatus in his charge shall warrant. You will take charge, 
 generally, of all the munitions of war and other military public 
 properly now in store, or that may hereafter come under j^our notice

 Dear Sir : I had flattered myself the cartridge-boxes ordered to 
 be made at this place would have been completed in time, so as to 
 have had them in Pittsburgh on the 2d of October next, to be de- 
 livered to such of the drafted militia as may not have supplied them- 
 selves, but am much disappointed. Not more than four or five hun- 
 dred will be fnrnished in the early part of this week. These should 
 be forwarded as soon as a team can be procured ; if they arrive not 
 in time, I hope you may procure the number required out of the 
 United States military stores. On notice from you they sliall be 
 promptly re-placed. I have directed to be inclosed an extract of a

 OctoVier next. These please to receipt for to the wagoner. The

 have furnished the detachment, and receipt taken. If more than 
 five hundred shall have been fuvnislied, a receipt be taken for five 
 hundred on account. The remainder shall be sent on as soon as 
 completed. If any remain after a disposition has been made, as 
 above directed, that such remainder shall be subject to the order of 
 Wilson Smith, Quarter-master General. If any of the troops shall 
 have marclied unsupplied, the Governor directs that a number suf-

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. WILLIAM REED. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 26, 1812. 
 William Reed, Esq., Adjutant General: 
 
 Sir : Yesterday at noon five hundred cartouch-boxes were com- 
 pleted, and this day forwarded, by a two-horse wagon, for Pitts- 
 burgh, directed to Samuel Cochran, Brigade Inspector; in his ab- 
 sence, to yourself, and in the absence of both, to Ephraim Pentland, 
 Esq. Having reason to fear they will not arrive before the detach- 
 ments has marched, directions are given in Mr. Trimble's letter as 
 to their disposition in case of that event. It is thought (bating ac- 
 cidents) the wagon may arrive on the 5th of October, and if the de- 
 tachment shall have marched before that day, and any of the men 
 are destitute of that necessary article, I flatter myself dispatch will 
 be used, that they may be supplied at some place considerably short 
 of their destination. 
 
 In much haste, 
 
 I am yours respectfully, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER.

 Harrisburg, September 28, 1812. 
 
 To Ira Kilburx, Esq., and others, inhaUtants of the counties of 
 Tioga and its vicinity, Wellsboro'' : 
 Sir : In answer to the request of yourself and others, that the 
 Governor would order on service, for the defence of Potter and 
 McKean counties, the drafts heretofore made from Colonels Kill- 
 burn's and Satterly's regiments, he has instructed me to inform you 
 that those drafts are subject to the requisition of the United States 
 Government, and, therefore, he cannot order them into the service 
 of the State, nor can he perceive the danger those counties have to 
 apprehend, tlie seat of war being considerably more than one hun- 
 dred miles from them, on the frontier of the State of New York. 
 The enemy, after defeating our troops there, which he trusts will 
 not happen, must penetrate through that State before the just fears 
 of the petitioners can be excited. 
 
 I am, sir, respectfully.

 To George Armstrong, Esq., Inspector of the First Brigade, 
 Thirteenth Division Pennsylvania Militia : 
 
 Sir : Your return of the 22d inst. came duly to hand, and for the 
 officers therein mentioned I transmit commissions, except for John 
 Burn, lieutenant of the Third company of the Sixty-third regiment, 
 who has heen commissioned some time since for the same office. 
 
 As to Cai)t. ^IcCullougli's company. I can only say that it was 
 never returned into this office. You will therefore see the propriety 
 of transmiting a return of his election to this department as early 
 as possible. 
 
 I wrote to you on the 10th of June last, relative to a company of 
 riflemen, conmianded by John Morrow% attached to the Second 
 battalion of the Nineteenth regiment, requesting you to certify that 
 there are thirty men in complete uniform in his company, which 
 has not yet been received. 
 
 The above information is absolutely necessary before commissions 
 can be issued for either of the aforesaid companies. Your speedy 
 attention to the above will obtain the commissions without delay. 
 I am, with great respect. 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 Harrisburg, October 2, 1812. 
 James Lambertox, Esq.. Inspector of the First Brigade, Seventh 
 Division, Pennsijlvania Militia, at Carlisle : 
 Sir : The patriotic endeavors of a number of the young men of 
 the borough of Carlisle to form themselves into a corps of artiller- 
 ists, of which the Governor has received information through 
 Messrs. Wilson and Bell, members of the association, are highly 
 approved of by him, and he directs me to communicate his wish to 
 the members of that association through you, that they may con- 
 tinue those endeavors until the number is completely uniformed 
 and equipped to tlie number of forty men and upwards, required 
 by law, so as to entitle the officers duly elected and returned to re- 
 ceive their commissions, and the company to the piece of ordinance, 
 which, under the provisions of the militia law, may be furnished. 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 603 
 
 The Governor has no doubt of the readiness of this company, 
 when organized, to obey the call of the government, and that, when- 
 ever their services shall be lawfully required in the field, the neces- 
 sary cannon and horses will be furnished by the government. 
 I am respectfully.

 Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, 
 
 Harrisburg, October 8, 1812. 
 To Samuel Wallich, Esq., Major of the Second Battalion of the 
 Fifty-second Begiment Eleventh Division, Pennsylvania Militia: 
 Sir: Your letter of the 1st inst., communicating a tender of ser- 
 vices of the rifle company attached to your battalion, has been re- 
 ceived by the Governor, who directs me to inform you, and the offi- 
 cers and men of that company, that, inasmuch as there is no requi- 
 sition of the President's uncomplied with, the commissions of, the 
 volunteers is the less urgent, and may be delayed until a regular 
 return of the election of the officers, as required by law, from the 
 Brigade Inspector can be had. In the mean time the Governor ap- 
 plauds much the patriotism of tlie company, who at this crisis liave 
 volunteered their services in defence of our country's rights, long 
 violated by an implacable foe.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. WILLIAM REED. 
 
 Harrisburg, October 12, 1812. 
 To Gen. William Reed : 
 
 Sir : Your letter, under date of the 26th ult., stating difficulties 
 connected with the electing or designating of a Brigadier General 
 to command the detachment that are to rendezvous at Pittsburgh, 
 and the field officers, I did not receive until late in the evening of 
 the 5th instant ; I thought it then too late to give you any explana- 
 tion of my general order. 
 
G(»4 WAE OF 1812-14. 
 
 But, 111)011 rertection, I think it not improbable that you maj^ be 
 waitiiij,' for all answer before you proceed to carry the orders into 
 effect. If the direction to elect a Brigadier General and field offi- 
 cers, liy tlie officers and privates composing the detachment, be at 
 variance with the letter and spirit of the law, the law must un- 
 doiiljtedly govern you. If the detachments consist of drafts, which 
 you will have ascertained by the report of the proper officers, the 
 desigiialing jirinciple must evidently obtain. The militia law con- 
 tains contradictory provisions wMiich cannot be reconciled, and ren- 
 ders extremely difficult the execution of the duties it enjoins. Such 
 a construction as seems best calculated to promote the public inter- 
 est I trust you have already given, or will yet give, the law. The 
 otticers are to take rank according to the date of their commissions, 
 agreeably to a law which also directs that all commissions shall bear 
 date on the same day, and when two or more of the same grade bear 
 even date, tlieir rank shall be determined by lot. From tliis view it 
 would ai»pear to be proper for the field officers of the drafted militia 
 to be designated in conformity to the law, and the volunteer com- 
 l)anies, if tliere be any, to elect their field officers agreeal)ly to the 
 law. If the detachment be composed of both descriptions of mi- 
 litia, there is no explicit direction in the law for the selection of a 
 Brigadier General. In such case no other alternative presents itself 
 to nw mind at present, but that the Brigadiers General of the State 
 (their commissions bearing one date) do meet and draw lot for com- 
 mand, or that the detachment elect one. The former might be at- 
 tended with injurious delay. The principles of equity, as well as 
 I^ublie advantage, would seem to dictate the latter. 
 I am, sir, very respectfully, 
 
 Your friend and obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. JOHN KELSO. 
 
 Harrisbukg, October 21, 1812. 
 Gen. John Kelso, at Erie : 
 
 Sir : The short period of time within which Maj. Clark contem- 
 plated i)erforming his journey from this place to Meadville, led me 
 to lioi)e my letter of the 16th September would reach you in time, 
 so that 1 might have had your answer about the first day of this 
 present month, before which day I anticipated an answer, from the 
 Secretary at War, to my application to the President for aid in de- 
 fending our lake frontier. His answer I received the 25th Septem- 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 605 
 
 ber, and with much anxiety indeed, did I expect an answer from 
 you, because on it, principally, did I intend to predicate future 
 measures. 
 
 What I said relative to the employment, by the United States, 
 of the anticipated surplus force at Meadville in the defense of Erie, 
 seems to have been construed by you as dictating a delay of your 
 answer until it was ascertained whether a surplus would or would 
 not result out of the rendezvous at that place. I had at length 
 concluded that probably you accorded in opinion with the Secretary 
 at War, " that the several forces destined for Detroit and Niagara 
 would prevent any incursions of the enemy on Lake Erie." Your 
 letter of the 1st October, (which I did not receive until the 16th, 
 and which I could not answer by mail before to-morrow,) has un- 
 deceived me. 
 
 I have to regret that out of occurrences not within my control, 
 there may have happened an interval between the expiration of ser- 
 vice of tiiose of the militia on service under my orders of the loth 
 day of July last, and the arrival of any draft to supply them, unless 
 you have engaged volunteers to serve as you contemplated doing. 
 Believing with you, that with the end of next month the necessity 
 for any defense will cease, and persuaded that a regular draft from 
 the militia cannot be had in service much short of the period when 
 the necessity may cease to exist, I do, therefore, request, order, and 
 direct you to employ volunteers, if practicable, for the defence of 
 Erie, not exceeding a major's command ; that they be continued in 
 service to the 30th November next, if by you deemed necessary. I 
 feel confident that the Legislature will provide by law for the ex- 
 pense that maybe incurred, if it should be deemed not to come 
 within the provisions of the existing laws.

 To Maj. Samuel Wallicii : 
 
 Sir : Mr. Thomas Wharry, lieutenant elect of a rifle company 
 within the bounds of the Second battalion, Fifty-second regiment, 
 Pennsylvania militia, informs me that in consequence of the said 
 officers not having received their commissions, a fine has been im- 
 posed on the officers and men of the said company. In addition to 
 the suggestion contained in Mr. Trimble's letter, under date of Oc- 
 tober 8, 1812, 1 have to state explicitly that the reason why commis- 
 
606 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 sioiis did not issue, was because the return was not made by the 
 Brigadier Iiisi)ector, who is the proper officer to make return of mil- 
 itia oilicers elect, and to certify that thirty or more men were in 
 complete uniform. Hence, then, it was not in consequence of any 
 default or neglect of the officers or men composing the company, 
 that commissions were not issued. Under such circumstances tiie 
 field oUicers will judge of the justice or propriety of imposing fines 
 upon the ofiicers and men composing said company.

 To Ebenezer Denny, at Pittsburgh: 
 
 Sir : The Governor being absent from the seat of govenrment, 
 and will not return until sometime hence, I, in the meantime, con- 
 ceive it my duty to state to you, that no one viewed with more re- 
 gret than the Governor, the embarrassments which were likely to 
 attend the marching of the militia to the place of rendezvous in 
 consequence of the want of money. He had conceived that a liberal 
 construction of the militia law, would justify an advance to the 
 Brigade Inspectors, to enable them to meet the expenses thereof ; in 
 wliich opinion, liowever, he was opposed by the Auditor General 
 and State Treasurer. Thus circumstanced, he adopted the mode 
 mentioned in his general orders of the 25th of August, to which 
 mode all the Brigade Inspectors accommodated themselves, except 
 Maj. Cochran. If he will transmit a statment of his accounts in 
 detail, as other Brigade Inspectors have done, it will receive imme- 
 diate attention.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO J. INGERSOLL. 
 
 Harrisburg, November 21, 1812. 
 To J. Inoersoli., Esq. : 
 
 Sir : In consequence of a communication received from you in 
 July last, relative to certain persons charged with kidnapping and 
 carrying away certain free negroes from the city of Philadelpliia, 
 the Governor applied to the Governor of Maryland to have them 
 arrested. By a letter from him of the 5th ult., the Governor is 
 informed that one of them, Joseph Rock, is ari-ested, and ready to 
 be delivered to such agent as the Governor may appoint for that 
 purpose. I herewith inclose to you a commission appointing an 
 agent. There is a blank in the commission, which the Governor 
 requests you to fill with the name of any person you may think 
 proper. You will please to inform me, when convenient, of the 
 name you have inserted, in order to complete our record. I also in- 
 close to you a copy of a letter from Judge Scott to the Governor of 
 Maryland, also a copy of an affidavit made by one of the negroes. 
 As the Abolition Society take an interest in the affairs of free ne- 
 groes, it is probable that some of that society, being informed of the 
 situation of those negroes, who, it appears, have been put in prison 
 for their safe keeping, would take measures for relieving them from 
 their present situation. It is unjust that they should be kept in 
 confinement, having been charged with no crime. I have it also in 
 charge from the Governor to inquire what progress you have made 
 in consolidating the penal laws, in compliance with a request of the 
 Legislature at their last session.

 To Andrew^ Bratton, Esq., Captain of a Compayiy of Volun-

 istown : 
 
 Sir : Your letter of the 19th of the last month has been received 
 by the Governor, who applauds much the patriotism of the ofiicers 
 and men of your company, in tendering their services as volunteers, 
 
608

 at this iiiiiK>rtant crisis, in defence of their country's rights, so long 
 violated by an implacable foe, and he has no doubt of their readi- 
 ness to obey the call of the government, whenever their services 
 sliall be lawfully required; at present, however, there is no requisi- 
 tion unconiplied with on liis part. Before the commissions can be 
 obtained it sliould appear that the company has been organized, and 
 till' otlicers elected, in conformity with the fourth section of the 
 militia law passed the 9th day of April, 1807, and tlie second section 
 of tiie supplement act passed tlie 26th day of Marcli, 1808; as soon, 
 therefore, as the Brigade Inspector shall have made a return of the 
 election of tlie officers as duly held, and it is duly certified to the 
 Governor that tiie company is organized and equipped agreeably to 
 law, the commissions will be issued without any delay. 
 I am, sir, respectfully.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO .TARED INGERSOLL. 
 
 Habrisburg, February 12, 1813. 
 
 To Jared Ingersoll, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : Several depositions taken in a certain cause or causes now 
 before the Supreme Court, wherein the Commonwealth is plaintiff, 
 and James Harris and the representatives of the late Dr. Smith, and 
 perhaps others, are defendants, were put into hands of the Governor 
 by Benjamiu R. Morgan, who is of counsel for the defendants, with 
 a view to induce him to stop further proceedings against the de- 
 fendants by entering an exoneration on their contracts with the 
 former Governor Mifflin for making certain improvements. Mr. 
 Morgan left tliis place without having called on the Governor, as he 
 had said he would, to know his determination. On a perusal of these 
 depositions, it occurred to the Governor that the contracts referred 
 to and tiieir non-performance had, at one time, formed the subject 
 of complaint to the Legislature. Upon examination of the journal 
 of the House of Representatives of the session of 1801-2, it is found 
 that comi)laint was made— see page 141, again, page 187, same page, 
 Mr. Harris' letter, then a member of the Senate, in exculpation. It 
 appears that on the 5th February, 1802, Mr. Harris acknowledged 
 the delinquency of himself and the other contractors. It is remark- 
 able tliat the deponants above alluded to, studiously avoid mention- 
 ing dates. If, therefore, there is no proof that work was performed 
 subsequently to Mr. Harris' acknowledgment of delinquency, the 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 609 
 
 depositions ouglit not to avail anytliing. Mr. Burnside, your deputy 
 in Centre county, to wliom tlie depositions were delivered yesterday, 
 at the instance of Mr. Morgan, to a question to this effect : Whether 
 it had ever been attempted to prove that the finishing hand was put 
 to those contracts, or that any work whatever had been done sub- 
 sequently to Mr. Harris' acknowledged delinquency, answered there 
 was no such proof offered nor alleged. The reports of the agents 
 of information stand against the contractors uncontradicted. In- 
 deed, when the great length of time has elapsed since the public ex- 
 position of the contractors before the Legislature is taken into view, 
 and an attempt is now made to prove a discharge from the contracts 
 in a manner not warranted by the law that binds the State as well 
 as the contractor. The defense, grounded on depositions that may 
 justly be called exparte, (for the Commonwealth counsel was unin- 
 structed, and consequently unprepared to cross-question the wit- 
 nesses,) is too much to be relied on. 
 
 Understanding from Mr. Burnside the trial is to come on, on 
 Monday next, I have submitted to you the foregoing remarks by the 
 direction of the Governor. 
 
 I am, with respect,

 To Gen. William H. Harrison, Commander of the North-ioestern

 Sir : This clay, as you will perceive by its date, was approved an 
 act of the Legislature of tiiis State, contemplating a reward to 
 those of the brigade of Pennsylvania militia composing a part of 
 the north-western army, who shall continue in the field, under your 
 command, for two months longer than the period for which they 
 were detached for the service of the United States. 
 
 That each individual will be emulous most to deserve the applause 
 of their commander, I anticipate from the honorable testimonial 
 of correct conduct which your letter to me of the 9th inst., fur- 
 nishes, and I hesitate not to predict for them a perpetuation of hon- 
 orable fa me to posterity. Your letter to me of the 9th inst., furnished 
 the subject matter of a communication to the Legislature. The 
 embarrassment to which the Pennsylvania officers are subject, has, 
 unfortunately, grown out of our very imperfect militia system, and 
 I fear the Legislature under existing circumstances, is not compe- 
 tent to provide an appropriate remedy. I shall be happy to commu- 
 nicate a different result. Be pleased, sir, as soon as convenient, to 
 pronuilgiite amongst the interested, the contents and the object of 
 the law. The earliest possible attention shall be paid to the other 
 injunctions on the executive. 
 
 Accept, sir, assurances *

 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 March 6, 1813. 
 
 In order to the execution of the general orders of the Command- 
 er-in-Chief of yesterday, the Adjutant General directs the follow- 
 ing organization and officering of the detachment destined for the 
 service of the United States: 
 
 The detachment will be commanded by Lewis Rush, Colonel Com- 
 mandant, appointed and commissioned by the Governor. Under 
 him is to serve, in command, the marching Lieutenant Colonel and 
 marching Major from the First brigade of the First division, also 
 the marching Major from the Second brigade of said division. The 
 Lieutenant Colonel to have attached to him his Regimental Surgeon. 
 
 Ten captains, ten lieutenants, ten ensigns, as designated by law. 
 Ten second lieutenants and ten third lieutenants to be chosen agree- 
 ably to the act supplementary to the militia law passed March 29, 
 1813. The detachment to consist of ten companies of one hundred 
 men in each, officers and privates. Nine of said companies shall 
 be composed of the drafted infantry and one of artillery. Four 
 hundred infantry and one hundred artillery to be furnished by the 
 First brigade, and five hundred infantry from the Second brigade, 
 of said First division. 
 
 The Brigade Inspectors of the proper brigades will immediately 
 communicate these orders to the officers concerned, to use all legal 
 means to have the detachment at the place of rendezvous at the 
 time appointed ; to collect all the public arms within their respective 
 brigades, and therewith arm the detachment. If any should be un- 
 supplied it is presumed tliey will be furnished out of the United 
 States arsenal on loan. 
 
 Colonel Lewis Rush is hereby appointed my assistant to organize 
 the detachment, agreeably to law and the general orders ; and Col- 
 onel John Binns, aid to the Commander-in-Chief, is solicited to aid 
 and assist him therein.

 A convention of military officei'S of the First divi^n of Pennsyl-

 and adjacent country in this State, against any hostile attempt that

 Sir : The appearance of a British squadron having excited fears

 for the safety of the said city and the public and private property in 
 and near the same, and I having, under date of this day, issued or- 
 ders to hold in readiness a portion of the militia of that section of 
 the State, to defend, in case of actual invasion, the State ; it has, 
 therefore, become necessary to make provision for the supply of such 
 militia, as may be ordered into service under my said orders, with 
 ammunition and other munitions of war. I do, therefore, authorize 
 and require you, the said Wilson Smith, in your capacity as Quarter- 
 master General, to employ an agent at Philadelphia, and direct him, 
 in case an invasion of the State by the British shall happen, to pur- 
 chase ammunition and other munitions of war, for the supply of such

 have offered to loan to the State money, for the object specified in 
 the law, under which you have acted as agents of the executive. Not 
 having heard that the Farmers' and Mechanics' bank have agreed 
 to take a part of the loan, the note attached to Mr. Binns' letter of 
 the 26th instant, purporting to be a suggestion of the president of 
 said bank, that certificates of stock' for that institution might also 
 be issued by the State, needs explanation. The earliest information

 To Capt. Samuel Thomas : 
 
 SiK : In consequence of a requisition from the Secretary at War 
 
 of tlie United States, tlie Governor is about issuing general orders 
 
 for one thousand militia for the defence of Erie. He has instructed 
 
 me to order the artillery under your command to hold themselves 
 
 in readiness to marcli to Erie at the sliortest notice. You will, 
 
 therefore, with the least possible delay, make arrangements to march 
 
 your company as soon as you shall receive marching orders. It will 
 
 be uimecessary for you to take your piece of artillery, as there are 
 
 already four pieces at Erie in complete order. 
 
 By special order by the Governor.

 To N. B. Boileau, Aid -de- Cam o: 
 
 A re(iuisition having been made by the executive authority of the 
 General Government, that I would order on sei-vice, for the United 
 States, for the protection of our naval armament at the town of 
 Erie, in the county of Erie, within the limits of Pennsylvania, a 
 detachment of militia. Therefore, in compliance with the said re- 
 quisition, I order into the military service of the Union, to rendez- 
 vous at the said town of Erie, on or before the 20th day of April 
 next, a detachment to consist of one thousand men, to be drafted 
 fi-om the Eleventh, Twelftli and Thirteenth divisions, and of Cap- 
 tain Samuel Thomas' company of artillery, of the Ninth division, 
 who have patriotically volunteered their service to the Governor, 
 which detachment sliall be organized and officered agreeably to the 
 ndes and regulations that obtain in the army of the United States, 
 recognized by an act of the Legislature of this State, passed the 29th 
 inst., and agreeably also to the several other laws of this State rela- 
 tive to the militia, so far fortii as such laws will apply to and come 
 in aid of the orders of the Secretary at War, and the special provi- 
 sions of the said law of tlie 29th inst., of which detachment I have 
 constituted Bees Hill, Esq., of Greene county. Colonel, by commis- 
 sion, under the Great Seal of the State, who is to obey and execute

 all orders that issue to him from his superior officer of tlie United 
 States army. On the officers and privates under his command strict 
 obedience is enjoined to all his orders and commands, so long as the 
 detachment shall remain in the service of the United States. The 
 Commander-in-Chief, with pleasure and with pride, quotes from a 
 letter to him from General William H. Harrison, an encomium 
 highly to the credit of tlie detachment "of Pennsylvania militia 
 under his command, as worthy the imitation of our citizen soldiers: 
 "lean assure you there is no corps on whom I rely with more con- 
 fidence, not only for the fidelity of undaunted valor in the field, but 
 for those virtues which are more rarely found amongst the militia- 
 patience and fortitude under great hardships and deprivations, and 
 cheerful obedience to all commands of their officers."

 ordered into service of the United States, by tlie request of the Sec- 
 retary at War, one thousand militia to rendezvous at Erie, on or 
 before the 20th instant. Companies are ordered to march as soon

 Harrisburg, April 1, 1813. 
 To Deputy Quarter-Master General of the United States : 
 
 Sir : By direction of the Governor I inclose to you a copy of a letter 
 from the Secretary at War. In compliance with the requisition con- 
 tained in the letter, the Governor issued orders yesterday for one 
 thousand militia to rendezvous at Erie, on or before the 20th instant. 
 Companies are ordered to march as soon as organized, and expedi- 
 tiously as possible, to the place of destination. The detachment 
 will consist of nine hundred and thirty-five privates, one colonel, 
 one lieutenant colonel, two majors, ten captains, ten First, Second, 
 and Third lieutenants, ten ensigns, and one surgeon. The object 
 of this communication is to enable you to make arrangements to 
 furnish the necessary supplies at the time the detachment shall ar- 
 rive at Erie. A part, at least, will arrive before the 20th instant. 
 Wilson Smith, Quarter-Master General of this Commonwealth, will 
 be there to receive and receipt articles furnished.

 To Wilson Smith, Quarter-Master General: 
 
 Sir : In obedience to the requisition of the Secretary at War, the 
 Governor lias ordered out one tliousand militia, to rendezvous at 
 Erie on or before the 20th inst. A copy of the orders are enclosed. 
 The Deputy Quarter-Master General is ordered by the Secretary at 
 War to furnish the necessary supplies from Pittsburgh, You will 
 receive and receipt for the articles when they arrive. You will ren- 
 der every aid in your power to Colonel Hill, in effecting the object 
 of his appointment. If you apprehend there is not muskets and 
 cartouch-ljoxes enough at or in the neighborliood of Erie to supply 
 those of tlie troops that may arrive witliout them, you will endeavor 
 to ascertain wiiether or not they can be had out of the United States 
 stores at Pittsburgh. If not, you will give the earliest information 
 to tlie Governor, so that the deficiency may be supplied from this 
 place as soon as practicable. An artillery company is ordered from 
 Luzerne, say about fifty men ; they ought to have fusees. Could 
 they be had from Pittsburgh ? if not, they must have muskets, for 
 which they ought to have leather slings and bayonet scabbards, 
 which you will please to procure. 
 
 The Governor has written to the Secretary at War on the above 
 subject. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 lars, for the purpose of supplying the men under your command 
 witii necessaries on their march to the place of rendezvous, where 
 you will be furnished with a piece of artillery, fusees, or muskets, • 
 and necessary camp equipage. You will have forwarded to me a 
 receipt for the check enclosed. 
 
 I am also instructed by the Governor to direct you to march your

 GOV. SIMOX S^^YDER TO JOHN ARMSTRONG. 
 
 Harrisburg, April 1 , 1813. 
 To John Armstong, Esq., Secretary at War : 
 
 Sir : Enclosed I transmit to you a copy of my general orders of 
 the 31st March, predicated on your requisitory letter to me of the 
 20th of the same month, whicJi I received on the 27th, for a detach- 
 ment of one thousand militia, to rendezvous at Erie, on the 20th 
 inst., for the protection of the United States naval armament at 
 that place. Under our military system, it was not possible to have 
 executed literally and in detail your orders. Full Colonels are not 
 recognized in our law, nor have we Second or Third Lieutenants. 
 The short delay that has happened in the execution of both your 
 orders was occasioned by the necessity there was for legislative in- 
 terference, to make legal the organization and officering the detach- 
 ment, conformably with the United States requisitions. Such an 
 act being passed on the 29th inst., I hastened to execute your orders 
 for the Erie detachment on the 31st. Though not so directed, I 
 thought it of importance that some artillery should be of the detach- 
 ment. I did accordingly order a company, consisting of about fifty 
 men, commanded by Capt. Thomas, of well disciplined artillerists, 
 to march as a component part of the detachment. Agreeaby to your 
 request, the companies, as soon as formed, are ordered to march to 
 Erie. At Waterford, fifteen miles from Erie, remain four brass 
 field pieces, the property of the State, in prime condition ; these are 
 as many as there may be occasion for. Quarter-master Genera* 
 Wilson Smith, of Erie county, will furnish the company, if you so 
 direct. As it is probable a portion of- the men may appear at Erie 
 unarmed, I would suggest the propriety of orders from you to the 
 Superintendent of Military Stores at Pittsburgh, to furnish, on 
 loan, those that may be unsupplied amongst them. I wish there 
 may be fifty fuses for arming therewith the company of artillery, 
 whom I could not furnish, because we have not any of tliat species 
 of arms the property of the State. Having, previous to your first 
 orders, adopted measures preparatory to a defence of the city of 
 Philadelphia and the shores of the Delaware, and having no fears 
 for the safety of the city of Philadelphia, and the embarrassment 
 
620 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 above alluded to presenting itself, I delayed executing your orders 
 relative to that place. The difficulty being now removed, 1 shall 
 proceed to execute those orders also, unless otherwise directed by 
 the Executive of tiie Union. That the species of force is not pre- 
 scribed is, in some degree, embarrassing. 
 Accept of my high respect and consideration.

 ExECUTivK Department, Harrisburg, April 5, 1813. 
 To Col. John Phillips : 
 
 Sir : The Governor has directed me to inform you of his intention 
 to appoint you Paymaster or agent under the several acts relative 
 to the detachment of our militia now in the service of the United 
 States under Gen. Harrison. In your fitness and integrity he has 
 full confidence ; and in confidence that you will accept thereof, he 
 has directed me to forward to you a bond for your signature, and 
 that of two other gentlemen, as your sureties, in whom he can 
 have like confidence. This bond you will transmit signed, and at- 
 tested by witnesses, to this department. Copies of the two laws 
 under which you will have to act will be furnished you by the next 
 mail. It will be necessary, also, that you forward to this place a 
 letter of attorney, whereby in your capacity of agent or Paymaster 
 you authorize some friend here, say Mr. John Cochran, to receive 
 for you, and in your name, any sum of money that may be drawn 
 for, in your favor by the warrarit of the Governor on the State 
 Treasurer, for the purpose mentioned and contained in act entitled 
 "An .act to grant compensation, for extra services, to the militia 
 of the Commonwealth now in service under the command of Gen. 
 William II. Harrison," and of another act entitled "An act mak- 
 ing further provision for the militia and volunteers in this State in 
 the service of the United States. 
 
 Let the authority you vest in your agent be general as to the receipt 
 for you out of the Treasury of any sum that you may deem requi- 
 site, and the giving and signing of such acquittance as the State 
 Treasurer may require. Arrangements are now making so that you 
 can receive the requisite money at the Branch Bank at Pittsburgh. 
 You will apprise Gen. Crooks of your appointment, and direct him 
 to send the pay-rolls required to be furnished by him, to the agent 
 or Paymaster, at Pittsburgh. For the duties incumbent on you,

 you are referred to the laws under which you are to act in which 
 
 they are detailed.

 non-commissioned officers and private composing the detachment of 
 Pennsylvania militia, who shall have served under you the tour of 
 duty for which they were designated. The service required of you 
 is detailed in the law. I add my wishes that the requisite pay-rolls 
 may be furnished as early as possible to Colonel John Pliillips, whom 
 I have appointed agent or paymaster, directed to the care of the 
 postmaster at Pittsburgh, with a request to him to hand the roll or 
 rolls to Colonel Phillips, or such other person as may produce a com- 
 mission as agent or paymaster, under my signature and the seal of

 you had of procuring additional subscriptions, equal to one million 
 dollars, the sum contemplated to be loaned by the State of Penn-

 you to conntlete the negotiations already opened, and such as may 
 have been opened, or that you shall open, subsequent to the date of 
 your said communication, witli bodies politic, or individuals, for 
 the purpose aforesaid, and that you enter, or procure to have en- 
 tered, for me, the Governor of Pennsylvania, on the books opened 
 for the United States loan, in the common form, and on the terms 
 prescribed by the Secretary of the United States Treasury, a sub- 
 scription, on behalf of and for the State of Pennsylvania, of one 
 million of dollars, and that you make, as well, all other arrange- 
 ments, and do any and all such act and acts with the said Secretary 
 of tlie Treasury of the United States, as with the subscribers to the

 ments for the militia, or by the Governor, to be held in readiness to 
 march at a moment's warning against any enemy that may invade 
 the State, came to hand this morning. The Governor has just pe- 
 rused it, and has instructed me to say that general orders having 
 issued for the rendezvousing at Philadelphia of one thousand drafted 
 militia of the First division for the protection of the city and the 
 shores of the Delaware, under requisition from the constituted au- 
 thority of the United States, and this force being, as it ought to be, 
 at the disposition of the General commanding for the United States, 
 in the district, and the Governor deeming it adequate for all pres- 
 ent, and any reasonably anticipated exigency, he will, so soon as 
 the organization of the detachment shall be complete, countermand 
 his orders of the 20th March last, unless circumstances should im- 
 periously forbid it. And he directs that you will, in the interim, 
 incur no expense under theQuarter-Master General deputation with- 
 out special orders. About the arming and equipping of this detach- 
 ment, the Governor supposes there will be no difficulty, as the United 
 States have already establislied a precedent which it is presumed 
 will not be departed from in the present instance unless the system 
 should have been changed. The two detachments of Pennsylvania

 Gentlemen : Your letter to the Governor, under date of .the 2d

 that you could not have an answer in time to lay before those, who 
 in conjunction with yourselves have patriotically associated for the 
 l)urpose of defending against the British foe, the shores of the Del- 
 aware. An uncommon press of business has prevented till this 
 morning a reply by me (the Secretary being absent) to your queries, 
 I hasten to do it now, hoping it may yet be in time to carry the 
 means, and thus give effect to the zeal wliich animates the corps of 
 which you are members. 
 
 Querie isl. Will the Governor order the Brigade Inspector to fur- 
 nish the Chester volunteer company sixty muskets, with bayonets 
 and cartouch-boxes, upon their giving bond for the safe keeping, 
 and returning of the same within a specified time ? 
 
 Answer. The Governor will direct the late Brigade Inspector to 
 furnish you and sucli otheV two gentlemen, as will agree to enter 
 into bond for tiie safe re-delivery, and shall be approved by the Brig- 
 adier General, in your personal capacities, at a period to be fixed in 
 the condition of such bonds, sixty muskets and bayonets, and if 
 they can be procured, as many cartouch-boxes for the purpose of 
 arming therewith the company of volunteers of which you are mem- 
 bers. 
 
 Querie 2d. Will the Governor commission a volunteer company 
 who tender tlieir services merely for the local defence, and not for 
 a general purpose ? 
 Answer. There being no law warranting the officering any corps 
 
WAR OF 1S12-U. 627 
 
 for local defence, the Governor cannot grant commissions other 
 than is prescribed by law. Companies of volunteers have dissolved 
 themselves, and I know of no law, however irregular such practice 
 may have been, that provides a penalty consequent to such act. 
 
 A blank bond shall be forwarded to the Brig. Gen. William Brook, 
 with instructions to deliver the arms as soon as the same is duly ex- 
 ecuted and delivered to liim. 
 
 I am, respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 JAMES TRIMBLE, 
 Deputy Secretary.

