RICHMOND, VA., September 27, 1862.
Honorable G. W. RANDOLPH,
Secretary of War:
The undersigned Senators and Representatives from the State of North Carolina do most respectfully ask, if deemed consistent with the public interest, that the State be erected into a separate and distinct military department. Its large water frontier and the numerous avenues by which hostile advances may be made into the interior, threatening the safety of its important rallways, as well as the protection of a large, populous, and grain-producing region, require, in our opinion, the constant vigilance and undivided attention of a miliatary commander. We beg further to suggest the name of Brigadier General J. J. Pettingrew for the position, an officer who, besides his high qualifications for the office, is identified with the interests of the State and possesses the full confidence of the people.
W. T. DORTCH.
