You will select some influential citizen or citizens in each of the above named counties, for the purpose of raising these companies— informing this Department at once of those selections.
The companies will be as nearly as possible, filled up to the maximum of one hundred men. As soon as filled they will be properly reported to this office, when they will be equipped, and such immediate orders and dispositions made as the public safety demands.
By order of the Governor,
