To His Excellency, Frederick Smyth,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief :

Governor : — I have the honor to submit herewith my
Annual Report as Adjutant, Inspector and Quartermaster
General, for the year ending June 1, 1867. Heretofore
the reports of the Adjutant and Quartermaster General's
Departments have been submitted separately ; partly on
account of the nature of the former, and also for the rea-
son that the duties of the two departments were then such
as to render it impracticable to merge the one into the
other ; each department requiring the supervision of a
separate officer. *

That necessity has, however, ceased to exist, and the
business of the two departments, being so closely con-
nected, I have deemed it proper to embody in one report
the transactions of the three departments.
With high regards, I remain,
Very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

NATT HEAD,
Adjutant, Inspector and Quartermaster General.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S REPORT.

General Headquarters, State of ISTew-IIampsiiire;'
Adjutant, Inspector and

Quartermaster General's Office,
Concord, June 1, 1867

To His Excellency, Frederick Smyth,

Governor and Commander -in- Chief :

Governor: — Since the date of my last report, the duties
of this office have diminished ranch less than many may
have supposed, or I had reason to expect. The compila-
tion of the second volume of the report for 1866 was not
completed until the latter part of December last, which,
with the current business of the office, and the labor con-
sequent upon a more thorough organization and equip-
ment of the militia, preparatory to tlVe Fall Encampment
of 1866, kept my entire force constantly on the alert, so
that until the close of the year, I v/as unable to dispense
with the services of any one of my assistants without
manifest detriment to the interests of the State. At that
time, however, two were discharged, Capt. Bacon and
Lieutenant Marden, and soon after. Lieutenant Robinson.
Colonel C. E. Potter, to whom was entrusted the compila-
tion of part first of the second volume of that year, also
closed his labors about this time, leaving but one assist-
ant, Lientenant John M. Haines, to aid me in the dis-
charge of the multifarious duties of the office.

During the period covered by this report, the epistolary
labor of the office has been exceedingly- onerous, as is
plainly evidenced by the file of letters received, and copies

6

of tliosG written. Letters received, requiring answers,
average from twenty-five to thirty daily, many of them
necessitating tedious and extended examination of the
rolls and records of the office, and frequently a still more
tedious and perplexing correspondence with the Depart-
ments at Washington, and with late officers of our vol-
unteers.

Several cases have been brought to my notice where
the records of the Adjutant-General's office at Washing-
ton differ from those on file in this, and in such a manner,
too, as to debar the parties interested from receiving their
just due by way of bounty and back pay.

These discrepancies are doubtless due to the erroneous-
uess of the returns made by the officers in the field,
although I see no reason whj- the records of that office
could not have been made to agree with those here. Cer-
tain it is, that in almost every instance where these dis-
crepancies are found to exist, the record kept in this office
api^iears to be the correct one, as the evidence on file is
too conclusive to admit of a doubt as to its authenticity.

I have endeavored to effect a correction in all such
cases, which has occasioned a voluminous correspondence,
both tiresome and perplexing, and while success has
crowned my efibrts in some instances, yet, I regret to say,
that as a whole, I have not been so successful as I had
reason to expect, from the nature of the evidence furnished
in these cases, and I am sometimes led to believe that no
evidence is calculated to be accepted by the War Depart-
ment where the desired change in the records is in favor
of the applicant by way of dollars and cents. Over two
thousand letters have been written during the past year,
copies of which have been retained, indexed and placed on
file in a convenient and durable form, where they can be
seen and referred to for all coming time.

Beside these letters requiring copies, a vast number

have been answered by indorsement, of which no record
has been kept.

Numerous printed letters and circulars have also been
issued. Certificates of enlistment, service, discharge, or
death, of officers and soldiers, have been issued to the
number of some two thousand, and has been a work re-
quiring much time, care, and accuracy, inasmuch as on
them depends the claim of soldiers or their heirs, against
the general government for bounty, back pay, etc. Not
unfrequently is received from the Departments at Wash-
ington, applications for thirty or forty of these certificates
in one mail, and as such applications are only made where
the records of the War Department fail to furnish the
desired information, it is substantial proof of the correct-
ness of our records.

REGISTRY.

In accordance with the provisions of an act of the last
Legislature, entitled " An act to provide for the registra-
tion of the papers of discharged soldiers and seamen," a
registry has been established in this office, circulars issued
informing the public of its existence, and five hundred
discharges and official papers recorded and indexed, occa-
sioning no little labor.

TESTIMONIALS.

Many soldiers have lost their final discharge papers and
are continually making applications to this office for cer-
tificates of their service and discharge ; and learning that
other States had taken steps to furnish testimonials of
honor to the officers and soldiers of their late volunteers,
and believing that our own could do no act, with so little
expense, that would give such genej'al satisfaction, I sug-
gested the matter to your Excellency and the Honorable
Council, who readily seconded my proposal, and at once
gave instructions to have suitable engravings prepared for

8'

every officer and soldier who had received an honorable
discharge, and to the heirs of those who had died in the
service, to be delivered on receipt of application.

The stjie of the testimonial was very soon decided upon,
and arrangements made with the American Bank Note
Company, at Boston, to engrave the same ; and to give as
general publicity to the measure as possible, the following
circular was issued, and copies sent to each paper in, and
many out of, the State, with the request that it be given
room in their columns without expense to the State; and,
I am pleased to say, the request was very generously
complied with :

General HEADQrARTERS, 1

State of New-Hampshire : [■

Adjutant-OeneraV s Office, Concord, March 22, 1807. J

To the Officers and Soldiers of New'Hamj)sh'ire :

By direction of the Governor and Honorable Council I have caused to
be prepared suitable testimonial ccrtiticatce of service, beautifully and ap-
propriately engraved, as tokens of respect to the officers and soldiers of
New-Hampshire who have sefved honorably during the rebellion in the
service of the United States, and appreciation of the services so noblj' ren-
dered by them in the hour of their country's greatest peril, which will, it
is believed, be a source of just pride to the recipient.

They will be ready for distribution by the 20th of April next, and will
then be delivered, on receipt of application, by mail or otherwise, free of
expense.

In case of deceased officers and soldiers, the certificates will bo delivered
to the nearest relative or heir on proof that the applicant is as represented.

J] ATT HEAD, Adjidant-Gencral.

The flood of application daily made to this office, is
substantial proof of the avidity with which the measure
was received by these brave men. Several thousand tes-
timonials have already been issued and registered, and
thousands of applications arc still on file.

RECORDS.

Additional facts connected with the record of officers
and soldiers are being daily received and carefully noted

9

on the books, and, ere long, the history of every officer
and soldier, who served in the late war, will be as correct
as it is possible to make it. These individual histories,
intrinsic in value at the present age, will grow more and
more valuable as each generation passes away, and their
places are filled by those yet unborn, who will bless their
fathers, not only for giving them a glorious land, but for
perpetuating the memories of its defenders.

•The most important corrections that have been made
since the publication of the first volume of the report of
this office for the year ending June 1, 1866, were publish-
ed in the addenda of the second volume of the same
report.

In the compilation of the second volume of my report
for 1866, I intended to have given a brief military history
of our State, from its first settlement in 1623, to the close
of the great rebellion in 1865 ; but, as stated in the preface
of that work, I was obliged to abandon my original plan,
and to close the provincial and early history with the
commencement of the war of 1812, owing to the fact that
no rolls of the JSTew-Hampshire soldiers in the war of 1812
were to be found in our State Archives. These and other
important rolls are now on file at Washington, and meas-
ures should be taken to obtain them, or copies of them,
and when obtained, the early history of our State should
be completed.

The importance of this work can not be ov^r estimated.
Scarcely a citizen of the State but that is personally inter-
ested in the preservation of these antique records. Xearly
all will find on the pages of the work published, thia
name of some ancestor who was identified with the strug-
gle of those olden days, and whose memory is still cher-
ished with fondness and pride.

The expense attending the completion of this work
would be but slight, and to that end I would most earnest-

10

\y recommend the procurement of the rolls at Washington
of the soldiers from this State in the Revolution, if any
remain there, and also the rolls of those in tlic war of
1812, the Mexican war, and the Indian Stream difficulties.

