OFFICIAL REPORT OF mom PRO. VOST MARSHAL I CONCIERSINO. THE WORKING OF HIS BUREAU. linmber who were „Enlisted in the Armies of the united States—Casualties during the Rebellion. - WAR DEPARTMENT, PROVOST MARSHAL GENERAL'S BUREAU, WASHINGTON, D. C., 1866.—H0n. B. M. 'Stanton, 'Secretary of War—Sin: The act of Congress creating the office of Provost Marshal General was approved March 3, 1863. I was appointed to it March 17, 1863. Within a few weeks from that date the network of the organiza tion, adopted under thedaw, was extended over the loyal States, and countries and towns of the same; and the principal duties of the buread, to wit: the arrest of de serters,enrollment of the national forces for draft, and the enlistment of volunteers had been commenced. When the bureau was put in operation the strength of the army was deemed inade quate for offensive operation. Nearly 400,000 recruits were required to bring the regiments and companies then in service up to the legal and necessary standard. Dis aster had been succeeded by inactivity, and the' safety of the country depended on speedy and, continued reinforcement • of the array. The insufficiency of the system of recruitment previonbly pursued had been demonstrated, and the army was diminish ing by the ordinary casualties of war, but more rapidly by the expiration of the terms for which the troops were engagod to serve. The general government, through this' bureau, assumed direct control of the business which had heretofore been trans acted mainly by the State governments The provost marshals of the several con gressionaldistricts, aided by a commissioner and surgeon in each, were recruiting offi cers. Springing directly from the people and at the same time exercising the autho rity and repreSenting the i necessities and wishes of the Government, they reached the masses, and were able, without abating the requirements of the conscription, to pro mote volunteering, and to examine, enlist, muster, clothe and forward recruits as fast as they could be obtained. The quotas of districts and sub districts were made knOwn. Each locality was advised of the number it was required to furnish, and in the event of failure that the draft would follow. This system- (though administered under diffi culties and- discouragements, further al hadedto in the full report) met the wants of the service. Recruits were rapidly ob tained by voluntary enlistment or draft, and such strict regard was paid to their physical fitness before accepting them as to greatly reduce the enormous loss on ac count of discharges for physical disability which had prevailed during the first two years of the war. The following is a con densed, summary of the results of the opera rations of this bureau from its organization to the close of the war. 1. By means of a full and exact enrollment of all persons liable to conscription under the law of March 3 and its amendments, a complete exhibit of the military resources of the loyal States, in men, was made,show ing an aggregate number of 2,254,063, not including 1,000,516 soldiers actually under arms when hostilities ceased. 2. One million one hundred and twenty thousand six hundred and twenty-one men were raised, at an average cost (on account of recruitment, exclusive of bounties) of $9 84 per man, while the cost of recruiting of 1,356,593, raised prior to the organization of the bureau, was 334 01 per man. A sav ing of over seventy cents on the dollar in the cost of raising troops was thus effected under this bureau, notwithstanding the in crease in the price of subsistence, transpor tation, rents, ctn., during the last two years of the war. [ltem—The number above given does not embrace the naval credits al lowed under the eighth section of the act of July 4, 1634, nor credits for drafted men who paid commutation, the recruits for the regular army, nor the credits allowed by the Adjutant General subsequent to May 25, 1863, for men raised prior to that date.] 3. Seventy-six thousand five hundred and twenty-six deserterd were arrested and re turned to the army. The vigilance and energy of the officers of the bureau, in this line of business, put an' effectual check to the wide -spread evil of desertion, which, at one time, impaired so seriously the nume rical strength and efficiency- of the army. 4. The quotas of men furnished by the various parts of the country were equalized, and a proportionate share of military ser vice secured from each, thus removing the very serious inequality of requirement, which had arisen during the first two years of the war, and which, when the bureau was organized, had become an almost insu perable obstacle to the further progress of raising troops. 5. Records were completed showing mi nutely the physical condition of 1,014,776 of the men examined, and tables of great scien tific and professional value have been com piled from this data. 6, The oasPalties in the entire military fOrce of the nation during the war of the rebellion, as shown by the official muster rolls ana monthly returns, have Peen Com piled with, in part, this result: BILLED IN ACTION OR DIED OF WOUNDS WHILE IN SERVICE. Commissioned officers, En/ieted . Men, - DIED FROM DISEASE OR ACCIDENT. tommissioned officers, - - - 2,321 Enlisted, men, - - - - 162,329 Total loss in servlC+l, 7 7 2.59,7,;u -' These figures have been carefully com piled from the complete official files of mus ter-rolls and monthly returns, but yet en tire accuracy is not claimed for them, as errors and omissions to some extent doubt less prevailed in the rolls and returns. Deaths (from wounds or disease contracted in service) which occurred after the men left the army, are not included in these figures. 