ALONZO B. OORNELL. rSen. Doc. No. 43.] 1 • REPORT. GENERAL HEAD-QUARTERS,STATEOF NEW YORK, } ADJUTANT-GENERAL'SOFFICE, ALBANY, Janual'y 9, 1882. His Excellency, Governor ALONZO B. CORNELL, Oommander-in- Ohief: SIR - I have the honor to submit the following as the report of this department for the year ending the 31st of December, 1881 : ORGANIZATION. On the 31st of December, 1880, in my annual report for that year, I stated the strength of the NationalGuard at that date to be 18,116 offieers and enlisted men; since then but one organization has been added to the force, namely: The Second Separate Oompany of InfantrYj Oa.ptain W m.M. Kirby, at Auburn~ Cayuga county. Soon after the disbandment of the Forty-ninth Regiment in the year 1880, whose head-quarters were at Auburn, an effort was made by citizens of Auburn to raise, from their best military ',material, a separate com- pany of infantry, deeming the presence of such a military body es- sential to the preservation of the good order of their city, in view especially of its need in the event of seriolls disturbance in connec- tion with the State's prison located in their midst. As the material volunteering was of such excellent charactel', and as the State has an admirable armory in that city, it was deemed advisable to organ- ize this separate company. During the past year the following organizations have been dis- banded, namf:>ly: The Tenth Regiment, Albany, excepting its com- panies "A," "B," "D" and "K," which have been reorganized into the Tenth Battalion; the Twenty-fifth Regiment, Albany; the Eleventh Separate Company of Infantry ~at Westfield, Chautauqua county; Troops "A," New York city, "D" and" G," Brooklyn, and " M," Utica, while Troop" C," SJracuse, has been reorganized into a 4 [SENATE battery of artillery, as Battery" C," and Troop" E," Mt. Vernon, Westchester county, into a separate company of inf~ntry, as the Eleventh Separate Oompany. After these disbandments and changes the National Guard on the 31st of December, 1881, comprised six divisions, eleven brigades, nineteen regiments, six battalions and thirty-seven separate companies of infantry, one troop of cavalry and eleven battoriesof artillery, making in the aggregate, inclusive of General Head-quarters, 10,046 officers and enlisted men. UNIFORM AND EQUIPMENTS. The remarks made in my report of last year as to the uniforms and equipments of the Guard are still pertinent. In view of the manifestly absurd character of the various kinds of uniform worn by the organizations of the Guard as a whole, comprising swallow-tail coats, froek-coats, coatees, tunics, sacks, etc., of various shades of colnr, stuffed to repletion with padding material and senselessly ornamented, it was deemed advisable to prepare models of a proper service dress, and submit the same for examination to a board of offi- cers, distinguished by their military acqui1'ements and long service in the Guard, as a tentative toward the establishment of a suitable uniform for general service. This was done, and the models laid before the board without limiting it to their adoption; but they were rather suggesti vely placed before the board as a basis for the consideration of the question 6f the propel' kind of uniform for the GlUu'd as a whole, which the board would tinally report. It is some what gratifying to discover from the new army regulations, jus- issued, that the coat and pant,aloons oft he infantry and artillery uni- form, therein described and pr~scribed as the uniform of the United States army, must bear a' rather close reRemblance to the models already placed before the board, though, when these models were being prepared, the intention of the military authorities of the United States was whollynnknown at the Genel'al Head-quarters, The board was constituted by special orders No. 185, dated Nov. 23, 1881, as follows: Brig.-Gen'l, Wm. G. Waru, First Brigade; 001. George D. Scott, Eighth Regiment; Ool. John N. Partridge, Twenty-third Regiment; Lient.-Ool. Appleton D. Palmer, Seventy- first Regiment, and Oapt. Henry W. Linderman, Battery "M." This board is still engaged in its labors and it is not yet known what will be the final outcome, but it is eal'Tlestly hoped that the general principle of the models will be adhered to. r No. 43.J 5 The national guardsman certainly needs, quite as much as the sol- dier, in caplpaign a convenient and serviceable uniform and equipments -one which has heen found under all circumstances of stress and weather to be best adapted to the preservation of the health and efficiency of the man. But as at present uniformed, the guardsman - simply a civilian unused to hardship and exposure- steps from his office, fronl the desk, the conntel' or the shop, and clothing himself in a densely-padded and tightly-fitting swallow-tail coat, with his abdomen now more exposed than when wearing his habitual sack or frock-coat, with his tightly adjusted cross-belts and an hermetically-sealed hat, starts out on a parade of ceremony in which for 'miles he is obliged to march in the cadence:step through the stifling streets of a sweltering city, under a raging sun,with the thermometer at ninety degrees, and hethillkshe is indeed a soldier and must therefore discharge the duty before him manfully, regardless of the sunstroke, or other ulterior consequences to his general health. As instance the parade of the Second Division on last Decoration day, . in Brooklyn, when the cases of sunstroke and exhaustion were so plentiful "that whole organizations thus suffering were finally ordered from the column to rest and gradually find their way back to their respective armories. This pamde was a notable one for casualties of this nature resulting entirely as the H active cause" from an ab- surd and incongruous uniform. But it is safe to say that during the summer hardly a parade of any large body of the Guard OCCllrs anywhere in the State without being attended more or less by these casualties. In the Brooklyn parade the men who suffered the least were the veterans of the war, whose uniform was perhaps better adapted to the exigency, or they knew, very naturally better, how to husband their strength. Oertainly it IHnst be apl!arent that the citizen soldiet', tOblly unused to these severe strail~s, needs more than the veteran, to be less hampered with overy thing which tends to the impairment or prevents the full and free exercise of his physi- cal power. Let us .remem bel' that an army is made np of men of flesh and bwod and whose power is limited to the condition of the material, and that every sensible commander knows right wen tl,lat the good health of the men and, as far as possible, their comfort, are the conditions precedent to his successful strategy and the delivery of battle, and that conseq nently his efforts are ceaseless in this direc- tion. May it not be hoped then that this board of able and experi- enced officers will provide for t,he Force a style of service uniform and equipment that at least shall not prove subversive of the health , 6 [SENATE and effectiveness of the men, and while securing these desiderata, that it shall also be substantial in texture and durable in dye, capable of being sponged with alcohol and ammonia and even s(;rubbed with soap, to remove stains and disfigurements incident to the street bivouac, the camp or even the ceremonious parade, and be thereafter almost as good as new. In this connection it lllay be as well to advert to the present method of uniforming the guard under the Code. Each organization establishes its own peculiar uniform. If it be a company just organized it receives from the State the sum of $15 for the coat and pantaloons, and $4 for the head gear - all that the nniform should cost - which the State furnishes by paying to this extent the bills of th~ tradesmen whom the company employs to furnish the uniform. But this sum does not satisfy these bills, as the uniform costs the command in addition anywhere from five to fifty dollars per man, and the tradesmen, as a general thing, give . the company credit for the balance, expecting ill the course of time to get their money from the company out of the "Uniform and Equipment fund," which theState furnishes all existing- organizations each year at the rate of $8 a man for each man who has paraded seven times during the year. Thus the co~npal1Ystarts off with its often ridiculous and generally worthless uniform on a credit, and because of which, at an expense perhaps largely exceeding the.price at which the uniform could have been procured had cash been paid on delivery, especially as the tradesman is to run the risk of disband- ment before his bills are paid.

