Brig. Gen. C. P, BUCKINGHAM,
Assistant Adjutant- General:
In reply to your dispatch I answer, first, that I have commenced the
organization of twelve regiments of volunteers under the last call.
Second. That five or six of these are full, but the companies are scat-
tered over the State, it being impossible to bring them to camp until
temporary barracks can be provided and absolutely necessary quar-
termaster's stores. Third. We have a large number of companies in
process of enlistment and partly full, and think that all will be full
by the 22d. No regiments have gone to the field. Our Twentieth
Regiment, raised under call of May 30, is just full and in camp,
fitted and equipped. The five raised under call of July 2 are full and
organized, but not in camp for reason above stated, nor armed or
equipped. We shall get these five into camp the first day possible,
and the others immediately after.
