and other additions, probably 2,000

__ Total 128,905
Besides nine regiments of reorganized Home Guards 1864—65.... 5,000

Grand total

Which is slightly in excess of Major Gordon’s estimate in
Vol. 1 of this work, at page 19.

The total enrollment in the Home Guards in the Spring
of 1864 was 25,098. ‘This embraced men from 45 to 50,
and 5,589 militia officers, magistrates and other civil officers
exempt from Confederate service and other exemptions and
those exempt from physical disability. This latter class was
reported to the Confederate Congress at 7,885. It is proba-
ble that the exemptions of all kinds from the Home Guards
were one-half, leaving 12,500 in Home Guards. Of this
number 6,000 were later taken into Confederate service as
Senior Reserves, leaving the Home Guards only 6,500, of
whom, however, when finally ordered out not more than 5,000
(as above stated) got to the front. The number of officers,
1,312, which were not very excessive before the Home Guard
was depleted by taking out the Senior Reserves, became
nearly one-fourth of the force when mobilized, as appears
