The regiments composing the 4th brigade are the 11th, Col. Maidhof; 22d, Col. Munroe; 69th, Col. Corconan; 79th, Col.
The 11th regiment was inspected on the 14th of October, and consisted of 10 rifle companies. There were present at inspec- tion 2 field, 3 staff and 3 non-commissioned staff officers ; a de- tachment of sappers and miners, 8; 9 captains; 19 lieutenants ; 68 sergeants and corporals; 12 drummers ; 5 buglers, and 282 privates; total, 411. Returned as absent, 2 lieutenants ; 7 ser- geants and corporals : 3 drummers ; 1 bugler, and 110 privates ; total absent, 123. The aggregate strength of the regiment is 534. Quite a number of the absentees have joined the volunteer regiments in various capacities. Company A, Capt. Dimon, alone contributing 27. A number of movements were creditably per- formed, establishing the fact that its present colonel understands

how battalion movements should be made. The companies re- turn 600 rifles, with bayonets, as in their possession, but belong- ing to the State. The 350 inspected were in good order. The accoutrements, in good order, consisted of 312 cartridge boxes, 512 bayonet scabbards, 529 waist belts and plates, and 525 cap pouches. Three of the companies were without cartridge boxes, and six companies were without knapsacks, which they are wait- ing for the State to furnish them.
The 22d regiment is newly organized and made its first parade on the occasion of its first annual inspection on the 19th of Oc- tober. It consists of six companies fully uniformed, armed and equipped. It had present 2 field, 2 staff and 4 non-commissioned staff officers, 5 captains, 10 lieutenants, 20 sergeants, 17 corporals, 11 drummers and 218 privates ; total present, 289, exclusive of a band of 25 pieces. The arms, 500 Enfield rifles and sword bayonets, and 300 full equipments are all private property, Owing to a severe rain that commenced falling it was impossible for the colonel to perform the movements that would have been made. Sufficient was performed, however, to show that the con- fidence of the officers electing him was not misplaced.
From the exhibition that was made in their drill in the manual, and the few battalion movements that were made, it is perfectly safe to say that this regiment will soon rival the most celebrated militia regiments of the country.
The 69th regiment was inspected on the 18th of October at their drill room in Essex market.
It is composed of 1 cavalry and 9 infantry companies, and had 1 field, 3 staff, 3 non-commissioned staff officers, a detachment of 8 sappers and miners, 4 captains, 16 lieutenants, 52 sergeants and corporals, 2 drummers and 180 privates present, making a total of 296 present. The absentees were 1 colonel, (Cor- coran,) 2 captains, 6 lieutenants, 23 sergeants and corporals, and 220 privates; total absent, 252 ; aggregate, 521. Bull Run and the newly organizing volunteer 69th account for the absentees. The arms of this regiment consist of $00 muskets and 35 sabres, all belonging to the State. The sabres and about 300 muskets were in good condition. The 300 muskets had been taken from the pile or heap where they had been thrown on the return of the regiment in July. Those remaining in the pile were in such rusted and rusting condition that when they are cleaned and the rust removed the bore will be 2-100 of an inch larger than origi-

nally made. The 69th has established a great reputation for courage on the field of battle, and justly so; also for devotion to the cause of human liberty, having made heroic sacrifices in behalf of that principle; it is with regret, however, that I am obliged to confess that the arms with which they fought so valiantly were left in the most neglected condition for three months.
The 79th regiment has not yet been inspected.

Having witnessed the complete destruction of the uniforms in those regiments that have returned from a three month's service at Washington, and of the inability of many to renew them, I most earnestly suggest that the State reuniform those whose term of militia service has not yet expired, and indemnity those whose time has expired, in their value at this time, to ascertain which, an inspecting officer could with propriety be detailed. Unless this shall be done, many of the members of regiments in the 1st division will be compelled to absent themselves from parades.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
OFFICE OF BRIGADE INSPECTOR, 16TH BRIGADE N. Y. S. M., SACKET'S HARBOR, October 31st, 1861.
To the Adjutant General of the State of New York :
Sir-No orders for inspection and review have been issued for the military year 1861, and, therefore, no inspection and review have taken place for said year. The undersigned, therefore, states that he has been prevented from rendering the ordinary inspection returns, as required by the military statute, title 5, article 1.
For information of the general condition of the brigade I would refer you to my report for 1860, published in the Adjutant General's report for the said year.
Whatever changes have taken place since that report you are probably informed of, if commandants have acted up to duty.
The imperfections in the pay system continue to be cause for much complaint.
Mostly the poor perform military duty ; and the poor mostly enlist and fight our battles. They should be better paid while attached to the militia, and taxation upon property should be the basis of the "pay system." Let this system be adopted and the law of taxation be rigidly and honestly enforced, there would be fair inducement for a performance of military and camp duty. Had such a system heretofore been adopted, in the event of the war which is now upon us, millions of dollars might have been saved from expenditures in feeding and drilling recruits; and still more, saved the lamentable demoralization resulting from such delay. Delays are worse than dangerous when a formidable enemy is at the very gate of our national capital.
With high regards, &c.,
E. W. LEWIS,
Inspector 16th Brigade N. Y. S. M.

ADJUTANT GENERAL.
STATE OF NEW YORK. ?
OFFICE OF THE BRIGADE INSPECTOR OF THE 10TH BRIGADE N. Y. S. M. GILBERTSVILLE, OTSEGO Co., November 20th, 1861. ) . To the Adjutant General of the State of New York:
In compliance with my duties I herewith transmit to you my annual inspection return for this brigade. The 41st regiment, commanded by Col. Chester Card, and the 42d, commanded by Col. James Whitford, were ordered to parade at Norwich, Che- mango county, on the 2d, 3d, and 4th of October, for military drill, review and inspection. The weather was fine for the whole time, and considering the number absent in the war the parade was highly interesting and creditable. Two entire companies were absent, besides many from all the companies, and but for the volunteer services of some four companies of home guards, who were invited out on the occasion, the attendance would have been slim indeed. I am happy to say the prospect is, these " Home Guard" companies will attach themselves to regiments of this brigade as soon as circumstances will admit. The great impediment in the way seems to be the requirements of General Regulations as to dress. I regard the regulations in this respect decidedly unfortunate, and too extremely "old fogy" for Yankee enterprise and spirit. The cheap, yet in all respects neat and beautiful dress of some of the companies that have sprung up, as it were, in a moment, and from necessity, are in my view pre-emi- nently calculated to inspire military enthusiasm in the masses, and I am satisfied the sameness required by our State Regula- tions has resulted in great injury to our military system. I would therefore recommend that the Regulations in this respect be so modified as to allow all military companies to select such dress as shall best suit their tastes.
The review by Brig. Gen. Thos. F. Petrie and staff came off on the 3d inst., and that of Major Gen. Samuel S. Burnside on the afternoon of the 4th, after which the inspection was made. I have to report division, brigade and regimental officers all fully armed, uniformed and equipped, and the rank and file as por return slightly deficient.
I cannot refrain from here expressing my regret that the Gov- ernment (in this its hour of great peril) has not called into its service our distinguished General, Thos. F. Petrie, as a colonel of some regiment.
It seems to me that the country needs his services, and I doubt