 Secretary's Office, Harrisburg, April 7, 1813. 
 To William Brooke, Esq., Brigadier General of the Third Divi- 
 sion of Militia : 
 Sir : An application of Samuel Edwards and Thomas D. Ander- 
 son of Chester, in Delaware county, the Governor has agreed to loan 
 sixty muskets with bayonets, and, if they can be procured, as many 
 cartouch-boxes for the purpose of arming therewith the Chester 
 volunteer company of infantry, of which the said gentlemen are 
 members, provided Mr. Edwards and Mr. Anderson, with sucli other 
 two gentlemen (to be approved of by you) as will agree so to do, en- 
 ter into bond for the safe keeping and re-delivery of the said arms, 
 «&c., in good order in six montlis from the time of receiving them. 
 The Governor accordingly directs you to deliver, out of the number 
 you have in store, to Samuel Edwards and Thomas D. Anderson, or 
 to either of them, or to their order, sixty muskets with bayonets, 
 and as many cartridge-boxes, if you have them, upon the inclosed 
 bond being previously executed in due form by the above named 
 gentlemen and sureties, and delivered to you ; to be afterwards trans- 
 mitted to tliis office and filed therein. A copy of the letter written 
 to Messrs. Edwards and Anderson is inclosed. 
 
 I am, respectfully, 
 
 Your friend,

 To Wilson Smith, Quarter-Master General of the Militia of Penn- 
 syJrania, at Erie; in his absence, to Rees Hill, Esq., Colonel 
 commandant at that place. 
 
 Sir : Apprehenrting that few of the militia ordered to rendezvous 
 at Erie, in this month, will come supplied with cartridge-boxes, I 
 hasten to forward, by Archibald Kerr, of Green county, one thou- 
 sand. Tlie price of cartage agreed upon is $300, $100 thereof was 
 paid liim here. If he delivers them in good condition at Erie, you 
 will pay him the balance of $200. Your order for that sum on me, 
 written under his receipt, will be paid at sight. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your friend,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO COL. JOHN BINNS. 
 
 Harrisburg, \Zth April, 1813. 
 Col. Joiix BiNNS, Philadelphia: 
 
 Dear Sir : To save expense, and to allay an alarm unnecessarily 
 excited, I shall adopt the Baltimore system for defence. You may 
 expect orders to that effect in time to promulgate them on the 19th, 
 immediately after the organization shall have been completed under 
 Col. Rusli. Whether I shall order those that may remain under the 
 coniniand of Gen. Wharton, after that organization shall have been 
 effected, to be of the requisition as suggested by the President, un- 
 der date of the 7th inst., through the Secretary at War, and th.us 
 make up a detachment of two thousand men, I have yet under ad- 
 visement. The suggestions of the President have, I presume, growu 
 out of an opinion that I gave, tliat the city of Philadelphia was not 
 in any danger from any hostile attack meditated by the British 
 squadron then in the Delaware. 
 
 On the subject of the loan, I rely on your and Mr. Acheson's judg- 
 ment and sound discretion that, under the circumstances connected 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 629 
 
 with that delicate subject, no unnecessary expense will be incurred. 
 
 Faithfully yours, &c., 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 Harrisburg, Uth April, 1813. 
 To N. B. BoiLEAu : 
 
 The President of the Umted States, under date of the 7th inst., 
 having, through the Secretary at War, expressed the opinion that 
 the city of Philadelphia is not menaced by any imminent danger, 
 but that the shores of the Delaware, being liable to outrage, it might 
 be well to have a corps ready to repel attacks should they be made'; 
 that to fulfill both these purposes, it might be sufficient to organ- 
 ize, arm, and equip a corps of militia, and hold it ready to be called 
 into actual service, either wholly or partially, by the general officers 
 commanding the district. 
 
 According, in opinion with the President, and in order to prevent 
 a divison from other pursuits of a large portion of our citizens, by 
 ordering them into the field when there is no enemy to oppose, I do 
 revoke so much of the general orders of the 5th inst., as directs the 
 detachment ordered on service to rendezvous, on the 19th inst., at 
 Philadelphia, and I do order and direct that tlie organization of the 
 detachment and otHcering the companies, respectively, agreeably to 
 the Adjutant General's detail, attached to said orders of the oth 
 inst., be done and performed by Colonel Commandant Lewis Rush 
 within each battalion bounds, of which the First division is com- 
 posed, on the said 19tli day of April, and on any day or days before 
 the 27th inst. 
 
 The proper Brigade Inspectors are ordered to give notice to the 
 drafts of the battalions, respectively, of the day and hour on wliicli 
 the said Col. Rush will attend, for the organization and officering 
 of a company or companies out of such battalion. In the perform- 
 ance of which, it is presumed he will have the assistance of Col. 
 John Binns. 
 
 The duties incumbent on said Brigade Inspectors, and on the offi- 
 cers and men to compose the detacliment, it is fondly anticipated 
 will be performed with their accustomed zeal and alacrity. The 
 detachment being organized and equipped as directed, will hold it- 
 self in readiness for actual service in the field, and rendezvous for 
 that purpose at such time and place as Brig. Gen. Bloomfleld, the 
 commanding general of the district, shall order and direct.

 WAR OF 1812-U. 
 
 Col. Joliii Biiins, aid to the Governor, is directed to furnish a

 thereof to Col. Lewis Rush, and the Brigade Inspectors of First di- 
 vision of Pennsylvania militia.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO JOHN ARMSTRONG. 
 
 Hakrtsburg, A2)ril 15, 1813. 
 To John ArmstIiong, Esq., Secretary of War : 
 
 SiK : Immediately after the receipt of your letter of the 7th inst., 
 wh'wh I have the honor to acknowledge, I issued, under date of yes- 
 terday, general orders (a copy of whereof is herewith transmitted) 
 conformably to the President's opinion and wishes communicated 
 in your said letter. I had the less hesitation to revoke partially my 
 order of the 5tii inst., which are predicated on your letter of the 20th 
 March last, because the revocation will have been promulgated in 
 time to prevent the expense and loss of time that would have en- 
 sued uselessly by a rendezvousing of the detachment on the 19th 
 inst., as I had previously directed in general orders, of which a copy 
 is also herewith transmitted. To make up the number suggested 
 l)y the President as necesary to be held in readiness for service, I 
 should, in general orders of the Uth inst., have embraced the Phila- 
 delphia militia legion, who have heretofore patriotically tendered 
 their services to the Governor. This corps consists of horse artil- 
 lery and infantry, and is about one thousand strong, and consists 
 of residents within the city and liberties. But your letter of the 
 20th March expressly requiring drafted militia, and tlie laws of 
 Pennsylvania providing that volunteer corps shall be called into 
 service by companies or half companies, and not by drafts, added to 
 the ditllculties likely to arise if it were attempted to organize and 
 officer those volunteers agreeably to your requisitory letters of the 
 2(ith of March last, were considerations of weight sutBcient to dictate 
 a delay until I shall liave learned whether the President will recog- 
 nize the legion as of the detachment of two thousand men organized 
 and otlicered as it now is under the law or law^s of Pennsylvania. 
 Respectfully and with great sincerity, 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER.

 JAMES TRIMBLE TO GE:N. ALEXANDER OGLE. 
 
 Harrisburg, April 16, 1813. 
 
 To Alexander Ogle, Esq., Major General of the Twelfth Division 
 
 of Militia : 
 
 Sir : I acknowledged, for the Governor, the receipt of your orders, 
 dated the 7tli day of April, 1813, issued in your capacity of Major 
 General of the Twelfth division of Pennsylvania militia ; and am 
 directed to say, that the Governor has yet to learn that it was com- 
 petent for a Major General to issue orders revoking those of the 
 Commander-in-Chief. He has hitherto thought that all military 
 officers in subordinate situations were bound to execute, implicitly, 
 the lawful orders of their superior. 
 
 You need scarcely be told that four classes of any division may be 
 ordered into service, before it becomes the duty of the Commander- 
 in-Chief to order out the classes of another or other divisions. 
 I am, respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 JAMES TRIMBLE, 
 Deputy Secretary. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO JOSEPH WORRELL. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 7, 1813. 
 To Joseph Worrell, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : The Governor has adopted a plan of a State Arsenal, and 
 described the manner in which the work is to be executed, both of 
 which are put into the hands of Mr. Binns, where you can have an 
 opportunity of inspecting them. 
 
 You will perceive that it is necessary that the price for which you 
 would engage to execute the work, agreeably to the plan adopted, 
 should be stated. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU.

 X. B. BOILEAU TO FREDERICK FOERING. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 7, 1813. 
 Fi;kd'k Foering, Deputy Quarter-Master General: 
 
 SiH : Yours of May 4th 1 have received. Tlie Governor directs 
 that you should get the public arms mentioned in your letter com- 
 I)letely repaired, selecting tliose in the first ijistance that require the 
 least. You will endeavor to ascertain the expense that will oqcur 
 in having the remainder made fit for service, and give information 
 to this office. It will be necessary for you to inspect the arms after 
 tliey are repaired, and forward to the accountant department a cer- 
 tificate, with the account for repairs, that tliey are well done and 
 the cliarge of the workmen reasonable. AVith regard to supplying 
 the One Hundred and Fifty-fiftli regiment with arms, there is no 
 law autliorizing a furtlier distribution of arms. If, however, that 
 regiment, or any part tliereof, should be called into actual service, 
 furnisli them with such arms as you shall have repaired and fit for 
 service. Under a former law% the expense of repairing arms distri- 
 buted was to be defrayed out of tlie regimental funds; those funds 
 were generally inadequate. But this deficiency is supplied by the 
 proviso to the eleventh section of the supplementary act to the mi- 
 litia law, passed 29th March last, a copy of which, I expect, each 
 Brigade Inspector has received. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N.B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 X. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. ROBERT WHARTON. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 7, 1813. 
 To Gen. Robert Wharton : 
 
 Sir: Yours of the 27th ult., to the Governor has been duly re- 
 ceived. In answer to which I have to state that the present, as well 
 as former, complaint against the conduct of Andrew Nelson, ap- 
 pears to have originated with the same individual. 
 
 Wliile Mr. Israel, and many other respectable citizens who reside 
 in the neighborliood, have declared that tliey felt no apprehension 
 on account of Nelson's behavior. Nor have the dealers in powder 
 expressed any fears from his conduct, but, on the contrary, a long list 
 of them have certified tlieir entire confidence in Nelson. These cir- 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 633 
 
 cumstances seem to corroborate a statement made to the Governor, 
 that the individual above alluded to has a personal hostility to Nel- 
 son, and a desire to supplant him. I have also a letter now before 
 me, from Mr. Keimle, of the 31st ult., in which there is no charge 
 whatever alleged against Nelson. Under such circumstances the 
 Governor does not think it expedient or just to remove Nelson from 
 office. 
 
 If you shall have ascertained, through a respectable source, say 
 Mr. Israel and others living near the Magazine, that danger is really 
 to be apprehended from the conduct of the Inspector and Deputy 
 Superintendent, and will certify to that effect, the Governor will 
 talie prompt measures to prevent the apprehended danger. I must 
 also state that Dr. Keimle exculpates his deputy from all blame. 
 Neither does he apprehend tlie possibility of its being injured by an 
 incendiary from without. If tliere be danger, by a representation 
 thereof to General Bloomfield, he would, no doubt, direct a portion 
 of the militia under his direction to guard it. 
 
 The Major General, also, of the division has power, under the act 
 of 29th March last, to call out a sufficient number of militia, for a 
 limited time, to guard any place where danger is apprehended. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 Harrisburg, 3fay 8, 1813. 
 Preparatory measures having been adopted by the general govern- 
 ment to which it of right belongs, for defending the city of Phila- 
 delphia, and the shores of the Delaware against any hostile attempts 
 that may be made by the enemy. And it being ascertained that a 
 portion of the militia under the command of Col. Lewis Rush, or- 
 dered to be held in readiness for service, under a requisition of the 
 President of the United States, and subject to the orders of Gen. 
 Bloomfield, there commanding for the United States, is also subject 
 to the orders of Gen. Robert 'Wharton, under general orders of 20th 
 March last, from which circumstances, serious difficulties might 
 arise, if orders conflicting with each other should issue. And it be- 
 ing, moreover, now in the power of the proper Major General of the 
 division to order out for a peried of time such portion of the vol- 
 unteers or militia within his division, as he may deem necessary in 
 any case of emergency. I have therefore deemed it necessary that 
 my said orders of 20th March last, be revoked, and I do accordingly 
 
G34

 revoke the same. Col. Binns, my aid-de-cauip will communicate 
 
 this order to Gen. Wharton.

 GOV. SIM0:N SNYDER TO JAMES MADISON. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 10, 1813. 
 To James Madison, Esq., President of the United States: 
 
 Siu : I liasteii to forward to you a copy of a resolution of the se- 
 lect and couunon eoiuicils of the city of Philadelphia, and a copy, 
 also, of a letter to me by a committee for that purpose, appointed 
 by tliese bodies, from whicli, as also from a resolve by tlie latter, 
 fpublisiied in tlie Democratic press of Friday last,) contemplating 
 tlie appropriation of $30,000 out of the city fund for defence, it 
 would appear that an alarm of a very serious nature prevails at this 
 time at tliat place, founded, as it is stated, on the defenceless state 
 of tlie Delaware. 
 
 Permit me, sir, to their request, to add mine also. That such im- 
 mediate measures may be taken on the waters of the Delaware, and 
 preparatory measures for defence by land, as will, by their efficiency, 
 inspire the iiiliabitants of that important place with the confidence 
 of being fully prepared to repel any foe that shall have the temerity 
 to invade our property. 
 
 To any orders you may deem necessary to give, requiring my aid 
 in their execution, I promise the most prompt attention. 
 Sincerely and very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN SMITH. 
 
 Harrisburg, 3fay 11, 1813. 
 To John Smith, Esq., Marshal, Pennsylmnia district : 
 
 Sir : The Governor has a copy of a letter from you to the Adju- 
 tant General of the militia of Pennsylvania, in which you inform 
 him of the duties that devolve on you, as Marshal of the district, 
 in the collection of fines that may have been imposed by courts-mar- 
 tial on delinquent Pennsylvania militia men. That you " have to 
 
WAR OF 1S12-14. 635 
 
 request that he will direct, in all cases where the reports of courts- 
 martial are made to a deputy, that a transcript or duplicate may be 
 forwarded to you, in order to the better execution of the law." The 
 Adjutant General being absent at Erie, organizing a detachment of 
 Pennsylvania militia for the service of the United States, you can- 
 not have so early an answer from that officer as the service may re- 
 quire ; I have, therefore, been directed by the Governor to say that 
 the proceedings had against delinquents were had, at every instance, 
 under the law of Pennsylvania constituting the proper Brigade In- 
 spector and two assistants a court, to hear and determine on the 
 case of every delinquent. That the proceedings are not in accord- 
 ance with the act of Congress of 28th February, 1795, to which you 
 allude in your letter, is obvious. This conflict between the laws of 
 Pennsylvania and the United States occurred to him early last fall, 
 and was the subject of a correspondence between him and a mem- 
 ber of Congress. Nothing efficient, it is much to be regretted, was 
 done by Congress, nor could he obtain from the Executive Depart- 
 ment, through the same member, any satisfactory explanation or 
 construction of that part of the act of Congress which so evidently 
 conflicts with the State laws. 
 
 We^do not know, nor can the Adjutant General know, the depu- 
 ties you allude to. The several Brigade Inspectors have reported 
 their i)roeeedings to the Auditor General, from him, on application, 
 you can procure a list of delinquents — fined and exonerated — if you 
 believe it is competent for you to proceed for the recovery of such 
 fines, imposed under a law of the State not recognized by the act of 
 Congress of 1795. The Governor, feeling a strong desire that the 
 penalties of some one law should fall on the refractory and delin- 
 quent militia, and more especially as he has been repeatedly peti- 
 tioned for remission of fiiies imposed as aforesaid, and some cases 
 requiring the interposition of the proper authority, wislies that a 
 determination may be had, has, although the subject is not perhaps 
 officially before him, directed this communication. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 X. B. BOILEAU TO SAMUEL CARSWELL. 
 
 Harrisburg, 3Iay 11, 1813. 
 To Samuel Carswell : 
 
 SiK : Yours of tlie 7th nit., has been duly received by tlie last 
 evening mail. The Governor has written to the President of the 
 United States, agreeably to request contained in a letter received by 
 the same mail, addressed to him by a committee appointed for that 
 purpose, by tlic select and common councils, representing to him 
 the exposed situation of the city and its vicinity, in consequence of 
 tlie enemy's squadron in the Chesapeake, urging the particular at- 
 tention of tlie President to the subject. 
 
 Tie having just received important and unpleasant information 
 from Erie repecting the defence of that place and the United States 
 property there. Information being also communicated that a por- 
 tion of the militia have marclied from Chester county to opi)ose the 
 enemy in Maryland, and a serious alarm prevailing in Delaware 
 county, wliich he is preparing to dissipate by forwarding arms and 
 munitions of war, to enable the patriotic militia there to defend the 
 shores of the Delaware below, and thus form a barrier for the city. 
 All the concerns important in tlieir nature, and daily multiplying, 
 can be attended to by iiim at the seat of government only ; and until 
 he is fully ascertained that his presence is absolutely necessary at 
 any particular ])lace, it is his duty to remain at the seat of govern- 
 ment, where, with the necessary promptitude, he can attend to the 
 various calls made on him from different and very distant quarters 
 of the Commonwealth.

 Harrisburg, May 12, 1813. 
 To Mr. T. D. Axderson, Delaware county : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 7th ult., the Governor has received, and is pre- 
 paring to forward as early as practicable five or six hundred stand 
 of arms and cartouch-boxes from this place. He will also give im- 
 mediate instruction to Fredk. Foering, Deputy Quarter-Master 
 General, to supply you, whenever called on, with ammunition, if 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 637 
 
 not to be procured from the United States. With regard to tents 
 and other camp equipage, there is none belonging to tlie State 
 probably fit for use. He, however, has it in contemplation to have 
 them procured as soon as possible. At this season of the year, and 
 in a country so thickly settled, the men on service might, perliaps, 
 find shelter from any inclemency of the weather, in houses, barns, 
 or temporary huts. There were about one hundred and sixty old 
 tents, by order of Gov. Mifflin, delivered to the Board of Health, 
 in the year 1793. Mr. Foering will be instructed to ascertain their 
 situation, and such as are, if any, fit for use, to deliver them to your 
 Biigade Inspector or Quarter-Master. I herewith enclose to you a 
 copy of a supplement to the militia law, by which you will perceive 
 (Sec. 2) that the Major General is authorized to call " into actual 
 service, and to organize such portion of the volunteers or militia 
 within his division, as in his opinion the public safety may require." 
 He residing in the vicinity when danger is apprehended, will be 
 more competent to decide wliat number of men would be necessary 
 to order into the field than the Governor could be at so remote a 
 place, and could act more promptly, so as to meet the emergency. 
 To him, therefore, would it be most expedient to apply. You will 
 please to communicate the contents of this letter to Major Casper 
 Snyder, and also furnish the Major General with a copy. 
 Very respectfully,

 Sir : The Governor directs that you procure a sufficient number 
 of tents and camp kettles to accommodate a thousand men, includ- 
 ing officers, as early as practicable. That you will, also, ascertain 
 as soon as you can the number and situation of those tents which 
 were delivered by Governor Miffiin's order to the Board of Health, 
 when the yellow fever was in the city, say 1793. Such as are. fit for 
 use, and such as are worth repairing, have ready as expeditiously as 
 practicable, to be delivered when called on by Maj. Gen. Steel, Third 
 division Pennsylvania militia. Brigade Inspectors, or Quarter-Mas- 
 ters belonging thereto. You were, if I mistake not, instructed by 
 the Quarter-Master General to procure such munitions of war as 
 might be requisite in case of a call of militia into the service of the 
 
G38

 State, tlie expense not to exceed 5^5,000. If, under those instruc- 
 tions 'you have not procured lunmunition, you will please to attend 
 to it iiuinediately. Maj. Gen. Steel or some proper officer will in- 
 form you wliat quantity will be necessary, which you will deliver 
 wlicn called on for that purpose. 
 
 The Governor also directs you to contract with Mr. Henry Fraley, 
 of Germantown, for five hundred cartridge-boxes, bayonetbelts, 
 and scabbards, conformably to the sample he sent to this oflice, 
 wliicli he offered to make at the rate of $2 20 for box, belt, and scab- 
 l)ard. Inform me if yon think a greater number will be necessary.

 Major General James Steel : 
 
 Sir : I have much pleasure in the perusal of the communication 
 you made me, under date of the 9th inst., that a portion of the mi- 
 litia of your division have volunteered on an expedition to Marj'- 
 land, there to assist their fellow-citizens of the Union in repelling 
 the wanton aggression of a cruel and vindictive foe. 
 
 Acting as they do, under the impulse of a patriotic feeling, they 
 merit, and most assuredly will have, the applause of their country. 
 But it is to be regretted that, under our existing laws, the meed of 
 virtue will alone be their reward, there being no law of this State 
 nor of the United States under which pay can be claimed. 
 
 The act you did was not, I presume, by you considered as coming 
 within the provisions of the second section of a supplement to our 
 militia law passed the last session of the Legislature. 
 Accept assurances of sincere regard.

 Harrisburg, May 13, 1813. 
 Gen. Watson : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the lOtli ult., I received by this morning's mail. I 
 communicated to the Governor the contents of your letter. So far 
 as it relates to the ordering out of the militia from your division, 
 am instructed to say that you are to determine whether the present 
 case comes within the meaning of the second section of the supple- 
 mentary act passed at the last session. Under a Requisition of the 
 President of the United States, the Governor ordered one thousand 
 militia to be detached, organized, and reported to General Bloom- 
 field. This has been done. With a full knowledge of the movements 
 of the enemy, General Bloomfield has not thought it necessary to 
 order into actual service more than about three hundred and forty- 
 eight men of that detachment. Representations have also been 
 made to the Executive of the United States of the situation of the 
 shores of the Delaware, but no further orders have been received 
 by the Governor relative to their defence. Under tliese circum- 
 stances the Governor thinks it inexpedient, at present, to direct you 
 in the premises, he having no authority to order militia to march 
 out of the limits of the State. If the State of Maryland wishes aid, 
 General Bloomfield is the proper person to whom to apply. He can 
 order the men under his command to any point within the limits of 
 the United States at least.

 Sir : Yours to the Governor of yesterday was received by this

 volunteer companies of Lancaster, in marching to assist tlieir fellow 
 citizens of Maii'land, in repelling the wanton aggression of a cruel 
 and vindictive enemy. Acting, as you have done, under the impulse 
 of patriotic feeling you merit, and must assuredly have the applause 
 of your country. But it is to be regretted that under existing laws

 the meed of virtue can be your only reward, except it be received 
 from the .State of Maryland or the United States. The Governor 
 not beins competent upon his own anthority to order militia out of 
 tlie limits of the State. It is presumed you did not conceive your- 
 selves as acting under the provisions of the second section of the 
 supiilement to the militia law passed 29th March last. 
 Accept assurances of ray most jjrdent desire for yonr success, 
 
 honor, and personal safety.

 To James Dunlap, Esq., Inspector of First Brigade, Fourteenth 
 
 Division: 
 
 Sir: The letter signed by you and Mr. Huston of 21st nit., was 
 received by the Governor a few days since, relative to the collection 
 of flues imposed for non-performance of military duty. In answer 
 to which I have to state that it appears from a letter, a copy of 
 which is now before me, from Jolui Smith, the Marshal of the 
 Pennsylvania district, that he conceives it a duty devolved on him 
 to collect militia fines, which have or may be assessed by courts- 
 martial when called into the service of the United States, and di- 
 rects the Adjutant General in all cases to report to him the names 
 of the delinquents. The law of the United States, and of the State 
 differ as to the mode of assessing those fines. The Governor directs 
 me to write to the Marshal on the subject, which I have done ; un- 
 til an answer is received from him, the Governor thinks it inexoe- 
 dient to give any specific instructions to you in the premises. You 
 will please to communicate the purport of this letter to Mr. S. Hus- 
 ton. 
 
 Very respectfully,

 To Gen. Adamson Tannehill : 
 
 Sir : I should long since liave acknowledged the receipt of the 
 letter you did me the honor to write, under date of the — , but re- 
 served my answer until I sliould have from you, or from the i)roper 
 otRcer under your comman<l, information more intimately connected 
 with the service than your letter imports, and involving much the 
 pecuniary interest of the State of Pennsylvania. Disappointed iu 
 that expectation and conceiving it my duty so to do, I do now ask 
 for information relative to the arms in possession of the troops under 
 your command, the property of the State. How many of those arms 
 remained at Buffalo, in the State of New York, whether they were 
 deposited in any United States arsenal, and by an officer of that 
 government receipted for ? So that in the event of a settlement of 
 accounts between this State and the United States, and, in a gen- 
 eral point of view, I should be glad to learn whether there have come 
 to your knowledge any expenses incuried by this State that ought, 
 of right, be borne by the Union. 
 
 Very respectfully yours, etc.,

 To Casper Snyder, Esq., of Delaware: 
 
 Sir : This day, by order of the Governor, three hundred and fifty 
 stand of arms and three hundred cartouch-boxes have been for- 
 warded to Chester, for the use of your brigade, or those generally 
 belonging to the Third division of Pennsjdvania militia, when called 
 into actual service. Should tlie muskets be delivered to the men 
 going into service, you will be careful to take accountable receipts 
 from the proper officer who commands them. Presuming that 5'ou 
 would not be at Chester when the wagoner would arrive there, he 
 has been directed to deliver them to Mr. Engle, the Prothonotary 
 of your county, wiio is requested to take charge of them until you 
 arrive there. If you and the general officers of the division think 
 more arms are necessary, they can be had at this place, by sending 
 a team for them. It is with great difficulty, and after three or four

 days" search, we have been able to procure a single wagon. We pay 
 $1 25 per cwt. Should you send for more muskets and boxes, a rea- 
 sonable expense will be paid by the government at this place. It is 
 to be understood that the muskets and eartouch-boxes are not the 
 subject of distribution under any law of the State. The crisis ap- 
 jtearing to demand it, the Governor has taken upon himself the re- 
 sponsibility of furnishing you with those means of defence. To 
 your sound discretion lie commits tliat public property.

 To Joseph Engle, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : Tiiis day, by direction of the Governor, tliree hundred and 
 fifty stand of arms and tliree hundred cartouch-boxes were sent, by 
 a wagon, to be delivered at Chester county, of Delaware. As the 
 Brigade Inspector lives some distance from Chester, it was thought 
 advisable to send the muskets, &c., to your care. You will please 
 to take charge of them until the Brigade Inspector arrives at Ches- 
 ter. The wagoner will want a receipt from you for the safe deliv- 
 ery of the articles, as a voucher for him to get compensation for his 
 services. I have written to the Brigade Inspector, informing him 
 that tlie muskets and cartouch-boxes are forwarded to your care. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Sec7-etary. 
 P. S. — After loading the three hundred and fifty muskets, it was 
 found tlie wagon would not contain more than three hundred boxes. 
 It was thought the deficit of boxes would not be so material as that 
 of muskets.

 Dear Sir : I herewith enclose bond to be executed by Messrs. 
 Worrell and Forsyth, with their sureties. There is a blank for their 
 names, also some blanks for dates, which you will have filled. You 
 will also, before the bond is executed, attach it to the plan descrip- 
 tion in your possession, so that the subscribing witnesses cari attest 
 that it was so attached at the time of signing. After the bond is 
 executed, you will please to forward it, with the papers attached, to 
 this office, giving the undertakers an opportunity of first taking a 
 copy thereof. The following you will have endorsed on the paper 
 containing a particular description of the arsenal, and have the un- 
 dertakers' signatures thereto, viz: "We, the subscribers, do agree 
 to erect a State arsenal on the lot on which the old one now stands, 
 in conformity to the foregoing description and plan, for the sum of 
 fourteen tliousand two hundred and four dollars, and to take the 
 materials contained in the old arsenal, at the rate of three hundred 
 dollars, in part of the aforesaid sum of fourteen thousand two hun- 
 dred and four, and to complete the said arsenal, with all things 
 thereunto pertaining, within six months from the date tliereof." 
 
 Witness our hands this . . day of , A. D. 1S13. 
 
 Witness present at signing. 
 
 The law requires the Governor to take security for the failhfuU 
 performance of the contract. None have been named by]Mi'ssrs.

 such only as the Governor would approve.

 Sir : That you have, under the act of Assembly authorizing you so 
 to do, ordered on service two companies of the militia of your divi- 
 sion, for the protection of the lake shore, the town of Erie, and the 
 public property there, until the arrival of the troops under the com- 
 mand of Col. Reese Hill, shall have rendered unnecessary the longer

 service of those companies, has my full and entire appi-obation. 
 Not so tlie men designated for the service, wlio, at a time of immi- l|| 
 nent danger refused obedience to your orders. I cannot in idea 
 ])receive the circumstances tliat would warrant such palpable in- 
 subordination. If connived at, it will prove destructive to the ser- 
 vice, and as shamefully disreputable to the militia of Pennsylvania, 
 as did the conduct of some volunteers at Buffalo, in the >tate of 
 Xew York. I have no directions to give. The law directs the 
 course to be pursued in this case. I trust its provisions applied to 
 those outrageously refractory men will be an example such as shall 
 deter from similar acts of open hostility to the lawful and regular 
 orders of the Government. 
 
 I am, with much respect, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 Harrisburg, Ifay 21, 1813. 
 To Gen. R. Wharton, Philadelphia: 
 
 Sill : I received yours of the 17t!i instant yesterday. Some ex- 
 pressions in it prompted me to review what I have written to you 
 under date of the 8th, in which I can discover no insinuations im- 
 peaching yonr respeclahiliti/ T and I am conscious none were intended. 
 But the ref'pectnbilHy of your informant, and the purity and disin- 
 terestedness of his motives has been strongly impeached, not only 
 by letters before me at tiie time I wrote, but by a considerable num- 
 ber received since from men whose character and respectability 
 would not suffer by a comparison with Col. Hargesheimer's, or per- 
 haps any man's in the city, and by men, too, who live in the imme- 
 diate neighborhood of the magazine, who, no doubt, feel as much 
 solicitude for their own personal safety as he does. You stated in 
 your former letter that you had " requested him to get their (those 
 who he said were much alarmed) declarations in writing, wliich he 
 promised to do, but has not yet performed." Hence may it not be 
 inferred tliat his alarms are feigned, or the effects of a disordered 
 imagination.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO FREDERICK FOERING. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 22, 1813. 
 To Frederick Foering, Deputy Quarter-master General: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 19th I received yesterday, not being instructed 
 to answer you in every particular, I have forwarded your letter to 
 the Governor, now at Selinsgrove. Immediately on receiving his di- 
 rections, I shall write you again. In the meantime I can answer you 
 in part. When the articles you contracted for are furnished, and 
 the repairs of arms, tents, <!fcc., are done, you will forward to me the 
 several accounts certifying that you had received the articles speci- 
 fied, tliat you had employed such persons to do such repairs, and the 
 charges reasonable, on each of their accounts an order for me to re- 
 ceive for them the amount from the State Treasurer. I will then 
 inclose to you a check sufficient to cover the whole expense, to en- 
 able you to discharge them. The tents which you were instructed 
 to get repaired and to purchase, and the other munitions of war 
 were designed to supply such of the militia as were called into the 
 State service, and not those called in the service of the United 
 States, unless in such cases where they could not get a supply from 
 the United States stores. 
 
 With regard to those who have furnished tliemselves with equip- 
 ments, I have to remark, that it was manifestly the intention of the 
 law, that tiie arms and accouterments purchased by individuals 
 was not merely for parade, but to be used when called in actual ser- 
 vice. If, however, lost in such service, without the fault of t'ae own- 
 ers, it would be a just and equitable item of account against this 
 State or the United States, and no doubt allowed. The law pro- 
 vides expressly for the payment of horses belonging to cavalry, if 
 lost in the service, and I do not perceive any reason to discriminate 
 between the loss of a horse and a cartouch-box. The worth of the 
 two articles certainly differ, but perhaps not more than the loosers, 
 as it might regard their abilities to bear it. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 To Col. William Duane : 
 
 Sir : The boxes containing tlie hand-books for Infantry and Rifle- 
 men have been received. I informed the gentleman who spoke to 
 me on the subject of inserting the plates that were left out that the 
 person wlioni he might employ to insert them could have access to 
 the liooks at any time, for that purpose. He has not yet done it, 
 nor do I know tiie person employed. 
 
 The same act directing the purchase of two thousand copies for 
 the use of the Infantry, also designates what officers shall be supplied 
 with them. On examination, we find thei-e will be a deficit of about 
 sixty. I have, therefore, to request that you would send the num- 
 ber by the first conveyance. Your account for which, togetiier with 
 that for those already furnished, will be paid whenever exhibited to 
 the accountant department by any person you authorize to receive 
 the same.

 Sii; : I send you enclosed a check for $2,362 50, for which I have 
 given the State Treasurer my receipt ; for that amount the entry is 
 made in the Treasury books. On the receipt of the enclosed check, 
 you will please to send me another receipt, corresponding in date 
 and amount with the check. I will then return to you the former 
 receipt ; in tlie meantime it must remain in the hands of the Treas- 
 urer. The foregoing circumstances arise out of a mistake on my 
 part or yours. The law authorizes the purchase of not more than 
 one hundred hand-l)ooks for riflemen, the surplus I must return to 
 you. Please to turn to my letter and see if the mistake was mine. 
 If so, the books will be returned at my expense. On counting the 
 •books carefully, it appears that we have received one hundred and 
 ninety-nine copies of the hand-book for riflemen. Perhaps one copy

 To Robert Williams, Esq., Adjutant General of the Militia of

 Sir : Your letter of the 30th ult., addressed to the Adjutant Gen- 
 eral of the Militia of Pennsylvania, came to hand yesterday. That 
 office has recently become vacant by the death of General Reed, who 
 held it about three years. The vacancy not being filled, I undertake 
 to answer your letter by sending you, herewith enclosed, an extract 
 from our militia law of 1S07, now in operation, and a copy of a sup- 
 plement thereto, passed in the last session of our General Assembly, 
 fixing the salary and emoluments of the Adjutant General, and pre- 
 scribing his duties. This information, I hope, will answer fully the 
 object you have in view. 
 
 I am, respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your most obedient servant,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO COL. JOHN PHILLIPS. 
 
 Selins Grove, July 8, 1813. 
 To Col. John Phillips : 
 
 Sir : The letter you did me the honor to write, under date of the 
 15th June last, I received on the 6th instant at this place, via Har- 
 risburg. That no provision has been made for paying the Pennsyl- 
 vania militia, now in service of the Union at Erie, is matter of much 
 surprise to me, and I have to regret that the remissness of those 
 whose duty it certainly was to make an arrangement so essential to 
 the service, cannot be remedied by any constituted State authority. 
 It is not competent under any existing law for the executive to ad- 
 vance money out of the Commonwealth's treasury to pay troops in 
 the United States service. The several laws of last session relative 
 
(;4s WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 to military subjects, have no prospective provision. Legislative 
 bounty is extended to those of our militia then in service under Gen. 
 Harrison, consisting of drafts and volunteer companies who had 
 made a tender of their services to the President. 
 