Frequent application is made to this office for informa-
tion contained only in these rolls, and it is highly impor-
tant that they, or copies of them, should be on file here.

I would also further recommend that the military rec-
ords now on file in the office of the Secretary of State be
removed to this office, as being the appropriate place of
deposit, and one more convenient to all parties concerned.

ROLL OF HONOR.

I intended to have published in this report an alphabet-
ical list of our brave soldiers who died in rebel prisons ;
but finding the data at hand too meager, and fearing that
injustice might be done to the memory of many by the
omission of their names, I have thought best to omit it
altogether, believing that the Legislature, if the subject
were brought to its notice, w'ould readily authorize the
publication of a catalogue containing the names of all
who gave their lives, in any way, for the salvation of our
cause.

The brave sons of the Granite Ilills who fell victims
of the slaveholders' rebellion, in battle and prison-pen,
are numbered by thousands. Their bones make sacred
uearl}' every battle-field of the war. They lie in the
crowded graves around the wretched prison-pens of Au-
dersonville, Salisbury, Florence, Libby prison, and Belle
Isle, where they suftered, lingered and died, of cruel star-
vation and loathesome disease.

" They sleep in death ! their work is done !
The battle's heat they nobly braved ;
Our gallant sons the victory won,
They gave their lives, — our land is saved."

It is but justice to the memories of these brave men

11

that a correct record of the circumstances attending their
death, and the place of burial, should be arranged and
published by the State in an enduring memorial.

Records are being published by the general government
from which can be obtained much of the data required,
which, with the files in this office, and the information
which might be obtained from relatives and surviving
comrades, would make a record as correct and satisfactory
as the most sanguine might expect.

Such a record, alphabetically arranged, giving name,
rank, company, regiment, number of grave, date and
cause of death, would not only be valuable for reference,
but would form a lasting monument of glory, to which
the survivors of the conflict would revert with pride, in
their trembling age, and their children, and their chil-
dren's children would ever delight to point to the name of
some ancestor who fell on the blood-stained fields of the
South. I would therefore most earnestly recommend that
the Legislature take some action in this matter, and if it
is found expedient, authorize the record to be made in
this ofiS.ce, and published, in justice to the living as well
as to the dead.

ROLL OF DISHONOR.

I would also recommend that a registry of deserters
and draft skulkers be authorized to be arranged in alpha-
betical order, and published in connection with the roll of
honor, or in the next annual report of this Department,
for convenient reference, and the edification of the parties
concerned. Should the act passed during the late session
of 1866, concerning this class, be declared a law of the
State, this record would be of inestimable value, from
which to furnish lists of deserters from the several towns,
or by furnishing each town with copies of the record, the
ofiice would be relieved of much labor and expense, fully
compensating for the cost of the entire work.

12

BATTLE FLAGS.

During the session of the Legislature of 186G, a resolu-
tion was passed, instructing the Adjutant-General to
allow no person to remove the battle-Hags of the New-
Hampshire regiments from the State House, unless it be
to prevent their destruction from some unusual cause, and
that Jie preserve them on exhibition as at present, until
otherwise provided by the Legislature — the provisions of
which act have been strictly complied with.

These precious relics, so battle worn and honorable
should be more fitly preserved than they can possibly be
where they now are, and I would recommend that further
action be taken concerning them, with a view of inclosing
them in glass cases on either side of Doric Hall, suspended
on the walls.

The State of Massachusetts, and other States, have
adopted like measures, and it is believed that the flags
can not be preserved in any other way but a very few
years, as many of them are already in such a state of
decay, that unless kept from exposure to the air thoy will
soon be past«all hope of preservation.

The expense in procuring these cases would be but
slight, and when once properly arranged, these glorious
mementoes of the fidelit}' and sacrifices of our soldier}-,
would be preserved to the gaze of this and coming gene-
rations.

MILITIA AND MILITIA LAW.

The militia law of the State provides that the Adjutant,
Lispector, and Quartermaster-General, shall make to the
Governor an annual report, in the month of iSray, of the
transactions of his office, stating in detail, the amount,
kind, and condition of public property in charge of his
department, together with a consolidated return of the
several military organizations in the State. It also pro-
vides that an annual parade and inspection shall be made

13

Oil the fourth Tuesday of May, at which time each com-
pany shall be inspected, and returns of such inspection
made to the Adjutant-General, on or before the expira-
tion of twenty days thereafter, thus bringing it far into
June before he can consolidate and transmit his return, as
contemplated by law ; and I have therefore found it impos-
sible to submit this report to your Excellency at an earlier
date.

The law in this respect should be so modified that the
inspection be made on the first Tuesday instead of the
fourth, as then ample time would be had in which to com-
pile and submit the report for your information in prepar-
ing your annual message, and with that, could be trans-
mitted to the General Court.

During the past year, the following companies have
been organized, uniformed and equipped, and one, the
Gilmore Rifles, at Fisherville, disbanded :

Portsmouth City Guards, Portsmouth.

Auburn Rifles, Auburn.

Bell Rifles, Lake Village.

- Grant Guards, Northwood.

Patterson Guards, Hanover.

Nashua Light Guards, ^Nashua.

Laconia Rifles, Laconia.

Rockingham Guards, So. Newmarket.

Head Rifles, Bristol.

"We now have twenty-seven companies, twenty-five of
infantry, one of cavalry, and one section of battery, leav-
ing but three companies to be organized to meet the re-
quirements of the militia law. The full complement
would long since have been organized but for the desire
to have the force as equally distributed over the State as
possible, and consequently very many petitions for author-
ity to raise companies have been refused, as their accep-

14

tance wouki give too many companies to certain localities.
Petitions for authority to raise these remaining companies
are now under consideration, and as they are all from de-
sirable localities, doubtless they will each be accepted, and
then, when properly organized into regiments and brig-
ade, as contemplated by law, no State can boast of a bet-
ter or more promising militia than our own.

REPORT

Of the Encaiv2^ment of the State Militia for the year 1866,
held in covformity with section 3, -page 26, of the existing
Militia Law of this Stale.

ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S EEPORT.

The (late of the annual encampment having been de-
ckled npou by your Excellency, company commanders
were duly informed of the same, and the organization of
the militia companies into regiments, and the appointment
of regimental and brigade officers rapidly completed. On
September 24th, the following order was promulgated :

General Headquarters, "j

State ok New-Hampshire; i

AdJHtajit-GeneraV s Office, Concord. Sept. 24, 1866. j

General Orders No. 37.

General Orders No. 40.

I. The following companies will compose the Second Kegiment New-
Hampshire Volunteer State Militia, and will be designated by letter, as
follows : namely.

Company A, Strafford Guards, of Dover ; B, Granite State Zouaves, of
Dover; C, Portsmouth City Guards, of Portsmouth ; D, Auburn Rifles,
of Auburn ; E, Bell liifles, of Lake Village ; P, Grant Guards, of North-
wood ; G, Laconia Pufles, of Laconia; H, Rockingham Guards, of New-
market.

First Light Battery " Section A," of Dover.

II. The above organizations will go into camp at Dover, on the 4th
day of October ensuing, fully armed and equipped, prepared for an En-
campment of three days' duration ; and the commanding officers will
communicate with Colonel A. W. Rollins, commanding the Regiment, at
Dover, who will give them all necessary instructions.

So little time remains in which to perfect the organization of this Regi-
ment, it is contideiitly hoped that the officers will be as expeditious as
possible in perfecting each Company organization.
By order of His Excellency,

EREDERICK SMYTH,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
NATT HEAD, Adjutant-General.

The remaining militia companies, comprising the Pat-
terson Guards, of Hanover, Harriman Guards, of Lyme,
and Lancaster Eifle Company,of Lancaster, were excluded
from a regimental organization, it being the intention of
your Excellency to subsequently organize a third regi-
ment, of which they were to form the nucleus. They
were, however, severally ordered to encamp for one day
at their respective locations.