  • Sino-US Relations and Ulysses S. Grant's Mediation
    Looking for a Friend: Sino-U.S. Relations and Ulysses S. Grant’s Mediation in the Ryukyu/Liuqiu 琉球 Dispute of 1879 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad Michael Berry Graduate Program in East Asian Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Thesis Committee: Christopher A. Reed, Advisor Robert J. McMahon Ying Zhang Copyright by Chad Michael Berry 2014 Abstract In March 1879, Japan announced the end of the Ryukyu (Liuqiu) Kingdom and the establishment of Okinawa Prefecture in its place. For the previous 250 years, Ryukyu had been a quasi-independent tribute-sending state to Japan and China. Following the arrival of Western imperialism to East Asia in the 19th century, Japan reacted to the changing international situation by adopting Western legal standards and clarifying its borders in frontier areas such as the Ryukyu Islands. China protested Japanese actions in Ryukyu, though Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) leaders were not willing to go to war over the islands. Instead, Qing leaders such as Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) and Prince Gong (1833-1898) sought to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, including appeals to international law, rousing global public opinion against Japan, and, most significantly, requesting the mediation of the United States and former U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). Initially, China hoped Grant’s mediation would lead to a restoration of the previous arrangement of Ryukyu being a dually subordinate kingdom to China and Japan. In later negotiations, China sought a three-way division of the islands among China, Japan, and Ryukyu.