 On another point made in your letter, I must remark that it can- 
 not have been the intention of the Legislature that the executive 
 should notify of the State donation the individual commandants of 
 the latter description of troops, because they are not officially known 
 to tiie executive department of the State. Gen. Harrison was fur- 
 nished with official copies of the laws passed for the relief and ben- 
 etit of tiie Pennsylvania troops of both descriptions under his com- 
 mand, for tlie purpose of promulgation — so was Gen. Crooks. On 
 tiie latter it was specially enjoined to procure pay-rolls, as well of 
 those men that served six months as of those that served for an ad- 
 ditional period of time. Notwitlistanding this injunction and the 
 solicitude of the government to have those documents which he 
 must have inferred from the circumstances of duplicates being for- 
 warded to him, yet, from Gen. Crooks, there was not received any 
 acknowledgement of the receipt by him of these communications at 
 the time I left Harrisburg. 
 
 Please to communicate to Col. Rees Hill and Quarter-master Gen- 
 eral Wilson Smith, (who have both written to me on the same sub- 
 ject with yourself,) the contents of this letter, and assure them both 
 of my sincere regard, confidence, and esteem, and for yourself ac. 
 cept similar assurances.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO COL. C. J. HUTTER. 
 
 ILVRRISIJURG, July 23, 1813. 
 To Col. C. J. HuTTER, Easton : 
 
 Sir: To your letter to the Governor, of the 10th inst., I am in- 
 structed to give you the following answer : The arms manufactured 
 by Mr. Henry have been, by direction of tlie Governor, removed to 
 this place ; and a number sufficient to supply the infantry company 
 you mention will be delivered here, to any agent that the officers of 
 tiie company may authorize to receive them, upon condition that 
 the said officers give bond for their re-delivery, whenever called for 
 by the proper authority, in as good repair as when they received 
 them. 
 
 The agent may make his own selection out of the muskets that 
 are liere, of which there are more than sufficient that are in good 
 repair, except that they may need a little cleaning and oiling. With 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 649 
 
 respect to repairing those fifty stand you mention, if there are not 
 regimental funds adequate to the expense of repairing them, tliey 
 must remain as they are until further orders from the Governor. 
 Should the officers think proper to apply for arms under the above 
 conditions, it is proper to state that a musket is estimated at eleven 
 dollars. The penalty in the bond double the arnount. Tiie bond, 
 therefore, if sent, will be drawn agreeably to the above estimate.

 May last, respecting the collection of fines imposed on delinquents, 
 for non-performance of their tour of militia duty. 
 
 I presume your great press of business has prevented you from 
 answering my letter. As I have frequently been applied to by Bri- 
 gade Inspectors for instructions with regard to collecting those fines, 
 and declined answering their enquiries until I heard from you, will 
 you permit me to request your attention to the subject, and write as 
 early as time and opportunity will permit.

 Sir : Having been absent from the seat of government, I did not 
 get j'ours of the 2d inst., until Friday last. You wiU accept this as 
 an apology for my not acknowledging the receipt of your letter 
 earlier. I now enclose you a check in favor of Mr. Calderwood for 
 $49 12, and one in favor of Lewis Ghriskey, or bearer, for $95 09. As 
 you have advanced him the money, you can draw the money on his 
 
650 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 clieok. For this last check T was obliged to give my own respons- 
 ible receipt, as I had no order from Ghriskey to draw the money. 
 Voii will, therefore, please to get his receipt, a form of which I will 
 subjoin. 
 
 Tiie account of Calderwood for storing arms, is suspended until 
 he forwards a certificate from Clement Biddle, stating the times 
 when the arms were delivered to him. He will also send me an order 
 to receive tiie amount. In answer to your last inquiry, I state tiiat 
 those persons wliom you may have employed to repair arms will 
 please to forward their accounts, with an order for me to receive 
 from the State Treasurer the amount of their bills. Those from 
 wlioni you may purchase articles for the use of the State, or wiio 
 have been employed to make or repair tents, will forward their ac- 
 counts to me, and if they have sufficient confidence in me, may at 
 the same time send me a receipt for the amount of tlieir bill, a copy 
 of wliicli receipts, I will also subjoin, or they may furnish me with 
 their bills in tiie first instance, and I will send tlie amount to you, 
 you taking tlieir receipts at the time of payment.

 Sir : Yours of the 13th ult. I recently received. I regret that I 
 cannot send you the money you wanted immediately, to enable you 
 to defray certain expenses that liave been incurred. Gen. Mead in- 
 formed tlie Governor that he liad made a call on tlie militia to march 
 for tlie defence of Erie, until Col. Hill's detachment should arrive, 
 and that they had refused to obey his orders. It would, however, 
 appear, from your letter, tliat, subsequently, a number did marcli to 
 Erie for its defence. It will be necessary for Gen. Mead to inform 
 the Governor wiiat number of men did march by his order, and how 
 long tliey served. It will also be necessary to forward muster and 
 pay-rolls. These you can obtain from the officer who commanded 
 the detachment, if you have them not already in your possession. 
 When these documents are furnished, arrangements will be made, 
 with the least possible delay, to discharge the expenses incurred.

 extract from his letter to me : " Mr. Farrelly I think has pursued a 
 correct course. As he has given notice to the Attorney General of 
 what is done, and asked his opinion, it will be useless to say more 
 to him in answer than to commend his vigilance, &c. Please to do 
 this for me." 
 
 I received a communication from Gen. Mead to the Governor, a 
 few days since, with regard to the call of the militia for the defence 
 of Erie. I immediately forwarded the papers to the Governor, and 
 expect daily to see him here, and to receive instructions from him 
 relative to the subject, which will be promptly attended to.

 propriate in defraying of the expenses incurred by the marching of

 Gen. Mead. The expenses that have and may occur, after their ar-

 Meadville, August 27, 1813. 
 N. B. Boileau, Secretary: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 10th inst., inclosing a check on the Branch 
 Bank of Pennsylvania, in Pittsburgh, for $700, came to my hand 
 yesterday, a receipt for which is herewith inclosed. The number of 
 troops which rendezvoused ;at Erie, in pursuance of the orders of 
 Maj. Gen. Mead, as appears from proi)er muster-rolls, amounts to 
 upwards of sixteen hundred, which will average six rations per man 
 on their marcli to Erie, provided they are allowed for two days' ra- 
 tions before marching, and for which they demand i)ayment of me. 
 The law says pay two days before marching; but is silent as to ra- 
 tions. Sixteen hundred men under rations for six days will amount 
 to nine thousand six hundred rations, which, at seventeen cents per 
 ration, (the lowest a ration could be procured for, beside the trouble 
 of issuing,) amounts to $1,300, to this must be added bills for ferri- 
 age, fuel for troops, &c., on their march to Erie. From this state- 
 ment yon will see the additional sum necessary. The United States 
 Contractor furnished many of the troops with back rations due them 
 on their march, which, from the manner of their march, was im- 
 practicable for me to furnisli. For these rations I have to pay sev- 
 enteen cents per ration. All money furnished me for these expenses 
 shall be duly accounted for as soon as I am enabled to lift the proper 
 vouchers.

 To Jared Ingersoll, Esq., Attorney General: 
 
 Sir : In consequence of the seeming collision, at least between 
 the laws of this Commonwealth and those of the United States, on 
 the subject of collecting fines incurred for non-performance of tours 
 of militia duty, considerable difficulties liave occurred whether the 
 Marshal or the Brigade Inspectors ought to collect them, and, of 
 course, whether this money shall go into the Treasury of this State 
 or that of the United States. Shall I ask the favor' of you to ex- 
 amine the subject and give me your opinion in order to enable me 
 to give specific instructions to the several Brigade Inspectors who 
 have applied to me for that purpose. I will be much obliged to your 
 early attention to the subject. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO COL. WILLIAM McCORMICK. 
 
 Harktsburg, September 18, 1813. 
 To Col. William McCormick, Fayette county: 
 
 Sir : The petition to the Governor signed by you and a number 
 of tlie odicers of tlie One Hundred and Eighth regiment, has been 
 received. 
 
 In consequence of a collision between the laws of this State and 
 those of the United States, relative to tlie collection of fines for non- 
 perforlnance of tours of militia duty, considerable embarrassments 
 have arisen. The Marshal of tiie United States, for the Tennsyl- 
 vania district, conceived it to be his duty to collect those fines. He 
 has, however, submitted the question to Mr. Dallas, the district 
 Attorney Geiu^ral of the United States, for his opinion, and prom- 
 ised to furnish a copy of it when obtained. I have also asked the 
 Attorney General, Mr. Ingersoll. for liis opinion on the Si}.me subject. 
 Wlien those opinions are received, I shall lay them before the Gov- 
 ernor, and then, without delay, give such instructions to the proper 
 Brigade Inspectors as the Governor may direct. Tlie Governor is 
 equally aware, with yourselves, of the evils that would result if de- 
 linquents were permitted to escape with impunity. You will please 
 to communicate the contents of this letter to the gentlemen who 
 signed the petition.

 Governor was directed to present to Commodore Decatur and Lieu- 
 tenant Biddle, eacli, a sword, for the distinguished gallantry and 
 skill in tlieir engagements with the enemy. The Governor informs 
 me tiiat he entrusted to you the business of procuring their swords, 
 and now instructs me to write to you, requesting you to have them 
 completed as early as practicable, and to give him information 
 thereof.

 To William Clark, Esq., Inspector of the First brigade. Sixteenth 
 division, Pennsylvania militia: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 27tli ult., has beeu received. I now enclose to 
 you a check, payable at the Branch Bank of Pennsylvania, at Pitts- 
 burgh, for eight hundred dollars, which sum you are to appropriate 
 exclusively to defray the expenses incurred in furnishing tlie mili- 
 tia, on their march to Erie, with sustenance, under the call of Gen- 
 eral Meade. Their expenses while there and returning home are to 
 be paid through anotlier channel. Altliough tiiey are allowed pay 
 for two days previously to tlieir marching, no rations are allowed. 
 You will understand, also, that the call made by Colonel Wallace 
 not being aucliorized by law, any expenses incurred under that call 
 cannot be paid without a special act for that purpose. 
 Vei-y respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 I^. B. BOILEAU,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO WILSON SMITH. 
 
 Harrisburg, September 20, 1813. 
 To Wilson Smith, Esq., (Quarter-Master General: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 31st ult., has been received. You will proceed 
 to pay, as far as you have money in your hands, for the rations fur- 
 nished by the contractor to the militia called out by General Meade, 
 while they were at Erie, at the rate agreed on, say seventeen cents 
 per ration. You will ascertain whether or not the rations furnished 
 were complete. Those men who were called out by Colonel Wal- 
 lace, and who were included in the call of General Meade, and who 
 were supplied with rations after the call of General Meade, their 
 rations, for that time, you are authorized to allow ; but as Colonel 
 Wallace's call was not authorized by law, any expenses incurred 
 under Colonel Wallace's call only cannot be paid without a special 
 act of the Legislature for that purpose. 
 
 It lias been intimated by Major Clark that the mei!i claim two 
 days' rations prior to the day of marching, this cannot be allowed. 
 This, however, is a matter between Mr. Clark, themselves, and the 
 accounting officers, in which you have no direct concern. 
 
g56 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 With ipfjard to the rations for the men on their return home, for 
 whicli JklrrForster commuted, and gave them fourteen cents, I have 
 to observe that you are autlit)rized to refund him the money which 
 he paid, with interest, if lie demands it. It must be presumed it 
 was patriotism that induced Mr. Forster to advance the money, and 
 not any desire to speculation. It cannot be supposed that he in- 
 tended to charge the Commonwealth seventeen cents for rations 
 which actually cost him but fourteen cents. If he does insist on 
 sucli charge, I doubt the allowance of the accounting officers. As 
 soon as you have ascertained, as near as may be, the additional sum 
 necessary for you to settle tlie accounts, and give me information, 
 the necessary arrangements will be made for that purpose. 
 Very respectfully.

 To William Duncan, Esq., Adjutant (feneral, Pennsylvania Mi- 
 litia : 
 
 Dear Sir : Your letter of the 25th ult., covering a bond in five 
 thousand dollars, with John Shinn, Jr., and Amos Addis, as sure- 
 ties, for your faithful discharge of the duties of the office of Adju- 
 tant General of the Militia of this State, has been received, but has 
 not yet been submitted for the Governor's approbation, he being at 
 present at Selinsgrove. Immediately on his return I will hand it 
 to him, and have no doubt of his approving of it, as it appears to 
 me to be suthciently formal. 
 
 1 have to intimate to you the Governor's wish, that you would, 
 as soon as you conveniently can, repair to General Reed's late resi- 
 dence, at Millerstown, in Adams county, or at Greensburg, in 
 Westmoreland county, and procure any papers that maybe found 
 belonging to the Adjutant General's Department. John Reed, Esq., 
 attorney-at-law, residing at the latter place, can give information 
 respecting the papers of the said department, as tlie settlement of 
 his late father's affairs devolves on him. Upon your arrival here 
 tlie reports and papers recently from Brigade Inspectors into this

 office, but appertaining to your office, will be delivered over to you, 
 some of which may require immediate attention.

 Sir: Y'our letter of the 23d ult., has been received, and in the 
 absence of Mr. Boileau, I am directed to inform you that the Gov- 
 ernor would, with much pleasure, order commissions to be issued to 
 the officers of so patriotic a company of volunteers as the one men- 
 tioned in your letter ; but tliat it does not appear to what battalion 
 and regiment of the brigade the company is attached, nor whether 
 the officers and men are in complete uniform, &c., either according 
 to the provisions of the third section of the original Militia law 
 passed 9th April, 1807, or the second section of the supplemental 
 law passed 26th March, 1808, all which should be certified by the 
 Brigade Inspector, who is also required by law to make a return of 
 tlie election of officers. The number of men associated, being fifty- 
 six, appears to be sufficient, and whenever it is certified that the 
 other requisites of the law are complied with, the commissions will 
 will be issued without delay.

 most sincerely regret, both as a personal friend, and valuable citi- 
 zen.) If you think proper to furnish me with a memorandum of 
 tlie books and papers forwarded, I will, on comparing it witli those

 you a receipt for tlie same from Mr. Duncan. You will enclose them 
 in a box if they are voluminous, and direct it to me at this place.

 proper, and I will defray the expense. Permit me to ask your early

 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 Harrisburg, October 29, 181.3. 
 WiLijAM Di'XCAN, Acljutant Generalofthe Militia of Pennsylvania: 
 Whilst it affords the Commander-in-Chief high gratification to say 
 to those of tlie militia of Pennsylvania who performed the service 
 required in the field, against a malignant foe, deserve well of their 
 country a respect for the military reputation of the militia com- 
 mands, on tlie otlier hand a strict enforcement of the laws making 
 penal a refusal to march, or punishing desertion. Under these im- 
 pressions I do order that you immediately direct the several Brigade 
 Inspectors from whose brigades as w^ell volunteers as drafted militia 
 w^ere ordered for tlie service of the United States, agreeably to the 
 several requisitions from those who administer that government 
 under the several general orders by the Commander-in-Chief, dated 
 respectively of May 12, 1812, August 25, 1812, September 5, 1812, and 
 March 20, 1813, and of April 5, 1813, that they severally and respect- 
 ively institute prosecutions against, as well those of the militia who 
 were delinquent in not marching as against those who, after having 
 marcelled, deserted the service. And that the respective presiding 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 659 
 
 oflficers of courts-martial certify and report witliout delay the fines 
 assessed and on wliom, to the martial of the district of Pennsylvania. 
 A reference by you to the laws of the United States prescribing the 
 duty to be performed by those officers and by courts-martial, may 
 very much facilitate inquiry, and result in an early termination of 
 this imnortant service.

 If. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. WILLIAM DUNCAN. 
 
 Harrisburg, October 30, 1813. 
 To Gen. William Duncan : 
 
 Sir : I send you enclosed a general order from the Governor, 
 which you will have executed as promptly as practicable. They 
 have been delayed in consequence of a difficulty arising as to the 
 mode of procedure, whether the penalties incurred by delinquents 
 should be collected under the State or United States. The Attor- 
 ney General is of opinion they must be collected under tliose of V.ie 
 latter, in which the Governor concurs. I send you a list of the 
 names of the Bi-igade Inspectors from whose brigade volunl -ers 
 and drafts were ordered into service. It will perhaps be well for 
 you to direct their attention to the fifth and sixth sections of the act 
 of Congress passed 28tli February, 1795, as the rule of proceedings. 
 In adverting to subsequent acts of Congress, on the subject of militia, 
 you find that no alternation has been made in the provisions contained 
 in the said sections. Tlie term of service, however, has been 
 changed from three to six months, a circumstance, also, which the 
 officers holding the court-martial should be apprised of. I have 
 written to the son of the late General Reed, to forward to this 
 office all the papers in liis possession belonging to the xldjutant 
 General's office. I have not yet received them. The Governor has 
 returned to the seat of government, and will remain here for some 
 months. I will inform you when I receive the papers from Mr. 
 Reed. 
 
 Very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU,

 P. S. — By examining the several general orders issued by tlie 
 Governor, which I presume you have, you will perceive from what 
 
660 
 
 AVAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 brifrafles tlie draft or volunteers were ordered into service. It will 
 perliups be advisable for you to remind the Brisj^ade liisi)ectors, that 
 tliuse who were delinquent among those called into tlie service of the 
 United States, are to be tried by court-martial, agreeably to the laws 
 of the United States, and that those called into the service of this 
 State oidy, are to be proceeded against under the State laws. I con- 
 ceive that those volunteers who so shamefully deserted and threw 
 down their arms at Black Rock ought in a particular manner to be 
 brought before court-martial. 
 
 X. B. BOILEAU TO WILLIAM FOSTER. 
 
 Harrisburg, October 30, 1813. 
 
 To Mr. William Foster : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 7th inst., has been received, in answer to which 
 I have to state tiiat previously to my writing to the Quarter-master 
 General the letter to which you allude, I consulted the accounting 
 officers, whose province it is to settle all public accounts. From 
 the result of that consultation arose the doubts I expressed of their 
 willingness to allow certain items of charge mentioned in my let- 
 ter. Y'^ur letter of the 7th I also submitted to them. On consid- 
 eration, they appear to wave objections to that part of the account 
 relative to comnuitation with the men for rations on their march 
 home. I would here remark that the conduct of Maj. Clark on a 
 similar occasion, was unknown to this or the accountant depart- 
 ment, until communicated by you, and the accountant officers may 
 still think proper to revive the settlement, with regard to furnish- 
 ing rations to the militia called by Col. Wallace, prior to the order 
 of Gen. Mead. They are unanimously of the opinion those accounts 
 are inadmissible, although sanctioned by Gen. Mead, inasmuch as 
 he had no legal authority to sanction an illegal assumption of power, 
 by an inferior officer. I presume, therefore, those accounts must be 
 submitted to the Legislature, which, on consideration of the cir- 
 cumstance of the case, will probably direct their adjustment. You 
 can lay the whole case before them without the necessity of your 
 personal attendance. The mode, however, of your application must 
 rest in your own discretion.

 the Secretary of tlie Commonwealth, that the books and papers be- 
 longing to the office of the Adjutant General, remain in your custody, 
 and that you have been desired to deliver them over to the order of 
 whoever might be appointed to tliat office. Gen. William Duncan, 
 of Philadelphia, has been lately appointed and commissioned Ad- 
 jutant General, and is expected to be here in a short time. Mr. 
 Boileau liaving gone this morning to Lancaster, I am directed by 
 the Governor to request tliat you will be pleased, with as little de- 
 lay as possible, to forward them in a box or trunii directed to me at 
 this place, and I will defray the expense. Send them by stage or 
 such other safe conveyance as you may think i>roper. As soon as 
 they arrive, the receipt of them shall be acknowledged.

 JAMES TRIMBLE TO GEN. WILLIAM DUNCAN. 
 
 Harrisburg, N'ovemher 8, 1813. 
 
 To Gen. William Duncan, Philadelphia: 
 
 Dear Sir : I acknowledge the receipt of your letter to Mr. Boi- 
 leau, of the 4th instant, and now subjoin an abstract from our books, 
 showing you tlie dates of the Governor's general orders for calling 
 out the militia of this State, under the requisition of the President 
 of the United States, and the brigades and divisions from which 
 the militia was drawn, with the period of service. I am directed 
 by the Governor to inform you that two requisitions were made to 
 him, one by the Secretary at War, the other by General Dearborn, 
 both dated the same day, to wit : the 13th day of August, 1812, and 
 both requiring the detaching, for the service of the United States, 
 of two thousand men, to rendezvous somewhere in the western part 
 of the State, and to march to Buffalo, in the State of New York. 
 The former making the requisition under the act of 1812, and the 
 latter under the act of 1795. In neither of the requisitions was 
 
662 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 there a reference to the other, it was lienee conjectured that one 
 detachment only was desired ; under this impression the Governor 
 ordered the volunteers into service, who elected, at Meadville, Gen- 
 eral Tanneiiill. The Governor wrote to both the Secretary at War 
 and (General Dearborn for an explanation of the apparent enigma, 
 particularly requesting to be informed as respected the term of ser- 
 vice, the law of 1795 requiring a tour of three months, and that of 
 1S12 a tour of six months. From General Dearborn no answer was 
 obtained ; the Secretary at War did write, on the 1st of September, 
 but not one word in explanation, he merely said that he found it 
 necessary so far to vary tiie orders issued by him on the 13th of Au- 
 gust, as that the brigade ordered by him into service, should join 
 General Harrison's army, then assembling in the State of Oiiio. 
 The fact that General Taunehill procured, for himself and his staff, 
 a furlough, for a term extending to the day on which a six months' 
 tour ended, it would seem as proof that the requisition in both cases 
 was for a term of six months.

 GOV. SIMON SXYDER TO COL. JOHN PHILLIPS. 
 
 Harrisburg, November 12, 1813. 
 
 To Col. John Phillips : 
 
 Silt : Upon being certified that the detachment of the militia or- 
 dered into service byMaj. Gen. Mead, for the protection of the 
 United States flotilla, then in the harbor of Erie, was discharged, 
 I should inuned lately Iiave appointed a paymaster for that detach- 
 ment, but wanting data where from an estimate of the sum requi- 
 site could be made, and having a wish, also, to know how much of 
 the money already placed to your credit at the Branch Bank at 
 Pittsburgh, for the payment of other ti'oops after payment, might 
 remain in your hands. I delayed the appointment for the obvious 
 reason of not founding a draft or public moneys on a contingency. 
 Yoiu- letter of tiie 12th October, hiforming that ten or eleven thou- 
 sand dollars would probably remain in your hands. If it had been 
 accompanied by muster and pay-rolls of Gen. Mead's detachment, 
 would liave removed all ditticulty. Tliese documents I anxiously 
 looked for from day to day, presuming the obvious necessity of tliem 
 would induce Gen. Mead to have them forwarded. I relied with 
 the more certainty on their receipt, under a belief that the purport 
 as well of your letter of the 12th October, as that the letter itself 
 
WAR OF 1S12-14. 663 
 
 grew out of an intimation from the Executive. To prevent a longer 
 delay and consequent dissatisfaction on the part of tlie troops who 
 particularly yielded obedience to the orders of Gen. Mead, under 
 circumstances of extreme hardship, 1 am induced to inclose a com- 
 mission constituting you paymaster of tliat detachment. For this 
 service you will proceed to expend the money that may remain in 
 your hands, Iiaving first procured the necessary muster and pay-rolls. 
 But it is to be distinctly understood that you discriminate between 
 those troops who were ordered into service by Col. Wallace, and tliose 
 subsequently ordered by Gen. Mead, confining your official duty to 
 the latter only. Such further sum of money as shall be equal to a 
 payment in full of the detachment shall be forwarded so soon as the 
 requisite data to form an estimate shall have been forwarded. 
 
 Very respectfully your friend,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO WILLIAM McCLELLAND. 
 
 Harrisbtjrg, Decemher 2, 1813. 
 To William McClelland, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : Your letter to Mr. Findlay, under date of 27tli November, 
 is now before me. Tlie difficulties which occurred respecting the 
 collection of militia fines early occurred to the Governor. He wrote 
 to a member of Congress on the subject, at Washington, during the 
 last winter session, who had a conversation on the business with 
 tiie President ; the result of which, however, was by no means satis- 
 factory. Some time in the month of April last, the Governor was 
 furnished with a copy of a letter from the Marshal of the district, 
 written to the Adjutant General, in which he states that he con- 
 ceived it to be his duty to collect the fines imposed on delinquents, 
 and directs that the result of Courts-Martial, held for the punisli- 
 raent of delinquents, should be reported to him or his deputies. On 
 the 11th of May, I wrote, by the Governor's direction, to the Mar- 
 siial for the purpose of having an understanding on the subject. In 
 answer to which the Marslial stated that he liad submitted the case 
 to the District Attorney, Mr. Dallas, and that he would furnish a 
 copy of his opinion when received. h\ the meantime, I, by direction 
 of the Governor, wrote to Mr. Ingersoll, the Attorney General, on 
 the same subject. A copy of the opinion of Mr. Dallas, and tiie 
 opinion of Mr. Ingersoll, were not received until October, although 
 I had a second time written to the Marshal, pressing him on tiie 
 subject. The Governor, having examined those opinions, and ex- 
 
ti04 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 ainiiied the laws of Congress, thought proper to issue general orders 
 to tlie Adjutant General, a copy of which you have seen. It appears 
 to the Governor tliat, inasmuch as the officer of the United States 
 is to collect the lines, under tlie laws of the United .States, if any 
 difliculty arises under those laws, the officer of the United States 
 should explain them. I have written to the Marshal on the subject ^ 
 submitted your queries to him, and requested him to write to you 
 on tlie business. 1 suljjoin an extract from the opinion of Mr. Dal- 
 las : "As there seems, however, to have been some misunderstand- 
 ing of the law, and certain militia fines, certified to the State officers, 
 have been collected under tlie State laws, 1 advise the Marshal to 
 to consider those officers as acting in the capacity of liis deputies in 
 past cases ; and to enter into such arrangement with, as shall enable 
 him to receive and pay the money collected into the treasury, as the 
 law directs." I also gave the Marshal a similar extract of Mr. Dal- 
 las" opinion. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 X. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN SMITH. 
 
 Harrisburg, December 2, 1813. 
 
 To .John Smith, Esq., Marshal Philadelphia District: 
 
 Sir : The apparent collision between the United States and the 
 State laws, their ambiguity or w^ant of precision, occasion great 
 embarrassment in the collecting of the fines imposed on delinquent 
 militia men. It would appear to me that inasmuch as these fines 
 are to be collected by an officer of the United States, it has pro- 
 vince to direct the mode of procedure in levying them. 1 subjoined 
 some queries sent to me by Mr. William McClelland, Brigade In- 
 spector in Franklin county, for your solution, with a request tliat 
 you would give him information as early as possible. As other 
 Brigade Inspectors, no doubt feel equal difficulties, would it not be 
 well to point out to each of them the proper mode of procedure. 
 A list of those from whose brigades, militia have been called into 
 service, 1 also send you. It appears from Mr. McClelland's letter 
 that a part of the fines have been collected in his brigade, and one 
 iiian imprisoned. It is likely that in other brigades, similar events 
 haA'e occuiTed. As a part of Mr. Dallas's opinion seems to apply 
 
AVAR OF 1812-14. 665 
 
 to the above cases, I send yon a copy of tliat part, lest you might 
 perhaps not have preserved a copy of it. As there seems, however, 
 to have been some misunderstanding of the law, and certain militia 
 fines, certified to the .State officers, have been collected under the 
 State laws, I advise the Marshal to consider those officers as acting 
 in the capacity of his deputies, in past cases, and to enter into such 
 arrangement with, as shall enable him to receive and to pay the 
 money collected into the treasury, as the law directs. I have only 
 to add a request that you would pay an early attention to tlie sub- 
 ject, to prevent further difficulties in addition to those which arose 
 from the long delay of Mr. Dallas's opinion. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO JOHN ARMSTRONG. 
 
 Harrisburg, January 10, 1814. 
 To Hon. John Armstrong, Secretary of War: 
 
 Sir : T received, by express, from Major General Meade, com- 
 manding a division of Pennsylvania militia in the western part of 
 this State, a communication containing intelligence of a nature 
 warranting that officer, under a special provision of an act of the 
 ]^egislature, to order into service a portion of the militia of his com- 
 mand, for the protection of tlie lake frontier, and the vessels of war 
 and other public property at Erie, against a tln-eatened invasion by 
 tlie enemy. 1 hasten to lay before the Executive of the Union copies 
 of the papers upon which that officer has predicated the act he lias 
 done, together with an extract of his letter. As these dociunents 
 fully express the feeling and impressions of the people in that ex- 
 posed country, 1 deem it but necessary to express my wish that such 
 measures may be adoi)ted by the United States government as, 
 added to efforts then making under the State authority, will attain 
 the all-important service which the exigency of the country de- 
 mand. I beg leave to suggest the necessity of a requisition for an- 
 other portion of this State's quota of militia, as the most efficient, 
 because, under the special provision above alluded to, the troops can 
 be held in service only thirty days. That period may be extended 
 by the Executive another month, but it is extremely desirable that 
 this extension of service should be avoided, as the troops now or- 
 dered on service by General Mead have been subject to many pri-

 eisliteen months. Most of the counties west of the Susquehanna, 
 witli the exception of Cumberland, Toik, and Adams, have fur- 
 nished the allotment of the quota reciuired of this State. To appor- 
 tion as equally as possible amon<jf the people the burden of the war, 
 and to prevent murmurings, it will be necessary that these harass- 
 ed troops be relieved as soon as possible by militia who have hith- 
 erto been excused by reason of their pfreat distance from the seat of 
 war. Tiie time required to march troops from the eastern counties 
 precludes the hope of etRcient service by a two months' tour, hence 
 the expediency of a requisition for a six months' tour. If our hopes 
 on this subject be realized, it will be desirable to know, whether at 
 Pittsbursli, Carlisle, or elsewhere, the United States have a deposit 
 of arms, camp equipage, blankets, and munitions of war, with which 
 such a detachment of militia could be furnislied. In anticipation 
 of tlie suggested requisition, I may probably order the volunteers 
 and drafted militia of some counties near this place to be held in 
 readiness to march at a short warning. Permit me to ask an early 
 answer to this communication, and to add assurances of considera- 
 tion and esteem.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. DAVID MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, January 10, 1814. 
 To Maj. Gen. David Mead : 
 
 Sir : The act you have done in calling forth, for the defence of 
 Erie, a ])ortion of your division, growing as it appears, out of the 
 exigencies of the lake frontier, is, it is presumed, the result of a dis- 
 cretion, the exercise of which is vested in j'ou by a special act of the 
 Legislature. The privations, hardships, and distresses consequent 
 ni)on an almost unremitted service in the field, by a large portion of 
 the militia conqwsiiig the First brigade of your division, would 
 seem to dictate a dismissal of them as early as the safety of the 
 country wih permit. The arrival at Erie of the detachment ordered 
 into service from the Second brigade of your division, ought [cir- 
 cumstances permitting,) to be tiie limit for the service of the first 
 brigade. Measures will be taken for the pay and subsistence of the 
 troops, and so soon as an answer is obtained from the Secretary at 
 War, of whom 1 have requested the interposition of the United 
 States government for the relief of the lake frontier, troops will Ije or- 
 dered to relieve those you may retain in service, either under a requi- 
 sition of the United states, which I have suggested to the Secretary 
 at War, or, if that government should decline complying with my 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 667 
 
 request, under State authority. If the danger should not have 
 ceased on this point, I solicit information as frequently as private 
 opportunities and the mail offer, or by express, if circumstances re- 
 quire dispatch. On the subject of retaining in service beyond thirty 
 days, the detachment or any portion of it which you ordered from 
 the Second brigade, you will be advised as soon as I shall have 
 learned the determination of the President upon my communica- 
 tion. 
 
 Very respectfully. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. D. MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, January 18, 1814. 
 
 To Gen. D. Mead : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 8th instant was received last evening. In order 
 that we may understand each other, it may be proper to quote a 
 part of yours of 25th November last, as perhaps you may not have 
 a copy. " At the time our fleet was ready to sail, the commodore 
 informed me he was very deficient in men, but wished to make a 
 cruise to Long Point, and requested me to use my influence to get 
 him some men to assist in working the guns, and to be used as 
 shooters or marines. In order to do this, I promised tluit every 
 man who would volunteer for a cruise sliould be paid for his services 
 as a militia man on his return. The necessary number, about one 
 hundred men volunteered, and I borrowed $500 to pay them on their 
 return, which was accordingly done." Myunderstandingof this part 
 of your letter, which was that also of Mr. Bryan, was tliat tlie $500 
 was a bounty of five dollars to each for volunteering his services for 
 the cruise. If not, I could perceive no inducement held out to the 
 men, because had they staid on shore they would have been entitled 
 to their common pay as militia men. And it appears by your last 
 letter that those men were discharged at the same time tliat the 
 other men were who were on service by your orders. Nor did I im- 
 agine that the $500 paid then included the whole of the time they 
 were in the service of State. If this be the fact, the paymaster, 
 Mr. Phillips, will not hesitate a moment in refunding the money to 
 you on your exhibiting to him tlieir receipt for their pay. The law^ 
 required a paymaster to be appointed, which was done. He is the 
 proper to whom application is to be made to refund the pay you have 
 advanced. If he does not, please to inform me, and the matter will 
 be presented to the consideration of the Legislature without delay. 
 
668 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 Or tli(^ Governor will direct Mr. Phillips to do it ; I conceive he has 
 the jiower. Before I close this letter, permit rne to notice some parts 
 of a letter from you to tlie Governor, under date of the 2d instant, 
 in wliieli you state that I have written a letter not very resi)ectfully 
 to you. Tliat you are hampered and calumniated by a private irre- 
 sponsible influence. " If it be disrespectful or calumnious to state 
 to Mr. Wallace, which I did in my letter to him, that his call of the 
 militia, although sanctioned by you, was, in the opinion of the ac- 
 countant ollicers, unauthorized by any existing law, then indeed, am 
 I guilty of the charge. And the only apology I have to make is my 
 total ignorance of the meaning of the terms ' disrespectful and caZ- 
 «nin(/ ' with regard to prtraie irresj>o;)s/6i7iXy." Be assured I have 
 no desire to shrink from responsibility either in my private or public 
 capacity. And if you have been '■'hampered," it is in consequence 
 of your having exercised a power which the accountant officers do 
 not think was authorized by law, and, therefore, would not pay ex- 
 penses that resulted from it.