The principal reason influencing these several encamp-
ments was the remoteness of location of the militia com-
panies. It was thought that the expense of transportation
would not admit of a general rendezvous of the entire
militia force ; consequently it was decided that the com-
panies mostly located in the first and second districts

17

should rendezvous at two points most convenient to an
economical disbursement on account of transportation.

ENCAMPMENT AT MANCHESTER.

Agreeable to orders, the First Regiment New-Hampshire
State Militia, with cavalry and artillery unassigned to
regimental organization, the whole comprising the com-
mand of Colonel J. N. Patterson, promptly assembled at
Manchester on the morning of October 1st, and without
unnecessary delay proceeded to encamp on the Fair
Grounds, situated in the north part of the city, distant one
mile from the railroad depot.

The grounds were well adapted for an encampment,
having been used as such by several of our late volunteer
regiments during their organization. Camp was estab-
lished with military precision and in most advantageous
order. The duties of the day consisted of guard mount-
ing, followed by company drill, and the usual routine of
the opening day of an encampment. Regimental head-
quarters were designated "Camp Smyth," in honor of
the Governor.

The duties of the second day of the encampment, aside
from those pertaining to the regimental routine, consisted
of regimental inspection by companies, by myself and
Colonel Thomas L. Livermore, Assistant Inspector Gen-
eral, which was performed in the forenoon.

Two o'clock in the afternoon was the hour announced
for the Grand Review and Inspection. His Excellency
and Staff, accompanied by Brigadier General Griffin, and
invited officers of our late Volunteer Regiments, at that
hour entered the encampment ground, receiving appropri-
ate military honors. Following an exchange of military
courtesies, the review and inspection was commenced by
the troops twice passing the Governor and Staff in "col-
umn, by company," the second time moving in quick time.

18

Immediately after the review and inspection, the troops,
in double column, closed in mass, and were addressed by
His Excellency, as follows :

ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR SMYTH.

Officers and Soldiers : It is with heartfelt gratification
and pride that I have witnessed your conduct, and the
splendid manner in which you have performed your du-
ties this day. I shall not attempt to conceal the deep
anxiety which I have felt, that this organization, so recent-
ly called into existence, under my administration, should
assume a shape and efliciency not unworthy of the past
renown and present needs of the State.

The lessons we have all learned will, I trust, never be
forgotten ; and while the supremacy of moral influence
must ever take precedence of mere brute force in the
affairs of this nation, yet events have taught us that we
can only be safe when just principles are sustained and
pushed on by organized, intelligent strength.

On this tented field (once possessed and cultivated by
the hero of Bennington, who now sleeps in yonder in-
closure) our regiments drilled ere they went forth to their
first bloody baptism of war. Here, I doubt not, many of
you acquired a knowledge of those principles which after-
ward were found of great value, and it is to be hoped that
the spirit which animated you then and increased with all
the perils and hardships you encountered, yet remains,
and is ready to be oflered, if need be, in defense of our
common liberties.

Although this is a new organization, I am happy to
know it is yet largely composed of veterans ; of men who
know that to be a soldier is no light thing, and that he
has duties in time of peace no less than in time of war.
It is indeed difficult, and possibly distasteful, for the vete-
ran soldier, tried upon a hundred battle-fields, to assume

19

the patient duties of the drill, when the great motive
which urged him on has been removed and peace restored
to bless the land. But the good citizen well knows that
our liberties are worth some sacrifice, and that every one
is called on in proportion to his ability, to contribute some-
thing to the common cause. While we all hope never to
see our country engaged in war again, and while it is most
devoutly to be desired that peaceful counsels shall prevail
in our internal relations, and in our dealings with other
nations, yet we must be always ready, so that, let danger
come from whatever source it may, the sentinel may never
be found sleeping upon his post.

I have said, soldiers, that after the excitements of war
this militia system — this war in peace, may seem dull and
irksome. It offers you no high bounties, it opens no great
chances for dazzling promotion, but it gives you what
every man who loves his country will rejoice in, a chance
to do your duty. It is a common burden for the common
good, and while it should be shared as equally as possible
by all, we should all unite to make it honored and honor-
able. I would appeal to every citizen of the State to give
his moral influence and his entire cooperation to the work.

"What evils might have been avoided, what useless sac-
rifice of precious lives spared, what amounts of treasure
saved, had we possessed a simple, uniform, working mili-
tia system at the outbreak of the war ! But because our
experience has been dear-bought, our knowledge acquired
at a great price, we are therefore bound to make good use
of it so much the more.

Veteran soldiers in arms ! Your conduct and appear-
ance at this encampment is such as [to reflect new credit
upon your State, and to give us the hope that we shall
have, and perpetually maintain, a reliable system of de-
fense.

You are the sword of the magistrate, which is to give

20

support and dignity to law, confidence and security to
government, and which is to be a terror to evil-doers every
where. This will back up and support the sturdy moral
sense of the country-, give conscious safety to every fire-
side, and forever prevent all farther attempts to the over-
throw of our cherished institutions.

Since the war, the world has been compelled to respect
our power, and those who would gladly have been enemies
are silenced. We need only to retain our weapons, and
show that we are prepared to maintain, every where and on
all occasions, the just rights of the nation, to secure that
regard which is our due. Our enemies will yield it be-
cause they dare not refuse, and our friends will all rejoice
at that strength which I trust will never be exercised save
in a just cause.

These remarks were received with much enthusiasm by
the concourse assembled. The troops were then dismiss-
ed, when the exercises of the day ended with a dress pa-
rade at half-past 4 o'clock. The forenoon of the third
and last day was spent in company drills. At 1 o'clock p.
M. camp was struck. The regiment formed in line, pa-
raded through the principal streets in the city, and were
dismissed by Colonel Patterson.

ENCAMPMENT AT DOVER.

In compliance with orders, the Second Regiment Xew-
llampshire State Militia, accompanied by Section " A " of
the 1st Light Battery, and comprising the command of
Colonel A. AV. Rollins, assembled at Dover on the morn-
ing of October 4, and, after forming in line, proceeded to

21

the encampment grounds, situated in the southern portion
of the city, on the Dover Point road, distant about two
miles from the railroad depot. The forenoon was occu-
pied in establishing camp, posting guards, &c. ; the after-
noon in company drills and dress parade at 5 o'clock. Reg-
imental Headquarters were designated " Camp Head," in
honor of the Adjutant-General of the State. The fore-
noon of the second day was chiefly spent in regimental
inspection, by companies, by myself, aided by Colonel
Thomas L. Livermore, Assistant Inspector General.

In the forenoon, the " Amoskeag Veterans," of Man-
chester, arrived from Newburyport, Mass., accompanied
by about twenty-five members of the " Newburyport Vet-
erans." The battalion immediately went into camp, and
took part in the exercises of the day. The Grand Review
and Inspection, by His Excellency, the Governor, was an-
nounced at 2 o'clock p. M. At that hour the troops
formed in line, and, under command of Colonel A. W.
Rollins, marched to the adjacent reviewing ground. The
line was again formed, and soon the booming cannon an-
nounced the arrival of His Excellency and Staff, accom-
panied by a large number of officers of the late volunteer
service. The troops were immediately inspected by His
Excellency, after which they twice passed in review.
Following the review, the troops closed in mass, and were
addressed by His Excellenc}^ in terms of high praise for
their prompt military appearance, admirable discipline,
and soldierly bearing. The review then ended, and the
exercises of the day subsequently closed with a dress parade.

The third and last day was spent in company drills, and
in making preparations for breaking up camp. At 3
o'clock r. M, tents were struck, the line formed, and un-
der command of Colonel Rollins, the troops marched to
the city, where, after holding a dress parade in the public
square, they were dismissed by their colonel.

UNATTACHED COMPANIES.

The unattached companies, comprising the Patterson
Guards, of Hanover, the Ilarriman Guards, of Lyme, and
Lancaster Rifle Company, of Lancaster, mustered as per
orders, and in each case reported with full ranks, and in
most serviceable condition.

INSPECTOR GEN'ERAL'S REPORT.

The limited time allowed for regimental inspection, at
the encampments at Manchester and Dover, October 2d
and 5th, precluded the possibility of my making so rigid
and thorough an inspection as the good of the service in-
variably requires; and I had but little time in which to ex-
amine company and regimental books.