7. The system of recruitment established by the bureau under the , laws of Congress, if permanently adopted (with such im provement as experience may suggest), will be capable of maintaining the numerical strength and improving the character of the army in time of peace, or of promptly and economically rendering available the na tional forces to any required extent, in time of war. 8. Through the instrumentality of this bureau,. there was disseminated throughout the loyal States, a knowledge of the routine of business in the various bureaus of the War Department, which was essential to intelligent and effective co-operation in the recruitment (through popular effort) of the armies of the republic. The extension of the bureau over the country brought to gether the Government and the people by closer ties, nurtured that mutual confidence and reliance through which the civil war was brought to a successful termination. and developed a consciousness of national _strength which will promote future peace and prosperity. 9. The results under, the act for enroll rnentand draft were attained without cost to the Government. The bureau never asked or required an appropriation of mo tley for these purposes. There were raised by its own operations, in conformity to law $26,366,316 78 Out of this sum all the ex penses of enrollment and, draft, and addi tional ones called for by special laws, were met. *balance of no less than.t9,300,105 - 64 'remained .(January Ist, 1866) to the credit of the bureau, in the treasury- of the United States; The foundations of the , success'of the bureau, which I have controlled under your order and supervision, have been —First, , the hearty cu-operation °tale civil officers of the different States, sustained by the elevated loyalty, and , earnestness of the masses of the people; second, the judicious legislation of Congress. 4, ask especial attention to the faithful and efficient manner in - which- the district pro vost marshals,commissioners and sargeonS, as a ()lass, have performed the.. duties de volving upon them from the commencement of their term of office to the close of the war: In general these officers were appointed each upon ate-recommendation of hie district in Congress. Mostly without military expe rience, they undertook the discharge of du ties, not only arduous in themselves, but rendered additionally so by the fact that they 'were without . precedent, as no -like service had hitherto been required .of offi cers of the Government. In order to per form the duties defined by the enrollment act and the regulations-of this bureau, and others specially assigned to them, they were obliged to acquaint themselves with the business of the-Adjutant General's office, the quartermaster, commissary and ord nance departments, in the details of cloth ing, subsisting, arming and equipping of conscripts and recruits, and forwarding them for the army. Moreover, there was no district in which thejboard of enrollment was free from the annoyance of evil dis posed persons, hostile to the. Government, ',who were ever ready and willing to embar rass its operations by stimulating resistance to the draft, or discouraging enlistments. In some places, where this element seemed likely for a time to predominate, the ,firm ness and energy of these officers enforced the law, and convinced the seditious that re sistance was futile. But the healthy influ ence exercised by them was not confined to combating and disarming the enemies of the Government in their districts. It was also manifested in the great moral force exerted by them and their subordinates throughout the country in maintaining' the national cause and aiding in the formation and dis semination of a proper public sentiment re garding the recruitment of the loyal army and the prosecutionlof the struggle 'for the integrity of the Union. The construction was not presented as a popular measure, but one of stern necessity, and it was not to be expected that the officers, whose business it was to enforce it. could escape the odium cast upon it by its opposers. It was difficult to convince the drafted man, whose family depended upon his labor for support, and who was 'unable to procure a substitute or pay commutation, that the law which forced him to enter the service was intended for his benefit, or that the board of enrollmentihad not done him injustice in refusing to exempt him. The opponents of the measure were prompt to render pretended sympathy and encourage opposition by misrepresenting facts, magni fying cases of real hardship, or creating imaginary grievances when real ones were wanting. The action of the civil courts was invoked, and the officers subjected to ha rassing litigation; and in many instances fines were imposed upon them for acts done in their official capacity pursuant to the or ders of superior and competent authority. It gives me great pleasure to bear testimo ny to the satisfactory manner in which the duty has been discharged, notwithstand ing the above-mentioned obstacles. lam confident that there is no class of pub lic servants to whom the country is more indebted for valuable services rendered, than the district provost-marshals and their associates (comprising the boards of enrollments),by whose efforts the army o: the Union, which suppressed the rebellion was mainly recruited. 4 4. 4 4 4 4 ,3 In conclusion, I beg leave to remark that, while I am aware that no bureau can claim special credit for faith ful performance of duty, still it may be pro perly said that, in completing the result be fore enumerated, this bureau has the merit of having acted under extraordinary cir cumstances and difficulties, such as the vastness of the powers conferred on it, the peculiar character of the laws governing it, and above all, the novelty in our country of the measure of conscription; and yet, without evading or neglecting any public duty, the rights of citizens have been duly considered, and personal liberty always re spected, excepting in such measures as were necessary for the levying. of troops and ar rest of deserters in execution of acts of Con gress, and in these only to the extent re quired to provide for the public safety so far as it depended on this branch of the ser vice. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant, JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. Later From Europe.
