In response, I have the honor to transmit herewith, a report from the Superintendent of Conscription, containing the information called for by the House. -Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOHN C. BRECKINRIDGE, Secretary of War. report of superintendent of bureau of conscription. Confederate States of America, War Department, Bureau of Conscription, Richmond, Va., Feb. , 1865. Hon. J. C. Breckinridge, Secretary of War: Sir: * I have the honor to invite your attention to the papers herewith enclosed, respectively marked A, B, C, D, E, F, G, II, I, K and L, in response to a call for information on the 30th ultimo, by the House of Representatives of the Confederate States, by the following resolution, which was referred by you to this Bureau, with instructions to furnish the information required : " Resolved, That the President be respectfully requested to com- municate to this House — First — The number of soldiers from each State added to the mili- ftarv service by enrollment, volunteering or otherwise, since the en- actment of the act of April 16th, 1862, commonly known as the "con- script act." Second — The number of those within the conscript age exempt or detailed, discriminating as to the classes of each, in each State. Third — The number of those within the ages of eighteen and forty- five years, not disabled or unfit for active service in the field, who are employed in the respective States in executing the law of conscrip- tion, or in connection with post commissaries and post quartermas- ters, or otherwise, in derogation of existing laws." The paper marked A shows the number of persons enrolled and" .assigned to the army since the passage of the act of congress ap- proved April 16th, 1862. B gives an approximate estimate of the number who have volun- teered since the passage of said act. These persons for the most part regarded it as disgraceful to be conscribed, and went directly to the army, avoiding enrollment and assignment from the camp of instruc- tion. There is, therefore, no record of them at the camps, and no means of making an estimate. Though called " volunteers," their joining the service was compulsory, and should be accredited to the energy exhibited in the enforcement of conscription. This estimate is regarded as much too small. C exhibits the number of persons ascertained by the medical board to be incapable of performing service in the field, who have been as- signed under the 8th section of the act of congress approved Feb- ruary 17th, 18t>4, to the various branches of service for which they were recommended by said board. D exhibits the number of persons exempted, of the several classes of exempts enumerated in the said act of congress. E exhibits the Dumber of agricultural details. F exhibits the number of details allowed tor reasons of public ne- cessity. G exhibits the number of details allowed the several Bureaux and Departments of service, upon the certificates of the Chiefs or Heads thereof, that the persons applied for were indispensable to the public service, exclusive af the details of contractors, artisans, mechanics, &c. for government service. II exhibits the details of contractors with the government to fur- nish supplies, alsoallowed upon certificates of Heads of Departments, that the persons applied for were indispensable. I exhibits the number of details of artisans, mechanics, «vc. These are also allowed upon certificates of the Chiefs or Heads of Depart- ments, that the persons applied for are experts, skilled, and indispen- sable to the public service, in conformity with G. 0. No. 77, A. & I. G. 0. of L864. K exhibits the number of deserters returned to the army by the agencies of conscription. This statement is not called for by the resolution, but it is deemed important for the information of Congress. L is a recapitulation of the several statements furnished. Tin 1 records of the Bureau do not show that any persons between the ages of eighteen and forty-live years, capable of service in the field, are employed in the business of conscription, except officers whose commands have been consolidated, and have therefore no ap- Eropriate service in the field, and the drtlfmasters assigned to the usiness of conscription. Conscripts employed as enrolling officers are taken from the list of those unfit for field service. This Bureau has no means of showing the number of persons be- tween eighteen and forty-five years of age, capable of field service, who are in the employment of post quartermasters or post commis- saries. It is not informed, and it is not usually stated where the commissaries or quartermasters applying for details are stationed. The details under existing orders can only be granted upon Vt.e cer- tificates of the Quartermaster and Commissary General, that the per- sons applied for are experts, and indispensable to the public service, and the place or post of employment is not regarded as an element of the necessity which demands the detail. Hence the Bureau insti- tutes no enquiry upon the point. In order to render the report as accurate as the imperfect agencies allowed to the enrolling service will admit, it has been delayed till the present time to obtain the latest information from the comman- dants of the various States, furnished by their monthly consolidated returns. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your ob't serv't, JNO. S. PRESTON, Brig. Gem. Sf Sujpt.