The appearance of the troops on parade was indeed
most creditable, and the presence of a large number of
veteran soldiers was plainly apparent. The arms and ac-
couterments of the First Brigade are nearly new ; most
of them having been issued during the past year ; and,
with the exception of one company in the Second Regi-
ment, the arms of the entire brigade were clean, and in
most serviceable condition. The uniforms have all been
supplied during the present year, and were found to bo in
excellent condition, evincing faithful care on the part of
company commanders. Companies were inspected in the
use of arms, and although there were many men who

23

were expert in this respect, as companies, they plainly
gave evidence of want of drill. Company commanders
exhibited a lamentable irregularity in the manner of load-
ing and firing; indicating a not very thorough acquaint-
ance with the manual of arms. This lack of knowledge
might, in some measure, be expected, as within the past
year most of our militia companies have been organized,
and many of them within the past three or four months.
Considering these facts, it is my belief that the troops ac-
quitted themselves in a remarkably creditable manner.

Company commanders evinced a wholesome interest in
the condition of their respective commands, and should
this interest continue, and increase during coming ye^rs,
it is my belief that the discipline and efficiency of our
State militia will not be second to that of the militia of
any other State. The character, physical and mental, of
the rank and file, is excellent, and the officers, as a body,
appear to be men of intelligence. "With continual liberal
encouragement on the part of the State, our militia can
be maintained in a desirable discipline at a very reason-
able expense.

Colonel Livermore was thoughtful to ascertain the num-
ber of men that could be relied upon to perform one year
of active service in the field, if called upon. Company
commanders were consulted, and the result was, that out
of one thousand one hundred and ninety-two officers and
enlisted men, nine hundred and thirty-nine could be relied
upon to perform one year's active service. This, however,
does not make allowance for the number that would be
disqualified in consequence of physical disability. "When
it is known that six hundred and forty of the one thou-
sand one hundred and ninety-two officers and enlisted
men, have seen active service during the late rebellion, I
think it reasonable to infer that full sixty per cent of our
militia force could be reli'ed upon for one year of active
campaigning.

24

The experience derived from these two encampments
warrants me in stating that in my opinion the object for
which encampments are provided can be more completely
carried out by brigade encampments than by regimental.
Although the expense would be greater, the benefit that
would accrue to the militia service would fully compensate
for the same. Under the system, as observed this year,
regimental commanders are so pressed with the duties of
entirely supervising the camp, and regulating the Quarter-
master's and Commissary departments, that they are
unable to devote that vio^ilant attention* to drill and disci-
pline requisite to success. A brigade commander can, by
the aid of his staff", relieve the colonels from a large share
of their extra duties ; and himself, freed from the imme-
diate care of the men, can enforce complete police regu-
lations; and, in his general supervision, correct irregu-
larities in drill, which will unavoidably escape the atten-
tion of regimental commanders, and, at the same time,
will not give way to a looseness in discipline to which
colonels are constantly tempted. Added to these advan-
tages are other reasons : namely, a uniformity in tactics,
and in camp and guard duties, only to be obtained under
the single command of the brigadier general, and the
creating of a proper and wholesome esprii-de-corps.

The ditierent regiments will never be inspired with that
spirit of emulation, so important among troops, unless
camped side by side. The militia will far more readily
feel a pride in their corps by seeing it as a whole. Disci-
pline and drill can only receive that particular attention
necessary, when every officer and soldier is under the
command of a vigilant general. Approving of one gen-
eral encampment, it is my full belief that an encampment
should continue six days — allowing one day for assembling
and establishing camps, &c. ; another day for breaking up
camp and dispersing homeward. A six days' encampment

25

would aftqrd four days in which to drill and discipline,
in an efficient manner, both officers and men. It would
afford a favorable opportunity to establish a theoretical and
practical school for commissioned officers, over which the
brigadier general could preside, and impart serviceable in-
formation to his subordinate. To encourage the military
spirit I would suggest that the best-drilled company at
brigade encampment be announced in general orders, and
that the best-drilled man, in the manual of arms and bay-
onet exercise, and the best marksman, be rewarded by the
presentation of a military badge or diploma. In this way
the brigade muster, when the whole militia is present as
spectators and competitors, maybe made such an occasion
of interest and importance that to have excelled will be a
marked honor in battalion, company, or individual.

In closing my report as Inspector General, I must speak
of the efficient services rendered at inspection, and of
valuable suggestions since imparted by my assistant. Col.
Thomas L. Livermore. Col. Livermore is too well known
to your Excellency to require that I should speak in detail
of his military merits.

These figures are considered most satisfactory, and in-
dicate an economical disbursement, consistent with the
present condition of the State finances.

Up to the date of my last report the duties of the office
were such that I was unable to devote the time and atten-
tion to the records of our militia, which its interests de-
manded. Since then, however, I have inaugurated a new
set of records, obtained descriptive rolls of each company,
and transcribed them into substantial and appropriate
books, so that the true condition and numerical force of
our militia can be seen at a glance, at any and all times.
In this connection, the following was promulgated :

n

General Headquarters, State or New-Hampshire
Adjutant-General's Office,

Concord, N. H., January 9, 186
General Orders, No. 1.

In view of establishing a more correct and systematic record of the Vol-
unteer Militia of the State of New-Hampshire, both at these and company
headquarters, the following is promulgated : namely,

I. All orders, circulars, blanks, and letters of instruction, received
from these, or regimental headquarters, are required to be kept on file at
the several company headquarters, in care of the company clerk, and under
the supervision of the company commander ; that the same may, in case of
transfer of property, be accessible to, and govern the action of, the ofiicer
to whom the transfer is made. The fact that, in many cases, such doc-
uments have been considered by captains of companies as private prop-
erty, or of no account to their successors, being cognizant to this office, has
given rise to this paragraph ; and it is hoped that such irregularities will,
in the future, be avoided, and that, in the transfer of company property

28

«

from one commander to tmoLlier, all official papers may be turned over to
the officer assuming command, for his information and guidance.

II. Companj' commanders will immediately cause the accompanying
descriptive blanks to be filled out in duplicate, one copy to be forwarded
to this olfice, the other to be retained at company headquarters. In filling
out the blanks, great care should be taken to render the description and
record of each member as correctly as possible, and to avoid all clerical
errors and erasures.

It is absolutely necessary that the above mentioned blanks be filled and
transmitted to this office prior to February 1st ensuing.
By order of llis Excellency,

FHEDEIIICK SMYTH,

Governor and Commander-in-Chief.
NATT HEAD, Adjutant-General.

The uecessity of a more uaiforni and systematic man-
agement in the keeping of armories, arms, accouterments
and clothing, being apparent, and no general instructions
having been promulgated for the government of the
militia,-the following general orders were issued ;

General Headquarters, State or New-Hampshire
Adjutant General's Office.

Concord, April 9, 1867.
General Orders, No. 2.

For the better government and discipline of the Militia of this State, and
to avoid certain irregularities which are found to exist on the part of both
oflScers and men, the following is promulgated :

I. All Arms, Accouterments and Uniforms are required to bo stored in
a suitable armory, for safe-keeping (and when practicable such armory
should be suited for a drill-room), and the Company commanders will be
held strictly accountable for every article of such property coming into
their possession for the use of their respective commands, and that the ar-
mory and property be kept in such a condition as will bear a rigid and
minute inspection at any and all times.

II. When such property shall have been so stored, the commanding
oflScer will number the men of his compan3% from one to forty-eight, re-
spectively, and place the number of each man against his name on the
company rolls, and a corresponding number upon the musket and each ar-
ticle of accouterment and uniform designated for his use when in the per-
formance of military duty ; and each member of the company should be
required to clean, and preserve in good order and serviceable condition,

29

the articles thus designated by his number, and held strictly accountable
to the commanding officer therefor.

III. If any article of public property shall be willfully or carelessly
injured or destroyed, or any portion of the uniform furnished by the State,
worn by any member of the company when not in the performance of
military duty, the fact will be promptly reported to the commanding offi-
cer of the regiment, who will investigate the matter and report to this
office.

