The Daily Dispatch: April 15, 1861., [Electronic resource], The military force of Pennsylvania. (search)
The military force of Pennsylvania. --In view of the "war bill" passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature Friday night, tendering volunteers from that State to aid Lincoln in subduing the Confederate States, the following from the Harrisburg (Pa.) Union is interesting: From official sources we learn that the whole number of organized volunteer companies in this State is about 500, averaging about 40 men to a company, making an aggregate of over 20,000 uniformed volunteers. The entire military force of the State is about 355,000 men capable of military duty. The arms of the State are all in the possession of the volunteer companies, and comprise 12,080 muskets, 4,706 rifles, 2,809 cavalry swords and sabres, 3,147 pistols, 69 pieces of ordnance, being six-pound bronze cannon. Of the above there are only about 2,500 muskets of the new model, 1,200 improved rifles, and about 500 cavalry swords. The balance are unfit for active service, being mostly of the heavy old flint-lock.