 To .Joiix Young, Esq., Inspector of the First Brigade, Eleventh 
 Division, Pennsylvania Militia: 
 Sir : As the general order issued by the Governor, under date of 
 29th October last, appears not to be distinctly understood, by at least 
 some of the Brigade Inspectors, to embrace those who were ordered 
 to the defence of Erie, under the command of Colonel Rees Hill, I 
 am instructed to state explicitly to you, that those who refuse to 
 march, under the general orders of the Governor, dated 31st March, 
 1813, issued in pursuance of a requisition of the general govern- 
 ment, dated the 20th of March, 1813, as well as those who deserted 
 after marciiing, were, and are, intended to be embraced under the 
 Governor's general orders, dated the 29th October, 1813, wiiich di- 
 rect delin(iuents to be proceeded against, agreeably to the laws of 
 the United States.

 Harrisburg, January 31, 1814. 
 To John Wilson, Brigadier General : 
 
 Sir : Your letter to the Governor, of the 26th inst., representing 
 to him the necessity of a guard over British prisoners, and some 
 public property in Fort Fayette, has been made the subject of a 
 communication to the Secretary at War. On the United States 
 government tlie object of your letter properly devolves. The act 
 you have done may be warranted by circumstances, and, I doubt 
 not, will be recognized by that government, but it is equally unau- 
 tliorized emanating from the Governor, as from yourself or General 
 Tannehill. It is' to be regretted that a communication was not, in 
 the first instance, made to the Secretary at War, rather than to Gen- 
 eral Tannehill. 
 
 Yery respectfully, sir.

 Harrisburg, Januarn 31, 1814. 
 To John Armstrong, Esq., Secretary of War : 
 
 Sir : On Saturday last I received, by mail, the original letter of 
 which the enclosed is a copy. From it you will perceive that Brig- 
 adier General John Wilson, of the First brigade. Fifteenth division 
 of Pennsylvania militia, has on duty at Fort Fayette a small party 
 of men from his brigade, to protect against injury the public prop- 
 erty in the fort, as also to guard some British prisoners there. The 
 act the General has done is not authorized by any law of the Leg- 
 islature, but dictated, as it was, by the exposed condition of the 
 property and prisoners. I trust his orders may be recognized, and 
 arrangements made for a permanent guard. I am anxious to hear 
 the determination of the President on my communication to you of 
 the 10th instant. 
 
 With consideration of respect. 
 
 Your humble servant,

 IIarrisburg, 31sf January, 1814, 7 o'cfocfc, P. M. 
 
 To William Duxcan, Esq., Adjutant General Pennsylvania mil- 
 itia : 
 
 Sir : Agreeably to a requisition by the President, under date of 
 the loth inst., which did .not arrive until this evening, it becomes 
 my duty to order into the service of the Union one thousand 
 militia, to rendezvous and station at Erie, and there to be stationed 
 for the defence of that place, if not otherwise ordered. 1 have it in 
 contemplation to order these troops from the interior of the State. 
 You will have perceived that, by a supplement to the militia law, 
 passed during the last session of the Legislature, it is made the duty 
 of the Adjutant General to organize detachments of militia, desig- 
 nated for the United States service. Through him must also be 
 executed any orders issued by the Commander-in-Chief. Hence your 
 presence at this place becomes indispensable to discharge that duty. 
 It will be necessary, before your departure for this place, (wliich you 
 will hasten with all possible expedition.) that you learn from the 
 Commissary General of Purchases at Philadelphia whether arms 
 and other necessary equipments can be furnished at Carlisle or Pitts- 
 burgh. This arrangement is indispensable to guard against any de- 
 ficit amongst the men. Tents and camp kettles (particularly the 
 latter) will be essentially necessary, and a supply ought to be ob- 
 tained at v.'arlisle, or, if not there, to be forwarded from Philadel- 
 phia by the Commissary General of Purchases.

 Sir : By last evening's mail the Governor received a letter from 
 the Secretary at War requiring a detachment of one thousand mili- 
 tia to march to the defence of Erie. He has it in contemplation to 
 order them from the counties of Cumberland, York, Adams, and 
 Eranklin. The Governor directs me to give you this intimation in 
 order that you may make arrangements to execute as promptly as 
 possible the orders vi^hich will be sent to you in a few days.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. DAVID MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 1, 1814. 
 To Gen. David Mead : 
 
 Sir : From my communication to the Secretary at War of the 
 10th of January last, has resulted a requisition from the President 
 to me under date of the 15th ult., which, from some fatality, did 
 notreacli this place until yesterdayevening, for one hundred militia 
 to rendezvous at Erie, and to remain in service six months. This 
 detachment will be marched with all possible dispatch from Cum- 
 berland and otlier adjoining counties ; but as it cannot be ascertained 
 that those troops will arrive at Erie before or at the time the term 
 of service of the draft you ordered from the Second brigade of your 
 division shall have expired, and as it may be necessary that a force 
 adequate to tlie defence of the place be kept up. You will, therefore , 
 retain in service, until the above mentioned detachment shall liave 
 arrived, the draft from the Second brigade; or, perhaps, a portion 
 of it, with the troops there of the United States, will be adequate. 
 On this subject it will be proper to advise with Maj. Marlin, com- 
 manding those troops at Erie, who is instructed by the Secretary at 
 
672 WAE OF 1812-14. 
 
 War, in case of emergency, to call out such number of militia as 
 may be necessary or expedient. For your satisfaction, I subjoin 
 an extract from the Secretary's letter to me. Orders have been 
 pivcu toMaj. Marlin,of the Twenty-second regiment, United States 
 Infantry, to march with such regular troops as were at Pittsburgh, 
 and to take post at Erie. He was instructed, in case of emergency, 
 to call out sucii number of the neighboring militia as might be nec- 
 essary or expedient.

 Sir : I enclose to you a check on the Bank of Pennsylvania for 
 $12,000, (wliicii will be paid at Pittsburgh,) for the purpose of de- 
 fraying tlie expense which may have accrued in marching the militia 
 to Erie, under tlie orders of Gen. Mead, and for paying the men for 
 their services. 
 
 You will take the earliest opportunity of executing and forward- 
 ing to this office a bond, with sureties, similar to tlie one already 
 sent to you by Mr. Atkinson. The receipt of which, together with 
 the check I sent you at the same time for $7,000, you have not yet 
 acknowledged. Please to do it with as little delay as possible, as 
 my receipt for the check lias been given to the State Treasurer.

 GOV. SIMOX SNYDER TO GEN. DAVID MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 4, 1814. 
 To Maj. Gen. David Mead : 
 
 Sir : It is a matter of regret that no mode for guarding against a 
 sudden invasion of our lake frontier has yet been adopted less ex- 
 pensive to tlie State than the one pursued. Permit me to suggest a 
 system to which, w^hilst danger is at so great a distance as is the 
 
WAR or 1812-U. 673 
 
 enemy's force in the straits from Erie, would, in my apprehen- 
 sion of others, be equally efficacious, and save to the State an ex- 
 pense, to which, if calls en ^naxse are continued, our ordinary re- 
 sources will be altogether unequal. 
 
 Let us say one hundred and fifty or two hundred men be stationed 
 at thirty or more miles in advance towards the straits, at a place cal- 
 culated for creating tlie greatest possible quantity of obstruction to 
 an invading army. Let a few active and enterprising individuals, 
 mounted on good horses, be stationed in advance of the main body, 
 at places where probably tlie enemy might attempt an eruption, 
 with directions on the ai)pearance of an enemy, or any movements 
 by him indicating an attack, to convey intelligence thereof to the 
 commanding officer. Let it be his duty in such case immediatily 
 to cause every obstruction that tiie face of the country affords, to 
 be created by the tearing up of bridges, and the felling of timber 
 trees across the roads, &c. This would retard an invading force, 
 so that sufficient time would be had to bring out the neighboring 
 militia, in numbers sufficient to repel any disposable force the enemy 
 may have on tlie straits. Other avenues for the approach of an 
 enemy (if there are any) might be guarded in a similar manner. 
 Standing orders to the militia of your division, might be issued to 
 hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning. 
 
 This suggestion grows out of a wish, which I trust you feel 
 equally strong with myself, to prevent a dissipation of public treas- 
 ure in the pursuit of measures which appear to me of doubtful 
 utility.

 James Lamberton, Esq.. Inspector of First Brigade, Seventh Divi-

 Sir : You will immediately, upon the receipt of this communica- 
 tion, order the militia of your brigade, designated for the service of 
 tlie United States under general orders of the 12th day of May, 
 1812, to rendezvous on the most early day possible, at the place you 
 sliall deem most convenient, within the bounds of your brigade, and 
 thence to marcii to Erie, the place designated by the Secretary at 
 War for general rendezvous, to compose part of a regiment of militia 
 to be tliere organized agreeably to law. 
 
 It is fondly anticipated that those of the militia who have hereto- 
 fore patriotically volunteered their service in substitution of drafts 
 will, with unbated zeal, submit to such officering and organization of 
 their several corps a^ will conform to the rules and regulations of 
 United States army, recognized by an act of the General Assembly 
 passed the 29tii March, 1813. For your guide, as respects brigade 
 organization, you are referred to an act of the present Legislature, 
 passed this day, a copy whereof is herewith transmitted. 
 
 It is essential tiiat the several Brigade Inspectors, viz : of the 
 First and Second brigades of the Seventh division, and of the Second 
 brigade of the Fifth division, before they shall have marched their 
 several whole detachments, make such arrangements amongst them- 
 selves as that one thousand men, rank and file, with competent 
 number of oHicers, will be delivered to the Adjutant General, or his 
 deputy, at Erie, on tlie 5th day of March next, for organization. 
 
 It is strictly enjoined that the arms within your brigade be col- 
 lected and put into the hands of the marching troops. Any una- 
 voidable deficiency will be supplied at the place of rendezvous. 
 
 By order of the Governor.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO HENRY HURST. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 14, 1814. 
 To Hexry Hurst, Esq: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 2d inst., I have received. T trust that we have 
 at length come to an understanding with regard to the $500 ad- 
 vanced by Gen. Mead to the militia who volunteered on board 
 Perry's fleet, and in my letter to the General of the 18tli ult., I 
 stated to him that if the sum he had advanced to these men was 
 surely the amount of pay due to them for the whole tour of duty 
 they performed under his call, Mr. Phillips, the Paymaster, could 
 make no difliculty in refunding the money, on his producing the re- 
 ceii)ts from these men of their having received their pay. 
 
 As to the construction of the supplement to the militia law passed 
 29th March last, we are still at issue. My construction, however, 
 is of little moment as I have no power to instruct or control the 
 accountant officers in the settlement of the expenses incurred under 
 that law. But it is all important that Gen. Mead, and those who 
 concur with liim in opinion, should conceive the accountant officers 
 that their construction of the law is erroneous. It is true the Gov- 
 ernor in his communication to the Legislature, did not mention 
 particularly the militia called into service by Gen. Mead. This cir- 
 cumstance I am confident did not originate from any unfavorable 
 representations made to him of the conduct of these men, nor from 
 his not properly appreciating their merits in promptly obeying the 
 orders of the General at a season so inconvenient for them to leave 
 their homes. And he noticed them particularly, he must have pro- 
 ceeded to notice those who marched into the State of Delaware un- 
 der Col. Rush, those who volunteered from the county of Chester, 
 and marched into the State of Maryland, those volunteer companies 
 from the borough of Lancaster, who at their own expense marched 
 to Elkton, who never asked or received a single cent for their ser- 
 vices, those also from Philadelphia, who volunteered their services 
 at the fort without receiving any compensation. In fine, wlien w^as

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. DAVID MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 14, 1814. 
 To Maj. Gen. David Mead : 
 
 Sir : In answer to your communication of the 4th instant, I have 
 but to repeat as respects the defence of Erie, and the fleet there ly- 
 ing, tlie suggestions I made in my letter to you of the 4th instant. 
 Such a force would be every way adequate to guard against a sud- 
 den surprise; and, under a proper organization, would arrest the 
 enemy until a competent force of the neighboring militia could be 
 brougiit out. Should the enemy have a disposable force on the 
 straits competent to the apprehended enterprise, and should he liave 
 the temerity to march through a hostile country upwards of ninety 
 miles, with a knowledge of being obliged to retrace his steps in a 
 retreat, and with a knowledge, also, to moral certainty of being de- 
 stroyed in the attempt. To justify such a sacrifice on the part of 
 the enemy, I cannot perceive a motive in even a certain destruction 
 of our fleet at Erie, because, if accomplished, still would we, with 
 the vessels of war lying above Erie, have the command of the lake, 
 and with them could we crush ariy effort in the enemv's power to 
 make towards gaining the ascendency on that water. 
 
 Though the preservation of our fleet is all important, yet permit 
 me, sir, to say that in the communication to you by Lieut. Elliott, 
 commandant of the fleet upon which, and upon the letter of a Major 
 Barns, you predicted the orders as well for the marching en masse 
 of the First brigade, as the subsequent requisition, (nothing having 
 subsequently to your first orders transpired tending to increase dan- 
 ger, as is admitted in one of your late letters,) that ofticer expressed 
 not any fears for the safety of the fleet under his command. And I 
 must be permitted to remark, also, that at that the vessels were un- 
 incumbered by ice. and continued so down to the 27th of January. 
 You are already apprised that general orders have issued for the 
 rendezvousing at Erie of one thousand men on the 5th March next. 
 Until that force has arrived, I trust the measures I have suggested 
 
67g WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 may be adopted, which, in my opinion, will be commensurated witli 
 any danger that may grow out of any disposable force the enemy 
 can have at so distant a point as is the straits from Erie.

 Your obedient servant,

 Sir : In consequence of a requisition made by the President of 
 the United States, the Governor has ordered a detachment of one 
 thousand rank and file of the militia from the counties of Cumber- 
 land, Adams, and Franklin, to rendezvous at Erie, on the 5th of 
 March next. As the men are unwilling to march at this inclement 
 season of tlie year, without being furnished with tents, and they 
 cannot be supplied from this place, nor a sufficient number be had 
 at Carlisle, the Governor directs that you make application, with 
 the least possible delay, to the proper officer of the United States, at 
 Piiiladelphia, for thirteen large and fifty small tents out of the 
 United States arsenal, and, if procured, to forward them, with all 
 convenient dispatch, to ('arlisle, there to be delivered to James

 N. B. BOILEAU TO FREDERICK FOERING. 
 
 Harrisburg, 14t/i. February, 1814, 
 To Frederick Foering, Esq., Deputy Quarter-Master General: 
 Sii; : If you cannot procure the tents from the United States 
 arsenal, then take them out of those you procured, by direction of 
 the Governor, for the use of this State. If the expense of trans- 
 portation will not be allowed by the United States officer, it will be 
 paid liere on the wagoners producing a receipt from Maj. Lamber- 
 ton for tlieir delivery, or any other satisfactory evidence that they 
 have been delivered to any officer of the detachment at Carlisle. 
 
 Very respectfully, &c.,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO JAMES LAMBEETOX. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 15, 1814, 
 To James Lamberton", Brigade Inspector : 
 
 Sir: The Governor regrets tliat the plan for marching the troops 
 in small detachments and quartering tliem in houses, as agreed upon 
 between himself and Mr. Lamberton, has been abandoned. It was 
 calculated to expedite the march, and would have prevented delay 
 in starting, that is necessarily created by the demand for tents, be- 
 cause these must be brought from Pliiladelphia. They are written 
 for, and if not furnished by the United States, will be sent on to 
 Carlisle out of the State arsenal. It is all-important (because it 
 will save considerable expense to the State at Erie) that those of 
 the troops, who can have a sui)ply of tents, should march as soon as 
 possible, to take post at Erie, in room of General Mead's requisition. 
 If more money should be necessary, arrangements will be made, 
 either at tliis place, before you march, or at Pittsburgh, if you shall 
 have marched, so that you may be supplied with what may be 
 deemed needful.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. DAVID MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 17, 1814. 
 To Gen. David Mead : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 3d inst., I received last evening. It is, indeed, 
 matter of regret, and to none more than to the Governor, that so 
 much delay has occurred in the payment of the men who served 
 under your orders. To prevent this delay, Mr. Trimble, by direc- 
 tion of the Governor, wrote to Mr. Pnillips, on the 4th of October 
 last, requesting him to furnisli, without delay, an estimate of the 
 sum necessary to pay the men, having no documents here on which 
 to make a calculation. Colonel Phillips stated he was not able to 
 give the estimate, and even in his letter of 28th January last, he 
 says he is unable to do it, because the captains have not furnished 
 him with their rolls. From a review of the whole transaction, I can 
 perceive no neglect on the part of the Executive ; he wished the 
 money to be sent promptly, whenever the amount necessary could 
 be known. In the meantime directed Mr. Pliillips to proceed with 
 what he had in his hands, as far as it would go, and any deficit 
 would be forwarded to him as soon as ascertained. By the eighth 
 
680 
 
 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 section of tlio supplementary act of tlie 29tli of March last, it is 
 made tlie duty of the commanding otlicer of each regiment, and, 
 also, for the commanding officer of each company, to furnish the 
 jKiy master with comi)lete lists or roll of all the commissioned, non- 
 commissioned officers, and privates under their respective com- 
 mands. This duty, as a[)pears from Colonel Pliillips' letters of the 
 28th ult., iiad not even then been performed. May not the delay of 
 payment then be fairly attributed to the neglect of those officers in 
 not jierforming tlie preUminary and necessary duty of furnisliing 
 tiie i)aymaster with tlie list or rolls. 
 
 A sum, however, such as the Governor supposed will be sufficient, 
 (for even at this late hour it can only be guessed at,) to pay off the 
 men, will be forwarded to Colonel Phillips, with tlie least possible 
 delay. With regard to the other expenses, 1 beg leave to refer you 
 to tlie accountant department. I have already intimated their 
 oiiinion. or construction, of the law, and, unless you can convince 
 thein tiiat their construction is incorrect, the difficulties can only 
 be removed by the Legislature, which already is acquainted with 
 the difficulty, as your letters on the subject, and others connected 
 witli it, have been communicated. Your last letter, also, will be 
 put into the hands of the committee who have the subject under 
 consideration. Permit me to assure you that, neither in my letter 
 to Mr. Foster, or to any other person, have I ever designed, in the 
 least degree, to treat you with disrespect. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO COL. REES HILL. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 19, 1814. 
 To Col. Rees Hill : 
 
 Sir : By a resolution of the Legislature, the Governor is directed 
 to present to each of tliose citizens of Pennsylvania who volunteered 
 on board the American squadron on Lake Erie, at the time the 
 British fleet were captured, a silver medal, with such emblematical 
 devices as he may think proper. In order to comuly with the re- 
 solution, it is necessary he should be furnished with the names of 
 those volunteers. I have, therefore, to request that you will take 
 the earliest opportunity of forwarding a correct list of their names. 
 If you are not in the possession of their names, you will please to 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 081 
 
 apply to Capt. Perry, or to some other person who may be in pos- 
 session of the proper information, competent to certify their names, 
 and transmit it with all convenient dispatch such information. 
 
 Very resi)ectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO JAMES LAMBERTON^. 
 
 Harrisburg, February 21, 1814. 
 To James Lamberton, Esq., Brigade Inspector : 
 
 Sir: The Governor has directed me to furnish you with a copy 
 of the opinions of Mr. Dallas, district attorney of the United States, 
 and of Mr. Ingersoll, tiie Attorney General. Agreeably to which 
 proceedings have been instituted by some of the brigade inspectors 
 against those who were delinquents, and deserted from otiier de- 
 tachments which were ordered into the service of the United States. 
 
 A difficulty wliich occurred respecting the expenses of courts- 
 martial has been obviated by the comptroller of the United States 
 Treasury, who directs the costs to be paid by the marshal out of the 
 iines received. The detachments are to be organized at Erie, so as 
 to form one regiment, to consist of ten companies of one hundred 
 men each, rank and file, to be officered as follows : One colonel, one 
 lieutenant colonel, two majors ; to each company, one captain, first, 
 second, and third lieutenants, one ensign, four sergeants, and four 
 corporals, and customary staff. The regiment to be divided into 
 two battalions, each to be commanded by one major. Col. .James 
 Fenton, Colonel Commandant, lieutenant colonels and majors tliose 
 designated by law. You will please to furnish Mr. McClelland and 
 Mr. Welsh witli a copy of tliis letter, also with copies of Mr. Dallas 
 and Mr. IngersolFs opinion, as I had not time to prepare copies for 
 this day's mail. You will also please to ask Mr. McClelland to fur- 
 nish you and Mr. Welsh with copies of the special instructions he 
 has received from the marshal on the subject of his procedure in 
 collecting the fines.

 Harrisburg, February 23, 1814. 
 To William Clark, Es<i. : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 14th inst. was received by the last mail, (yester- 
 day.) So far as rej?ards the payment of the privates who served 
 under the orders of Gen. Mead there can be no doubt. It is desira- 
 ble that they should be paid promptly. Tliis you will do as soon as 
 tlie proper officers furnish you with the lists or rolls agreeably to 
 law. With regard to tlie officer's pay there is certainly great diffi- 
 culties. These have not been i)roduced by any of the departments 
 here. You are perfectly aware that neither the Governor, myself, 
 nor accountant officers are authorized to give any other instructions 
 than those contained in the laws. These laws are before you and 
 they must be your guide, as they will be the rule of settlement by 
 the accountant officers, before whom I have laid your letter, and 
 who do not authorize me to give more specific instructions. You 
 will please to furnish Quarter-master General Wilson Smitli with 
 certified copies of the muster-rolls, agreeably to the militia laws, to 
 enable him to settle the ration accounts, who, it is to be regretted, 
 will have similar difficulties with yourself as it regards the officers.' 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 To James Lambertox, Esq., Brkjadc Inspector of the First Bri- 
 gade, Seventh Division: 
 Sir: I answer to yours of the 23d inst., I have the Governor's 
 directions to reply, that in drafting men vou confine yourself to the 
 quota required from your brigade. Messrs. Welsh and McClelland 
 will be instructed that in case their first draft will not furnish the 
 requisite quota, to proceed to a second, to make np the deficiency. 
 Should Welsh in his first draft be deficient, and send on the men he 
 has obtained, you will take them in charge, and march them on to 
 tne place ot general rendezvous, and furnish them with subsistence.

 To George Welsh, Esq., Brigade Inspector of Second Brigade, 
 
 Fifth Division : 
 
 Sir : As it may possibly happen that your first draft may not fur- 
 nish a quota sufficient when added to those from, other brigades, 
 to make one thousand rank and file, in that case the Governor di- 
 rects tiiat you send on the men that you have obtained, under the 
 direction of such oflTicer as you may deem suitable, and proceed to 
 a second draft to make up the deficiency, and march them as early 
 as possible to the place of general rendezvous. It is suggested 
 whether it might not be expedient to march the present draft to Car- 
 lisle, and put tliem under the direction of Mr. Lamberton, to march 
 them on with the quota from his brigade, while you proceed to make 
 up the deficiency by a second draft, as above directed. 
 
 By order of the Governor.

 Sir : In answer to your letter of the 21st ult., to the Governor, I 
 am directed to state that in case your first draft does not furnish a 
 quota sufficient when added to those from Mr. Lambei'ton's and 
 Welsh's brigades to make one thousand men, rank and file, then you 
 put under the direction of Maj. Lamberton the number you may 
 have ready to march, and proceed to make another draft to make 
 
684 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 up tlie deficiency of your quota, and march them on to tlie general 
 phice of rendezvous as expeditiously as practicable. You will make 
 an arrauffenient with Mr. Lamberton as to the point wliere your de- 
 tachment will join his. A sufficient number of tents, together with 
 those at Carlisle, to accommodate the whole detachment are now 
 on the road from Philadelphia, and will be at Carlisle on Saturday 
 next. 
 IJy order of the Governor.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO WILSO^i^ SMITH. 
 
 Harrisbxjrg, February 24, 1814. 
 To Wilson Smith, Esq., Quarter-master General: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 15th Inst., I have just received, containing a re- 
 quest for the transmission of a further sum of $20,000, to pay exi)enses 
 incurred at Erie, under the orders of Gen. Mead. It would ai)pear, 
 from jour letter, tliat the check I forwarded to you, in a letter under 
 date of the 4th inst., has not been received. An account allowed by 
 Gen. Mead, amounting to $1S,404 27, for rations furnished, was pre- 
 sented yesterday, (copies of which Mr. Bryan states he has forwarded 
 to you,) and S16,000 has been paid on account. Of tlie intention of 
 presenting those accounts, I presume you were not informed, or you 
 would not liave asked for so large a sum. In paying expenses you 
 will discriminate between those which come under the notice of 
 your department and those not contemplated by any law, and, con- 
 sequently, may be of doubtful nature. Such as house rent, building 
 block-houses, rations to supernumerary officers, and certain grades 
 or descriptions of officers not designated or recognized by law. With 
 regard to such items, it might be proper for you first to consult the 
 accountant officers, to prevent embarrassments in settling your ac- 
 counts with them. The subject has been brought before the Legis- 
 lature, but not yet acted on. If, after the receipt of the $10,000, 
 there should still be a deficit, write to inform me what will be suf- 
 ficient to meet legitimate charges, in order that it may be trans- 
 mitted.

 To Lieut. Col. Robert Bull : 
 
 Sir : In answer to yours of yesterday to the Governor, relative 
 " to the regimental staff, I have to refer you to the seventh and eigiith 
 sections of tlie act for the regulation of the militia, passed 9th April, 
 1807. By which it appears the field officers of the regiment are to 
 appoint their staffs. Colonel Fenton, yourself, and the other field 
 officers of the regiment ordered into service will, therefore, arrange 
 the staff in a manner conformable to the law as above mentioned, 
 and which may be most agreeable to yourselves. A Paymaster has 
 been already appointed by the Governor, under the act supplement- 
 ary to the militia law passed at the last sesson of the Legislature. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO GEN. D. MEAD. 
 
 Harrisburg, March 3, 1814. 
 Gen. D. Mead, Ifeadville: 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 21st of February has just been handed me, to- 
 gether with the copy of a requisition from Major Marlin, on you, 
 for two thousand militia, to constitute a force for the defence of 
 Erie and the United States fleet there remaining. In compliance 
 with your request that 1 would be explicit in my communications 
 to you, I take the freedom to say that whatever cause may have 
 heretofore existed for the maintenance of troops at Erie, more than 
 the United States force at that place, there cannot be the slightest 
 grounds for its continuance. I infer this from the trifling dispos. 
 cible foi-ce, if any, the enemy have on the straits, from your own 
 communications, and from tlie opinion given me a few days since, 
 at this place, by an officer of prominence lately under your com- 
 mand, and from a general view of the subject, and I hope it may 
 be distinctly understood that the acts you may do, under the orders 
 of Major Marlin, cannot be the result of a discretion vested in you 
 by any law of the Legislature. Tliat the execution of any orders 
 you may issue, predicated on the Major's requisition, and the ex- 
 pense growing thereout, are not warranted by any law of the State, 
 and the expense cannot be paid out of its funds. Such were my 
 
686 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 impressions when I referred you, in my letter of the 1st February, 
 to Major Murlin's orders from the Secretary at War; but tliat no- 
 thing may remain for construction, I have thus explicitly put down 
 my views on tlie subject of a continual defence at tlie expense of 
 the State. You will hence infer that any troops so ordered into ser- 
 vice will consider themselves as volunteers, in the service of the 
 United States, and to that government they must look for i)ay and 
 subsistence. I should, ere this, have been more explicit in my com- 
 munications to you did not the language of the law under which 
 you act seem to vest in you a discretionary power to continue a de- 
 tachment of militia in service for thirty days. Whetlier the law 
 warrants, by a succession of calls, the maintenance of a permanent 
 force under your orders, is rendered very doubtful, both by the letter 
 and spirit of the law, and were the subject not now under consid- 
 eration of the Legislature, I should feel inclihed to give my voice 
 against your construction, and to add my disapprobation of the 
 longer continuance at Erie of any militia force at the expense of 
 
 the State. 
 
 Respectfully, your obedient servant, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER.

 Harrisburg, March 5, 1814. 
 To. Gen. William Brooke: 
 
 Sir : In answer to yours of the 1st inst., to the Governor, I have 
 to state that one thousand stand of arms and equipments, under 
 the act of Congress for arming the whole body of the militia, will 
 be deposited in the State arsenal, at Philadelphia, under the care 
 of Frederick Foering, Esq., Deputy Quarter-master General of this 
 State, by Callender Irwin, Commissary General of the United States, 
 ready to be delivered when necessary. Mr. Foering has also pur- 
 chased a sufficient quantity of ammunition. To him, therefore, 
 application must be made when any exigency may arise that requires 
 those articles. The cartridge boxes sent to Chester, although not 
 of the best quality, will at least serve for a short campaign. Any 
 man who receives a box can easily put a few more tacks to secure 
 the belts. Should they be entirely unfit for use, a supply can be had 
 from Mr. Foering. The necessary instructions will be given to Mr. 
 Foering on the above points. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO FREDERICK FOERING. 
 
 Harrisburg, March 5, 1814. 
 To Frederick Foering, Esq., Deputy Quarter-master General: 
 
 Sir : The Governor received a letter from Callender Irwin, Com- 
 missary General, stating that he had orders to deliver to the order 
 of the Governor, one thousand stand of arms and equipments, a 
 part of the State's quota from the United States. 
 
 The Governer directs that you call on the commissary for these 
 arms and equipments, and when received to receipt for tlie same, 
 and have them deposited in the State arsenal. 
 
 There is also about two hundred stand of State arras in possession 
 of Joseph Henry, (son of William Henry, of Northampton, wlio 
 manufactured them,) No. 288 Tliird street, which you will also 
 have removed to State arsenal. Those arms are probably in boxes, 
 as well as the former, and if the racks in the arsenal are not made, 
 the boxes can be deposited in the arsenal ; if not boxed they can be 
 set up in the arsenal until the racks are ready. 
 
 The Governor further directs that in case of a threatened invasion 
 of the shores of the Delaware, and you should be called upon by 
 Brig. Gen. Brooke, of the Third division, or Maj. Gen. Steele, of the 
 said division, for arms, equipments, and ammunition, that you fur- 
 nish them with what may be deemed necessary.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO CAFT. SAMUEL COOPER. 
 
 Harrisburg, March 7, 1814. 
 To ('apt. SA>ruEL Cooper : 
 
 Sir : In answer to your letter to the Governor of the 23d ult., 
 relative to pay due your companies, I am instructed to say that 
 there is no power vested in the Governor to order payments to the 
 militia, other than such disbursements as are authorized by law. 
 Your claim for pay not coming within the notice of any existing 
 law of the State, cannot, therefore, be allowed by the accountant 
 officers. The militia of other States who, like you, have been in 
 the service of the United States, urge similar claims. The subject, 
 it is said, is now before Congress, and it will probably soon be 
 
68£ WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 determined by tliat body whetlier such claims oiiglit or ought not to 
 be paid by the United States. Gen. Tannehill being now in Con- 
 gress has a fair opportunity of urging the justice of your chiim 
 against the United States, which ought of right to pay tlie militia 
 from two days before marcliingfrom their respective brigade, for 
 this very substantial reason : The government of the United States 
 claims the fines imposed on those of the militia who are delinquent 
 in not marching to the place of rendezvous in consequence of a re- 
 quisition by the President of the United States. You will please 
 to show this letter to Capt. Turbett.

 Harrisburg, March 8, 1814. 
 To N. B. BoiLEAU, Aid-cle-Camp : 
 
 The detachment of one thousand men, Pennsylvania militia, of 
 which you are constituted and appointed Colonel commandant, hav- 
 ing arrived, or the major part of it, at Erie, the place of general 
 rendezvous, you will as soon as practicable organize (and any that 
 may subsequently to a commencement of organization arrive) into 
 one regiment, to consist of two battalions, and each battalion to 
 consist of five companies. Tiie ofiicer in command is to be a lieu- 
 tenant colonel. Each battalion is to be commanded by a major. 
 Each company to be officered as follows : one captain, one first lieu- 
 tenant, one second lieutenant, and one ensign, four sergeants and 
 four corporals, and each company to consist of one hundred men 
 rank and file. The officers to rank and be selected and appointed 
 according to law. The regiment to have the customary staff, and 
 be constituted and appointed according to law. In the performance 
 of wliich duty it is commanded, that the othcers of your regiment 
 be to you aiding and assisting, and strict and complete obedience is 
 hereby enjoined on all the officers and men of your regiment to all 
 your lawful commands. 
 
 As soon as you shall have organized the regiment as commanded, 
 you will report yourself, and the number of the men under your 
 command, to the nearest general officer commanding for the United 
 
WAR OF 1812-U. 6S9 
 
 States ; and you are ordered and directed to yield complete obedi- 
 ence to any orders issned by your superior officer commanding at 
 Erie, or elsewhere, for tlie United States. 
 
 From the alacrity with whicli very many of j'our detachment vol- 
 unteered there services at an inclmiient season, the Commander-in- 
 Chief anticipates honorable results from citizen soldiers, whose valor 
 is not circumscribed by geographical limits of territory.

 Sir : I have taken the liberty to enclose to your care a letter for 
 James Lamberton, Esq., Brigade Inspector, who is now conducting 
 a detachment of militia, from the Fifth and Seventh divisions, at 
 Erie, requesting that you will have the goodness to have it delivered 
 to him as soon as you shall have learned his arrival at Pittsburgh. 
 By the same mail, you will also receive a package directed to Col. 
 James Fenton, commandant of the said detachment, which I have 
 also requested you to have delivered to him as soon as he shall ar- 
 rive. If he should not arrive witli the detachment, you will then 
 please to have it put into tiie liands of Mr. Lamberton.

 To Col. James Fenton, Pittsburgh: 
 
 Sir : Agreeably to the authority in him vested by the fourth sec- 
 tion of a supplement to the militia law, passed 29th March, 1813, 
 (a copy of which and a copy, also, of another supplement passed by 
 the present Legistature, is herewith forwarded,) the Governor 
 has, by general orders of this day, authorized you to organize the 
 44— Vol. XII. 
 
690 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 Fifth detacliment of Pennsylvania militia unrter your command. 
 Blank commissions, forty-two in number, are also forwarded to you, 
 signed and duly attested. These you will cause to be tilled with the 
 names of such otticers as shall have been selected before marching 
 from their several and respective brigades, or as may be elected at 
 Erie, agreeably to the first mentioned supplement. You will observe 
 that in all cases of selecticm it will be necessary to change the word 
 '■'■elected " in the commissions, and substitute therefor '• designated " 
 or " selected.'''' The number of blank commissions will be sufficient 
 for two majors, ten second and ten tliird lieutenants, and ten ensigns. 
 First lieutenants already commissioned, it is presumed the full num- 
 ber have marched, and probably a sufficient number of ensigns, but 
 to guard against deficiency, ten blanks are also sent for the last named 
 officers. Not having any return from the several Brigade Inspectors 
 of the officers marcljed, entitled to command under the militia law, 
 it is probable that those intended for majors, and, perhaps others, 
 may be useless. All such you will return to this office. 
 By order of the Governor.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO GEORGE ARMSTRONG. 
 
