so far prevail as to give to t h e war t h e vast proportions which i t has assumed. The
people, incredulous of a long war, were naturally averse to long enlistments, and the
early legislation of Congress rendered i t impracticable t o obtain volunteers for a
greater period than twelve months. Now that i t has become probable t h a t t h e war
will be continued through a series of years, our high-spirited and gallaiit soldiers,
while generally reenlisting, are, from t h e fact of having entered the service for a
short term, corripelled i n inany instances to go home to make the necessary arraiigeinents for their families during their prolonged absence.
The quotas of new regiments for t h e war, called for from the different States, are
in rapid progress of organization. The whole body of new levies and reenlisted men
will probably be ready i n the ranks within t h e next thirty days. But, i n t h e meantime, it is exceedingly difficult to givc a n accurate statement of thc numbcr of our
forces in the field. They may, in general terms, be stated a t four hundred reginiente
of infantry, with a proportionate force of cavalry and artillery, the details of which
will be shown by the report of the Secretary of War. I deem i t proper to advert to
the fact that the process of furloughs and reenlistment i n progress for the last month
had so far disorganized and weakened our forces as to impair our ability for successful defense; but I heartily congratulate you that this evil, which I had foreseen and
was powerless to prevent, may now be said to be substantially at an end, and that,
we shall not again during t h e war be exposed to seeing our strength diminished by
this fruitful cause of dieaster-short enlistments.
T h e people of the Confederate States, briug principally engaged in agricultural pursuits, were iinproridetl a t the roiiiiiieii(eiiiCnt of hostilities ith ships, shipyards,
materials for ship building, or slrillcd mechanics and seamen in sufficient numbers
to make t h e prompt creation of a navy a practicable task even if the required nppropriations had been made for the purpose. Notwithstanding our w r y limited
resources, however, the report of the Secretary TI ill exhibit to you a satisfactory
progress in preparation, and a certainty of early completion of vessels of a number
and class on s hich ~5 e may confidently rely for contesting the vaunted control of the
enemy over our waters.
T h e financial system devised b y t h e wisdom of your predecessors has proved adequate to supplying all t h e wants of t h e GoTernment notn ithstanding the unexpected
and very large increase of expenditures resulting from the great augmentation in the
necessary means of defense. The report of thesecretary of the TreaPury will exhibit
t h e gratifying fact that we hare no floatiiig debt; that t h e credit of the Governn~ent
is unimpaired, and that t h e total expenditure of the GoveInment for the year has
been in round numbers one hundred arid seventy millions of dollars-less than onethird of the sum wasted by the enemy i n his vain effort to conquer us; less than the
value of a single article of export-the cotton crop of the year.
The report of the Postmaster-General will shokr the condition of that Department
to be steadily improving-its revenues increasing and already affording the assurance
that i t will be self-sustaining a t the date required by the Constitution, while affording
ample mail facilities for the people.
I n the Department of Justice, q hich includes the Patent Office and Public Printing,
some legislative provkions will be required, which will be specifically stated in the
report of the head of t h a t Department. 1invite the attention of Congress to the duty
of organizine a supreme court of the Confederate States, in accordance with t h e mandate of t h e eonstitution.
I refer you to my message coininunicated to the Provieioiial Congress i n November
last for such further information touching the condition of public affairs as it might
be useful to lay before yon, the short interval which has since elapsed not having
produced any material changes i n that condition other than those to which reference
has already been made.
I n conclusion, I cordially welcome representatives who, recently chosen by the
people, are fully imbued with their views and feelings, and can so ably adrise me as
to t h e needful provisions for the public service. I assure you of my hearty cooperation i n all your efforts for t h e common welfare of the country.

objections which it is impossible to communicate to you in writlng w t h m the few

