I am authorized immediately to muster in for the war companies and regiments — the companies of one hundred men each; the regiments of ten companies.

Remember the dungeons of Fort Lafayette and Fort Warren, the insults to your wives and daughters, the arrests, the midnight searches of your houses! --Remember these, your wrongs, and rise at once in arms and strike for liberty and right. Bradley T. Johnson, Col. C. S. A. September 8th, 1862.