 Harrisburg, March 10, 1814. 
 
 To George Armsthong, Esq., Brigade Inspector, Greensburg, 
 
 Westmoreland county : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 5th ult., has been received. When I wrote you 
 on the 27th November last, it was my impression that the fines were 
 to be collected under the militia law of tliis State. Some time after 
 I saw a letter from the Marsiial to the Adjutant General, directing 
 that report should be made to him of the amount of fines imposed ; 
 that it was his duty to have them collected. I then wrote to the 
 ^Marshal, that if the fines were to be collected by him, or under his 
 order, and paid over to the United States, that it appeared to me 
 that it was incumbent on him to instruct the Brigade Inspectors 
 as to the mode of procedure. In the meantime I wrote to Mr. In- 
 gersoll, Attorney General, for his opinion on the subject. After a 
 considerable lapse of time, I received his opinion, accompanied by 
 that of Mr. Dallas, District Attorney of the United States, whom 
 the Marshal had also consulted, they concurred in opinion that the 
 fines should be collected under the laws of the United States, and 
 for their use. The law of the United States directs that delinquents 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 691 
 
 should be tried by courts-martial, to be composed of militia officers, 
 but gives no direction of the manner of forming that court, nor 
 who is to summon it. It appears to me, however, that it was the 
 duty of the Governor, as Commander-in-Chief, to direct the Adju- 
 tant General to have the courts-martial formed. The President of 
 the United States required the Governor to furnish, for the service 
 of the United States, a certain number of men ; it was his duty to 
 obey this requisition, and enforce obedience to the orders by him 
 given, in consequence of orders given to him by his superior officer, 
 the President. I consider the court-martial as organized under the 
 aiithority of the United States, through the medium of tlie Gov- 
 ernor. It is certain that the law is not as explicit as could be wished. 
 It is equally certain that delinquents ought to be punished, and it is 
 no evidence of patriotism for any individual or set of individuals 
 to encourage the evasion of laws intended for the defence of the 
 rights of our country. 
 
 If official copies of the orders received by the Governor from the 
 President of the United States, requiring those detachments of mi- 
 litia, is deemed necessary, they can be furnished to the courts-mar- 
 tial. It is presumed, however, that court will put sutlicient faith 
 and confidence in the Governor as not to doubt the fact, as stated 
 in his general orders, that the requisitions were made by the Presi- 
 dent. With regard to the expenses of the courts-martial, I wrote 
 you on the 11th ult., and gave you a copy of the Controller General's 
 letter, in which he states that these expenses will be allowed out of 
 the fines collected by the Marshal.

 To John Smith, Esq.. Marshal, Pennsylvania District: 
 
 Sir : The court-martial which sat for the trial of delinquent 
 militia men in Washington county, did not think themselves au- 
 thorized to proceed against such as refused to appear in their proper 
 persons; nor did the court consider they had the power to issue 
 compulsory process to bring them before the court, and if they had 
 such power who was to serve the process. In consequence of tliese 
 doubts and difficulties the refractory escaped punishmen

 On this subject the Governof declines givinij an oijinion to Mr. 
 Dunlap, tlie Brigade Inspector, as the proceedings were under the 
 United States laws, and directed hira to call on you and Mr. Dallas 
 for instructions. Mr. Dallas states that he had so done, but has 
 received no instructions from either of you. Tlie Governor con- 
 siders the matter of much importance, and directs me to request of 
 you, and through you, of Mr. Dallas a decisive opinion on these 
 points, to be furnished to tiiis department, or to the several Brigade 
 Inspectors immediately concerned, of whose names you have a list, 
 that they may have such dii-ections as to enable them to bring this 
 tedious l)usiness to a satisfactory and just conclusion. If the re- 
 fractory escape, a total insubordination amongst the militia will 
 ensue.

 To David Fullerton, E.sq., Greencustle, Franklin county : 
 
 Siu : Mr. Boileau being absent, I answer, by direction of the 
 Governor, your letter dated April the 4th inst., in which, as a mem- 
 ber of a court-martial, held for the trial of delinquent militia men 
 who refusfd to march, agreeably to general orders of the 7th day of 
 February last, predicted on a requisition of the President, you ask 
 information as to whom return of proceedings must be made. That 
 a return, duly certified by the court, must be made to the marshal 
 of the district, appears from the face of the law you cite. Tiiat this 
 ought to be done as speedy as possible, and before the proceedings 
 transpire, is evident. The officer of supervisor of the revenue of 
 the district does no longer exist. Samuel H. Smith, Esq., of the 
 city of Washington, is commissioner of the revenue ; to him it may 
 be proi)er to send a duplicate ; but I know not of any law that re- 
 quires it to be done. 
 
 I am, respectfully.

 To William Clark, Esq.. Paymasttr: 
 
 Sir: In accordance with your letter under date of 23d March, 
 1814, requesting tlie transmission to you of anotlier check on the 
 Branch Bank at Pittsburgh for $7,000, to enable you to pay tiie troops 
 lately ordered into service by Maj. Gen. Mead, I do now (Mr. 
 Boileau being absent) transmit to you such a check, tiie receipt of 
 which you will acknowledge. It was not known here, before the 
 receipt of your letter, that the first detachment from the Second 
 brigade had been retained in service over thirty days. Xur is it 
 recollected that the Governor, in any of his communications, directly 
 or indirectly authorizes sucli a detention in service. It will, there- 
 fore, behoove you to conform strictly to the supplement of tlie 29th 
 March, 1813, and to the act of the last session, intended to cover all 
 lawful expenditures. Your letter has been submitted to the Audi- 
 tor General, and I give you verbatim his opinion, in which the State 
 • Treasurer concurs, as follows : 
 
 "Auditor General's Office, March 18, 1814. 
 His JSxceUency the Governor : 
 
 Sir: Agreeably to your request, I have read Mr. Paymaster 
 Clark's letter of the 23d of last month, addressed to Mr. Boileau. 
 
 In respect to the continuance of the first detacliment of the Sec- 
 ond brigade, in service the second month, it will be necessary for 
 Maj. Clark to furnish, with his accounts of the pay, the requisite 
 evidence for such service ; that is to say, if the second month's ser- 
 vice was in consequence of orders from Maj. Gen. Mead, it must ap- 
 pear that the call and consequent service of said detachment were 
 in conformity to the act for the regulation of the militia of the Com 
 monwealth of Pennsylvania. For, although the act of last session 
 contains a very broad provision as to the pay, &c., of the officers 
 and men called out by Maj. Gen. Mead, the accountant officers are 
 of opinion that the calls must appear to have been made, conform- 
 ably to the act of the 29th March, 1813. 
 
 I have the honor to be, very respectfully. 
 
 Your Excellency's most obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO COL. JAMES FENTOX. 
 
 Harrisburg, May 16, 1814. 
 To Col. James Fenton : 
 
 Sir: In answer to yours of the 4th inst., I am directed to say 
 that there is not in the late, nor in the present, militia law any pro- 
 vision favoring tlie opinion that volunteers in regimental arrange- 
 ments are entitled to any particularly eligible station on parade or 
 otherwise. In the present case, the volunteers having offered their 
 services in substitution of drafts, they appear to stand on the same 
 ground with drafted militia. It is, indeed, matter of regret that 
 under existing laws, no mark of distinction can be conferred no 
 the volunteers of your regiment, as they truly merit some hon- 
 orable notice for their patriotism and zeal in the cause of their coun- 
 try. I refer you to the thirteenth section of an act passed 26th 
 March, 1808, of this State, containing the only provision on the sub- 
 ject, but in it there is nothing as you will perceive, recognizing the 
 preference, which your volunteers claim. The United States laws 
 ai'e also silent on the subject, except that officers of the United 
 States shall take rank of the officers of tlie militia of equal grade 
 whatever may be the dates of their commissions. By the articles 
 of War, see act of Congress April 10, 1806, articles sixty-five and 
 sixty-six, it becomes your duty to order courts-martial for the trial 
 of delinquents and deserters, and such ought to have been the 
 course of procedure in the first instance. Perhaps the proceedings 
 had by the Brigade Inspector against delinquents may yet be au- 
 thenticated by you. On this subject it would be advisable for you 
 to consult the Secretary at War. Deserters ought most certainly 
 to be tried by a court-martial, constituted by you of officers of the 
 respective brigades to which deserters may belong, brought under 
 guard to Erie for trial. This mode, liowever, would be more un- 
 certain, tedious, and expensive than to have them tried at home, 
 witiiiu their proper brigade bounds. On this point it would also be 
 advisable for you to consult tlie Secretary at War. With regard to 
 the pay of the soldiers, you will have to look to the Uuited States. 
 The extra pay under the State law, will be paid at the expiration of 
 their term of service, and arrangements will be made for that pur- 
 pose. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 To Col. John Binns : 
 
 Sir : By direction of the Governor, I herewith enclose a copy of 
 resolutions, passed by the Legislature at tlieir last session, directing 
 medals to be presented to Capts. Perry, Elliott, and Yarnal, and the 
 Pennsylvanians who volunteered on board the fleet on Lake Erie, 
 with suitable emblematic devices thereon, with a request tliat you 
 consult one or more of the most eminent artists in the city, and com- 
 municate the result to him. Perhaps, one die might do for the offi- 
 cers, and one for the privates, liaving the proper names of the per- 
 sons engraved on the medals after they are struck. This, however, 
 is submitted to your better judgment.

 To Col. James Fenton : 
 
 Sir : Yours to the Governor, of the 6th inst., has been received. 
 By a reference to the general orders of February 7, 1814, you will 
 perceive that the detachment under your command was called into 
 service under a requisition of the President of the United States, 
 and, consequently, in the service of the United States, and not of 
 this State. To the United States, therefore, you are to look for 
 monthly pay. The extra pay allowed by the Legislature was, in part, 
 paid at the time of marching; the residue cannot be paid until the 
 term of service has expired, or until the detachment shall be dis- 
 charged under the authority of the United States. It will be well 
 for you to write to the Secretary at War, requesting his attention 
 to the subject of making arrangements to pay the men as it becomes 
 due. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO MR. FULLERTON. 
 
 Secretary's Office, June 8, 1814. 
 To Mr. FuLLERTOX, Judge Advocate : 
 
 Sir: Yours of May ult. has been received, requesting some in- 
 formation on the subject of courts-martial. The Governor does not 
 think it proper to give any official instructions, as tlie detacliment 
 of militia were called into tlie service of the United States, and are 
 to be tried for delinquency under their hands. He thinks it most 
 proper that the proper organ of that government should give the 
 necessary instructions for carrying the laws into effect. On the 
 subject of lines, his private opinion is that they ought to be regu- 
 lated by the monthly pay now existing. This opinion is corrobo- 
 rated by the act of Congress, passed April 8, 1814, (for which see 
 Binn's paper of May last.) the second section of which declares, in 
 all cases, " imposing a tine, limited by the amount of pay, the same 
 shall be taken to have relation to the monthly pay existing at the 
 time tiie offence was committed," and in the proceedings of courts- 
 martial that have been submitted to the Governor, the rule adopted, 
 I believe, has been variant. It appears, however, most rational 
 that as the law of 179o took the monthly pay as the rule by which 
 to regulate fines, the same rule should prevail in all cases, until a 
 different rule should be pointed out by law. Witii regard to the 
 otficer to whom the proceedings of courts-martial shall be sub- 
 mitted for approbation, the sixty-fifth section of the articles of 
 Avar directs that the otlicer who orders the court is the person to 
 approve. In the former cases, the Governor directed them to be 
 held. Some of the proceedings of those courts have been and some 
 have not been laid before him for approbation. In the present in- 
 stance, he gave no direct orders for tiie purpose. If Col. Fenton, 
 the commanding otlicer, gave tlie orders for holding them, and the 
 Governor is rather of opinion he is the proper officer to order them, 
 or at least to sanction the order, then the proceedings ought to be 
 submitted to him. The question, however, is attended Avith diffi- 
 culty, and it would, perhaps, be advisable to consult the Secretary 
 at War on the subject, and request specific instructions from him 
 as to the mode of your procedure. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO COL. JOHN BINNS. 
 
 Harrisburg, June 24, 1814. 
 To Col. John Binns : 
 
 It having, by a resolution of the Legislature, devolved upon the 
 Executive to procure medals commemorative of the victory obtained 
 over a proud and vaunting enemy in a naval conflict on Lake Erie, 
 by Capt. Perry, his officers, and amongst many other valiant men, 
 by certain of the militia of Pennsylvania, who volunteered their ser- 
 vices and fought on board the American squadron, on the ever mem- 
 orable 10th of September, 1813, to be emblematically finished and in- 
 scribed witli suitable devices for presentation to the said officers and 
 volunteer militia aforesaid, and inasmuch as no personal commu- 
 nication by reason of tlie distant residence of competent artists 
 can be iiad, it becomes necessary to confide the said trust to a confi- 
 dential person. I do, therefore, by these presents, appoint and 
 authorize you, tiie said John Binns, aid-de-camp, to contract for, 
 and have sunk the dies and executed the said medals, agreeably to 
 the intent of the Legislature, and within the scope and purview of 
 the before mentioned resolution, first having submitted the design or 
 designs to me for my approbation and further order thereon. And 
 I do also authorize you, by such ways and means as shall to you ap- 
 ])ear best adapted, to procure a designation by name of each indi- 
 vidual of those of the Pennsylvania militia wiio patriotically vol- 
 unteered their services as aforesaid, and if practicable, of their 
 
 respective nlaces of residence.

 Sir : I liave had a conversation with the Governor on the snbject 
 of procuriuff rifles. He lias determined to direct the Adjutant Gen- 
 eral to procure the requisite number. You are, therefore, author- 
 ized to state to such as are disposed to enter your company, that 
 they will be supplied with rifles on loan ; you and your ofticers en- 
 tering into bond to deliver them, when called upon by the Execu- 
 tive for that purpose. I presume, that in case they were lost in ac- 
 tual service, then, in that case, you would not be called to account 
 tor them in any other way than to establish the fact of their being 
 so lost.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN CONNELLY. 
 
 Harrisburg, July 21, 1814. 
 To John Connelly, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 14th inst. was duly received. I have exam- 
 ined the Minutes of Council and also the Journals of Congress, but 
 can find nothing conclusive as regards the right of soil. In the 
 Journals of Congress I perceive that in the year 1777 Congress ap" 
 pointed a committee to wait on the Board of War of this State, to 
 consult and view the works of Billingsport, and report wiiether or 
 not they should be repaired or abandoned. In the Minutes of 
 Council, of July 8, 1779, it appears that api)lication was made to 
 the Board of War, by the garrison at Billingsport, for ordnance 
 stores, to which application the Board replied: "That it is the 
 opinion of this Board, tliat as the garrison of Billingsport are jdaced 
 there at the request of Congress, and to preserve the communica- 
 tion of the Delaware, and that post itself is the property of the 
 United, (the word States omitted, I presume, by mistake,) the sup- 
 plies may be justly deemed continental, and should the State, in 
 tlie first instance, furnish them, it would be a proper charge to the 
 United States." The above is all the information I am able to fur- 
 
t

 nish on the subject. If any purchase has been made by Congress, 
 the records of the State of New Jersey will most probably show it.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN AHMSTRONG. 
 
 Secretary's Office, JuJij 25, 1814. 
 To John Armstrong, Esq., Secretary at War: 
 
 Sir : The Governor has directed me to inclose to you copies of 
 general orders issued by him in compliance with a late requisition 
 for amilitia force from Pennsylvania by the President, communicated 
 by yours, under date of the 4th instant. He has not, as you will 
 perceive, designated places of rendezvous. He thinks it will be in 
 time to do so in subsequent orders, which must issue before the troops 
 can march. The threatened point of attack by the enemy it is prob- 
 able will then be better ascertained, and a more prudent selection 
 of place can be made. The repeal of our militia law of 1807, and 
 its several supplements on the 1st of August next, the disannulling 
 of all the militia commissions on tliat day, by a new law of the last 
 session granted under the old law, except commissions of such offi- 
 cers wlio may be in actual service, the ordering by the new law the 
 holding of elections for officers by the militia after the said 1st day 
 of August, the notice of election returns to be made and the pro- 
 tracting to the fourth Monday of October next, the classification of 
 the militia causes an almost total disorganization of our militia sys- 
 tem between the 1st of August and the fourth Monday of October, 
 and presents difficulties in yielding perfect compliance with the re- 
 quisition of the President insurmountable. It is hoped, however, 
 that the patriotism of the people will obviate the difficulty by a vol- 
 untary tender of service, which the Governor has invited, growing 
 out of the unaccountable oversight of tlie Legislature. 
 
 It is strongly doubted whetlier any orders can be enforced under 
 the present state of things. The requisition refers to the act of 
 Congress, passed 28th February, 1795, under which militia can be 
 held in service three months only, and to the law of 1814, which 
 authorizes the President to keep them six months in service. The 
 law of Pennsylvania, passed at the last session of its Legislature, 
 requires the Governor to mention in general orders the period for 
 which any militia ordered into service is to remain on duty. It is 
 
I 
 
 700 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 cU'sirable, tlu'rcfore, to know whether the requisition is intended for 
 tliree or six month's service. The offices of Deputy Qutiiter-master 
 General and Assistant Adjutant General are not recognized by any 
 of our State laws. I have taken the liberty of enclosino- to you a 
 copy of the militia law of this State, passed at the last session of the 
 Legislature, from a perusal of which you will perceive the dirti- 
 culties under which the executive at present labors in attempting 
 to comply with the requisition. 
 
 With high consideration and respect, 
 
 I am 'sir, your obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN ARMSTROXG. 
 
 Secretary's Office, JtiJy 26, 1814. 
 To John Armstrong, Esq., Secretary at War: 
 
 Sir : I am instructed by the Governor to state to you that he has 
 been informed that a number of militia men, to the amount of 
 nearly thirty, belonging to a detachment of this State, now in the 
 service of the United States, under the command of Col. Fenton, 
 deserted and returned home. A number of them have been ar- 
 rested and committed to prison. The Governor has been asked for 
 instructions with regard to the proceedings to be had against them. 
 He is of opinion, that, inasmuch as they were in the service of the 
 United States, the United States only is competent to give direc- 
 tions on the subject, and for the purpose the present communication 
 is made. In a conversation with Maj. Wallace, of the United States 
 Army, who is at tliis place, he stated that he should feel himself 
 justified in taking charge of them, and returning them to the de- 
 tachment from wliich they deserted, provided that it would not con- 
 sume more time than what was allowed him send men away to who 
 were under liis command at this place of rendezvous. But the dis- 
 tance to Buffalo was so great, that it would require more time tfian 
 he was authorized to employ in such service, and therefore could 
 not do it without instructions from the War department. The ne- 
 cessity of punishing officers of the above description is obvious, to 
 prevent the evil consequences which must result from their being 
 couunitted with impunity. I respectfully ask your attention to the 
 subject.

 To John Armstrong, Esq., Secretary at War: 
 
 Sir : I deem it but necessary to lay before you a copy of a letter 
 from Liberty Brown, President of the select council of the city of 
 Philadelphia, representing the defenseless state of that port, and of 
 the shores of the Delaware generally, to call your immediate atten- 
 tion to that very important section of Pennsylvania, in the now very 
 critical state of our country. I have taken the liberty of adding 
 copies of documents transmitted to me at the same time, which have 
 relation to the subject, and with which you may possibly not have 
 been furnished. 
 
 The council, it would seem, as long as twelvemonths since, prof- 
 fered their aid to the United States in perfecting works of defence. 
 Permit me to say that it is extremely desirable that the fears which 
 appear so strongly to pervade the minds of the inhabitants of our 
 metropolis ought, as speedily as possible, to be allayed, and to add 
 assurances of consideration and respect.

 July 19th, accompanied with the documents having relation to the 
 defence, against an invasion by the enemy, of Philadelphia and the 
 Delaware genenilly. lie has made it a subject of communication 
 to the Secretary at War, and trusts that measures, prompt and effi- 
 cient in their nature, will now be taken to quiet the fears of our me- 
 tropolis. The Governor's personal attendance to public business 
 has been almost unremitted for the last eight months, and his pre- 
 sence, now more than ever, required at the seat of government. 
 Neither can he perceive the necessity that he should, at this partic- 
 ular time, be at any other place other than at this place.

 N, B. BOILEAU TO WILLIAM S. SMITH. 
 
 Secretary's Office, July 28, 1814. 
 To William S. Smith, Esq., Judge Advocate: 
 
 8in : The Governor cannot approve the proceedings of the court- 
 martial of which you were Judge Advocate, for the following rea- 
 sons : It does not appear, on the face of the proceedings, to what de- 
 tachment the militia belonged who were fined ; whether they, or any 
 of them, were to have served in consequence of the first, second, or 
 third general orders; whether they were ordered on service before 
 or subsequent to the 1st of December, 25i^. There were no march- 
 ing orders on tlie 31st March, 1812. If antecedently to 1st December, 
 1812, the fine may be $60; if subsequently, the fine may be as high 
 as $9G. You will, hence, perceive the necessity of sucli designation 
 as will fix, as well, the time the order or orders issued which were 
 disobeyed, as the precise sum each individual is fined, for as it now 
 stands it is uucertain whether those fined twelve months' pay shall 
 pay 800+ or $96-|-. It, therefore, becomes necessary, before the 
 Governor can act, that the proceedings have another heading and 
 conclusion, signed by the President and yourself, containing the es- 
 sential requisites above laid down. The court, certainly, ought to 
 have tried all the delinquents and deserters, under whatever orders 
 they marched, or were to have marched. It has been understood, 
 (perhaps erroneously,) that one description of delinquents only was 
 tried, and tlie rest, perhaps the most culpable, are permitted to es- 
 cape.

 Sir : A certain Moses Scott and Andrew Wilson, have applied to 
 the Governor for remission of fines imposed on them by a court of 
 appeal in consequence of their refusal to obey the order of Gen. 
 Mead calling out the militia en masse. They found their plea for 
 a remission upon the ground, that they had but recently returned 
 from a tour of six months' duty under the command of Gen. Crook,

 in the northwestern army. I have been instructed by the Governor 
 to inquire of you, wliether or not the facts are as stated by tlie ap- 
 plicants, and if true, that you suspend all proceedings against them 
 for the recovery of the fines, until he lias determined on the expe- 
 diency and justice of granting their request.

 To Gen. John Wilson : 
 
 Sm : Yours to the Governor, of the 25th ult., has been received. 
 As there is no provision in the late militia law relative to division 
 staff, the Governor does not think himself authorized to give any 
 specific instructions on the subject. I understand it is tlie practice 
 in the army of the United States for the General to select his aids 
 from the commissioned officers of the line, and announcing their 
 appointment in general orders, and directing that they be respected 
 accordingly. In the militia law of the United States, passed 8tli 
 May, 1792, section two, the Major Generals are entitled to two aids, 
 to rank as Majors. Perhaps it would be competent for you, under 
 that law, to appoint two aids, and to announce their appointment, 
 and direct them to be respected accordingly by a general order. I, 
 however, only suggest this, without being authorized to instruct 
 you to adopt it.

 retary at War, the Governor instructs me to state to you that if the 
 government of the United States thinks it necessary to make a re- 
 quisition for a militia force for tiie protection of that post, he will, 
 with as much promptness as practicable, comply with such requisi- 
 tion. Should the danger apjjear so imminent as to preclude the 
 probability of the militia being brought to that point in time by 
 the ordinary mode of proceeding, the Governor has no doubt but 
 the patriotism of the militia in the vicinity, if appealed to, would 
 f urhish prompt and efficient means of defence. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO MESSRS. R. M. CRANE, G. EICHOLTZ,

 Secketary's Office, August 3, 1814. 
 To Messrs. R. M. Crane, G. Eicholtz, and R. T. Leech : 
 
 Gentlemen : In f urtheranceof the laudable object contemplated 
 by an association of individuals, for the purpose of forming a com- 
 pany of artillery for the common defence, the Governor has author- 
 ized me to state, in answer to your communication of yesterday, 
 that as soon as a company shall have been constituted agreeably to 
 law, he will assume the responsibility of ordering to be delivered to 
 the company one or two pieces of brass ordnance out of the arsenal 
 at Philadelphia, and a competent number of muskets, if required. 
 Every other facility authorized by law or by usage will be given to 
 the company, after it shall have been organized. In case of a call 
 into actual service, the United States officer commanding in the 
 district is authorized by a circular from the Department of War, 
 under date of 22d ult., to furnish such arms, aecouterments, and 
 stores as shall be conducive to the public service. No legal exist- 
 ence can, in the opinion of the Governor, be given to the association 
 under any other law than the militia law of the last session. 
 Very respectfully, gentlemen. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. WILLIAM H. WINDER. 
 
 yECRETARY'S OFFICE, August 11, 1814. 
 
 To Gen. William H. Winder : 
 
 Sir : I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 6th 
 and Sth inst., to the Governor, on the subject of the quota of Penn- 
 sj'lvania militia required to be lield in readiness for the service of 
 the United States. In consequence of the present deranged state 
 of our militia system, great difficulties occur to. the Executive. 
 The only efforts that could be made towards a compliance with the 
 requisition was, to order a designation, for service, of the requisite 
 troops, under the militia law of 1807, before its repeal, Avhich took 
 place on the 1st inst., and all commissions under that law then be- 
 came void, except of such officers as might be on service on that day. 
 The orders of the Governor under that law have issued, and are now 
 executing. So soon as returns are made to him by the Adjutant 
 General, you will be informed of the number and description of 
 troops detached for service. By an unaccountable oversight of the 
 Legislature at their last session, no legally organized militia can be 
 completely made in Pennsylvania, until after the fourth Monday of 
 October next. Before that time no classification of the militia is to 
 take place, so that it is doubtful whether men can be coerced into 
 service under any existing laws. Proceedings are now commenced 
 for new officering and organization of the militia, under the new 
 system. Anxious as the Governor is to furnish an efficient force, 
 yet he cannot refrain from expressing a wish that no occasion may 
 occur, requiring any militia from this State before an organization 
 has been effectual under the existing laws, as he has strong fears, 
 vmder present circumstances, that the principal reliance must be 
 had on volunteers alone, and that many delinquencies will happen 
 in what is deemed the ordinary militia, as it is apprehended it may 
 occur with impunity. 
 
 With regard to the place of rendezvous, the Governor has thought 
 of flxhig it in the neighborhood of Peach Bottom Ferry, on the Sus- 
 quehanna, near Maryland line, unless you should think proper to 
 suggest some other point as more advantageous. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO CAPT. HENRY SIIIPPEN. 
 
 Secretary's Office, August 12, 1814. 
 
 To Capt. Henry SniPPEN,iaTicas«er; 
 
 Sir : I received a letter from you some days since relative to the 
 purchase of rifles. The Adjutant General was instructed to procure 
 two hundred and fifty, of which one hundred was to be gotten at 
 Lancaster, and one hundred at Philadelphia, and I was to endeavor 
 to procure the remaining fifty at this place, wliich I am not able to 
 do. I presume that the Adjutant Genieral has directed Maj. Light 
 to attend to the business at Lancaster. Of this fact, however, you 
 can readily inform yourself. I request you to procure fifty, the n um- 
 ber I failed in getting here. It would be very desirable that all the 
 rifies sliould be of the same calibre witli those of the United States. 
 You will consider this letter as authorizing you to procure the num- 
 ber of fifty rifles of the description I have mentioned, if practicable. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, &c., 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 :N'. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. WILLIAM GILLILAND. 
 
 Secretary's Office, AuQust 12, 1814. 
 To Gen. William Gilliland : 
 
 Sir : At the instance of tiie Governor, I give you the following 
 extracts from a letter recently received from the Secretary at War, 
 in answer to one I wrote to him respecting deserters from Colonel 
 Fenton's detachmants : "■ Such deserters as have been apprehended 
 should be safely returned to the corps from which they deserted, to 
 be tried conformably to the usages of service, there being no other 
 difference between those and deserters from the regular army than 
 the right of being tried by militia officers." 
 
 The time of service of the detachment of militia now on the lines, 
 and from which desertions occurred, is so short that deserters could 
 not be now returned there for trial before the term would expire, 
 and there being no militia officers now in commission of proper 
 grade to form a court-martial, except those in actual service, it is 
 the intention of the Governor to order a court for their trial, to be 
 formed of their officers now in actual service, as soon as they return. 
 Tlieir commissions, under the new law, are to continue valid until 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 707 
 
 thirty days after their tour of duty has expired . And a court formed 
 of such material will, perhaps, be the most competent, and will be 
 able to procure the best evidence with the least difficulty or delay. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO LIBERTY BROWN. 
 
 Secretary's Office, August 13, 1814. 
 To Liberty Brown, Esq., President of the Select Council: 
 
 Sir : I wrote to you on the 28th ult., informing you that the Gov- 
 ernor had made a communication to the Secretary at War respect- 
 ing the defenceless state of the shores of tlie Delaware, predicated 
 on the information derived from your letter of the 19th ult., and 
 the documents accompanying it. I now enclose to you a copy of his 
 answer to the Governor's communication, from which it appears 
 tliat he has also written to the corporation on the same subject, a 
 copy of which he furnished the Governor. It is confidently expect- 
 ed that such arrangements will be speedily adopted as to quiet any 
 fears excited in the minds of the people. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir.

 K. B. BOILEAU TO SAMUEL HART. 
 
 Secretary's Office, August 19, 1814. 
 To Samuel Hart, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : In answer to yours of the 12th inst., I have to state that in 
 case of your forming a rifle company and tendering your services, you 
 will be supplied with rifles at the public expense, if they can be pro- 
 cured. I endeavored to procure some at this place, but failed. The 
 Adjutant General has directed one hundred to be manufactured at 
 Lancaster, but they will not be completed before sometime in Octo- 
 ber. He has also directed a like number to be made at Philadelphia. 
 
708 WAR OF 1812-U. 
 
 Wlien tliey will be done I am not informed. You may consider this 
 letter as authorizing you to procure fifty or sixty in tiie city or else- 
 where, in case your company is formed. If you consult Mr. Binns 
 he probably can inform you who is to inspect those manufactured 
 in tlie city, and should you procure yours then the same person can 
 inspect them, if at another place, you can suggest a proper inspec- 
 tor, and he will be appointed for that purpose. When inspected and 
 delivered, or ready for delivery, the manufacturer sending an order 
 to me to receive the money accompanied by a certificate of the in- 
 spector, the amount will be forwarded either to you or to him. It 
 would be desirable to have all the State rifles alike, at least to cali- 
 bre. Those already bespoken are to be three feet two inches in length 
 of barrel, and to take one half ounce ball. I presume such are 
 those of the United States. They ought to be plain, without unnec- 
 essary ornament. Such, I understand, can be had at Lancaster for 
 fifteen dollars each. Mr. Binns could probably inform you of the 
 price in the city. Horns and pouches for ball you can manufacture 
 yourselves, or procure them at small expense. It will be necessary 
 for the commissioned officers of the company to give bond to the 
 Governor for tlie value of the rifles, conditioned to re-deliver them 
 when lawfully required, in good order. But if lost or injured in 
 actual service, such circumstance will be duly considered. 
 Yery respectfully, sir,

 the Governor, requiring a detachment of one regiment of militia, to 
 consist of one thousand, to be marched to the city of Washington 
 with tlie least possible delay. The Governor is absent; but I im- 
 mediately sent the letter to him, and expect he will be here to-mor-

 be here also, to facilitate as much as possible the marching of the 
 detachment, to assist in the necessary arrangements.

 Gen. William H. Winder : 
 
 Sir : Tiie Governor, in compliance with the requisition contained 
 in your letter, received the 23d instant, ordered into the service of 
 the LTnited States five thousand men to rendezvous at York, in this 
 State, on the 5tii day of September next. It becomes necessary to 
 obtain information whetiier on that day the necessary tents and 
 other camp equipage can l)e furnished at that place, the State not 
 being able to furnish more than sufficient to accommodate one thou- 
 sand men. There will also be a considerable deficiency of arms and 
 accoutrements which the State cannot supply. 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N.B. BOILEAU, 
 Note. — The following is Gen. Winder's letter on which the fore- 
 going letter is predicated : 
 
 William H. Winder to Gov. Simon Snyder. 
 
 Washington City, August 18, 1814. 
 His Excellency Simon Snyder, Oovernor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : In consequence of the arrival of a large re-inforcement to the 
 enemy at the mouth of the Potomac, I am authorized and directed 
 by the President to require from you, immediately, the whole num- 
 ber of the militia of Pennsylvania designed for this district out of 
 the requisition of the 4th July last, to wit : Five thousand men. 
 
 The letter of Secretary Boileau, see August 11, has just reached 
 me. It is to be deplored that the situation of the militia of your 
 State is such as Boileau represents. The spirit, however, of the 
 people will, I hope, in this awful crisis, supply all defects of the laws, 
 by voluntarily rallying them around the standard of their country. 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 711 
 
 The danger to the capital of our country is extreme, and I am au- 
 thorized by the President, without regard to the designated quotas 
 of the late requisition, to call such militia aid as may be necessary. 
 In the present state of things, therefore, and the imminent danger 
 which threatens my district, I must beg you to call out and send to 
 me, from the counties nearest my district, either as volunteers, or 
 in any otlier manner, all the force you can detach. This requisition, 
 from the situation of your militia, and the pressing urgency of the 
 occasion, is not clothed in the form whicli more leisure and a better 
 arrangement of the militia would permit and require ; but, since we 
 inust rely, it seems, principally upon tlie voluntary form, I have 
 been unlimited, because, I fear, with all t!ie efforts which can be made, 
 the number obtained will be short of the demand. 
 I am, sir, with very great respect, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 WILLIAM H. WINDER, 
 Brigadier General Commanding Tenth 3iiUtary District. 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU TO .TOHN ARMSTRONG. 
 
 Harrisburg, August 27, 1814. 
 To John Armstrong, Esq., Secretary at War : 
 
 Sir : I am directed by the Governor to enclose to you a copy of 
 general orders issued yesterday. The letter of General Winder 
 containing the requisition, under date of 18th inst., was not re- 
 ceived until the evening of the 23d. The deranged state of our mi- 
 litia system prevented more prompt compliance with the demand. 
 To obviate, as far as practicable, the inconvenience of delay, the 
 Governor has directed the flank and volunteer companies to push, on 
 as rapidly as possible, without any regard to the time fixed on for 
 the general rendezvous of the ordinary drafts. The commanding 
 officers of the companies or detachments are instructed to report 
 themselves, with the number of men, to General Winder, or the 
 officer who may have the command of the troops in the service of 
 the United States in the Tenth military district. 
 