IV. To render the Militia of this State as eflective as must be desired
by every good citizen, it is absolutely necessary that the commander of
each company so instruct the officers and men under his command, in drill
and discipline, that they may be at all times in readiness for such service
as may be required of them; and he should use all necessary and proper
means, by frequent drills, or otherwise, to accomplish this very desirable
end; and whenever a company shall meet for drill or other purposes, by
order of the commanding officer, or otherwise, the officers and men will be
required to conduct themselves in all respects according to the rules of
military discipline.

V. No meeting will be held without the order or consent of the com-
manding officer, unless by vote of a majority of the members present at a
pi-evious meeting. And in no case will any armory be made a lounging
place by members of the company on Sunday, or on other occasions.

VI. Company Commanders will immediately transmit to this office a
list of the officers present within the limits of their respective commands,
together with those absent, giving the present post-office address of each ;
and hereafter no officer shall absent himself from the limits of his compa-
ny, for a period exceeding thirty days, without first notifying the regi-
mental commander of his intentions, and the probable time of his return.

VII. All official business with this office is required to be transacted
through regimental headquarters; and all documents forwarded to the
commanding officer of the regiment, will be by him transmitted to this
office, with his approval or disapproval indorsed thereon.

VIII. Captains of Companies will, within ten days after the annual
inspection in May (fourth Tuesday), make out duplicate returns of the
true state of their respective commands, retain one copy on file, and for-
ward the other to the adjutant of the regiment, who will consolidate the
several returns made to him, and transmit a copy to this office.

IX. They will also make, at the same time, returns in duplicate of all
public property in their possession, or for which they are responsible, one
copy to be retained, and the other forwarded to the regimental quartermas-
ter, who will consolidate the same, and transmit one copy, countersigned
by the commanding officer of the regiment, to these headquarters.

X. Companies not attached to any regimental organization, will con-
tinue to forward all communications, returns, etc., to, and receive all or-
ders and necessary instructions from, this office.

30

XI. In case of transfer of property from one officer to another, in pur-
Euanccto orders, or otherwise, the officer making the transfer shall deliver
with the same, duplicate invoices thereof, showing each item of property
so delivered, one copy of which the receiving officer will retain on file,
and the other copy he will transmit with his next annual return of public
property. And the receiving officer will give duplicate receipts, corre-
sponding with the invoice, one copy of which will be retained by the officer
making the transfer, for his own protection, and the other forwarded to
the Quartermaster General for his information.

XII. When a commanding officer shall die, remove from the State, be
placed under arrest, or in any way relieved from the care of company
property, the officer next in rank will take charge of, and be held responsi-
ble for, all public property pertaining to the company, and make such re-
turns as are required, until the vacancy is filled, or the disability removed.

XIII. Company commanders are directed to cause this order to be read
before their respective commands at their next regular meeting or parade,
and expected to enforce, and render a strict compliance with all its provi-
sions.

By order of His Excellency,

FREDERICK SMYTH,

Governor and Conunander-in-Chief,
Natt Head,

A(fjuta7it, Inspector and Quartermaster General,

This order had a most beneficial effect. Company com-
manders at once began to conform to its provisions in the
transaction of business, and in re-arranging their armories,
so that when inspected, a few weeks later, I was enabled to
render a most satisfactory report.

INSPECTION REPORTS AND PARADES.

The annual inspection and parade, made in accordance
with the provisions of the law, on the 28th of May last,
gave evidence of proficiency and a commendable desire to
excel in each company organization.

Six companies from Manchester, one from Bedford, and
one from Auburn, paraded at the former place, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Maxwell of the First
Eegiment, and it was one of the finest displays of militia
troops I ever witnessed. The battalion was reviewed by

31

His Excellency and Staff, and minutely inspected by me.
The three Dover companies also paraded as a battalion,
was duly inspected by the senior officer. Captain Thomas
Currier, and is said to have been an occasion of much
interest. The remaining companies paraded, each sepa-
rately, and with the same pleasing result as those men-
tioned above.

I intended here to have inserted an abstract of the
returns made by the several companies of this parade and
inspection, but am obliged to omit it, as many of the
returns have not yet been received. This I regret exceed-
ingly, as I hoped to have been able to submit an abstract
in many respects more comprehensive and complete than
any previous returns submitted by myself or my predeces-
sors. Hitherto returns have been made without special
regard to the forms and regulations governing the making
of returns in the army of the United States, — a system
entirely erroneous, as State troops should be instructed and
governed in all respects, when not inconsistent with State
laws, by the same rules as tliose which pertain to the reg-
ular army, else, when called into active service, they will
be found inefficient and worthless until they shall have
been disciplined in their new duties. This should not be.
The military force of our State should at all times be in
such a state of discipline that, if called to participate
in the stern realities of war, it will, at the onset, be fully
qualified to perform ever}' duty devolving upon it, either
in the manual of arms or in the important duties of mak-
ing returns and keeping company records. To this lack
of knowledge may properly be attributed much of the
incompleteness of the records of this and other States
concerning the part taken by them respectively in the war
for the suppression of the rebellion.

Aside from the regular encampment of 1866, and the
annual inspection and parade just mentioned, other mill-

32

tary displays have been made that are worthy of notice.
I had the pleasure of witnessing the annual parade of the
venerable battalion of Amoskeag Veterans, at Manches-
ter, on the 22d of February, which, as usual, was an oc-
casion of much interest and enjoyment to all present.

A battalion of eight companies of militia, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Maxwell, also pa-
raded on the same day, were reviewed by the Commander-
in-Chief and StatF, and acquitted themselves in a highly
creditable manner. The Manchester War Veterans were
also reviewed on the occasion of their annual parade and
levee, and did themselves much honor. In each instance,
the appearance and discipline of the soldiery was entirely
creditable. They were the recipients of deserved applause
and commendation, and the displays aftbrded gratification
to many of our citizens.

To foster the military spirit, now apparent in our midst,
I believe occasional parades by companies, or regiments,
to be very beneficial. The more frequent are these vol-
untary or stated parades, the better the several corps will
appear, and the more our people will become familiarized
with the system* Such displays are not only productive
of good to the troops, but of enjoyment and interest to
the communities that witness. In additjon to these in-
spections and parades, a special and minute inspection has
been made, by your order, of all the armories.

The current duties of the office rendering it quite im-
possible for me to make a personal inspection of all the
armories, I instructed Colonel Thomas L. Livermore, As-
sistant Inspector General, to inspect such of them as
would be inconvenient for me to inspect, and to report
thereon, making such suggestions as, in his opinion, the
interests of the service required. He at once entered
upon the discharge of his duties, and submits the follow-
ing report :

33

Office of Assistant Inspector General, ^

1st Brigade, 1st Division N. H. V. M., V

Jlilford, June 5, 1867. j

Brigadier General Natt Head, Adjutant and Inspector
General :

General — I have the honor to report that, in compliance
with your letter of instructions of May 28th, 1867, I
have inspected the armories of the companies hereinafter
mentioned, and that their condition is as noted.

I inspected, with special attention to the requirements of
Par's I and II, G. O. No. 2, Gen. li'd Qrs., State of N. H.,
A. G. 0., dated April 9, 1867, by which it is ordered that
uniforms, arms and accouterments, shall be numbered re^^u-
larly, and shall be stored in the armories, and well kept,
and that the armories, when practicable, shall be suitable
for drill-rooms. Where there appears to be any non-con-
formity in these respects, unless it is otherwise noted, it
has been apparent that there was willingness and intention
on the part of commanding officers to execute the order,
and that want of time has prevented them from doing so
already, which can easily be understood w^hen it is recol-
lected that the most of the officers and soldiers have daily
employment which they can not put off at pleasure, and
that in some cases the companies are scatterd over a large
extent of country.

first regiment,

Co. A., Bedford Light Infantry, Bedford, has the town
hall, suitable for a drill-room, with two good rooms for
arms, accouterments and clothing. 60 rifles in racks in
armory, numbered, well kept ; 53 sets accouterments on
pegs in armory, not numbered, well kept ; 44 uniforms ia
racks, in armory, not numbered, well kept.

