COPY OF HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR TRYON'S LETTER TO THE COMMANDING OFFICERS OF SEVERAL REG- IMENTS OF MILITIA.
NEWBERN, 19th March, 1771.
Sir,
I yesterday determined by consent of His Majesty's Council to march with a body of Forces taken from sev- eral Militia Regiments, into the settlements of the Insur- gents to reduce them to Obedience, who by their rebel- lious acts and declarations have set the Government at Defiance and interrupted the course of justice by ob- structing. overturning and shutting up the courts of Law. That some of your Regiment, therefore, may have a share in the Honor of serving their Country in this im- portant Service, I am to require you to make choice of men out of the Volunteers of the - -
Regi- ment. with Officers and non-commissioned Officers in proportion to the following Regulations, to which you will pay the strictest Regard :
Each company to consist of one captain, one Lieuten- ant, one Ensign, two sergeants, two corporals, one drum- mer, a clerk and fifty private Men, with a Field Officer and an Adjutant to the Detachment; the supernumerary Officers that are willing to march will be entitled only to provisions, and the pay of private men, if they choose to accept of that pay.
Every man to be allowed forty shillings for an encour- agement to serve in this expedition, and to be entitled to

receive two shillings a day while in Service, the eight pence per day for provisions being stopped for the com- missaries who have contracted to serve the troops with provisions ; each Man will also have a pair of leggings, a cockade and a Haversack given him, which you are to furnish, and when delivered and a certificate thereof pro- duced, signed by the commanding officer of the Regi- ment, I will give you a Warrant on the Treasury for the amount, as well as for the forty shillings per man you shall advance as Bounty Money.
The Ration of provisions to each man per day is one pound of pickled pork and one pound of wheat flour, or one pound and a half of fresh Beef instead of pork and one pound and a half of Corn meal instead of flour. when ordered. Each company to be allowed a strong, com- modious cart, with two able horses to carry the Baggage of the men, to be provided by the Colonel of the Regi- ment or Captain of the Company, and the owner to be allowed seven shillings and six pence per day while em- ployed in the service, he finding his own Horse with corn. If a wagon is hired it must carry the Baggage of two companies, to be provided as above, and fifteen shillings per day to be allowed for it, on the same conditions as for the Carts. The Wagoners will be allowed to draw their Rations of provisions as soldiers, but to have no pay.
The men must be made sensible the better they are provided with Arms and necessaries the better condition they will be in to serve their King and Country. No Volunteer to be accepted but those who are hearty, spir- ited, and can submit to a ready obedience to orders, nor will any soldier be allowed to take his horse, as the whole will march on foot, the officers to take as few horses as possible.
It is not intended to move the troops before the twen- tieth of next month, before which time you shall be in-

formed of the day you are to assemble your men, the time of march and the Road you are to take. .
It is recommended as a Christian Duty incumbent on every planter that remains at home, to take care of and assist to the utmost of his abilities the Families of those men who go on this service, that neither their Families nor plantations may suffer while they are employed on a service where the interests of the whole is concerned.
For the Expenditures ordered on this Expedition I shall give printed Warrants payable to Bearers; these . Warrants will become negotiable until the Treasury can pay them out of the contingent Fund, in case there is not a sufficiency of money in the Treasury to answer the nec- essary Services of this Expedition.
WM. TRYON, Gov. Gen. Commanding. (Col. Rec. of N. C.)

COUNCIL JOURNALS.
At a Council Held at the Council Chamber at the Palace in New Berne, 18th March, 1771.
Present : His Excellency the Governor. James Hassell. Martin Howard & The Honorable Esquires
Robert Palmer. Samuel Cornell.
The Governor laid before the board a letter he had in- tercepted of Rednap Howell's to James Hunter, dated Halifax, 16th February, 1771, last, and ordered the same be read and inserted in the Journals. Read the said let- ter, which reads as follows :
HALIFAX, 16th Feb., 1771.
JAMES HUNTER :
Respected Friend --
On my setting out for Halifax my horse fell sick, which detained me some time, so that on my arrival here I had certain information that Harmon was at liberty, so that I found it needless to raise the country, but I am satisfied it would be easily done if occasion required; however I have animated the people here to join the Regulators. On Saturday next come two weeks they are to have a meet- ing for that purpose. If it once takes a start here it will rapidly run into the neighboring counties of Edgecomb, Bute and Northampton, and thus undoubtedly facilitate
296
Some Neglected History
Justice to poor Carolina. I will now inform you of such things as I have learned since I left home. At New Bern the Governor called a general muster of a thousand and one hundred (1,100) men; after treating them at yours and my expense, he tried to prevail on them to march against the rebels ( Regulators), but at one man's absolute refusal, he ordered him to be turned out of the ranks as a Traitor, which he very readily did, and all the regiment followed, or were following him ; the Governor, perceiving his mistake, says, "Gentlemen, you mistook me: I only meant, should they come down and destroy all your livings, would you not fight them?" They an- swered yes, on which he dismissed . them. They then gathered in Companys of 6, 8, 10, and 12, growling, and swearing would the mob come down they would join them. In Dobbs a general muster was called for the same purpose, but only seven men attended. I am in- formed the Clerk's places in the New Counties are par- celled out among the Quality; one Cooper is designed for your country, but if you suffer any rascal to come there may eternal oppressions be your lot: as I cannot solely depend on the Irish ahead, pray you will reserve that morsel for yours to serve ; for as the whole province is in your favor, you may do as you list in that respect. I understand Butler and you are to be outlawed : despise it, laugh at it. We hear that the Governor has sent a proclamation to you importing as the French and Span- iards are now at War with us, it's a pity to breed a civil War among ourselves ; that the Chief cause of the trou- ble was the counterfeit money, for which the great men were to blame; artful villain! if he could have raised the Province on us before, he would have told another tale. However, if this be true, the day is ours in spite of Luci- fer. I give out here that the Regulators are determined to whip every one who goes to law, or will not pay his just debts, or will not agree to leave his cause to men
297
Of North Carolina
where disputes; that they will choose representatives, but not send them to be put in Jail : in short, to stand in defiance, and as to thieves, to send them out of the coun- try. I leave the plan to your consideration. From Your sincere friend, REDNAP HOWELL. (Col. Rec., Vol. VIII, p. 536.)