 The tents, camp equipage, as well as arms and accoutrements, be- 
 longing to the State, being insufficient to accommodate the troops 
 called into service, the Governor relies on the deficiency being sup- 
 plied by the United States as promptly as practicable, to render the 
 men comfortable and efficient. 
 
 With high consideration and respect. 
 Your obedient servant,

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO N. B. BOILEAU. 
 
 To N. B. BoiLEOU, Aid-de-Vamii : 
 
 The landing upon our shores by the enemy hordes of marauders for 
 the purpose avowedly to create by plunder, burning, and general de- 
 vastation, all possible individual and public distress, gives scope for 
 action to the militia of Pennsylvania by repelling that foe, and with 
 just indignation seek to avenge the unprovoked wrongs heaped on our 
 unoffending country. The militia, generally witliin the counties of 
 Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Schuylkill, York, Adams, and Lancas. 
 ter, and that part of Chester county which constitutes the Second 
 brigade of the Third division, and those corps particularly, who, 
 wlien danger first threatened, patriotically tendered their services 
 in the field, are earnestly invited to rise, (as on many occasions Penn- 
 sylvania has heretofore done,) superior to local feeling and evasives 
 that might possibly be drawn from an imperfect military system, 
 and to repair with that alacrity which duty commands, and, it is 
 fondly hoped, inclination will prompt, to the several places of brigade 
 or regimental rendezvous that shall respectively be designated by 
 the proper officer, and thence to march to the place of general ren- 
 devous. 
 
 Pennsylvanians, whose hearts must be gladdened at the recital of 
 the deeds of heroism achieved by their fellow-citizen soldiers now 
 in arms on the lake frontier and within the enemy's country, now 
 the occasion has occurred, will, with ardour, seek and punish that 
 same implacable foe, now marauding on the Atlantic shores of two 
 of our sister States. Under these impressions, and confident that 
 obedience will be given to the pressing call of our country, the Com- 
 mander-in-Chief issues the orders, following : 
 
 General Orders. 
 
 Harrisburg, August 26, 1814. 
 
 To .John M. Hyneman, Adjutant General: 
 
 Y''ou are commanded, in conformity to a retiuisition from the 
 constituted authorities of the Union, to have prepared for march- 
 ing, and to have marched to York town, in the county of York, the 
 place of rendezvous, five thousand men, Pennsylvania militia, from 
 the Second brigade, Third division, and from the Fourth, Fifth, and 
 Sixth division, which detachment is to consist of volunteers wlio 
 have, or who may tender their services, of fiank companies, in- 
 fantry, and riflemen, who are to march in companies, and of drafted 
 militia designated for service under general orders of the 22d July, 
 last past, which shall be organized into one division and two brig- 
 ades, (if not otherwise directed,) on the 5th day of September next. 
 
WAR or 1812-14. 713 
 
 agreeably to law, and conformably to the regulations prescribed for 
 the United States Army. 
 
 For the command of which division I designate Maj. Gen. Watson 
 and Brig. Gens. Jolm Forster and John Addams. The Major Gen- 
 eral and the officers and men under him are to obey the commands 
 and execute the orders of Gen. William Winder, commandant for 
 the United States within the Tenth militia district. 
 
 Tlie troops may be marched from York, either in division after 
 organization, or in smaller bodies before organization, if it further 
 the service and Gen. Winder shall so direct, and to such place as by 
 him shall be designated. 
 
 The term of service to be six months unless sooner discharged by 
 the authority of the United States.

 gade, which you were ordered to have detached and organized, by 
 a general order of the 22d July last, on the 5th day of September 
 next. 
 
 The infantry and riflemen in your brigade are considered as a part 
 of the quota, and will march in companies. The officers and men

 and knapsacks.

 Sir: The Adjutant General stated he would write to you with 
 regard to making arrangements to provide provisions for the men 
 as they shall arrive at the place of rendezvous. If he has not, you 
 are hereby authorized to employ some suitable persons for that 
 purpose. I have written to Mr. McCoy, at Carlisle, contractor for 
 the Pennsylvania district, on the same subject. You can commu- 
 nicate also with him. The Adjutant Genei'al will be at York in 
 a few days, provided "with the means to defray any expenses that 
 may have occurred. All the camp equipage belonging to the State 
 is at Philadelphia. It has been ordered to York. It will not be there 
 until near the close of next week, and is not more than sufficient 
 to supply one thousand. The Secretary at War has authorized the 
 delivery of such articles by the commander of the district. Gen. 
 Winder commands the district of Maryland, the Tentli. The Secre- 
 tary at War is proliably at Fredericktown, and perhaps Gen. Win- 
 der is in that neigh borliood, to either of whom application might 
 be made for supplies.

 You are hereby authorized to purchase the requisite number of rifles 
 to supply the company, the expense of which will be immediately 
 paid at the treasury, on the production of the necessary vouchers 
 for their having been delivered to you. The earlier you march the 
 more gratifying it would be to the Governor. The commissions will 
 be made out with the least possible delay and forwarded to you. A 
 letter was written to Major Light yesterday requesting his imme- 
 diate attention at this place, for the purpose, among other things, of

 Harrisburg, 21111 August, 1814. 
 
 To N. B. BoiLEATJ, Aid-de-Camp : 
 
 The recent destruction of the capital of the United States, the 
 threatened and probable conflagration of the metropolis of sister 
 States, and the general threatening aspect of affairs, wai'ranting 
 the opinion that an attack is meditated by the enemy on the shores 
 of the Delaware, the Governor, to guard against surprise, and to 
 have ready an efficient force of freemen to repel the enemy in case 
 of such an event, orders and directs that the militia generally, within 
 the counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, Ches- 
 ter, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, Berks, Schuylkill, Lehigh, North- 
 ampton, and Pike, (in addition to those drafted and designated for 
 the service of the United States, under orders of the 22d of -July, 
 
716 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 who iiro already subject to the orders of Gen. Bloomfield,)be held in 
 readiness to march, at a moment's warning, to such place as may be 
 named in subsequent orders tliat will issue, if the exigencies of our 
 countrj' sliall re([uire. 
 
 The several IJrigade Inspectors, within their respective bounds, 
 are commanded to execute promi)tly this order. The Generals and 
 other officers are urged to assist in the providing of equipments for 
 tiie men. Those for whom arms cannot be found, within the re- 
 spective brigade bounds, will, it is presumed, be furnished by the 
 United States, at the place of rendezvous. 
 
 It is confidently expected that the ardor and love of country which 
 l>ervade the hearts of Pennsylvanians, at the present alarming crisis, 
 will induce many to form themselves into volunteer corps, and im- 
 mediately to march for Philadelphia. It is thus a proper spirit, to 
 resist an intolerant foe, will be evinced and many difficulties obvi- 
 ated. The Governor promises himself the satisfaction of meeting 
 there an host nerved with resolution to live free or die in defence of 
 their liberties and their country. He will act with them in any 
 capacity for which his talents shall fit him.

 Harkisburg, August 27, 1814. 
 Gen. Jacob Eyster : 
 
 Sir : To aid, as far as our scanty means will permit, the patriotic 
 citizens of Gettysburg and its vicinity, who have resolved to march 
 into a neighboring State, and there to assist its citizens to defend 
 against the enemy, the important city of Baltimore, threatened 
 with destruction, I have taken immediate measures that there be 
 transmitted to your care (300) three hundred muskets, (out of about 
 six hundred at this place.) Horsemen's swords and pistols the State 
 possesses not any, nor have we any camp equipage but what remains 
 in Philadelphia, which is ordered to York town, to supply, as far as 
 it will go, five thousand militia from this State, ordered to rendez- 
 vous there on the 5th September, and are to be placed under the 
 command of General W. Winder, the commandant for the LTnited 
 States in the Tenth military district. That ofiicer is ordered by the 
 Secretary at War to furnish militia the articles you desire. To him, 
 or to the Secretary at War, both of whom I presume are near you, 
 I would advise an application whilst the volunteers are organizing. 
 The honorable feeling which now pervades the breast of Americans 
 it is hoped will induce a submission to unavoidable inconveniences, 
 and those privations inseparable from war, and induce, also, a reli- 
 ance, with confidence, for remuneration on the justice of their 
 country. You will please to receipt to the carter for the muskets 
 and cartridge-boxes, and transmit a duplicate thereof to the Secre- 
 
718 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 tary of the Commonwealth ; and be pleased, also, to make known 
 the contents of this letter to the gentlemen whose resolves you en- 
 closed to me. For them, and for yourself, accept assurances of high 
 respect.

 To Charles Riddle, Esq. : 
 
 Sik: Impressed with tlie importance of the subject of your com- 
 munication, under date of the 26th instant, and of information 
 previously received through other channels, I have issued general 
 orders (of which 1 do myself the honor to inclose a copy) for the as- 
 sembling at Philadelphia a military force, which, I trust, will prove 
 sufficient to protect the city of Philadelphia, and for the repelling 
 of any enemy that may be tlirown on our sliore. The other matter 
 contained in your communication in the nature of queries, can be 
 answered when an investigation and closing of the accounts ])y the 
 Adjutant General has been had. Nor can I perceive it to be of im- 
 portance to know whether a portion of any specific appropriation is 
 to be applied for the defence of any particular section of the State. 
 The present militia law, however, imperfect in many of its parts it 
 is discovered to be, in its twenty-ninth section has made provision 
 commensurate with any necessary expenditure connected with the 
 militia system. So soon as the necessary arrangements are here 
 made, to permit my absence, I shall have the honor to visit Pliila- 
 delphia. 
 
 I beg you accept for the committee of defence, and for yourself, 
 personally, assurances of consideration and esteem.

 who is appointed paymaster to the detachment to rendezvous at 
 that place, or in tlie hands of Archibald S. Jordan. It may not be 
 Improper to mention to you that, in consequence of the alarm at 
 the city of Philadelphia for the safety of that place, and the press-

 leaving this place to-morrow for the city, to assist in making ar-

 COMMITTEE OF DEFENCE OF PHILADE].PHIA TO GOV. 
 
 SNYDER. 
 
 Philadelphia, August 30, 1S14. 
 2b his Excellency the Governor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : The Committee of Defence were this day informed, that, by 
 an order from the Adjutant General of this Commonwealth, dated 
 the 27th inst., the Brigade Inspectors of the two brigades of the 
 First division of Pennsylvania militia, have been required to for- 
 ward to York, all the camp equipage, &c. in their possession, and 
 the Deputy Quarter-master General has been required to forward 
 to the same place, all the arms and ammunition belonging to the 
 Commonwealth in this quarter. 
 
 The Committee presume that this order was given before there 
 was a knowledge of the necessity there might be for an assemblage 
 of militia in this part of the State, and tliey have therefore in- 
 structed us to represent to your Excellency that all the arms, am- 
 munition, and camp equipage thus ordered, are requisite here, and 
 that there removal might be attended with the most serious injury, 
 and to express their hope that your Excellency will see the propriety 
 of immediately countermanding the order. 
 
 The person who bears this letter will wait for your Excellency's 
 
 answer. 
 
 We are, with great respect, 
 
 Your Excellencey's most obedient,

 To Messrs. Thompson Browne, James L. Craft, and Duncan 
 
 S, Walker, Carlisle: 
 
 I have received your letter dated yesterday ; but, as the Governor 
 and Secretary of the Commonwealth have gone from this place, in 
 consequence of a very pressing invitation from the councils of Phil- 
 adelphia, to consult on the best means for defending that city against 
 the enemy, I am not able now to answer your letter addressed to him. 
 It shall be immediately forwarded, by this day's mail, to the Gover- 
 nor, at Philadelphia, and as soon as I am authorized, I will lose no 
 time in communicating his answer to you. 
 I am, very respectfully.

 Sir: Tlie Governor has directed me to submit, through you, to 
 the Committee of Defence, the following enquiries, which, he flat- 
 ters himself, the committee will, as early as possible, answer. 
 
 He prefers written communications for many reasons, amongst 
 wliicli are this obvious one, that misapprehensions frequently arise 
 from verbal communications. 
 
 First. What is the present state of defence, other than that au- 
 thorized by Government, as to men, arms, ammunition, equipments, 
 and camp equipage ? 
 
 Secoitd. How many men, and what species of force are (under 
 the present state of information as to the enemy) deemed necessary 
 for defence ? 
 
 Third. Have any plans of defence been agreed upon independ- 
 ently of, or in conjunction with the United States Government, 
 and how far (if any have been "agreed upon) have they been exe- 
 cuted, and what is expected from the Commonwealtii ?

 United States, for the volunteers from the country, as to quarters, 
 rations, and forage.

 To Jacob G. Tryon and Daniel Sharp, Brigade Inspectors^ Sec- 
 ond and First Brigades, First Division : 
 
 Sir : The Governor has directed me to enquire of you what pro- 
 gress has been made in the purcliase and pi'ocuring by you, in your 
 capacity as Deputy Quarter-master General, of the several articles 
 of military stores and equipments, directed to be purchased and 
 procured under general orders of the 18th July last. You will sus- 
 pend, until otherwise instructed, the transportation from this city 
 to York, under orders of the Adjutant General of the 27th August 
 last, any ammunition, camp equipage, arms, or other military stores. 
 To prevent unauthorized interferences, it is necessary to state that 
 there is no officer known to our laws other than Brigade Inspectors, 
 or the deputy or deputies of the Adjutant General, in any of the 
 capacities in which, by virtue of his commission, that officer is au- 
 thorized to act.

 REMOXSTRANUE OF PHILADELPHIA VOLUNTEERS. 
 
 Camp Bloomfield, September 2. 1814. 
 
 Brig. Gen. Bloomfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Mili- 
 
 tarij District : 
 
 r>iR : The undersigned officers of the volunteer corps now en- 
 camped at Kennett Square, beg leave to address you on a subject 
 closely connected with the welfare of the companies under their 
 command. 
 
 If the services exjtected from them are worth exacting, they con- 
 ceive that they should be enabled correctly to perform them, and 
 finding obstacles to their improvement and utility, they would be 
 wanting in their duty to the cause in which they serve were they to 
 omit to represent them. 
 
 Tliey left tiie city under an impression, founded no less upon their 
 own belief in the incompetency of the commanding officer of the 
 draft of Pennsylvania militia, than upon assurances, derived as they 
 understood from yourself, that he would have no opportunity to 
 expose their iionor or their lives. 
 
 They were informed that they should either be permitted to select 
 their own leaders, or that officers of the LTnited States Army, on 
 whose experience, talents, and tried integrity they migiit clieerfully 
 and confidently repose, would direct their operations. Having been 
 disappointed in these expectations, they trust that it will be no de- 
 parture from military duty or violation of respect for tiieservice 
 in which they are now enrolled, to suggest their earnest and united 
 desires that tlie person Avhonow officiates as the commanding officer 
 at tliis camp, may be superseded in his command. Of liis utter in- 
 competency, arising perhaps principally from a total want of ex- 
 perience, they are compelled to express their firmest conviction. 
 Whether the battalion be designed promptly to meet a well ap- 
 pointed and experienced enemy, or to undergo a course of dicipline 
 prei)aratory for future services, they conceive tlieniselves equally in- 
 terested in a change. To your own sense of what is due to tiiem 
 and their corps tliey submit these suggestions, and merely will add 
 that if consistent with the arrangements of your district, they will 
 gladly i)lace themselves under the command of Maj. Charles \V. Hun- 
 ter, a gentleman who has been long known to some of them, and 
 whose deportment, since their immediate connection with him be- 
 gan, has inspired them all with the utmost confidence. 
 
 We have the honor to be, with the utmost respect, 
 Sir, your most obedient servants,

 CONDY RAGUET TO THOS. CADWALLADER. 
 
 Camp Bloomfield, 
 Kennett Square, Septemhfr 3, 1814. 
 
 Tiios. CADWALLADER, Esq. : 
 
 Dear Sir ; I take the liberty of making a communication to you, 
 wliicli, though not to be considered as official, may, perliaps, be ser- 
 viceable to you as a member of the sub-committee of defence. 
 
 Colonel Berry made his appearance here on the 1st inst.,and took 
 command of this encampment on the 2d. He was accompanied by 
 Major Bozarth, as commander of the battalion of militia. Imme- 
 diately on the Colonel's arrival the officers of tlie battalion of vol- 
 unteers held a conference, whicli resulted in a resolution to protest 
 against his continuance in command, and, in consequence thereof, 
 a remonstrance to General Bloomfleld upon the subject was pre- 
 pared and signed by all the officers present in the camp, without a 
 single exception. In order to save the feelings of Mr. Berry, a copy 
 of the address and signatures was communicated to him, accom- 
 panied by a note, in which it was stated tliat if he would resign, the 
 remonstrance would be suppressed. He has made no communica- 
 tion in answer thereto, and the document has been, officially, handed 
 to Major Hunter, the Brigade Major of General Bloomfleld. 
 
 Yesterday Major Vogdes appeared, and it was announced on pa- 
 rade this morning, in orders, that he would take command of the 
 battalion of volunteers precisely at twelve o'clock. Captain Bid- 
 die and myself felt it incumbent upon us to state to him the senti- 
 ments which were entertained by the officers upon this occurrence, 
 and explicitly declared to him, that "there was not an officer or sol- 
 dier in the battalion of volunteers that would march into action 
 under Colonel Berry, or either of his field officers, and that the 
 proper course for them to pursue was to withdraw from their re- 
 spective, commands." 
 
 Now as these gentlemen have not yet manifested any intention 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 725 
 
 of this kind, it is absolutely necessary that these officers be remov- 
 ed, or tlie trooi)S at this encampment cannot be viewed as an effect- 
 ive force. Tlie difficulty, I tliink, can be remedied in one way only, 
 which is to get the Major General to organize the volunteers now 
 in camp, and tliose expected to join us, into a regiment. This 
 would, perhaps, b*^ practicable, and would, I think, be satisfactory 
 to all. I am clearly of opinion that the Committee of Defence 
 should interefere in this business, and endeavor to remove the ob- 
 stacles which are so injurious to the public service. 
 
 Captain Biddle is well, and is acquainted with my intention to 
 write to you upon this subject. 
 
 Yours respectfully, 
 
 COXDY RAGUET. 
 
 Dear Sir: I perfectly concur with Captain Raguet in tlie opinion 
 he has expressed, as to the immediate necessity of organizing the 
 volunteers at this camp into a regiment, as the only mode of ren- 
 dering our services efficient. Should the present militia field-officers 
 continue in command here, the most alarming confusion will cer- 
 tainly take place. 
 
 Most truly yours,

 that he has ordered a suspension, until further orders, of the order 
 by the Adj utant General, dated 27th same month, directing the trans-

 Brig. Gen. Joseph Bloomfield : 
 
 Sir : It is of importance at this eventful crisis to know^ how much 
 of the ordnance, small arms, ammunition, military stores, and 
 camp equipage now deposited in the United States arsenal near this 
 city, can, in case of emergency, be furnished on your order for the 
 Pennsylvania militia, in conformity to any order you may have re-, 
 ceived from the Secretary at War. If, as is represented, there are 
 in the arsenal a quantity of rilles, the best weapon in the hands of 
 undisciplined men, it is desired to know whether any of them and 
 how many can be had on loan, or on any other terms, for the use of 
 such of our militia who are now or that may eventually be ordered 
 into service.

 or till yesterday, consequently you could not have an answer within 
 the period requested. 
 
 As the militia that are drafted, as part of the detachment which 
 are ordered to rendezvous at York town on Monday next, will have 
 marched before this reaches you, it is not now necessary to answer 
 that part of your letter which relates to those that have been drafted. 
 I shall, therefore, only observe that, if the contemplated volunteer 
 corps bring themselves within the provisions of the militia law, 
 commissions will be granted to the officers that may be elected. 
 
 The patriotic feeling of you and your associates is highly and 
 justly appreciated by the Governor, and he trusts that your example, 
 and that of others in Lancaster, will have the happy effect to excite 
 in may more the like spirit which has influenced your conduct.

 Sir : T am directed by the Governor to apprise you, that one 
 thousand muskets, deposited in the United States arsenal, near this 
 city, assij^ned to Pennsylvania as part of the quota from the United 
 States, have by mistake, he presumes, been delivered by the order 
 of Gen. Bloomfield to a detachment of militia from this city, and 
 now in the service of the United States. Before the Governor was 
 informed of the disposition of the arms by Gen. Bloomfield, he had 
 directed them to be transported to York town to be placed in the 
 hands of the militia who were ordered to rendezvous there on the 
 5th instant, in consequence of a requisition made by Gen. Winder, 
 and. who were not furnished before their arrival at that place. 
 
 The consequences likely to result from this measure, may prove 
 detrimental to the public service, unless the same number of arms 
 be immediately delivered by the United States in their stead, at 
 York, the place of rendezvous of the detachment. 
 With high respect and consideration, 
 
 I am, sir, your obedient servant,

 War Department, Septeiniber 4, 1814. 
 His Excellency the Governor of Pennsylvanm : 
 
 Sir : The uncertainty existing, respecting the movements of the 
 enemy, at this time, calls the attention of the government, with 
 much interest, to those cities which are most likely, by their wealth 
 and importance, to invite an invasion. Among these Piiiladelphia 
 holds a distinguished place. Everything will be done for their de- 
 fence that may be practicable. 
 
 The distance not being too great, the force called into service for 
 the defence of each, acting in combination, must, so far as circum- 
 stances will permit, contribute to the defence of the whole. I have 
 the honor to enclose you a copy of a letter to General Bloomfield, 
 wiiich will explain more fully the views of the President on this 
 subject, and to assure you that I shall be happy to communicate 
 with you fully on the measures which may be deemed necessary for 
 the defence of our country, and to cooperate with you in tlie same. 
 I have the honor to be. 
 
 Your Excellency's most obedient servant, 
 
 JAS. MONROE. 
 
 JAMES MONROE TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 War Department, September ^, 1814. 
 His Excellency the Governor of Pennsylvania: 
 
 Sir : By accounts from tlie mouth of the Patuxent, at nine 
 o'clock last niglit, the enemy's fleet, with all their troops on board, 
 was still suspended there, awaiting, as was supposed, the return of 
 the squadron from the Potomac. Every effort which the means in 
 possession of the Government have permitted has been made, and 
 is still making, to cut off their retreat and destroy this squadron. 
 Many gallant officers of the navy have luiited their exertions with 
 those of the land forces in this undertaking, and much hope is en- 
 tertained that it will not be unvailing. It is possible that the force 
 at the mouth of the Patuxent may, in case this squadron should be 
 put in imminent danger, attempt to relieve it. Such an attempt 
 would only be made by an attack on our batteries, which might be 
 approached either by land from the Patuxent to the Potomac, or 
 by sailing up the Potomac. For either of these movements, the 
 best preparations will be made here that circumstances will permit. 
 
730 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 It is equally possible that tlie force at the mouth of the Patuxent 
 lias already moved either against Baltimore, Philadelphia, Xorfolk, 
 or Riciimond. That it will soon move against some one of those 
 places cannot well be doubted. Desolation is its object, and the 
 wider it is spread the more completely will that object be accom- 
 plished. It is known that the enemy promises themselves, from the 
 waste of our country and dist^'ess of our people, a base submission 
 to their will. Little do they understand the true character of this 
 virtuous and free nation. They deceived themselves by those vis- 
 ionary calculations in our i-evolution, and the result of this contest 
 will prove that the American people are not less faithful to their 
 principles than the British Government is to its vindicative and 
 barbarous policy. 
 
 Should either of these cities be invaded, all possible support will 
 be given to it by the Government. The force already organized in 
 the defence of each will be relied on principally, especially in the 
 first instance, for the purpose. 
 
 But as the enemy, in making either the distinct object of their 
 vengeance, relieving the others, for the moment, from the pressure, 
 a. portion of the force assembled for the defence of the latter may 
 be spared for that of a neigliboring sister town. Tiiis object will 
 be attended by the Government in due time; and I state it, that 
 having it view, you may be enabled to give it the best etfeet which 
 circumstances will permit. 
 
 The city of Phibidelphia, I am aware, offers by its wealth a strong 
 inducement to the enemy to make an attempt on it. Its population, 
 however, being great, its organized and well trained force consider- 
 able, much confidence is entertained that it will make a defence 
 worthy the high character which it sustains with tlie nation. 
 
 To repel such danger, it will be necessary for you to have your 
 force in the best possible preparation for action ; to watch the 
 enemy's movements in every direction, and to communicate to me 
 without delay every circumstance deserving of attention. 
 I have the honor to be, with 
 
 Great respect, your very obedient servant,

 such as may be received must be receipted for conformably to the

 Sir : I acknowledge the receipt of your letter by Mr. Bryan. 
 About an hour before tlie Governor left tliis place on Tuesday last, 
 I had some conversation with him about sending some V)lank com- 
 missions to the place of rendezvous ; at first lie seemed inclined to 
 order them on, but at lengtli, upon further consideration*, lie con- 
 cluded that it would not be necessary, and directed me to fill up and 
 issue those that he had signed from time to time as returns would 
 be made to tlie office. This I have done, as far as returns have been 
 made by the inspectors, without waiting for returns from you. 
 Those returns must be made by you, hereafter, from the returns we 
 have. Considering, however, the urgency of the business, the delay 
 that may happen in writing for the returns, and afterwards sending 
 on the commissions, and being satisfied that you will not issue the 
 commissions without having regular returns and vouchers, I have 
 ventured to forward to you, by express, fifty blank commissions for 
 officers ■elected under tlie provision of the militia law for seven years, 
 and thirt}-two of another description, intended for officers of vol- 
 
732 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 unteer corps that have engaged for short jieriods, and wlio are not 
 within tlie districts called upon or order(Hl into service, for which 
 you will give the express a receipt, expressing the number of blanks 
 and descri])tion of the commissions. Of all the commissions that 
 you issue, you will please to forward to this office a correct list to be 
 entered in your books. 
 
 I am, respectfully. 
 
 Your friend,

 To Col. John Connelly : 
 
 Sir : It has been represented to the Governcu" that there is a brass 
 field-piece in the neighborhood of Sites' tavern, on the Lancaster 
 turnpike road. The Governor requests you to enquire into the fact ; 
 and you, or any person you may appoint, are a,utliorized to demand 
 and receive from any person in whose possession said piece may be, 
 and have the same brought to this place and put into complete re- 
 pair for field service.

 Gentlemen : Not having received an answer to my letter ad- 
 dressed to you some time since, on subject of the State Arsenal, and 
 the various representations made to the Governor with regard to its 
 situation, I am directed to urge you to make report, to him, of the 
 state of that building, whether it is completed and sufficiently clean 
 and fit to receive arms, camp equipage, &c., which may be procured 
 for the use of the Commonwealth.

 To Thomas Cadwalader, Chairman of Sub- Committee: 
 
 Sir : The resolution adopted by the Committee of Defence, dated 
 yesterday, presented to the Governor by the sub-committee, of which 
 you are tlie cliairman, contemplating an aitplication by him to the 
 Secretary at War, for permission to the city of Philadelphia to en- 
 list three regiments of infantry, to be employed in the service of 
 the United States in this military district, is not, in his opinion, 
 sufficiently explicit on the head of expense which may be incurred 
 by such a measure, in the first instance, nor as to what is eventu- 
 ally expected from the United States. 
 
 Very respectfully, sir. 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 X. B. BOILEAU TO GEN. NATH'L WATSON. 
 
 Philadelphia, September G, 1814. 
 To Gen. Nath'l Watson : 
 
 Sir : I enclose to you a copy of a letter from the Secretary at War. 
 By this you will perceive a deposit of arms and equipments is made 
 at Carlisle, for supplying tlie militia called into tne service of tlie 
 United States, and made subject to the requisition of the Governor. 
 His requisition is enclosed. The next day after the Governor issued 
 his orders I wrote to the Secretary at War and to General Winder, 
 informing them of tlie deficiency of arms, equipments, and camp 
 equipage, for the detachment ordered to rendezvous at York, urging 
 that provision should be made to meet that deficiency. I fear, how- 
 ever, that, owing to the confusion that probably occurred in conse- 
 quence of the disasters at Washington, it has not been made. I 
 trust, however, that the patriotism of the men under your command 
 is such that they will submit cheerfully to privations that were out 
 of the power of the Governor, or the United States, to prevent. It 
 would be gratifying to the Governor to hear from you. 
 Very respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 ply the militia under his command at York, who have been called

 JAMES MONROE TO GEN. BLOOMFIELD. 
 
 War Department, 
 Washington, ylpri/ 6, 1814. 
 Brig. Gen. Bloomfield, FhVadelphia : 
 
 Sir : I have liad the honor to receive your letter of the 2d of this 
 montli, by Col. Duane, Adjutant General of the Fourth District. 
 
 Considering the city of Philadelpliia by its wealth and imimrtance 
 a principal object of the enemy in the desolating and barbarous sys! 
 tem of warfare wliich it has adopted, my attention was diawii to it, 
 with a view to its protection, as soon as I took charge, by request of 
 tiie President of this Department, although at the time many of its 
 duties, i)articularly the operations in the neighborhood of this city, 
 pressed heavily on me. Tlie passage of the enemy's squadron down 
 the Potomac, notwithstanding tiie opposition made to it, while it 
 has relieved us from pressure here, increase our apprehension for 
 other exposed cities. 
 
 It is the decided opinion of the President, that preparation for 
 the defense of the city of Philadeli)hia should be made without de- 
 lay, and on an enlarged scale, looking, nevertheless to important 
 and essential points, and carrying tlie measures adopted into effect 
 with the utmost degree of economy. 
 
WAR OF 1S12-14. 735 
 
 The approach of the enemy to the city by water ought to be ren- 
 dered utterly impracticable, which it is presumed may be soon done. 
 For tills purpose a strong work at the pea patch appears to me to be 
 an object of great importance, another at Mud Island, cannot fail 
 to be very useful. Batteries on the shore contiguous to those places 
 may be necessary for their support ; and at other points slight works 
 for the annoyance of the squadron as it moves up, should the at- 
 tempt be made. 
 
 Gen. Swift, aided by Gen. Williams, will be able to decide on the 
 proper plans in each instance, and to execute what may be decided on. 
 What works it may be proper to erect for the defense of the city by 
 land, it is impossible for me to suggest at tiiis distance, with such 
 information as I possess of the land force which the enemy may take 
 against it, and of the force which we may have there to opi)ose it, 
 my decided opinion is that wherever the enemy may land, we should 
 have a force there to oppose them ; that we sliould attack tliem by 
 light parties, if not at the moment equal to them in tlie field, and never 
 give them a moment's rest. The enemy's force at this time ought 
 not to be estimated at less than eight thousand men ; the soundest 
 opinion seems to be, that they brought up against this city not less 
 than five, and many persons who had good opportunities of obtain- 
 ing correct information think tiiat it exceeded six. Hence then some 
 re-inforcements have been received, and we ought to count on 
 others. I think, therefore, that the preparation for the defense of 
 the city of Philadelphia should be formed on that scale. It may 
 not be necessary to call the whole force alluded to immediately into 
 the field, but a respectable force from counties at some distance, 
 which could not be brought into service in time to repel the inva- 
 sion after it should be made, should the call be so long delayed, 
 ought to be assembled, and a camp formed of it at some proper point 
 without the city, bearing on the quarter from which the enemy may 
 be expected to approach. The precise point at which tliis camp 
 ought to be formed I cannot pretend to designate. I am inclined 
 to think that it ought to be on some commanding healthy ground 
 between the Schuylkill and the lieights of the Brandywine. Siiould 
 such a camp be formed of a force drawn from counties not immedi- 
 ately in the neighborhood of the city, and every arrangement neces- 
 ary for it, and for the additional force which the contemplated inva- 
 sion may require be emplo}' ed, it is presumed that the additional force 
 to be drawn from the city and the neighboring counties may in tljat 
 event soon be brought into activity. By this suggestion I do not 
 mean that any force now collected not exceeding the number requi- 
 site from whatever quarters drawn, should at this time be dismissed. 
 We must keep togetlier a nucleus, at least of an army, witli every 
 necessary equipment sufficiently strong to oppose the enemy on his 
 landing, till you can get the whole together to overwhelm him. 
 
736 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 The force assembled must be armed at once, and arms must be 
 collected for any force which may be hereafter called into the field. 
 The Commissary General will be instructed to, procure such arms 
 and tents as are necessary. 
 
 In the present state of affairs here, it is impossible to remit to you 
 the money which may be absolutely necessary for these purposes. 
 I have, however, already accepted a draft in favor of Mr. McKoy, 
 which has satii^fied that demand ; and to put you at your ease for 
 the future, I transmit to you a letter of credit on the Bank of Penn- 
 sylvania, for the sum of $200,000, which I hope the directors will 
 not hesitate to advance as you may require it, especially as the whole 
 sum will be expended in the payment of the troops, and in erecting 
 works for the defence of the city. 
 
 In carrying these objects into effect, a free communication will be 
 proper and eminently useful with tlie Government of Pennsylvania 
 and tiie Committee of Safety in Pliiladelphia ; on their support full 
 confidence is reposed ; on it, and on the virtue and patriotism of the 
 citizens of Pennsylvania, the safety of the city may depend ; and by 
 reposing full confidence in them, you will do them only justice, and 
 by appealing to, and relying on, generous motives, you will secure 
 to the execution of necessary measures, by their powerful coopera- 
 tion, greater utility and effect. 
 
 I have the honor to be, &c., 
 (Signed) JAMES MONROE.

 ing an order by the War Department, dated 3d inst., directing that 
 you should issue, on the requisition of the Governor, from the stores 
 of the Commissary General of Purchase, arms and equipments. It 
 is of inii)ortance to know in time what may be the quantity of the 
 several articles at your disposition, so that should there be deficien-

 sary su[)ply.

 Philadelphia, September 7, 1S14. 
 To the Honorable Secretary at War : 
 
 Sir: I have the honor to submit to you a copy of a resolution 
 adopted by the Committee of Defence for tlie city of Pliiladelpliia. 
 Its importance, I presume, will command an early attention, and, 
 if consistent with the arrangements of the War Department, an 
 immediate compliance with the request it contains. 
 
 The application to enlist troops to be employed exclusively in this 
 military district is made with the greater confidence of success, be- 
 cause the citizens of New York (as it is said) have a similar species 
 of force assigned for their protection. I enclose, also, copies of a 
 short correspondence between the Secretary of the Commonwealth 
 and a chairman of a sub-committee of the committee of defence, 
 from which will be learned more particularly tlie views of the com- 
 mittee as regards the expense of the contemplated measure. 
 I am, sir, respectfully, 
 
 Y'our obedient servant,

 Sir : The Governor directs, that in case the field piece belonging 
 to the company formerly commanded by you requires repairs that 
 cannot be made in the country, that you will direct it to be brought 
 to Philadelphia for that purpose. Direct it to the care of Daniel 
 Sharp, Esq., Inspector of the First Brigade, First Division. If the 
 company are organized and prepared to march, let them come on 
 immediately, and their piece will be returned to them in good re- 
 pair, if sent to this place for that purpose. You will urge their 
 preparation, as well as all other volunteer companies within the 
 bounds of your regiment.