Co. B, National Guards, Manchester, has a good hall^
suitable for a drill-room, and a good room for clothing.
3

34

52 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered, well kept ; 50
sets accouterments, on pegs, numbered, well kept ; nearly-
all of the uniforms in armory numbered, well kept.

Co. D, Smyth Rifles, Manchester, has a very good
hall, suitable for drill-room, and good rooms for clothing
and accouterments. 50 rifles in armory, in racks, not num-
bered, well kept; 50 sets accouterments in armory, on
pegs, not numbered, well kept ; 46 uniforms in armory,
numbered, well kept.

Co. E, Sheridan Guards, Manchester, has a very large
and good hall, suitable for a drill-room, and a good cloth-
ing room. 50 rifles, in armory, in racks, numbered, well
kept ; 50 sets accouterments in armory, not numbered,
well kept; 48 uniforms in armory, not numbered, well
kept.

Co. Gr, Messer Rifles, IsTew-London, has a good hall,
suitable for drill-room, and a room for clothing is in
preparation. 45 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered,
well kept ; 45 sets accouterments in armory, numbered,
well kept ; uniforms not yet in armory.

Co. I, Manchester War Veterans, Manchester, has a very
good hall, suitable for drill-room, and good rooms for cloth-
ing, arms, and accouterments. 48 rifles in armory, in
racks, not numbered, well kept ; 50 sets accouterments
in armory, not numbered, well kept ; 48 uniforms in
armory, not numbered, well kept. The delay in this com-
pany, in numbering, may be accounted for by a change of
ofiicers, and consequent unsettled state of aftairs, \vhich
has detracted a little from- accustomed neatness, also.

Co. K, Wilton Light Infantry, Wilton, has a very good
hall, suitable for drill-room, and good rooms for clothing,
arms and accouterments. 48 rifles in armory, in racks,
not numbered, well kept; 50 sets accouterments, not
numbered, well kept ; uniforms not in armory.

Co; M, Nashua Light Guards, Nashua, has a good hall,

35

suitable for drill-room, and rooms for clothing, arms, and
accouterments. 50 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered
on slings, well kept; 50 sets accouterments in armory,
numbered, well kept ; 36 uniforms in armory, not num-
bered, well kept.

SECOND REGIMENT.

Co. A, Straflbrd Guards, Dover, has a small room, suita-
ble for drill in manual. 50 rifles in armory, in racks, not
numbered, well kept ; 50 sets accouterments in armory,
not numbered, well kept ; 45 uniforms in armory, not
numbered, well kept. The armory of this company was
burned down a short time since, and the present one is a
temporary expedient.

Co. B, Granite State Zouaves, Dover, has a good hall,
suitable for drill-room, and a small clothes room. 50
rifles in armory, in racks, numbered on slings, well kept ;
50 sets accouterments in armory, numbered, well kept ;
45 uniforms in armory, numbered, well kept.

Co. C, Portsmouth City Guards, Portsmouth, has the use
of a small wardroom, suitable for drill in manual, and a
poor clothes room. 35 rifles in armory, in racks, partly
numbered, poorly kept; 39 sets accouterments in armory,
not numbered, poorly kept; uniforms not in armory.
The poor condition here reported is partly due to inability
to procure a better armory, but I am led to believe, by
officers of this regiment in Portsmouth, that the negligence
generally exhibited is due in a great measure to the
misconduct of Captain Peter Mitchell, who, it is believed,
has absconded with a part of the company money. Second
Lieutenant Morrison, who has charge of the armory,
appears to be a worthy officer and endeavoring to right
matters.

Co. D, Auburn Rifles, Auburn, has a very good hall,
suitable for a drill-room. 50 rifles in armory, in racks,

36

numbered, well kept ; 50 sets accouterments in armory,
numbered, well kept ; uniforms not in armory.

Co. E, Bell Rifles, Lake Village, has a good hall, suita-
ble for a drill-room, -and a good clothing room. 50 rifles
in armory, in racks, numbered, well kept ; 50 sets accouter-
ments in armory, numbered, well kept ; most of uniforms
in armory, numbered, well kept.

Co. G, Laconia Rifles, Laconia, has a very good hall,
suitable for drill-room, and a good clothing room. 50
rifles in armory, in racks, not numbered, well kept ; 50
sets accouterments in armory, not numbered, well kept ;
most of uniforms in armory, not numbered, well kept.

Co. II, Rockingham Guards, South-ISTewmarket, has a
good hall, suitable for drill-room, and arms and clothes
room. 50 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered, well kept;
50 sets accouterments in armory, numbered, well kept ;
unijbrms not in armory.

Head Rifles, Bristol, have a small room for arms and
clothing, but a hall is to be prepared suitable for drill
room. 25 rifles in armory, in racks, not numbered, well
kept ; 25 sets accouterments in armoiy, not numbered,
well kept ; part of uniforms in armory, not numbered,
well kept ; the rest of the arms and accouterments are
in hands of men being cleaned.

1st Light Battery, Section A, Dover, has a poor room
for guns, the floor of which is sunken and broken in
places. The care bestowed on the guns- merits a better
jrun-house, and as a suitable one can not be found in Dover,
it is respectfully suggested that an appropriate gun-house
should be built, in which these costly and important can-
non could be kept safely. The room for uniforms and
sabres is not as good as is desirable, but is neatly kept.
The harness room is good and well kept. These three
rooms are in diflereut parts of the city, which renders the
assembly of the battery a difficult and tedious operation.

37

A two story building, which could be built for a thousand
dollars, would afford ample room for all the guns and
appurtenances of a section of battery. 48 uniforms in
armory, not numbered, well kept; 48 sabres in armory,
not numbered, well kept; 2 twelve-pounder brass guns
in armory, well kept ; harnesses neatly hung up and well
kept.

Harriman Guards, East Lyme, have a good hall, suitable
for drill-room, and well arranged closets for arras and
clothing. 50 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered, well
kept; 50 sets accoutermeuts in armory, numbered, well
kept ; 48 uniforms in armory, not numbered, well kept.

Patterson Guards, Hanover (Mill Village), have a small
room, not suitable for drill-room, with well arranged clos-
ets for arms and clothing. 50 rifles in armory, in racks,
not numbered, well kept ; 50 sets accouterments in ar-
mory, not numbered, well kept ; part of uniforms in
armory, not numbered, well kept.

1st Co. of Cavalry, Manchester, has a good hall, suita-
ble for drill-room, with good rooms for uniforms and
equipments. 45 sabres and belts in armory, not num-
bered, well kept ; most of uniforms in armory well kept ;
horse equipments in armory, neatly hung up, well kept.

Lafayette Artillery, Lyndeborough, have a good building
for an armory, wnth hall, suitable for drill-room. 60 mus-
kets in armory, in racks, numbered, well kept ; 60 sets
accouterments in armory, not numbered, well kept ; . 1
six-pounder brass field piece in armory, with no tompion ;
14 uniforms in armory, lying loose. The field piece in
this armory is of an old pattern and very cumbersome. It
would take eight horses to maneuver it in the field, and
it is not supplied with a caisson. I venture to suggest
that if this company is to be drilled as artillery, that it is
advisable to dispose of this piece and substitute a section
of twelve-pounders or rifled ^uns, each of which would

38

take but four or six horses in th^ field, would weigh less,
and throw more affective ammunition, and indeed six
pound ammunition is so rarely found at this day, for field
guns, that I doubt if sufficient could be readily obtained
in case of need to fill the limber box of this gun.

Throughout this inspection, evidence of pride in their
organizations and of a desire to excel was observed among
the companies. In many cases they have hired large
halls at a rent of from a hundred to a hundred and fifty
dollars a year, the excess over the allowance of fifty
dollars being paid by the companies. In several cases the
armories are decorated in a beautiful manner, and in nearly
all neatness and soldierly care is apparent. Very general-
ly there are armorers in charge, whose business it is to
keep arms and accouterments clean, and all property in
good order — these men being paid by the companies; and,
I believe I' may safely report, in general the compa-
nies are successfully striving in this direction to render
their corps a practical body of soldiery, always prepared
for service in the field. •

I am. General, "

Very repsectfully,

Your obedient servant,

THOS. L. LIVERMORE,
Col. and Assi. Inspector General N. H. V. 31.