The legislation 011 the subject of general officers involvts the srrviw i i i 5oiiie difficultiee, which are pointed out by the Secretary, and for I\ hich the rcrnedy suggested
by hiin seems appropriate.
111 connection a i t h this subject, I am of opinion that pru(!ence dictates sonip provision for the increase of the Army i n the event of eniergencles not now antiripatpd
The very large increase of forces recently called into thc field by t h e President of
tile United States may render it necessary hereafter to extei!d the proyisionb of thp
conscript l a ~ so
r as to embrace persons between the ages oi 35 and 45 years. The
vigor and efficiency of our present forces, their condition, antl skill and ability
which distinguish their leaders, inspire the belief that 110 farther enrollinerit will
butltlenly
be necessary. But a nise foresight requires that if a necessity should
developed during the recess of Congress, requiring increawd forcw for our tletense,
ineans should exist for calling puch forces into the field, w~tlioutawaiting the
reassembling of the legislative depai tnicnt ot the tio\wriiiicxiit.
I n the election and appointnient of offirers for the Pro~islonal
anticipated that inistakes would be made, and incompetent of1
iiitrodoced into the service. In tlie absence of experience, an
guide for selection, executive appointments, as well as elections
timm unfortunate. The good of the sarrice, t h e intcrctrts of o w coniitry, require
that sonie ineans be devised lor withdrawing t h e coinmissions of office16 who art
incompetent for the duties required by their pobition, and I t r w t yon !till find
means for relieving the Briny of such ollicers hy sonie inode inure prwipt and lrss
wounding to their sensibility than the judgment of a court-martial.
Within a recent period we have effected the object 60 long dwiied of an arimigcament for the exchange of prisoners; which is now being euecuted by deli\ ei? a t the
points agreed upon, and which will, it is hoped, speedily restore our bmie ant1
unfortunate countrymen to their placcs in the ranks of the Army froiii which, by
the fortnne of war, they have for a time hraii separated. The detail? of this arraiigernent will be con?municatcd to you in a special report when further progress lias

your resolution of the 1st instant, subaiittiiig copies of all orders w h r h have issued
446
JOURNAL OF THE
[Oct 8,1862.
The folloaing message was received Proin the President of the Confederate States, by MY. 13. K. Harrison, his Secretary:
To the &mate and House of Rppreselztatives of the Confederutc:Slubs of America
The near approach of t h e day fixed for your adjournment induces me to renew
certain recommendations made a t thc commencement of t h e session, and for which
legislation has not yet, provided. The subject of t h e efficiency of t h e Army is one of
paramount importance, and t h e letter oi t h e Secretary of War herewith submitted
has heen elicited by correspondence with the geiierals of our armies in the field,
whose practical experience of t h e evils resulting from the defects in our present system entitles their opinion to great weight.
An army without discipline and instruction can not be relied on for purposes of
defense, still less for operations i n a n enemys country. It is i n vaiil to add men and
munitions unless n e can at the same time give to the aggregated 111ihqs the character
and capacity of soldiers. The discipliIie and instruction required for its efficiency
can not be imparted without competelit officers. KO power now exists by law for
securing such officer$ to fill vacancies when elections and promotions fail to accomplish the object.
Extreme cases ought not to furnish a rille, yet soinc provision should be made to
meet e\ ils, even exceptional, in a natter so vitally affecting the safety of our troops.
Tender consideration for \T orthlcss anti incompetent officers is but another name for
cruelty toward the brave men who fall sawifices to these defeects of their leaders. I t
is not diffcult to devise a proper niodc of obviating this evil. The law authorizes
the refusal to promote officers who are found incompetent to fill vacancies and the
promotion of their juniors i n their stead; but instances occur i n which no officer
remaining i n a regiment i s fit to he promoted to the grade of colonel, and no officer
remaining i n a company is rompetent t o command it as captain. Legislation providing for t h e selection, i n such cases, of competent officers from other regiments of
tlie same State, affords a ready remedy for this evil, as well as for the case when
officers elected are found unfit for the poritions to which they may he chosen. This
selection can he made in such manner as may secm to Congress most advisable; but
this or some otlier reinedy is indispensable for filling numerous yacancies now
existing.
While this deficiency of competent officers exists in some cases, there is a large
excess i n others. Kumerous regiments and companies have been FO reduced by the
casualties of N ar, by sickness and other cawes, as to be comparatively useless tinder
the IJresent organimtion. There are (mipanic. in the Army i n which the number
of otficcrs escccds that of privates presciit for duty, and regiments in which the
number of such privates does not excectl that \I hich is required for a single effective
company. Tlic cost of supporting the Army, already a very heavy burden on the
resources of the country, is thus increascct to an extravagant extent. But this is of
secondary importance compared with t h e ineficiency n hich results from this condition of things. 8ome legislation which shall proyide for t h e c.onsolidation of coinpanies and Icgiincnts 15 hen thus reduced in iiiimbcis, and where conscripts ran not
1)c obtaincd from a State in ~ f l i r i e i i tnnmbeis for filling t h e ranks, is of pressing
ncwwity; aiitl a deep seiix of d u t y impels me t o rcpeat that no consideration for the
olliecrs W ~ C J may be unfortunately deprived of comniands ought or can safely bc
pel inittccl to obstruct this salutary reform.
It may be proper to remark that tlie necessity for this consolidation and the conseqiient di~chargingof tried and meritorious officers \\ ill obviously be increabed by
all Iegislatirc action permitting new organizations to he formed of nien who by the
provisions of the conscript law were directed to be incorporated into existing companies and regiments.