 Sir : I have in contemplation to make a suggestion to the Secre- 
 tary at War, to order the detachment of five thousand Pennsylvania 
 militia that rendezvous at York on the 5th inst., for the defence of 
 the city and the shores of tlie Delaware, if occurrences on the Ches- 
 apeake do not urge their march there, agreeably to Gen, Winder's 
 requisition. But before I do so, the higli consideration I have for 
 the commandant of this military district, dictates this communi- 
 cation. If, sir, it has your iipprobation, I will feel obliged for a 
 statement of the force you now have, or contemplating in the field 
 in a short time.

 Sir : In reply to your letter of the 7th instant, I liave the honor 
 to communicate the following information : Tliere is now on hand 
 the following arms. Their condition is as correctly described as it 
 is in my power. From the total amount, however, 3,500 must be 
 deducted, as they have been ordered for the States of New Jersey 
 and Delaware and for Fort Mifflin. Tiiose for the fort are brass

 1,(540 Springfield muskets, fit for service. 
 1,200 French do. do. 
 
 1,465 English do. do. 
 
 1,520 Contract do. do. 
 
 3,000 English muskets will be fit for issue in one week. 
 2,117 German muskets unfit for service, and will require much re- 
 pair to make them in any respect serviceable. 
 4,200 Contract muskets also wanting very considerable repairs.

 There are not a sufficient quantity of equipments in store to com- 
 ply witli existing- orders. 
 
 A number of rifles are in store wliicla miglit, perhaps, be rendered 
 fit for service, at least a part of them", originally 1,700. Perhaps 
 200 of them have been issued.

 To Joiix Williams, Esq., Chairmnn: 
 
 Sir : I accorri, in sentiment and opinion, witVi the sub-committee 
 of defence, dated tlie 3d iiist., (a copy of which lias been submitted 
 t(» me by General John Steele, a member of said committee,) on the 
 subject of a communication to the committee, from the correspond- 
 ing committee of the Northern Liberties, wherein they request that 
 the Commiteee of Defence will take measures to enable the several 
 district committees to give a pledge that the members of organized 
 volunteer corps, whose service sliall have been accepted by the com- 
 mittee, shall not be liable to militia duty, '' For the obvious reasons 
 I hat (however much is to be applauded the general American spirit 
 whicli prompts tiie volunteer tender of service under consideration, 
 and however willing to foster it) it is not competent for the consti- 
 tuted authorities of this, or of the United States, without the ex- 
 press sanction of law, to employ, for local purposes, and in a par- 
 ticular manner, any such volunteer associations.

 SIMON SNYDER TO JAMES MONROE. 
 
 Philadelphia, September 9, 1814. 
 To James Monroe, Esq., acting Secretary at War: 
 
 Sir : If tlie army now assembled at Baltimore be deemed adequate 
 to a defence of that place, against any disposable force which the 
 enemy may land on the shores of the Chesapeake, I would like the 
 liberty to suggest, if consistent with other arrangements, the pro- 
 priety of employing the detachment of Pennsylvania militia tliat 
 rendezvoused at Y^)rk town on the 5th instant, for the defence of 
 this city and the shores of the Delaware. This suggestion grows 
 from strong doubts wlietlier asufticientforce can, on a sudden emer- 
 gency, be collected on tlie shores of the Delaware to repel an invad- 
 ing foe. For we must, at present, rely more on the patriotic feeling 
 which pervades Pennsylvania, than on coercing obedience to our 
 militia law, and before that feeling may have an effect, the enemy, 
 by rapid movements, may have effected his depredatory incursions. 
 If this suggestion cannot be acceded to, then I would beg leave to 
 intimate that it might contribute to the security of this city, as 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 741 
 
 well as of Baltimore, if an intermediate point was selected for the 
 encampment of the detachment, from which it might be marched 
 in a few days either to the Delaware or Chesapeake.

 Sir : Believing from my own observation, as well as from the in- 
 formation of others, that the task at present of discharging the 
 various duties attached to your office is too great for the exertions 
 of any individual, I therefore authorize you to employ one pprson 
 at the expense of the Commonwealth, to assist you in performing 
 the same during the period for which you may supply and furnish 
 the volunteer corps, who have, or are now assembling at Philadel- 
 phia, under general orders of the 27th of August last, and for whose 
 conduct you are to be responsible.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO JAMES MONROE. 
 
 Philadelphia, September 10, 1814. 
 James Monroe, Esq., Acting Secretary at War: 
 
 Sir : In pursuance of an invitation in your general order of tlie 
 27th August last, about six hundred volunteers have arrived and 
 many others are on their march hither, for the defence of tliis city. 
 They are organized into companies and officered agreeably to tlie 
 militia law of this State, which admits of some of volunteer com- 
 panies to consist of forty-five privates. It has been suggested by 
 Gen. Bloomfield that they form a camp at Marcus Hook, about 
 twenty miles from this city, and be organized conformably to regu- 
 lations adopted by the army of the United States, and to be ])lHce 
 under his command. They evince a disiiosition cheerfully to march 
 to and serve at any point to which they may be directed. But as 
 each company volunteered their services under the impression that 
 they would be commanded by officers of their own chocsing, a right 
 
742 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 guaranteed to tlieni by the law of tlie state, tliey would not readily 
 fibniit to a consolidation of comi)auies, or any organization^ that 
 would divest them of their legal privileges ; and an atteiTii»t to en- 
 force the measure would, 1 appreliend, he attended with conse- 
 quences highly injurious to the public service. I would, therefore, 
 propose that after they shall have been organized into battalions 
 and regiments, agreeably to the militia law of this State, they could 
 be placed and continued so organized, under the command of Gen. 
 Bloomfield for three months, the term for which they tendered their 
 servic.es. I shall only add that no other mode occurs to me at 
 present by which harmony can be maintained.

 Philadelphia, September 12, 1814. 
 To CilAKLES BiDDLE, Esq., ChairDian of Committee of Defence: 
 
 Sir. : Tiie Governer concurs as to the propriety and necessity of 
 adopting all tlie measures suggested in a report of the General Com- 
 mittee of Defence, dated tlie Sth, and presented the 9th instant, by 
 their cliairnian, and is willing to adopt any legal or constitutional 
 means in his power to carry those measures into full and complete 
 operation, but he, in common with the Committee, feels not only 
 the responsibility, but the difficulty, if not impracticability, of en- 
 forcing them, so long as no autliority can be legally exercised to 
 compel tlieir enforcement. He is sensible that at a crisis like the 
 present it is expected lie will exercise not only all the authority ap- 
 l)ertaining to him as the " first civil magistrate of Pennsylvania," 
 but also all tliat of " its military commander-in-chief," nor is he at 
 all desirous to shrink from the performance of any duty, or the ex- 
 ercise of any autliority which he can constitutionally exercise in 
 either of those capacities. lie has, therefore, assiduously examined 
 the constitution and the laws, and he is not aware tliat it is in his 
 power to compel tlie people to do the things wliich tlie committee 
 have suggested. Under this view of the subject he asks permission 
 to observe that if the General Committee of Defence will prefer for 
 imblication a report of the several duties which, under all circum- 
 stances, may be imposed upon the citizens, as means of impeding, 
 distressing, or in any way annoying the enemy, that he will cordially 
 and promptly cooperate in recommending their adoption, and in giv- 
 ing them all the effect which can be derived from his official station. 
 He embraces this occasion to state to the committee that the re- 
 moval up the river, as far as the water will admit, of all the ships 
 and crafts not contemplated to be employed in the general defence, 
 as a measure imperiously called for. It would now be attended 
 Avith little comparative expense, and it might be better appropriated.

 To N. B. BoiLEAu, John Binns, and William Duncan, AiqIs- 
 
 de-Vuni}') : 
 
 In conformity witli tlie tliirty-tirst section of an act entitled "An 
 act for the regulations of tlie militia of this Commonwealth," the 
 Governor directs that the uniform of the Pennsylvania militia shall 
 be as follows : 
 
 General Officers. — Their coats to be blue, faced and lined 
 with buff. They may embroider the button-holes on the collar. 
 Their epaulettes, sworcl mounting, buttons, spurs, buckles, and trim- 
 mings to be gold or gilt. Buff vests, breeches or pantaloons. 
 
 The General Staff and Field Officers. — To wear chapeaux 
 of the following form : The fan not less than six and a half, nor 
 more than nine inches high in the rear, nor less than fifteen, nor 
 more than seventeen inches from point to point, bound round the 
 edge with black binding half an inch wide. The wearing of feathers 
 is dispensed with. The company officers may, with the consent of 
 the field officers of the regiment to which they belong, wear any 
 other uniform hat than the chapeau. 
 
 The coat of the Infantry and Artillery shall be blue, edged with 
 red. It shall be single-breasted, and have ten buttons, the length 
 to reach to tlie bend of the knee. The standing collar to rise to the 
 tip of the ear. The cuffs sliall be plain, of tlie same color of the coat, 
 and not less than three nor more than tliree and a half inches wide ; 
 the bottom of the breast and two hip buttons to range. Vest, 
 breeches, and pantaloons white. Blue pantaloons may be worn in 
 the winter. Vest single-breasted, without pocket-flaps. 
 
 Epaulettes, sword mounting, buttons, spurs, buckles, and trim- 
 mings of the Artillery, gold or gilt ; those of the Infantry, silver or 
 plated. The sword to be of the saber form. 
 
 Black stock, of leather or silk ; cockade blue and red, of leather 
 or silk. It is recommended that the cockade be always worn on duty, 
 or in service, or when in requisition. Volunteer corps may select 
 their own uniform, but the cockade of the State cannot be dispensed 
 with. It is earnestly recommended to the officers of the militia to 
 use their best exertions in their several commands to induce the 
 non-commissioned officers to wear worsted epaulettes. That the ex- 
 pense may not be an obstacle, it is ordered that their uniform be a 
 gray coatee, and pantaloons of the same color. In summer, hunting 
 shirts and trowsers may be worn. A round black hat, the rim not 
 to exceed three inches. Any particulars not above prescribed may 
 
746 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 be supplied by reference to tlie regulations prescribed for the array 
 of the United States. 
 
 As a due proportion of military oride and uniformity of dress is 
 important to form the character of a soldier, it is expected that 
 every man who may be called upon to defend his home, his country, 
 and his rights, will exert himself promptly, to carry these orders 
 into complete effect. It is judged proper to embrace this occasion 
 to recommend to officers and men to procure all the materials for 
 clothing and equipments of American manufacture.

 Philadelphia, Sei>temher 13, 1814. 
 To Thomas Lieper, Esq. : 
 
 Sir : In answer to an inquiry contained in a resolution of the 
 general committee pi'esented last evening to the Governor, he di- 
 rects me to state that Gen. Bloorafield having ordered into service 
 the troops for the service of the United States from the Second brig- 
 ade. First division, he will have in tlie field shortly four tliousand 
 men. About seven hundred men, volunteers under general orders 
 of the Governor of the 27th ult., have arrived, and are now en- 
 camped at the city hospital, it is confidently believed the number 
 will increase to two thousand men during the present week. Some 
 volunteer companies from the city have made a tender of their ser- 
 vices, the number is not ascertained, nor how many of those patri- 
 otic corps are now in the field under Gen. Bloomfield. 
 
 The Governor, by a letter of the 7th inst., has suggested to the 
 War Department in defence of this city, the five thousand men, 
 Pennsylvania militia, now at York, originally destined for the com- 
 mand of Gen. Winder. 
 
 Independently of the four thousand men now in the field, and 
 ordered out by Gen. Bloomfield, there yet remains detached for the 
 service of the United States, five thousand militia subject to the 
 orders of Gen. Bloomfield. The Governor takes the liberty through 
 me, to suggest to the committee, who have more immediately the 
 subject of fortifications under their superintending care, that if the 
 works planned and projected by Gen. Williams were actually com- 
 menced, it would attract the attention of the citizens of the ad- 
 jacent country to that important object, and prove a strong incite- 
 ment to aid in their execution. If the intimation should be ^t- 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 747 
 
 tended to, and some persons placed ateacli of the contemplated for- 
 tifications, under the direction of a competent person, tlie Governor 
 would then deem it proper for him to recommend to all civil and 
 military officers and others in the vicinity of the respective works, 
 to render volunteer aid in their erection. 
 
 With high respect and consideration, 
 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 N. B. BOILEAU, 
 Secretary. 
 
 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO JOHN M. HYNEMAN. 
 
 Philadelphia, September 13, 1814, late at night. 
 
 To John M. Hyne3IAN, Esq., Adjutant General Pennsylvania 
 
 Militia, at York : 
 
 Sir : Yours to Mr. Trimble of the 9th instant is now before me, 
 havinfj been forwarded to this place by express. 
 
 The old commissions of militia officers designated for service are 
 not expired. See thirty-sixth section of the present militia law, 
 third paragraph. They must command tlie drafts, unless they re- 
 linquish voluntarily to the new officers. That drafts under the old 
 law, which directs there shall be eight classes, and that eight com- 
 panies shall form a regiment, shall be commanded by officers elected 
 under the new law, which directs there sluill be ten classes and ten 
 companies in each regiment, is an absurdity. It was because there 
 could be no drafts made under the new law, until after a classifica- 
 tion, which is to take place after the fourtli Monday in October 
 next. That the general orders of the 22d July last were framed as 
 they are, having express reference to the old law. Commissions, 
 such as can lawfully issue, are forwarded by John Osier, the ex- 
 press. If any further difficulties should occur, because commissions 
 of the form required should happen not to be now forwarded, let 
 the troops, notwithstanding, marcli, and forward their names, rank, 
 &c., and such commissions as can lawfully issue should be sent to 
 them. The officers of those companies who have volunteered their 
 services, having associated, perhaps, with a view to obviate tiie 
 difficulties created by the present law, may have commissions as 
 volunteers ; but let them be for seven years. The next Legislature i 
 I am sure, will be disposed to correct the vast and manifold evils of 
 the present law. 
 
 Your presence here is absolutely necessary. So various and mul- 
 tiplied are the duties of the Brigade Inspectors of the First divi- 
 
748 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 sioii, that it is impossible for them to discharge them all. In a letter 
 to the Secretary at War, I have suggested, for special reasons, which 
 I trust will have desired effect, that the troops at York be directed 
 to march for the defence of the shores of the Delaware. This sug- 
 gestion grew out of an opinion that the Baltimorians had a force 
 more than sufficient to repel the foe, that here we were almost with- 
 out any defence, &c. 
 
 If ]5rigade Inspector Stanley's detachment should happen to prove 
 a surplussage of men, over and above five thousand you will, in that 
 case, order them to march his detachment by the nearest and best 
 route to Marcus-Hook, on the Delaware, where, on the 19th instant, 
 will rendezvous a detachment of militia from Chester, Delaware, 
 Montgomery, and Bucks. 
 
 Very respectfully, your friend, 
 
 SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 GENERAL ORDERS. 
 
 Philadelpha, September 13, 1814. 
 
 To , Brigade Inspectors of the Brigade of the Di-

 You are commanded, in conformity with a requisition of this day 
 by Brig. C4en. Bloomfield, commandant for the United States, in the 
 Fourth military district, to march, with all possible dispatch, the 
 flank companies of Light Infantry and Riflemen (who are to march 
 by companies) and drafted militia, the quota detached from your 
 brigade for the service of the Union, under general orders of the 
 22d of July last, to Marcus Hook, on the Delaware, by tlie nearest 
 and best route, there to rendezvous on the 19th instant, and to be 
 formed into a brigade, for the command of which I designate Brig. 
 Gen. Samuel Smith, of Bucks county. The term of service to be 
 six montlis, unless sooner discharged. 
 
 The detachment (as far as practicable) must be completely armed , 
 and provide themselves with blankets and knapsacks, &c. But any 
 who do not possess the means of supplying themselves with knap- 
 sacks and canteens, will be furnished at the place of rendezvous. 
 Tents and other equipments will be provided by the Government. 
 
 All officers of your brigade are commanded to aid and assist you 
 in the prompt execution of these orders,

 Nath'l B. Boileau, Esq. : 
 
 Dear Sir : When at York with the militia, the General wished 
 to honor me with the appointment of Inspector and Adjutant of 
 the division. They urged me to accept of it, and I consented, upon 
 coiidition that it would not interfere too much with the duties of 
 Brigade Inspector. When 1 returned home, I found that my absence 
 from the brigade, for any length of time, would be attended with 
 great inconvenience, &c., to the militia, and I immediately sent 
 back a person to York to inform them tliat I could not leave home 
 without, in my opinion, forfeiting the appointment I now hold. As 
 they promised to write to the Governor on the subject, I would 
 thank you to inform his Excellency that I am at home, and ready 
 to execute the duties of the brigade.

 To Gen. Bloomfield : 
 
 Siu : 1 liave tlie lionor to aclinowledge the receipt of your note of 
 this date, on the subject of tlie volunteers assembled at tlie City 
 Hospital, and have to state, so soon as they, with other volunteer 
 corps w ho are on their march to this city, in pursuance of my orders 
 of the 27th of August last, are organized into battalions, regi- 
 ments, and armed, and the field othcers commissioned, they will be 
 directed to march to Marcus Book, or to such other place as you 
 may direct, subject to your further orders for the term of three 
 months, tlie time for which they volunteered their services. It is, 
 however, to be understood that no change in the organization of the 
 companies, battalions, or regiments can take place, and that they 
 shall enjoy all the rights secured to them by tlie laws of the State, 
 under the faith of which they have volunteered their services. 
 
 rerniit me, sir, to suggest that in the present state of alarm it 
 would tend much to inspire confidence if the militia from tiie 
 Eighth and Ninth divisions, as numbered in the militia law of 1807, 
 being the militia of the first named division within the counties 
 of Northami)ton, Pike, Lehigh, and Northumberland — Union, Co- 
 lumbia, Luzerne, Susquehanna, and Wayne, composing the militia 
 within the other, under which law the drafts were made, agreeably 
 to my orders of the 22d of July last, and which are designated for 
 the service of the Union, were immediately ordered into service. 
 Those of the Eighth could be brought to this place in a shoit time ; 
 those of the Ninth division are more distant.

 Messrs. Samuel Breck, Boyd Reily, and Matthias Keen : 
 
 Gentlemen : The Governor duly appreciates your patriotic in- 
 tentions of forming a volunteer corps, and the tender of your ser- 
 vice in the cause of our common country ; but a requisition having 
 been made by Gen. Bloomfield for the quota of militia detached for 
 his command, and some of tlie men belonging to your association, 
 it would appear, have been drafted and detached for that service. 
 Under those circumstances tlie Governor deems it improper to give 
 any order or opinion that might interfere with the arrangements 
 that may have been contemplated by the commander of this military 
 district.

 X. B. BOILEAU TO JOHN SERGEANT. 
 
 Philadelphia, Septemler 15, 1814. 
 To JoHX Sergeant, Chairman of the sub-committee : 
 
 Sir : To questions contained in certain resolutions adopted bj' the 
 General Committee of Defence, copies of which were presented to 
 tlie Governor yesterday, I am instructed to answer — 
 
 First. That there are not arms and equipments at the disposition 
 of the Governor, more than sufficient to supply the militia liable to, 
 and called into actual service. As regards ammunition there ample 
 materials, and instructions have been given to have a sufficient 
 quantity hxed, both by the Governor and General Bloomfield. 
 
 Second. The Secretary at War, by letter dated the 4th inst., in- 
 formed the Governor, that he had ordered to be deposited at Car- 
 lisle, ten thousand stand of arms and equii)ments subject to his or- 
 der. Of this Gen. Watson, who commands the detachment at York, 
 was apprised by letter dated the 6th inst. But a letter from the Ad- 
 jutant General at that place, with post-mark of the 10th, the Gov- I 
 ernor is informed that the deposit had not then been made at Car- 
 lisle. 
 
 On the 9th inst., a letter was addressed, by the direction of the 
 Governor, to James Lamberton, Brigade Inspector at Carlisle, di- 
 recting him, with all possible dispatch, to forward to this place five 
 thousand stand of arms, wyth the requisite equipments. This let- 
 ter was sent by mail to Harrisburg, and from thence forwarded by 
 express. No information has j^et been received from Maj. Lamber- 
 ton. lie being a vigilant officer there can be no doubt of his imme- 
 diate attention to the order, if the deposit has been made. 
 
 Third. No answer has been received from the War Department 
 relative to the enlistment of a regular force for the defence of this 
 district. 
 
 Fourth. With regard to calling out the whole body of militia, the 
 Governor holds it under advisement. Tlie principal difficulty which 
 presents itself on this question is the impracticability of immedi- 
 ately furnishing the necessary arms and equipments. 
 
 The letter of Daniel Ilinkle relative to some muskets he has for 
 sale, which the committee sent to the Governor last evening, shall 
 be immediately attended to.

 His Excellency Simon Snyder, Grvernor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : The enemy having left Baltimore, and passed down the bay, 
 I have deemed it advisable to alter the destination of the Pennsyl- 
 vania militia assembled at York. General Watson has been or- 
 dered to march those troops to the neighborhood of Philadelphia, 
 and dispose of them, agreeably to such arrangements as may have 
 been made for the defence of that city, should it be attacked by the 
 enemy. It is hoped, however, that our late brilliant success on 
 Lake Cham plain and pressure on the enemy, on that frontier gen- 
 erally, may contribute to relieve our eastern frontier. 
 
 I have the honor to bs, very respectfully, sir,

 Sir : Brigadier General Cadwalader having orders for his brigade, 
 ,the election of field officers, which election the Major General had 
 I directed you to hold, agreeably to law, and which a multiplicity of 
 engagements it is presumed prevented you from ordering and super- 
 intending. Tlie reasons which the General assigns for his orders 
 ■ and other considerations will induce you to recognize the elections 
 and returns, so that commissions may immediately issue. 
 
 tt Very respectfully, 
 Your obedient servant,

 P. S. You will not omit purchasing the muskets from Hinkle,

 This, together with the consideration that the greater part of thei^ 
 Pennsylvania volunteers now assembled in and near tlie city, will 
 shortly enter the service of the United States, and from the expec- sj 
 tation that the Adjutant General will shortly arrive here, induces 
 me to hesitate about the propriety of tlie appointment for the pres- 
 ent. If, however, the public service should imperiously require it, 
 such an officer must either be appointed, or one that will act as an 
 assistant to the Adjutant General.

 To John Jones, Esq., First Brigade, Einhth Division : ^ 
 
 Sir • You will execute the orders lierewith enclosed immediately. 
 It was mentioned some time in August last to the Governor that 
 his orders of the 22d of July last, upon which was predicated and 
 to which is attached the Adjutant General's detail, were not exe*. 
 cuted by you, because there was not time to do so before the 1st ot 
 August He will recollect to have told his informant, (who it is^ 
 presumed reported it to you,) that the orders must be executed not- 
 withstanding, tliat it was not too late to do so after the 1st of An 
 gust Tliat this construction of the act is correct appears evidem 
 from the second clause of the thirty-sixth section of the new la^! 
 It is hopod that the opinion given by the Governor may have in 
 duced you to make the drafts, and be enabled with the requisiti 
 dispatch to execute the orders and marcli the men; at all eventsj-i 
 
 yon must go on.

 for the company, if you can get them at a reasonable price, as you 
 state in your letter they can be had. You will also procure the

 Carlisle, 20th September, 1814. 
 N. B. BoiLKAU, Secretary of the Commonwealth : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 10th inst. this evening I duly received, also of 
 the 9th inst. I received on tlie 13th, inclosing a requisition for five 
 thousand stand of arms, with the equipments, and in compliance of 
 which I immediately waited on the military storekeeper of the 
 United States at this place, and received of him four boxes con- 
 taining each fifty stand, Avhich I forwarded same day by Joseph 
 Baldwing, Esq., directed to Major Daniel Sharp, Philadelphia, in- 
 closing Baldwin's receipt for the delivery of tliem in six days. Next 
 day came to this place, from York, a Mr. Hynemaii, and received 
 and loaded one thousand stand of arms, agreeable to a prior requi- 
 sition in the hands of the military storekeeper. On the 17th inst. 
 I forwarded by James Henny, Esq., four boxes, each containing 
 fifty stand, and directed as above. This was all the arms that had 
 came on from Harper's Ferry. Since which time I have been in- 
 dustrious in engaging wagons to be in readiness when the arms 
 w^ould arrive, and this day was under the disagreeable necessity of 
 sending two wagons home again that came to load, owing to the 
 arms not coming on agreeably to the military storekeeper's expec- 
 tation, and I flattered myself had the arms been here, or having 
 come since I received the Governor's requisition, all or the greater 
 part of them would have been in the city, or at least on the way to 
 it by this time. No camp equipage of any kind are here, nor are 
 they expected. 
 
 In yours you omitted mentioning where and by whom the money 
 for transportation of the arms was to be paid. On comparing the 
 above, you will necessarily conclude that I have been industrious, 
 and my industry proceeded from pure motives. First, obedience in 
 complying with the discharge of my duty, and second, my zeal for 
 the success and prosperity of the cause we are engaged in will, in 
 probability, remove your astonishment and regret.

 JAMES MONROE TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 Department of War, September 20, 1814. 
 His Excellency Simox Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania: 
 
 Sir : While the enemy pressed on Baltimore I could take no deci- 
 sive measure with respect to the Pennsylvania troops at York. 
 
 It seemed most advisable to add all that I could to the force at 
 Baltimore, on the principle that if the enemy made an attack and 
 were repulsed, that town would be saved, and Philadelphia and 
 every other city along our coast would derive very great advantage 
 from it. 
 
 I wished the detached troops of Pennsylvania to stand as a corps 
 of reserve, ready to afford such aid in any direction, as circum- 
 stances might require. It appeared yesterday that the enemy had 
 passed Annapolis on their way down the bay, which induced a be- 
 lief that the attack would not be renewed on Baltimore, in conse- 
 quence of which I gave an order to Gen. Smitli to detach the Penn- 
 sylvania troops under his command to the neigliborhood of Phila- 
 delphia, and I sent a similar order to those at York. 
 
 Tlie arms wliich your Excellency had requested, were immediately 
 ordered from Harper's Ferry to York and Carlisle, where they have 
 probably arrived. 
 
 I have the honor to be, very respectfully, sir.

 Sir : Since Avriting you by express, I have, from day to day, called 
 on the military storekeeper of the United States at this place, re- 
 specting the arms to be received on the Governor's requisition, and 
 no arms coming on, yesterday I requested him to give me a satis- 
 factory answer wliether they were expected, and when, in order that 
 I would be enabled to let you know wliat you could calculate on 
 with certainty, and tliis morning he furnishes me with a letter, the 
 copy you have on the otlier side ; and were I to risk an opinion from 
 his verbal conversation with me, it would be that no more arms are 
 to be expected from this place on the present requisition. On the 
 receipt of these, together with the statement I made you in my 
 former letter, which statement I took from inm verbally, you will 
 be able to judge of the consistency of the thing, and if any tiling 
 necessary is to be done you will write me. 
 In the interim believe me to be.

 Philadelphia, September 24, 1814. 
 To John W. Cunnin'gham : 
 
 Sir : Self defence, the first law of nature, dictates the necessity 
 of erecting as many obstructions to impede the progress of an 
 enemy as the nature of the country through which he must pass 
 will admit. Among the means of stopping the march of an invad- 
 ing foe, the felling of trees across the roads and breaking up of 
 bridges, is not tlie least efficient. Having full confidence in your 
 capacity, enterprise, and patriotism, the Governor requests that you 
 would have enrolled such a number as your discretion may direct, 
 and who are willing to volunteer tiieir services of expert axmen, 
 with their tools well prepared, and who will be ready, at a moment 's 
 warning, to proceed and erect the obstructions aforesaid. You will 
 make arrangements to furnish them with subsistence, and while 
 employed in such service tliey will be paid by the State, together 
 with the expense of their maintenance. You will distinctly under- 
 stand tlie object of those instructions is, not to proceed to actual 
 operations until express orders from the Governor or the Com- 
 manding General of the district, but merely to have men ready on 
 whom you can call when the exigency of the case may require it.

 To Charles Biddle, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Defence: 
 Sir : In answer to the inquiries contained in a resolution of the 
 Committee of Defence, dated yesterday, and presented this morn- 
 ing to the Governor by their chairman, I am instructed to say, that 
 no answer has yet been received from the Department of War, rela- 
 tive to having two thousand regulars encamped near this city, nor 
 >, with regard to enlisting of three regiments of infantry to be em- 
 ployed in defence of tliis district. Tlie Governor received a letter 
 from Mr. Monroe, dated 19th inst., informing him, that he had or- 
 dered Gen. Watson, with the detachment of Pennsylvania militia 
 49— Vol. XI I. 
 
770 WAK OF 1812-14. 
 
 under his command, to march to the neighborhood of Philadelphia. 
 On the evening of the 22d inst., a letter was received from Gen. Wai - 
 son stating that a number of his men were destitute of tents, as 
 well as the means of being sustained on their march. On the same 
 evening the Governor sent by a confidential person So,000 to Gen. 
 Watson, to enable him to supply his troops with provisions, and on 
 the following morning sent from the State arsenal four hundred 
 tents for the use of his detachnient. 
 
 By a letter from Mr. Monroe, dated the 21st September, the Gov- 
 ernor was informed that in consequence of the enemy having an- 
 chored at the mouth of the Patuxent, the former order to Gen. 
 Watson had been countermanded.

 GOV. SIMON SNYDER TO JAMES MONROE. 
 
 Philadelphia, SejAemher 26, 1814. 
 
 To Hon. James Moxroe, War Department: 
 
 Sir : I am advised from Carlisle, under date of the 22d instant,, 
 that not one half of the ten thousand stand of arms ordered by the 
 War Department to that place, had on that day arrived, and that 
 no more were expected. This opinion is derived from a letter writ- 
 ten by Tliomas Porter, assistant Deputy (Jaaiter-master General, 
 there stationed, to James Lamberton, Brigade Inspector, who had 
 been directed to forward the arms that would remain, after Gen. 
 Watson's division was supplied, to this city. This information adds 
 much to our fears for the safety of Philadelphia. Without a speedy j 
 transportation here of tlie remainder of those muskets, or to some 
 other place from whence they can be conveniently brought, we can- 
 not arm those of our militia that may turn out on a sudden emer- 
 gency. It is a lamentable fact that our State arms, with little ex- * 
 ception, have been neglected by those whose duty it was by law ti- 
 have them collected and repaired. I am urged to call your attentioi 
 to a request by the Committee of Defence of Philadelphia, for per- 
 mission to raise three regiments for the defence of this city, and t^ 
 have stationed near it two regiments of regular troops, which I had . 
 the honor to communicate to the Department of War, under date 
 
 of the 7th instant.

 Philadelphia, Sejdrmher 2Q, 18'.4. 
 To Col. John Btnks : 
 
 Dear Sir : Yours of the 24tli inst. was handed to me this morn- 
 ing', previous to the receipt of wliicli I had learned by a l(?tter from 
 the Secretary at War, under date of the 21st of this month, that he 
 had issued counter orders to which you allude, directing the divis- 
 ion of Pennsylvania militia, under the conmiand of General Wat- 
 son, to march towards Wasliington, instead of the shores of the 
 Delaware, and which has excited ifluch sensation here. 
 
 If his division are not, nor likely to be, furnished by the United 
 States with provisions, and any other thing that may be necessary 
 for their comfort in camp, or to sustain tliem on t'ler m irc'a wliere- 
 soever they may be ordered, you will not witjjiiold the money en- 
 trusted to your care, but apply it, under a sound discretion, to those 
 objects. If they cann:it be furnished with tents by the United 
 States, they must be supplied out of the four liundred lately for- 
 warded from this city, and the balance returned by the wagons that 
 were employed to transport them thither. 
 
 The journey wliich you have undertaken to Washington, at tlie in- 
 stance of Generals Smith and Watson, thougii not originally con- 
 templated, has my entire approbation, and I trust you will succeed 
 in executing their commission, and that the marching of the Penn- 
 sylvanians to a point at which I think danger cannot exist, and at 
 which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to procure supplies, 
 may be legally prevented. 
 
 Believing the appearance of tlie enemy in the Patuxent to be 
 merely a feint, I hope the Pennsylvania troops may be ordered to 
 an intermediate point between this and Baltimore, so as they may 
 be ready to act in defence of either, as circumstances may require. 
 
 1 early intimated to Mr. Monroe the propriety of such an arrange- 
 ment, and I am pleased to find that General Smith accords with me 
 in sentiment, and that he is \\;illing to cooi)erate in any measure 
 which may be adopted for the mutual defence of both cities against 
 our common enemy.

 I am your obedient servant,

 Philadelphia, September 27, 1814. 
 To Maj. Gen. Nathaniel Watson, Baltimore: 
 
 Sir : I have received iiifortnation that a diversity of opinion ex- 
 ists in your division, respecting tlie coclcade sliall be blue and red. 
 This, as well as all other acts of the Legislature, I am bound to have 
 faitlifully executed. You will, therefore, take proper measures to 
 enforce the observance of this law. If your division can violate the 
 law, with impunity, it may lead to tlie discretionary violation of 
 any other law, order, or regulation of the State, thereby all subor- 
 dination would be destroyed, affd incalculable evils would be the 
 
 result. 
 
 It would be preposterous to allege that, because you are in the 
 service of the United States, you may dispense with this provision 
 of the law. One object, I presume, of the liCgislature in establish- 
 ing a uniform for the militia of our State, was to distinguish them 
 from the militia of otlier States, when in the service of the United 
 
 States. 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 
 Your obedient servant,

 To Gen. Nathaniel Watson, Camp Fairfield, Baltimore. 
 
 Sir : Col. Binns has just returned, and informs that the strongest 
 assurances were given at Baltimore, that your troops would be sup- 
 plied with tents and other equipments to make you comfortable. I 
 would, therefore, request that the tents forwarded from hence, be 
 immediately sent back, for here they are much wanted for the ac- 
 commodation of the militia assembling for the defence of Philadel- 
 phia. 
 
 I have seen your request to Col. Binns, to order them back if he 
 should meet them on the road. By some accident, he missed the 
 wagons. This induces the belief your own convictions will strongly 
 prompt you to an immediate execution of what is desired.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO CHARLES BIDDLE. 
 