To save the expense of traveling fees. Colonel Henry
0. Kent was requested to inspect the armory of the Lan-
caster Rifle company, and submits the following report :

Lancaster, June 3, 1867.

General — Acting under your commission, I have this
day inspected the armory of the Lancaster Rifles, Captain
J. I. Williams, and find therein,

60 muskets complete, in racks, and numbered ; 50 sets

39

equipments (minus one set reported as stolen) on pegs ; 48
uniforms (see remarks) hung on pegs ; 1 tenor drum ; 1
fife ; all being public property.

The arms and equipments are in perfect order. The
fortj-eight uniforms were not all in the armory; Captain
Williams explaining that the order for their retention
there, being a recent one, had not been fully executed by
his sergeants.^ The complement of uniforms as above, was
however, as he states, complete at the annual May parade.
The company has a light and dry armory, neat and in
perfect order, well fitted with gun racks and pegs.
Every thing indicates proper care of the public property.
I am, General,

Very respectfully.

Your obedient servant,

HENRY 0. KENT,
Colonel, and Acting Inspector.
General Natt Head,
Adjutant, Inspector and Quartermaster General,

Concord.

The armories of the following companies have been in-
spected by me, and their condition is as noted :

FIRST REGIMENT.

Company L, Hooksett Light Infantry, Hooksett, has
the use of the town hall, which is admirably suited for
a drill-room, and another room fitted expressly for arms,
accouterments, and uniforms.

49 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered and well kept;
50 sets accouterments in armory, numbered and well
kept ; most of the uniforms in armory, numbered and
well kept.

Company F, State Capital Guards, Concord, has a small
room, suitable for armory, and drill in the manual, and a
clothing room.

40

47 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered and well kept;
50 sets accouterments in armorj, numbered and well
kept; part of the uniforms in armory, numbered and well
kept.

Company II, Smyth Guards, Fisherville, has the use of
a small room, suitable for a store room, but not for drill.

47 rifles in armory, in racks, numbered and well kept;
50 sets accouterments "in armory, not nun4)ered, in good
condition ; uniforms not all in armory.

This company is now having fitted for its use a large
and convenient hall for drill, a room for the storage of
arms and accouterments, and a good clothing room.

Company C, Head Guards, Manchester, has a good
armory, well arranged. The arms, accouterments and
uniforms are in armory, suspended in racks and on hooks,
and are well kept.

Company F, Second Regiment, Grant Guards, Xorth-
wood Center, has a large and well arranged armory, fitted
expressly for the purpose for which it is used, and is in
excellent condition. The arms, accouterments and cloth-
ing, all in armory and in perfect condition.

The result of this inspection is in a high degree satis-
factory. It not only shows a willingness on the part of
the officers to conform to all requirements, but a com-
mendable desire to excel in all pertaining to their several
commands, and, ere long, every armory in the State will
be in such a condition as will bear the most rigid and mi-
nute inspection from the most precise army olficer.

ANNUAL ENROLLMENT.

In connection with the enrollment of the present year,
which is given below, I have seen fit to add that of 1866,
that the two may be compared, and the increase and de-
crease readily noted; and also the population of the sev-

41

eral towns, as showing the inequality or incorrectness of
the enrollment made by the different towns. Many towns
seem bent on making their enrollment as small as possi-
ble, as if afraid some draft or impressment were to be
made on them for military duty, thereby rendering great
injustice to the State, as on the enrollment of the State
depends its quota of arms and munitions of war from the
general government; and it should therefore be made im-
partially and fairly, thus enabling the State to obtain its
just dues from the United States, and relieving it of much
expense in purchasing articles that might, and should, be
drawn from the general government. It is hoped that in
the future the town officers will look to this, and, in mak-
ing their annual enrollment, keep in view the best inter-
ests of the State, without fear or favor of any one.

Annual Enrollment, April, 1867 and 1866, of every able-
bodied, 10 kite male citizen of this State, resident therein, of the
age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty -five years,
not by law exempt from doing military duty ; also, the popu-
lation of each town, census of 1860.

The authorities of the towns of Bartlett and Berlin
have culpably neglected to furnish a return of the enroll-
ment of their respective towns, and I am obliged to
omit it.

GRANITE STATE MILITARY AND COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE.

This institution was opened at Reed's Ferry by Professor
S. N. Howell, in December, 1865. It is the only institu-
tion in the State where military tactics form a distinctive
feature, and are taught as a regular branch of instruction,

49

and is of great promise and worth ; accomplishing as much,
perhaps, as any military organization in the State, and in
some respects even more ; as companies are drilled in but
one department, while in this institution the cadets are in-
structed in infantry, artillery, sabre and bayonet exercise.
I had an opportunity to witness a drill of this fine little
corps on the 22d of February, and was most favorably im-
pressed with its proficiency and aptness in the manual of
arms in all its branches. Believing this institution to be
worthy the attention of the State, I have supplied them
with arms and accouterments, which are well kept, and
used. They have not, however, a suitable place for the
storage of arms, and I believe it would be wise on the
part of the State to make an appropriation for the build-
ing of an armory in which the arms could be more con-
veniently kept, which could be used for a drill-room in bad
weather, and during the winter. The expense would be
slight, and fully compensated by the good that would ac-
crue to the State from this institution, which, with a little
fostering care, is soon to become the ""West Point " of
New-Hampshire.

Following will be found a list of officers appointed to
the staff of the army daring the late war, which, as it has

outside the ofliee.

QUARTERMASTER GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT.

The duties devolving upon me as Quartermaster General
during the year covered by this report have been incessant
and burdensome, but I am happy to state that never before
was the department in so promising a condition as at the
present time. From chaos, complication, and nothingness,
I have built up a department of system, simplicity and
plenty. On assuming the duties of the office, I found the
records and property pertaining to the department in a
lamentable condition. No invoices or receipts ; in fact,
no records were on tile from which the amount of public
property belonging to the State could be ascertained, and
the only means by which I could obtain a knowledge of
the property for which I was responsible was to personally
take an inventory of whatever property I could by right
claim as belonging to the State. This I did, and collected
property to the amount of some twenty-five thousand dol-
lars, and turned the major portion of it over to the Gen-
eral Government, securing to the State credit therefor, as
stated in my report of 1865. There still remains many
thousand dollars' worth of ordnance stores, scattered
throughout the State, which I am now endeavoring to ob-
tain, and, to this end, issued the following circular to the
Selectmen of the several towns in the State :

General Headquarters, "^

State of New-Hampshire, >

Adjutant- General's Office, Concord, March 6, 1867. j

Gentlemen : —

Knowing as I do, that in almost every town in this State
are scattered more or less Guns, Gun-houses, Arms and

72

Equipments, and other State property, I am desirous of
obtaining a list of all such, regardless of description or
worth, that I may take some action looking to the preser-
vation or proper disposition to be made of the same.

You are therefore requested to institute a careful and
thorough inquiry, and to furnish this office, on or before
the 1st day of ]\Iay ensuing, with a correct statement of
8uch property as may be found in your town, stating kind,
number and condition, with such other information as you
may deem of importance ; and your action will receive due
credit in my Annual Report for the present year.
I have the honor to be. Sirs,
Very respectfully.

Your obedient servant,

Is^ATT HEAD,
Adjutant, Inspector cj- Quartermaster Gen. of N. H.

This call has been quite generously responded to, and I
have learned the whereabouts of much property not here-
tofore borne upon the records of this office. I had hoped
to have completed my search so as to have been able to
give, in this report, an abstract of such property as was
found ; but, many of the returns coming in so recently, I
have had insufficient time in which to do so. Some of
the property found has been forwarded to these headquar-
ters, and some has been allowed to remain, where town
officers wished to have it, and would give proper receipts.
During the ensuing year I am determined to find and call
in, or properly invoice, everj'^ article of public property
within our borders, that it may be taken up and reported in
the next annual report.

