Proclamation:
TO THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS.
I have this day received a communication
from the VVar Department of,the Confederate
States to the following effect:
" A large force will probably, and if at alt,
almost immediately, be needed to resist the co-
ercion measures of the Washington Adminis-
tration.
II To meet this condition of affairs, this De-
partment acting with reference to the power
vested in the Executive, by tlie act of Congress,
entitled • An act to provide for the public De-
fence,' suggest to'your Excellency tlie necessity
of calling at once for Three Thousand Volun-
teers, to be drilled, equipped and held in readi-
ness the most perfect, to meet arfy requisition
from this deparitnent.
" These troops wHl not, of course, be receiv-
ing any pay until they are mustered into the
service ; but the emergency is so pressing that
your Excellency will fully appreciate the grreat
importance of thorough preparation, especially
in regard to the instant capability to move."
To be in readiness to meet the demaud which
mav at any time be made upon us, it is neces-
sary to crfiploy the utrtiost activity and expedi
fion in providing the contemplated forces. Iu
order to facilitate their organization, the follow-
ing plan of operation will be observed :
The State is divided into six districts, for
each one of which is appointed and Aid by the
Governor, the du'y of whom shall be to control
and direct Iho organization of the companies
within his district, and to receive the reports and
muster rolls of the same, which he shall trans-
mit immediately to the Adjutant-General of the
State, at Austin.
Each of the above districts is sub-divided in-
to five lesser districts, in each of which is ap-
rainted an enrolling officer, the duty of whom
sml! J>e to enroll, with tho greatest expedition,
a company of one hundred men. Immediately
on obtaining the required numbers, he shall or-
der an election of officers foV the company—
whit h officers shall consist of one Captain, one
first Lieutenant, and to second Lieutenants, and
the Captain shall appoint four Sergeants, four
Corporals ánd two Musicians for his company
As soon as the company is grganized, ihe en-
rolling olticcr «ill forward the report thereof,
and the muster roll of the company of the Aid-
de-Canrp for his district.

These companies, as official information Indi-
cates, are required to be Infantry, which branch
of the service — although opposed tb the predis-
position of most Texans—may, in this instance,
be the reliable arms of the Forces. They are
designated for a duty in whieh Cavalfy would
be useless. They seem to be intended to receive
our Northern fo is, and in that event. upon them
will devolve the responsibility, and to them will
result the glory, of welcoming our invaders.
The idea to be held ever present in the or-
ganization of these forces, ia that of energy and
alacrity.
The companies to be raised rtiust lose no tinre
in placing themselves in a condition ^) be pre-
pared for active service at a moment's warning.
In the event that they are dematided for the
service, they wilt be ordered to rend&vobs'át
certain pointá, where each regiment will elect a
Colonel, a Lient.-Colónel, and a Major, before
presenting themselves for active duty.
It is superfluous to offer tb Tcxans any fur-
ther suggestions relative to (his organization.
Their well known ch'iyalry and patriotism render
me confident in the belief that the instant they
are aware of the requisition for their "service,
thousands of brave men will spring Into the
field, armed and equipped, and eager with the
determination of defending the right's and honor
of the Country.
Ih this connection, I desire to direct the atten-
tiofi of my "fellow-citizens to this suggestion :
Contemplating the events which are rapidly
crowding upon us—imminency of, war—and the
nccesity for thorough preparation, I earnestly re-
commend that the men of the Stale immediate-
ly organize themselves into volunteer companies.
Organize in each county ofie or two companies,
.of such numbers as your population will admit,
and report the same to the Adjutant-General of
the State, at Austin. These forces are to be held
as a reserve corps, for any emergency Which may
come upon the State. This organization will, in
no'manner,'interfere with the ordinary avoca-
tions of life, unless the exigency demands its
immediate action.
The citizens of the frontter, North, North,
west and West, are not expected to enter into
service under tlie requisition for three thousand
men for the Confederate States' Army. The
frontier itself must not be left defenceless, and
the frontier citizens arc the men to afford this
protection. Yet it is to be hoped they will all
incorporate themselves into the volunteer re-
serve corps.
I make an earnest appeal to the'people of the
entire State, to heed the suggestions which I
have made. " The emergency is upon us, and it
resta with the people to meet itfor thoy, and
they alone, are equal to it.
The Executive of the State is, perfectly con-
fident that the honor and interests of the coun-
try, which rests in your bands, will, in them,
tcmain forever secure.
