Two batteries in each regiment of artillery are now, by Executive Order, designated as light batteries. The First Regiment of infantry was authorized by the act of April 30, 1790 (1 Stat. L., 119), the Second by the act of March 3, 1791 (ibid., 222), the Third and Fourth by the act of May 30, 1796 (ibid., 483), the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh regi. ments by the act of June 26, 1812 (2 Stat. L., 764), and the number of regiments of infantry was fixed at seven by the act to reduce and fix the military establishment, approved March 2, 1821. The Eighth Regiment was added by the art of July 5, 1833, and the President was authorized whenever he may deem it expedient, to cause not exceeding two of the regiments of infantry to be armed and equipped as regi ments of riflemen, and one other of the regiments of infantry to be armed and equipped and to serve as a regiment of light infantry." The Ninth and Tenth regi. ments were authorized by the act of March 3, 1855 (10 Stat. L., 701). The Eleventh to the Nineteenth regiments, inclusive, were organized by order of the President on May 4, 1861, the organization being confirmed by the act of July 29, 1861 (12 Stat. L., 279). Twenty five regiments, from the Twentieth to the Forty-fifth, inclusive, were authorized by the act of July 28, 1866, of which four, from the Thirty-eighth to the Forty-first, inclusive, were to be composed of colored men, and four, from the Fortysecond to the Forty-fifth, inclusive, were to be composed of men who had been wounded in the line of duty and were to constitute a Veteran Reserve Corps. At the reduction effected in pursuance of section 2 of the act of March 3, 1869 (15 Stat. L.. 318), the number of infantry regiments was reduced to twenty-five. In effecting the consolidation required by the act above cited, the designations of the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth. Thirteenth, Twentieth, and Twenty-third regiments were not changed; the Eleventh Regiment was formed, by consolidation, from the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-ninth; the Fourteenth from the Fourteenth and Forty-fifth; the Fifteenth from the Fifteenth and Thirty-fifth; the Sixteenth from the Eleventh and Thirty-fourth; the Seventeenth from the Seventeenth and Forty-fourth; the Eighteenth from the Eighteenth and Twenty-fifth; the Nineteenth from the Nineteenth and Twenty eighth; the Twentyfirst from the Twenty-first and Thirty second; the Twenty-second from the Twentysecond and Thirty-first; the Twenty fourth from the Thirty-eighth and Forty first; the Twenty-fifth from the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth. The regiments organized prior to the 4th of May, 1861, were composed of ten com panies each; those organized by Executive Order of that date were each composed of three battalions of eight companies each. The organization prescribed by the act of July 28, 1866, which is now in force, fixes the organization of an infantry regiment at ten companies, of a cavalry regiment at twelve companies, and a regiment of artillery at the same number. 3 See note 2 to paragraph 1071, ante. The enlisted men of Companies I and K of each regiment of infantry were, by General Orders Nos. 76 and 120 of 1890, from the Adjutant-General's Office distrib uted among the other companies of the several regiments. Under the authority con ferred by General Orders, No. 28, of 1891, from the Adjutant-General's Office, com panies of infantry have been organized the enlisted men of which were Indians. Subsequently the enlistment of Indians was discontinued, and these organizations have again become skeleton companies. (Report of Adjutant-General to the Secretary of War, pp. 7, 10.) 1081.