Much of this property is in an unserviceable condition,
which, together with a large amount of miscellaneous ar-
ticles in the store house at Concord, should, in my opinion,
be sold for the benefit of the State : and I would recom-

73

mend that a Board of Survej- be appointed to examine it,
and report upon its condition with that view. Some twen-
ty gun-houses are scattered throughout the State, unused
and worthless as they now are. They are greatly out of
repair, and as it would cost as much to repair and place
them in a serviceable condition, as it did to build them —
and then thej^ would be worthless, as none of them are
suitable for an armory of a company — I believe it would
be for the interest of the State to dispose of them, and
turn the proceeds into the treasury, and therefore recom-
mend that the Quartermaster General be authorized to
convey such property at public sale, whenever, in his opin-
ion, such sale would be for the interest of the State.

At present I have not the requisite authority to convey
real estate, and it is highly important that the Honorable
Legislature should take some action in the matter, as
many of the houses stand upon land owned by the State
which should be sold with them. Unless something is
done at once relative to this class of property, it will be-
come a total loss to the State.

I would respectfully call the attention of your Excel-
lency to the fact that no camp and garrison equipage is
in the possession of the State. The militia law provides
that the Quartermaster General shall, if such equipage is
not on hand, purchase a full camp equipage, &c., and shall
be furnished the necessary funds for that purpose hy the
Governor.

At the last annual encampment no equipage being in
the possession of the State, I was directed by you to ob-
tain the loan of such as was necessary, of the State of
Massachusetts, and did so ; but believe it to be my duty,
as guardian to the interests of this department, to protest
against such procedure in the future. The expense of
transporting such bulky property back and forth is very
considerable, and the liability of losing much in transpor-

74

tation, great. Property was lost at the last encampment
to the amonut of §89, which has been refunded to the
State of Massachusetts. We should have camp and garrison
equipage sufficient to accommodate a brigade of three
regiments, constantly on hand, to render the equipment of
our militia force complete.

ABSTRACTS AND RETURN

OF MILITARY PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE STATE OF NEW-
HAMPSHIRE.

The following abstracts and return represents all prop-
erty on hand at the commencement of the year : property
received by purchase and transfer ; property issued to the
Volunteer Militia and Public Institutions ; property lost
or destroj'ed, in the possession of the militia, during the
year ; property remaining on hand in Store House ; prop-
erty in possession of militia and public institutions, and
the amount total of public property in the possession of
the State.

The patient labor and care required in the preparation
of these abstracts, can not be adequately conceived, and I
know of no argument that would be so sure to convince
those, who think this office a sinecure, of their error, as
the making out of one of these abstracts or returns.

CLERICAL EXPENSES.

In consideration of the fact that certain classes of our
citizens have looked upon these expenses as excessive, I
deem it but justice to myself to here give a statement
which should for ever silence them.

The entire sum paid for clerk hire during the three
years ending June 1, 1867, is $11,462.64, and of which
16,713.03 has been assumed by the United States govern-
ment, and paid to this State, leaving $4,749.61, the actual
expense to the State of New-Hampshire for the period
stated.

The good accruing to the State and her citizens from
this expenditure can not be adequately estimated. The
records which have been obtained and tiled — and of which
there were none when I assumed the duties of the office —
are of inestimable value, both to this and future genera-
tions, as in many cases they are the only proof in exist-
ence, Avliich the soldier and his heirs can obtain to sub-
stantiate their claims against the general government, for
pensions, back pay and bounty.

They are also of great importance to the State as an
effective guarantee against the payment of false claims,
which have been, and maybe presented. In one instance
alone, these records have saved to the State in the pay-
ment of State Aid the sum of $6,699.57, which exceeds
the entire clerical expenses in their procurement, to the
amount of |1,949.96, a fact which should, in my opinion,
satisfy all that the money expended for clerical assistance
in this department was a wise investment, and one that
will pay to the State, and especially to her brave defenders,
as liberally as any investment made during the war.

118

CONCLUSION.

In the foregoing pages, I have endeavored to give a
comprehensive review of the condition of the affairs of this
ottice up to the present time, embracing tabuhir state-
ments of the numerical strength of the State Militia, the
public property on hand, and an epitome of the events
connected with our militia history. It has been my
endeavor to build up an eftective system under our present
law. Kecognizing the truth of the remembered declara-
tion that "a well regulated militia is the natural and sure
defense of the State," I have striven to enlist the ardor of
young men, and the experience of tried veterans, in those
organizations authorized by law.

My endeavors have been fully rewarded. The law has
proved an effective and comprehensive one. The organ-
izations have generally manifested much pride in their
own progress, and the public has regarded, with apparent
satisfaction, the building up of a reliable military force,
which, always a credit to the State, and never a pecuniary
burden upon its resources, is competent to send no incon-
siderable strength into the field to meet immediate danger,
and to serve as the nucleus of an extensive armament,
Avhich could be speedily placed upon a war footing.

The records of the heroism, suffering and services of the
soldiery of the State, it has been my pleasant task to col-
late and preserve. If I shall have been instrumental in
transmitting to prosterity certain evidence of the part
borne by New-Hampshire in the late contest, my labors
will have been amply repaid.

During the pendency of the publication of my last re-
port, I expressed an opinion relative to the then contem-
plated fulfillment of my official duties and the termination
of my official labors. This T did in the belief that the
work of compilation and publication, which required my

110

personal supervision would soon be coni})leted. The de-
lay in this and the necessity of continuous labor on my
part has thus far kept me at my post — my ambition
being to complete a record of those years, during which
the energies of this Department were so severely taxed to
meet the exigencies of the public service.

I desire to acknowledge the uniform courtesy and kind-
ness which has ever characterized your Excellency's oiHcial
and personal intercourse with myself and this office. In
every particular I have received your cordial and experi-
enced counsel. Indeed, sir, it is titting for me to remark,
that the regard for the soldier which characterized in a
marked degree your otiieial career, was exemplified fur-
ther in your assistance to myself. You will accept, there-
fore, my cordial and respectful acknowledgments of the
continued courtesy and personal regard, which has ap-
peared in your oflicial and personal relations with myself.

To the assistants in my office, wdio have labored assid-
uously in the complicated, and often vexatious positions
and duties assigned them, I present my acknowledg-
ments of their uniform faithfulness, and for their valuable
services. Our official relations have been pleasant, and
I esteem it entirely fitting to place upon record an avowal
of the fact.

In closing, I may be permitted to remark that I trust
my oflicial action, while the incumbent of this office, may
not have been entirely without benefit to the State, whose
interests I have always regarded as of paramount mpor-
tance. I entered this office in the midst of a desolating
war, when the energies of the people were severe!} taxed
to preserve the national life. We were crowding fc rward
new regiments. to the field, and filling those already there,
while the din of busy preparations resounded through our
borders. To-day that strife is happily ended. Valor and
patriotism have been crowned by the rich sheaves of peace

120

and prosperity. The wail of bereaved t'ainilies will yet
remain to remind us of our costly sacritice, but with every
sorrow, there is a palliative, if not an antidote. The recol-
lection of the heroic services rendered by our sons, and the
sacrifices endured uncomplainingly b^^ the women of the
State, will always be looked upon as the silver lining to
the dark cloud of war, which so long hung over the
Union. I entered this office with no ett'ective State Militia
in existence. To-day we have sufficient reliable, well dis-
ciplined troops to form three regiments for immediate
service. The system meets with I'avor at the hands of the
people, and is a credit to the traditionary reni)\vii and late
record of New-llampshire.

With peace resting u[»on our banners, with our sons
returned to their customary avocations or cherished in the
fond memories of a people served by their lidelity ; with
a reliable aiid well-disciplined militia force in existence,
which will foster the military spirit and provide for any
emergenc}- that may arise, and with the huancial, clerical
and biographical business of my department, either fully
performed to date, or in a good (Icgi'cc! of forwardness,
callino; your attention, and throuirh \"ou, the attentii>n of
the Honorable Legislature, to the suggestions here made,
and regarded by me as essential.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,

Your Excellency's obed't serv't,

NATT HEAD,
Adj'i, Lisp, and Q. 31. General.
