The Louisville Courier of the 17th of Au
gust, says :
PRESSING INTO THE UNITED STATES
SEP.VICE ALREADY COMMENCED IN
MISSOURI—GEN. FREMONT’S OR
DERS.
It will be seen from the following official or
ders, issued by Major General Fremont, that
the United States Reserve troops whose terms
of service have expired, will not be permitted
to disband, on account”of the present state of
political affairs in Missouri. The volunteers,
whose time have expired, are to be again mus
tered into service, when they can either con
tinue in their regiments, join the cavalry, or
serve in the reserve. As for leaving the mil
itary service altogether, that alternative is not
presented to them. Such is the progress of
the march of despotism in Missouri. When
Kentucky shall be placed under military rule,
—and the telegraph announces that Kentucky
and Tennessee have been constituted a new
military department, under Gen. Anderson,
—we presume the Home Guards of the State
will be drafted permanently into the service
of the Government, as they have been in Mis
ri. We subjoin the following :
ORDER EROM GEN. FREMONT—THE UNITED
STATES RESERVE CORPS.
Headquarters Western Dep’t, 1
St. Louis, Aug. 12, 1861. /
Sir : Insomuch as the term of the several
regiments of the Reserve Corps, in St. Louis
has expired, or in a few days will expire, and
the men be paid off; and as the present state
of political affairs in Missouri, as well as the
movements and designs of the enemy, will
not permit their being permanently disband
ed, I have determined, in order to promote the
common welfare and protect public and pri
vate property, to have them forthwith reor
ganized.
The organization will comprise five regi
ments of infantry, with a reserve of two com
panies to each, two squadrons of cavalry, and
two batteries of light artillery.
The troops will be required to enlist for the
war, unless sooner discharged, and will (except
the reserve companies) be subject to the same
regulations, and receive continuously the
same pay as volunteer regiments.
The reseve companies will be required to
replace the Home Guard Regiment, should the
latter for any cause be called to other coun
ties of this State, and will receive the regular
pay of volunteers for actual service. When
not in service these reserve companies will be
under more liberal regulations; they will not
be obliged to perform guard duty, and their
hours of drilling will so far as possible be
made to conform to their peculiar public and
private position.
In order to accomplish, without delay, this
urgent reorganization of the Home Guard of
the City of St. Louis, you are hereby direc
ted to assemble your regiment at their head
quarters, and ascertain from each man under
your command, whether he would prefer to
continue in the regiment, or to join the cav
alry or artillery, or serve only in the reserve
for the above mentioned peculiar emergen
cies.
After ascertaining in this way the wishes
of the men, you will proceed immediately to
the reorganization of the infantry regiments.
The companies will in the first place elect
their company officers, who will thereupon
nominate their field officers, and submit their
names for approval to the General command
ing the Department.
The Colonels, when accepted, will nomi
nate a Brigadier, and submit his name in like
manner for approval. After his appointment
a Brigade Inspector will be selected by the
General commanding.
The officers of the regiment having been
decided upon, the re-organization of the reg«
iment, and, if possible, also that of the re
serve companies should be immediately com
pleted and the returns submitted to this De
partment.
You will communicate this order to all the
members of your regiment, and proceed with
the execution until the election and approval
of a Colonel, who will, immediately after his
appointment, report himself with his officers
to these headquarters, when the regiment
will be uniformed, armed, equipped, and pro
vided with everything necessary for actual
service, and at the same time with special in
structions for drill and discipline.
The rolls of those men who should prefer
to join the cavalry or artillery, you will also
submit as early as possible, with the officers
suggested, to these headquarters.
Should any deficiency exist, this depart
ment will supply all of the different compa
nies with efficient officers, and complete their
organization.
It is my design to have in each regiment a
company of sharp-shooters, and one compa
ny of pioneers; all the best marksmen should
be concentrated in one company, and all the
best mechanics in another, under officers
adapted to the command of those companies.
J. C. FREMONT,
Major General Commanding.