 Philadelphia, September 28, 1814. 
 To Charles Biddle, Esq., Chairman Committee of Defence: 
 
 Sir : To the enquiries contained in a resolution of the Committee 
 of Defence, adopted the 26th inst., and presented to the Governor 
 last evening, I am instructed to answer, that there is one regiment 
 of volunteer infantry, consisting of five hundred men, exclusive of 
 officers, one regiment and one battalion of riflemen volunteers, con- 
 sisting in the whole of six hundred and ninety-nine men, exclusive 
 of officers, duly organized, also two troops of horse, consisting of 
 about sixty men, exclusive of officers. The infantry would have 
 been ready to take the field some time since were it not that the 
 drafted militia, called into service by General Bloomfield, and or- 
 dered to rendezvous at Marcus Hook, must be ^applied with tents 
 and other equipments from the State arsenal, the Lnited States not 
 being able to furnish them. The volunteers having good quarters, 
 while the ordinary militia were destitute, justice and humanity re- 
 quired that every possible provision should be made to furnish them 
 with tents and equipments necessary for the comfort and for de- 
 fence. The committee are already apprised that the Governor sent 
 on to Major General Watson four hundred tents, for the use of his 
 detachment near Baltimore, who were not provided for by the 
 
774 WAR OF 1812-U. 
 
 United States. The rifle volunteers came lieve but partially armed. 
 Three liundred of those rifles drawn from the United States arsenal 
 have been repaired by order of the Governor, and as many more are 
 rapidly repairing, and one liundred new ones have been purchased, 
 so that ill a very few days the whole of the volunteers will be armed 
 and equipped, and ready to take tlie field if necessary. At the in- 
 stance of the Governor, I ask information from the committee, how 
 many of the State muskets have been collected by their order, where 
 deposited, and how many repaired? How many, out of the one 
 hundred and fifty rifles put into the hands of the committee, have 
 been repaired, and where they are ? What progress has been made 
 in preparing fixed ammunition for artillery and musketry. 
 Very respectfully, yours, &c.,

 The Governor, being accidentally informed of the approach to 
 this city of Maj. Gen. Scott, wlio has frequently distinguished liim- 
 self in the service of his country, and believing that, on the present 
 occasion, the feelings of the Pennsylvania volunteers are in unison 
 with his own, and disposed to pay every respect to merit, orders that 
 the volunteer Infantry, liifleinen, and Cavalry, stationed in and near 
 the city, ])arade at the city hospital, at two o'clock, under their 
 proper oUiceis, and immediately march to Kensington, and from 
 t lence escort tlie General to his quarters in tliis city. Maj. Gen.

 DER. 
 
 Philadelphia, September 20, 1814. 
 Brig. Gen. Thomas Cadwalader : 
 
 Sir : Yours of the 24th inst., enclosing a copy of a letter from Col. 
 Barj', was duly received. Extreme pressure of businesslias prevented 
 an earlier answer. I have it in charge from the Governor to states, 
 tliat the requisition of the President of the United States of the 
 4th of July last, could be complied with only under the provisions 
 of the militia law of this State passed 1807 and its supplements. 
 One of the latter, passed 29th March, 1813, authorizes the con- 
 solidation of companies for organization agreeably to the regulations 
 established for the army of the United States, and the discharging 
 supernumerary otTicers. That supplement, it is true, is repealed 
 along with the original law, but it is presumed that the Legislature, 
 when they enacted that the conmmissions, which sliall be held at 
 the time of tlie. passage of the present law, should be in force to the 
 1st day of August last, so far as to enable the officers holding the 
 same to execute the duties which they would, prior to that day, 
 have been required to perform, notwithstanding the repeal of any 
 law, or laws, heretofore passed for the regulation of the militia, &c., 
 did certainly intend tliat the several supplemental laws, passed for 
 the obvious purposes of amendments, should also remain in force as 
 auxiliaries for the perfect execution of any orders or proceedings 
 had under the original law. From this it will be perceived that in 
 tlie Governor's opinion, a consolidation of companies of the drafted 
 militia may take place. 
 
 Under the head of "actual service," in the existing militia law, 
 in the second paragraph, is contained a provision whicli, to a con- 
 siderable extent, corroborates tlie foregoing opinion. 
 With respect and consideration, I am, sir. 
 Your obedient servant,

 N. B. BOILEAU TO 
 
 Philadelphia, October 1, 1814. 
 
 Sir: Your letter of the 26th ult. was tliis day received. There 
 
 are in and near this city, in the counties of Philadelpliia and Ches- 
 
 i ter, a considerable number of companies of Cavalry, completely 
 
776 WAE or 1812-14. 
 
 equipped, and extremely anxious to be called into service. Tliej' 
 all (like your company) have orders to hold themselves in readiness 
 to march at a moment's warning. Your patriotism is much ap- 
 plauded, and deservedly so ; but, under existing circumstances, it 
 is still thought most advisable that you shall not march for this place 
 before you receive special orders. Tents and other equipments for 
 the field cannot be procured suddenly. It would give the Governor 
 much i)leasure to see your company march as Infantry for the de- 
 fence of this important section of the State. In tiiat capacity you 
 could render much more important service. Impelled, as was your 
 company, from pure patriotism to offer their services, the Governor 
 entertains no doubt they will be willing to render it in any way likely 
 to prove most efficient. 
 
 You will find an answer to your enquiries, relative to the right of 
 admission from one corps to another, in the fifteenth section of the 
 militia law of this Commonwealth, passed the 28th day of March, 
 18U.

 N. B. BOILEAU TO CAPT. HENRY JARRET. 
 
 Philadelphia, October 1, 1814. 
 To Capt. Henry Jar ret : 
 
 Sir : The intention of the Governor, by genei-al orders of the 27th 
 August last, was to awaken in the Pennsylvanians a spirit of pa- 
 triotism generally, and a particular invitation was giving for the 
 forming companies of volunteers of such of our citizen soldiers as 
 were not drafted and designated for the service of the United States, 
 under the general orders of the 22d July last. It has been repre- 
 sented that but ten of the men who are under your command are 
 regular members of your comi)any, that twenty-six are substitutes, 
 some of whom are men drafted for the service of the United States? 
 and liable to march under orders 16th September last ; that some of 
 the men now under your command belong to a company of horse, 
 commanded by Capt. James Hutchinson, who, by letter to the Gov- 
 ernor of the 26th ult., complains they have been received by you as 
 members of your company, without having previously received from 
 him a discharge, as the law directs. It is thought proper to bring 
 to your notice their allegation so that you may have a fair opportu- 
 nity of refutation, and w-hich, I hope, you may be able to do. By 
 referring to the general orders of the 27th August, you will perceive 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 777 
 
 that drafts were not included in the invitation to form volunteer 
 companies, and by tlie fifteentli section of the militia law, you will 
 observe the rule laid down for receiving volunteers from one com- 
 pany into another. 
 
 Yery respectfully, sir,

 Philadelphia, October 2, 1814. 
 To N. B. BoiLEAU : 
 
 The regiment commanded by Lieut. Col. Bache will take up the 
 line of march to Marcus Hook to-morrow morning at o'clock. 
 
 As the time for which the companies commanded by Capts. Creigh 
 and Halbert, (now attached to said regiment,) who volunteered their 
 services, will shortly expire, they are not to march with the regiment, 
 unless they find it convenient to extend the term of their service. 
 The Governor is aware that suddenly leaving their homes they have 
 made great personal sacrifices to defend their country, and duly 
 appreciates the patriotism they have manifested on the occasion. 
 This consideration, and the recollection of the great and im- 
 l)ortant services lately rendered by the militia of Cumberland county, 
 from whence they came, forbid him to ask, pressingly, from them 
 any additional sacrifices. But as the patriotism and inconveniences 
 of remaining longer in service must be greater to some individuals 
 than to others, and the next object of attack of the enemy unknown , 
 he would intimate that the forming one company out of both, and 
 remaining in service three months, if necessary, with the regiment, 
 will be highly pleasing to him, and heighten the claim they have to 
 the gratitude of their country.

 To his Excellency Simon Snyder, Pliilndel[jliia : 
 
 Sir: The recent movements of the enemy, many of his vessels 
 being at this time at the mouth of the Potomac, and the accounts 
 tliat Lord Hill liad either arrived, or might soon be at Bermuda, 
 with powerful re-inforcements, have induced the President to make 
 additional requisitions for militia. I have, therefore, to request your 
 Excellency to call into the service of the United States, and put in 
 
 march for as soon as practicable, four thousand infantry 
 
 aiul Riflemen of Pennsylvania militia, detached conformably to the 
 requisition from this department of July 4th, 1814, proi)erly officered 
 and organized into two brigades. In making this requisition, I 
 have consulted several of the members of Congress from your State, 
 with aview of calling to this i)()int only such troops as will not be 
 required in the vicinity of Philadelphia. They agree with me in 
 recommending that this force be made up from the counties of 
 Allegheny, Washington, Greene, Westmoreland, Fayette, Indiana, 
 Armstrong, Somerset, Bedford, Cambria, and Centre. It is desir- 
 adle that as great a proportion of this force as practicable should be 
 riflemen. 
 
 Much attention will be necessary to prevent -too extensive bag- 
 gage trains. No more than one wagon being allowed to a com- 
 pany of one hundred men.

 It is desiiable that these troops should be in the field immediately, 
 and 1 have designated the position lor tlieir encampment, with a

 there appears but little doubt that one of these will be his object, 
 should another attack be made by the enemy during the present sea-

 in relation to their final destination ; reporting, also, that the arms 
 are for the use of the Pennsylvania troops marching from York to

 IlARKlSBURG, October 1 2, 1814. 
 To Gen. William Rked : 
 
 Sir: Your letter, under date of the 26th ult., stating difficulties 
 connected with the electing or designating of a Brigadier General 
 to command tlie detachment that was to rendezvous at Pittsburgh, 
 and the field officers, I did not receive till late in the evening of the 
 oth instant. As the attachment was to have assembled on the 2d 
 instant, I thought then too late to give you any explanation of my 
 general orders; but, upon reflection, I think it not improbable that 
 you may be waiting for an answer before you proceed to carry the 
 orders into effect. If tlie direction to elect a Brigadier General and 
 field officers by the officers and privates composing the detachment 
 be at variance with the letter and spirit of the law, the law must 
 undoubtedly govern you. If the detachment consist of drafts, which 
 you will liave ascertained by the report of proper officers, the desig- 
 nating principle must evidently obtain. Tiie militia law contains 
 contradictory provisions which cannot be reconciled, and renders 
 extremely difficult the execution of the duties it enjoins. Such a 
 construction as seems best calculated to promote the public interest, 
 I trust you have already given or will yet give the law. 
 
 The officers are to take rank according to the date of tlieir com- 
 missions, agreeably to a law which also directs that all commissions 
 shall bear date on the same day, and when two or more of the same 
 grade bear even date, their rank shall be determined by lot ; from 
 this view it would appear to be proper for the field officers of the 
 drafted militia to be designated in conformity to the law, and the 
 volunteer companies, if there be any, to elect their field officers, 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 783 
 
 agreeably to tlie law. If the detachment be composed of both de- 
 scriptions of militia, there is no explicit direction in tlie law for 
 the selection of a Brigadier General. In sucii case no otlier alterna- 
 tive presents itself to my mind, at present, but that the Brigadiers 
 General of the State (their commissions bearing one date) do meet 
 and draw lot for command, or that the detachment elect one. The 
 former might be attended witli injurious delay. The princii)les of 
 equity, as well as public advantage, would seem to dictate the latter. 
 I am, sir, very respectfully.

 War Department, October 17, 1814. 
 His Excellency S. Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : I have received your Excellency's letter of the Sth inst. It 
 will be perfectly satisfactory to the General Government to have a 
 part or all the troops, required by my letter of the 2d inst., composed 
 of volunteers. These corps may be organized according to the laws 
 of Pennsylvania, if such arrangements will facilitate their march. 
 The place of rendezvous was omitted in copying my letter. An en- 
 campment is now formed, consisting of regulars, infantry, and dra"- 
 goons, and a brigade of Virginia militia, under Gen. Douglass. 
 
 Another brigade of Virginia militia is on their march from this 
 place. Tlie whole force is to form an encampment between Snow- 
 den's and Baltimore, with a view to cover both cities, as circum- 
 stances may require. 
 
 The troops from Pennsylvania should be ordered to that point. 
 
 I fear it will not be in our power to furnish arms for the detach- 
 ment required of your Excellency, and our tents and camp equipage 
 are nearly exhausted. Y'our Excellency may rely on every exertion 
 being made by this Department for the accommodation of troops.

 Bedford, October 29, 1S14. 
 Sir : By your orders of the loth instant, to order into service two 
 volunteer companies from my brigade that have not performed, ac- 
 cording to law, a tour of duty, and if there Avere no sucli compa- 
 nies, or not a number sufficient, to appeal to the patriotism of such 
 companies as have performed a tour of duty. There are only three 
 volunteer companies in my brigade, all of which have performed a 
 tour, or part of tour, of duty. Captain Nicholas Beckwith's com- 
 pany have performed a full tour under General Crooks. Captain 
 Hugh Gibson's company, and the company formerly commanded by 
 Captain William Piper, (now Captain Joseph Sparks,) were both out 
 at Black Rock, under the command of General Tannehill, and re- 
 mained until the militia returned. I communicated your orders to 
 all the officers above mentioned, previous to their muster on Mon- 
 day last, and urged the necessity of their getting their men to turn 
 out in defence of their country. I am sorry to say the appeal was 
 made in vain, not one of the companies turned out the number that 
 will be accepted by the Commanding General, as appears by your 
 after orders of the 22d instant. From your orders of the lotli inst., 
 I was not certain wiiether I had the power, or whether it was the 
 intention that I should order into service the companies of Captains 
 Gibson and Sparks, that marclied to Black Rock and returned be- 
 fore their term was fully expired, or not. I have to request of you 
 to inform me whether I shall proceed to order the companies of 
 Captains Gibson and Sparks into service or not. Should they be 
 compelled to march, of which I trust you will inform me, I will 
 proceed to have them notified and marched to the place of rendez- 
 vous with the least possible delay. I w^ould also request the favor 
 of you to inform me whether I shall march them, provided they are 
 ordered to march, if their number should be less than forty-five pri- 
 vates. I should have asked for this information sooner had I not 
 believed that tlie patriotism of the militia of my brigade was such 
 as to induce the number of men required to tender their services, 
 without being coerced into service. 
 
 I am your obedient servant,

 -p. S.— Captain N. Beckwith informed me that in his company 
 there are thirty-tw^o men, officers included, that are willing to march 
 in the present call, provided they have two weeks' notice previous to 
 marching, and can be assured that they will not be transferred, but 
 retained as a company under their present officers, one half of which

 number are without arms. He further states tliat by the ti^iie of 
 inarching he believes lie will have a number more to join him, tiiat 
 will increase his company to fifty or sixty. This, how'ever, is not 
 certain. I have thought proper to give you this inforuiation, tliat 
 I might have some instructions from you respecting it.

 His Excellency Simon Snyder : 
 
 Sir : I had the honor, a few clays ago, to receive your letter direct- 
 ing the arms, camp equipage, &c., of the division, belonging to the 
 State of Pennsylvania, to be left at York and Lancaster. 
 
 On tiie 28th November, I received Gen. Scott's order for the pay- 
 ment and discharge of my division. In conformity to which and 
 your i]istructions, I have issued the following divison orders : 
 
 DivsiON Orders. 
 
 Camp Springfield, November 80, 1814. 
 
 Tiio First and Second brigades of Pennsylvania militia, under com- 
 mand of Brig. Gen. Forster and Addams will, when mustered and 
 paid, proceed forthwith to York, in the State of Pennsylvania, 
 Gens. Forster and Addams will discliarge the troops under their re- 
 spective commands when they arrive at York, the place of destina- 
 tion. 
 
 The Generals will accept, for themselves and troops, the thanks 
 of the Major General for the uniform good conduct observed by the 
 respective brigades. It gives the Major General sincere pleasure that 
 the order, regularity, and discipline of the troops under his command 
 have met his warmest approbation. He views their conduct as a 
 pledge that they will never be wanting to themselves or their 
 country. 
 
 Gens. Forster and Addams will cause all the property belonging 
 to the State of Pennsylvania to be deposited at York with M;ij. 
 Jordan, (Brigade Inspector,) except the j^roperty in tlie possession of 
 the companies commanded by Capts. Musser, IIambright,and Reit- 
 zels. Such property as may be in their possession will be deposited 
 at Lancaster with the Brigade Inspector, Maj. Lights. Gens. Fors- 
 ter and Addams will be careful tiiat the proper receipt are takeii 
 for the property delivered at York. 
 
 The regimental Quarter-masters will provide three days' rations 
 for the troops previous t« marching.

 The troops will he mustered and inspected at York previous to 
 receiving tlieir tinal discharge. Those persons who are absent at 
 that tiniewill V)e returned as deserters, and of course be liable to pei'- 
 form another tour of service. 
 
 By order of Maj. Gen. N. Watson. 
 
 C. Spayd, 
 Assistant Adjutant General. 
 Many and various reports respecting tlie troops under my com- 
 mand are in circulation in Pennsylvania, which are entirely devoid 
 of foundation. The men have borne the severity of this wet and in- 
 clement season in their tents with patience and forbearance. Many, 
 it is true, being without money to procure necessaries, did com- 
 plain tliat they were not paid at the end of two months, but 'there 
 never was tlie smallest meeting on that account, as reported. 
 
 I have appointed ('liristian Spade to take into his possession all 
 tlie arms and accouterments, &c., belonging to the State of Pennsyl- 
 vania, which have been left here by men sick on furlough, and by 
 deserters, with instructions to him to deliver them to Maj. Jordan, 
 at York. 
 
 I shall be glad to receive your instructions, after my return home, 
 how to proceed with courts-martial on delinquents and deserters 
 who have not been taken during our term of service. ■ 
 I have the honor to be, very respectfully, 
 
 Your obedient and humble servant,

 Wab Departmen^t, December 15, 1814. I 
 To his Excellency, Simon Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania. 
 
 Sir : Late intelligence from Cuba, corresponding with that which J 
 had been received from other quarters before, placed it beyond all ! 
 doubt in the opinion of the government that it was tlie intention f 
 of tlie enemy to attack New Orleans. Despairing of making any •< 
 impression on other parts of our coast, their boldest effort for the j 
 present campaign seems to be about to terminate in an attempt on 
 that most di tant and exposed part of our union. There is cause 
 to believe that they will unite the force which lately infested this j 
 bay, witli a detachment from Europe, and the garrisons from Guad- j 
 aloupe and Martinique in this expedition. The best precautionsf 
 that circumstances admitted of, have been taken to meet and repel 
 
 f 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 787 
 
 it. In aid of the regular tVoops in that district, a strong force con- 
 sisting of the militia of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia, lias 
 been put in motion. Great confidence is entertained tliat they will 
 arrive in time to occupy the strong passes which lead to that city, 
 and wliich, if well defended, cannot fail to secure it. Gen. Gaines 
 having served in tluit country, being acquainted with its topograpliy, 
 and possessing the confidence of tiie people, the President lias 
 thouglit tliat he might be employed there with great advantage to 
 tlie general interests of the nation, and has accordingly ordered him 
 to that station. The season of the year seems to secure this part 
 of our Union from any serious invasion. The collection and desti- 
 nation of the whole force of the enemy against Xew Orleans, as we 
 are assured is the case, has increased our confidence in that security. 
 Under other circimistances Gen. Gaines would not have been re- 
 moved from Philadelphia. In his absence, the command of his dis- 
 trict, with this, is coramiLted to Maj. Gen. Scott. These two dis- 
 tricts will constitute in effect, but one, and be commanded by the 
 same commander. I mention these circumstances for your Excel- 
 ency's information, that all the measures in which a joint coopera- 
 tion between your State and tlie general goveriniient may be neces- 
 sary for th^ defence of Philadelphia and tlie sea-board generally 
 may have that direction. 
 
 I have the honor to be, respectfully, sir, 
 
 Your Excellency's obedient servant, 
 
 JAMES MONROE. 
 
 JAMES MONROE TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 Department of War, Januarij 1, 1815. 
 
 Sir: I have just had an interview with Mr. Roberts and Gen. 
 Lacocke, and find, with great regret, that an order, issued by Gen. 
 Scott has been understood to have a bearing on Gen. Worrel, which 
 has wounded his feelings. They seem to apprehend that tliis order 
 may have interfered with your own views relative to the command 
 of the militia of Pennsylvania, in the service of the United States, 
 in that district. * 
 
 With the information which I possess, not having as yet heard 
 from Gen. Scott, it is not in my power to give any explanation of 
 the measures alluded to. I can only remark that, when Gen. Bloom- 
 field withdrew from the command of tlie district, it was committed 
 to Gen. Gaines, as well to prevent local collision, as to secure to the 
 
788 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 city of Pliiladelpliia and the district the aid of his acknowledged 
 talents ; that the same motives had influence in transferring the 
 command to Gen, .Scott, after the departnre of Gen. Gaines for jS'ew 
 Orleans; and that Gen. Scott, on going to Philadelphia, was in- 
 structed to take measures for palliating and removing any unpleas- 
 ant sensations, in any of the ofllicers, whicli might have been excited, 
 and particularly in Gen. AVorrel. In pursuing which, he was to com- 
 municate and harmonize with you. Your absence from the city, 
 and tlie necessity of his early return to Baltimore, have, I find, ren- 
 dered this impossible. 
 
 In the talents of Gen. 8cott, and in his disposition to observe a 
 strict impartiality in the discharge of his public duties, I have the 
 greatest confidence. Should he, by any orders, have given just cause 
 for such excitement, I am satisfied that it has been unintentional. 
 
 All tiiat I can do in tlie present state of this affair is to order a 
 report of the whole proceedings to be laid before this Department, 
 which I sliall do, and to assure j'our Excellency that, as nothing is 
 more remote from tlie views of this Government, than to violate the 
 rights or injure the feelings of any of those patriotic citizens who 
 have rendered service to their country in this most difficult and try- 
 emergency, the most prompt measures shall be takeu to secure to 
 every one the justice to which he is entitled. 
 I have the honor to be, with 
 
 Great respect, your very obedient servant, 
 
 JAS. MONROE. 
 
 MATTHIAS GRESS TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 Bethlehem, January 29, 1815. 
 His Excellency Simon Snyder : 
 
 Sir : Agreeable to the orders of the Secretary of the Common- 
 wealth, I have appointed a general courts-martial for the trial of de- 
 linquents. The court is now sitting from day to day on those trials, 
 but are at a loss to know in what manner to proceed with the delin- 
 quents of Capt. Jacob Sliortz, his rifle company, (formerly under my 
 command.) Tliey say tliat without getting it from under your Ex- 
 cellency's hands, that tiiey were called out for'the service of the 
 United States, Tliey cannot act on, and, on that point, they have 
 postponed those trials iintil they get information from you. If your 
 Excellency will please to recollect that when I called on you at Phil- 
 adelphia, being the 26th of September last, I was asked wliat was ' 
 the reason that my company were not here, and you always had . 
 
 i' 
 h 
 
WAR or 1812-14. 789 
 
 heard that I had such a fine company. My answers were, that the 
 comi)any had an election for new officers under the present law, and 
 that tliey are quarreling about the captains ; tliat there had been two 
 candidates, and that part of the company are ready to march, and 
 the others not willing to march under the captain elected. Your 
 reply was, to quarrel about olticers at tliis time would not do, and 
 the majority ought to govern ; and tliat 1 should order them to march 
 immediately, and those that would not march would have to pay 
 their fines. I issued my orders on the 27th September for them to 
 march. I always thought tliat they had been called for the service 
 of the United 8tates, because the quota was not full, and tluit those 
 that had been out had been in that service ; and especially by the 
 eighteenth section of the new militia law, tlie Governor hath it in 
 his power to call them for that service. I have nothing to show 
 under what authority they have been called. If your Excellency 
 will please to give it from under his hands that I may lay before the 
 court-martial, they will proceed and fine tliem, no doubt, which 
 would be nothing but right, for not one of the company would turn 
 out after this, if those were not fined. 
 
 ^ I am, with great respect, your Excellency's 
 Very humble and obedient servant, 
 
 MATTHIAS GRESS. 
 X. B. I should like to have the instructions as soon as possible, 
 if it is thought proper.

 JAMES MONROE TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 War Department, February 1, 1815. 
 BU Excellency the Governor of Pennsylvania : 
 
 Sir : I have the honor to transmit to your Excellency a cony of 
 an act, which passed Congress on the 27th ultimo, authorizing the 
 President to receive into the service of the United States any corps 
 wliich have been, or may be, raised, organized, and officered by the 
 \ States, individually, whose terras of service shall not be less than 
 twelve months, when received, and who shall be subject to the rules 
 and articles of war, and be employed in the State raising the same, 
 and not elsewhere, without the consent of the Executive of such 
 State. It is further provided that those cori)s siiall be considered a 
 part of the quota of the militia of the States raising tliem, who 
 shall have credit for the same in any call which the President may 
 hereafter make on the militia of such States. 
 
790 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 The whole of this force must not exceed forty thousand men. 
 The quota which tlie President is authorized to receive from tlie 
 State of Pennsylvania, your Excellency will observe, amounts to 
 five thousand and fifty-five. The President is also authorized by 
 this act to receive into the service of the United States a like num- 
 ber of volunteers, to be organized in conformity to the laws respect- 
 ing the military establishment of the United States. 
 
 The corps to be raised by the States, individually, being intended 
 more especially for their defence, it is important that it should be 
 known as soon as possible by what State tlie measures will be adopt- 
 ed. Other measures must depend on the success of this ; and the 
 advanced season of the year requires that not a moment of delay 
 which can be avoided should take place in providing an adequate 
 force for all the purposes of the next campaign. 
 
 I have the honor to be, with great respect, sir, 
 
 Your Excellency's most obedient servant, 
 
 JAS. MONROE. 
 
 JOHX TvIRKPATRlCK TO NATHANIEL B. BOILEAU. 
 
 Salem Mills, Westmoreland County, 
 
 February 10, 1815. 
 
 Nathaniel B. Boileau, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Penn- 
 sylvania: 
 Sir : I enclose you sundry election returns which have not been 
 heretofore transmitted : First, Capt. Abraham May, the first elec- 
 tion set aside and May elected, which I approve. Second and Third, 
 the election returns of Capt. Samuel McColoughand Capt. William 
 Reynolds; both returns are approved by me. Both companies 
 marclied on the late call of the Commander-in-Chief. Fourth, Capt. 
 Anthony Blackburn. His company is said to be full, which I have 
 also approved. Fifth, an election return for tlie Congruity Rifle 
 Company, which I do not approve, as yet. The circumstances are 
 briefly as follow : Part of this company had served a tour of duty at 
 Fort Meigs, and returned, say twenty. The company immediately 
 increased, on its return, to its present number. As Inspector, I 
 applied to them to march under the Governor's general order, which 
 they refused, alleging that some of them had served; the others 
 that they could not be called unless they all went— of course, none 
 would go. They are, however, exceedingly anxious to be commis- 
 sioned. I have not, under these circumstances, approved their re- 
 turn as yet, but leave the whole to the discretion of the Governor. 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 791 
 
 Sixth, Capt. Samuel Hunter's election return I do not, as yet, ap- 
 prove, alleging it is not more than half full. I have forwarded 
 his return, which can lay over until it is ascertained whether lie gets 
 his number or not. Seventh and eighth, I also enclose two returns 
 for troops of horse, one for Capt. John C. Plumer, the other Hum- 
 phrey Fullerton, captain. Tliose returns of their election are sub- 
 mitted to the Governor. My reason for this is, that the Governor 
 seemed to disapprove of cavalry in his message to tlie Legislature 
 at the opening of tiie present session. Of course, tlie whole is sub- 
 mitted to him. Capt. William McCormick's return, as Captain of 
 the class militia, was forwarded in my former returns, but has l)een 
 overlooked at your office. His commission is not come to hand. I 
 hope you will forward it with the others that are yet to come. I 
 have received and distributed all the commissions for the field and 
 company officers as far as they have made returns of their companies 
 to me, except Capt. William McCormick's alone ; not forwarded 
 from your office, as stated above. 
 
 Accompanying this, you will receive a return of all the militia of 
 tills brigade. They exceed the former returns, as received from Mr. 
 Armstrong, four hundred and twelve men. A doubt, however, re- 
 mains in my mind, whether some inaccuracies may not have taken 
 place in forming the different rifle companies that were early formed. 
 As the same men may be included in both, tlie late one, I am per- 
 suaded, takes in the class militia. Of course, I have not returned 
 them so as to increase the number. There cannot, however, be much 
 inaccuracy, and what is, rests with the returning officers to me. As 
 far as my knowledge went, I have corrected it in every instance. I 
 received tiie Governor's letter late, and could'not get the returns out 
 of the hands of the Captains. Tlie last I only got this day, and one 
 not at all. I have suffered it rather than delay longer. 
 
 Sliall I jiay off the wages of the wagons tliat were out with the 
 militia ? I iiave paid them in part ; they arelwaiting for the re- 
 mainder. You will please direct what is the will of the Executive 
 in this particular. 
 
 Tliose companies that marched in IS'ovember last were Captains 
 Wilson Knott, Irwin Russel, Samuel McColough, and William Rey- 
 nolds. Tliose ready to march were Captains William Morrow and 
 Antiiony Blackburn. I would be much gratified if those who did 
 marcli would receive their pay. Many of them were poor. They 
 laid out something more than they could well spare to equip them- 
 selves, expecting to be out all winter, and receive their pay, in order 
 to discharge small debts. Would it be in the power of the Governor 
 to pay them one montli ? I tliink with tliis they would be satisfied. 
 You will please direct me in this particular. I am persuaded their 
 
792 WAR OF 1812-14. 
 
 services would be much easier commanded in future if sometiiing 
 like what I liave su<?gested should take place. 
 
 I am, sir, with sentiments of respect and esteem, 
 Your obedient humble servant, 
 
 JOIIX KIRKPATRICK. 
 P. S. — I also forward a return for Capt. Robert Campbill, which I 
 do not approve.

 JAMES MONR(3E TO GOV. SIMON SNYDER. 
 
 Department of War, February 6, 1815. 
 His Excellency SmoN Snyder : 
 
 Sir : In my circular letter to tlie executives of the several States 
 of the 31st ultimo, I had the honor to communicate an act of Con- 
 gress autliorizing and requiring tiie President of the United States 
 to receive into the service of the United States, on the conditions 
 of that act, troops to be raised by the individual States to a number 
 not exceeding forty thousand men in tlie whole, of which five thou- 
 sand and fifty-five, exclusive of officers, had been allotted to the State 
 of Pennsylvania. 
 
 Although it was my intention to state in tiie most explicit terms 
 the determination of the President to receive tlie troops which might 
 thus be raised by the Spates into the service of the United States, 
 in the manner and on the conditions proposed by the act, yet, on a 
 review of my letter, which was written in haste, I find tliat I have 
 in some degree taken for granted, and only implied what I intended 
 and thought I had more distinctly declared. 
 
 I hasten to supply tliis omission by assuring your Excellency of 
 the fixed resolution and sincere desire of tiie President to carry that 
 law into effect by receiving into the service of the United States 
 the troops thus in-oposed to be raised by the individual States, and 
 performing every other act dependent on him relating to the same. 
 
 As other measures of the general government intended for the 
 defence of our principal cities and seaboard of our country gener- 
 ally, must depend in a considerable degree on the part to be taken 
 by tJie individual States, in regard to tliis force, and more especially 
 on the aid which may be expected from it in the operations of the 
 approaching campaign, your Excellency will pardon my solicitude 
 to be informed as soon as in your power of the decision of your State 
 respecting the quota allotted to it. 
 
 I have the honor to be, with great consideration. 
 Your very obedient servant,

 Harrisburg, Februari/ 15, 1815. 
 
 To his Excellency Simon Snyder, Governor of the Commonwealth 
 
 of Pennsylvania : 
 Respected Sir: Permit me to inform you that on examining 
 into the state of the military property within the bounds of the 
 Second brigade of the Sixteenth division, I found at Erie, of various 
 descriptions to a large amount, deposited in several unsafe and in- 
 secure places, much damaged and out of repair, on which I am pro- 
 curing repairs to be done as fast as in my power, but have not been 
 able to procure (in the town of Erie) a suitable building for the safe 
 keeping of so large a quantity of public property. Consequently the 
 State must still continue to suffer great loss and damage in her 
 property, for the want of a safe military deposit. I therefore beg 
 leave to submit to your Excellency's better consideration, the pro- 
 priety of suggesting to the Legislature the necessity of erecting (at 
 some convenient place within the said brigade) a suitable building 
 for the safe keeping of military property. 
 
 I am, sir, with the highest consideration. 
 Your obedient servant,

 Brigade Inspector.

 Brig. Gen. Thos. Cadwaladei:, of the Pennsylvania Militia, Phil-

 Sir : Your letter of the 18tli of the present month is now before 
 me. I wish I could feel myself authorized to assure you of a further 
 supply of funds for tlie troops who are the subject of your letter ; 
 but, until I am furtlier and more particularly advised of wliat it 
 will require for Colonel Fenton's regiment, General Worrell's com- 
 mand, and others of the interior, I cannot feel myself justified in 
 allotting a further sum to your brigade. 
 
 Of the loan made by the State of Pennsylvania of . . i?300,000 00 
 
 There has been placed in the liands of Mr. 
 Swift, the Assistant District Paymaster, 
 at Philadelpliia, and applied, I believe, prin- 
 cipally to your brigade, $50,000 00 
 
 Remitted to you for tlie same troops, . . . 50,000 00 
 
 Remitted to General Worrell, for the troops 
 of his command, 50,000 00 
 
 Remitted to Mr. Albriglit, District Paymas- 
 ter, at Pittsburgh, for troops of tlie interior 
 
 and west, 50,000 00 
 
 200,000 00 
 
 Leaving a reserve of 8100,000 00 
 
 yet to be applied to the objects of its destination. 
 It will be seen from the foregoing sketch that the eastern section 
 
WAR OF 1812-14. 795 
 
 of the State has already had $150,000, or a moiety of the whole loan, 
 whilst the western has liad but $50,000. Sliould the claims of the 
 latter be such as to leave a furtlier sum for the former, (which it is 
 reasonable to suppose may be the case,) it will j?ive me great pleasure 
 to apply it accordingly. I do not mean by this, to have it under- 
 stood as conveying an idea tliat the $300,000 is, by any means, equal 
 to the discharge of all unliquidated claims of Pennsylvania militia 
 and volunteers for services rendered, but that those of the west and 
 interior may not amount to $150,000, and of course leave a balance 
 applicable to others. 
 
 The $100,000 in reserve, as aforesaid, is at deposit in the following 
 banks in Pennsylvania, namely : 
 
 Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, $40,000 00 
 
 Commercial Bank, 40,000 00 
 
 Bank of Northern Liberties, 20,000 00 
 
 $100,000 00
