late Gov of Tennessee
It wa; impracticable, situated as were the
afiVira of this eoimtry, (luring the war, that
special and particular orders could be made
out and forwarded to the Governors of the
respective states, ready, and calculated to
meet every particular exigency that mirht !
arise in the progress of the war. Where the
enemy might appear, and when; and hence,
for what definite period of time, militia ser
vice might be required, were matters, so
wholly dependent on the movements of the
enemy, that the distance at which the Genar
al Government was placed, rendered it e
nedient. and indeed indispensable, that some
thing of enlarged and general powers should
Be cor.nuea to me state executives, ann more
particularly to the executive Of Tennessee,
which was far distant from the seat Of, the
General Government. For thi3 reason,
doubtless and for none other, did Preaideuti
Madison, cause the above order to he issued
to Willie Blount, Governor of the Slate 'of
Tennessee.', v
By this act of congress, and order ofihe
Secretary of ,warv there was conferred, '-'an
full and ample powers on the Governor as the
President himself possessed m ' relation -4o
calling out the militia, an order, altogether
neceasary, that ill tuture, tne risque, danger,
and trouble of distant communications might
be avoided In times of certain emergencies
and imminent perils. That order, placed
within the discretion of the Governor of the
state, tt rieht and power of calling into ser-
vice so many of the militia of the , state, and
tor such length or time as ne might thtnk
Droner, cot exceeding sit months. The
Governor was authorised f to supply by mi
litia drafti any deficiency which piay arisej"
suggesting, merely, that reference should be
hiad to Gen. Pinclcney, as to the numbet that
might be considered necessary. Here, by
way pi better understanding, it may be prop
er to remark, tliat at this time. General Jack
