To Hi's Excellency, ALONZO GARCELON~ Sm :-I have the honor to herewith transmit my report as Adju­ tant General, Acting Quartermaster and Paymaster General, for the year ending this day. Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, S. D. LEAVITT, Adjutant General. REPORT. The Legislature, January 10th, 1879, elected Joshua L. Cham­ berlain Major General of Militia. The failure of the Legislature of 1878 to elect a Major General, practically abolished the former organization of the militia. By General Order No. 4, issued from this office November 1, General Chamberlain was assigned to the command of the Volunteer Militia. The force of High School Cadets has been increased one com­ pany, Rockland High School Cadets, armed by the State. Many new companies have been formed. The Lewiston Light Infantry and Frontier Guards have been armed and equipped by the State. Others have purchased arms of the State under order of the Governor and Council. The Inspector General's returns hows the condition of the organized force and State property in their hands, and condition of armories. LAW. The militia law should be repealed entite there is so little of it worth retaining, this would be the wisest course. A commission of competent persons should be appointed to digest and submit to the Legislature of 1880, a "practical code." This is a matter of too much importance to be longer delayed with credit to the State· They should at least authorize uniforming two companies.in 1880, one addition in 1881, and the fourth in 1882 (including overcoats.) The neglect and refusal of the Legislature of 1878 and 1879 to make the nec.essary appropriation for uniforms for the organized militia, justly merits the condemnation that it receives at the hands of every man who would see a well disciplined militia that would be a credit to our State. G ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT. ARSENAL. Upon inspection of arsenal buildings at Bangor they were found to be sadly in need of repairs. I recommended to the Governor and Council that such necessary repairs be made as would preserve the property. In accordance therewith the Governor and Council authorized the repairs to be made. The work was done under the supervision of Hon. John B. Foster. The arsenal building and fence inclosing same are now in good order. PENSIONS, By order of Governor and Council this department was removed from the Adjutant General's office, and established in a room m the rotunda with Benjamin Bunker, Esq., Pension Agent. HISTORICAL MEMORANDA of the war of 1861, as provided for in resolve, approved February 23, 1876, has not reached that state of completion to bear fair criticism. No memoranda has been forwarded to this office dur­ ing the year. ROLLS OF THE WAR OF 1812. The purchase by the State of the rolls of the militia and regular service in the war of 1812, in 1877, proves of great value to the soldiers of that war and their widows during the year. The index has been completed and substantially bound. About two thousand inquiries have been answered from these rolls, materially increasing the labofs of this office. vVoRK OF THE OFFICE.

It is called the Androscoggin Light Artillery, and is commanded by Captain Aurestus S. Perham. It · had at the time of its organization the maximum number of men allowed to a company of artillery, many of whom had been in that branch of the military service during the war of 1861. It has been supplied with a new battery of three inch guns from the arsenal at Bangor, but has not yet been uniformed.

Editor Markus Stein 2020 translation: Justin Howard i Introduction First of all, I would like to convey my thanks for the kind letters, sent in reply to my circular, in which many readers expressed understanding for the delay to this issue. In fact, two issues – the result of a year’s work – are now being published simultaneously and, as announced, the focus in this issue as well as part of the next one will be on the Campaign of 1807, which is now 180 years ago. This campaign, or rather its consequences, brought Napoleon I to the summit of his turbulent career, because France was then faced only by its arch-enemy England, and its sphere of power and influence had reached its greatest extent. But at what price! As early as the Winter Campaign of 1806/07, first major weak points had become apparent in Napoleon’s method of conducting warfare, for example the French army and corps commanders’ lack of strategic and tactical training. Significant flaws also manifested themselves in the French supply system, which was based almost exclusively on the requisition and purchasing of stocks and goods in the occupied enemy country – difficult to achieve in the impoverished and, moreover, wintry Poland.

    U. S. BUCKLES AND PLATES by Harry J. Repman I have made a rather arbitrary decision to discuss US plates and buckles from 1830-1860, but for what I hope are logical reasons. The Ordnance Manual of 1839 describes these pieces in rather general terms but with Ordnance Manufal of 1841, and later, there is a precise description so that we know exactly what we are dealing with. This era saw the expansion of the regular army, plus a War and a proliferation of various forms of accouterments. This was the time of the appearance of the Circular eagle and oval US plates familiar to the Civil War collector, the disa~~earanceof the traditional white buff leather and ;ie attachment of the bayonet to the belt with the resultant absence of the crossed belts on the replaced by the raised letters US.

But it has not been deemed advisable to encourage the formation of new CQmpanies, and none have been accepted. The ten companies of infantry which were organized under the law of 1869, and uniformed at the expense of the State, have been constituted a regiment and experienced officers have been elected to command it.