  • Commander's Corner
    Generals Ward & Chennault & LT Helseth China Post 1® Poop Sheet Commander’s Corner By 龙老板 Scott Riebel, Commander Hello Comrades, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. On January 25th, we will ring in the year of the Rat. Each new year brings us new opportunities, and this year will be no different. The vision of the future of China Post 1 looks bright, the Post is fiscally sound, our membership renewal rate remains strong with nearly 90% of our members having renewed this year, and the Post enjoys the overwhelming support of the members for our shared vision of the future of the Post. Part of that vision is developing a sound relationship with the owners of the Old Post Home at 209 Fuzhou Lu, Shanghai and establishing a long-term sustainable Post presence in China. We’ve achieved tangible results in that arena. During the second week of December 2019, Joe Gentile and I traveled to China with the hopes of opening a dialog between the Director of Cultural resources, Shanghai, the U.S. Consulate and China Post 1. This edition of the Poop Sheet contains an abbreviated copy of our trip report detailing our efforts and successes. We will be returning in February to finalize plans for the Post to present the plaque celebrating our 100th anniversary, scheduled for April 20, 2020.

GENERAL HEAD-QUARTERS, STATE OF NEW YORK, 1 ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, ALBANY, Jan. 14. 1859. ~ To his Excellency E. D. MORGAN, Commander-in-Chief of the m'llitary forces of the State of N. Y.: Sir: Pursuant to the provisions of the law of Congress, " establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," I have the honor to submit the following REPORT: The organized portion of the militia of the State has, during the past year, made marked improvement in discipline and military information. l When compared with its condition during and prior to the year 1857, it is certainly entitled to much praise for its present attitude, and for the evidences of zeal which pervades its ranks. Notwithstanding that the relief which the present defective law affords has always been greatly inadequate to meet the heavy pecuniary demands upon the force, and that the general regulations have recently largely increased these demands, the militia has passed through the trying y'ear of 1858 with honor and credit. To one interested in the development of our militia, and aware of the additional bur~hens in time and money which these regulations have heaped upon it, this intelligence cannot be otherwise than gratifying. betokening as it does a degree of military ardor throughout the State, hopeful in the extreme.

THE ALBANY HOSPITAL. The Albany Hospital was incorporated April 11th, 1849, and was formally opened for the reception of patients November Ist, 1851. A temporary building was at first occupied, on the corner ofLydius and Dove streets, while the present edifice was remodeled and prepared for use. The first officers of the Board of Management, elected July 14th, 1.851, were, John C. Spencer, President. Ezra P. Prentice, Vice-President. Joel Rathbone, Treasurer. Franklin Townsend, Secretary. The late Robert Townsend was elected Secretary, August 2d, 1858, and held the office until 1860. Stephen Groesbbeck, the present Secretary, was elected November 21st, 1862. At the inauguration oftheInstitution, the late Hon. John C. Spencer, its first President, who had labored with unre- mitting zeal in its behalf, commenced the exercises with the following remarks : I congratulate you, fellow citizens, that, at last, a Hos- pital for the relief of the poor and the suffering is opened in our ancient city. The increase of ourpopulation, the extension of business, and the collection of travelers by land and by water, at this great central point, renders such an institution not only an act of ordinaryhumanity, but of absolute necessity. Our railroads West, North, East and South, the canals terminating here, the river navigation by vessels and steam boats, bringing each clay multitudes exposed to all the casualties of travel—in addition to those incident to the 4 extensive business of an active resident population of 50,000 who are building houses, working factories, excavating earth, and carrying on all the branches of mechanical art, must inevitably produce a vast amount of bodily injury and disease.

  • Frederick Townsend Ward
    GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1 “WAH” THE MERCENARY OF SALEM MA 1831 November 29, Tuesday: Frederick Townsend Ward was born near the docks of Salem, Massachusetts (since most of his correspondence has been destroyed by a relative, we know very little about the earlier portions of this short life). In Providence, Rhode Island, Friend Stephen Wanton Gould wrote in his journal: 3rd day 29 of 11 M 1831 / Our sub committee Meeting was held - it was a pleasant time, & the buisness conducted harmoniously. — RELIGIOUS SOCIETY OF FRIENDS 1. Face retouched to conceal battle wounds. HDT WHAT? INDEX FREDERICK TOWNSEND WARD “WAH,” THE MERCENARY GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1846 Winter: Frederick Townsend Ward, unsuccessful in obtaining an appointment to West Point, had attempted to enlist in the US Army to go on its attack against Mexico. Therefore upon reaching the age of 15, his father allowed the recalcitrant youth to ship out for China as a 2d mate on the clipper Hamilton, the captain of which was a relative. 1847 Fall: Frederick Townsend Ward returned from China and, for a time, studied at a military academy in Vermont. Hung Hsiu Ch’üan , while on his way to meet with followers in Kwangsi, passed a “Nine Demons Temple” and on its wall inscribed a poem to the effect that he had been sent by God to drive away such imps. 1849 At the age of 17 or 18, Frederick Townsend Ward again signed ship’s papers, this time as a 1st mate. (He would later boast of having been during the ensuing decade a Texas Ranger, and a Californian gold-miner, and an instructor in the Mexican military service, and an officer in the French army of the Crimea.
