Discussion of any historical topic are best made within context of time and place. Your post mentions several different events in Louisiana that took place after the period specifically mentioned in mine, March through May of 1862. My post mentioned that the Act of April 16, 1862, did not abolish the militia as an institution. However, the law did take the greater and best part of the militia, requiring them to be in Confederate service.
Also, it must not have been clear that we had been discussing volunteer militia commands of Louisiana. One section of your last post references one of these units. If I may quote you, the passage reads:
Upon the invasion of Louisiana and the fall of New Orleans, the Invincibles were disbanded and told to report to Camp Moore in Tangipahoa, about 80 miles to the north. Apparently the company did not remain intact, as some of the men were assigned to or joined other units such as Miles Louisiana Legion, the 27th and 28th Louisiana Infantry regiments, and the 8th Louisiana Infantry. However others appeared to have returned home, or at least no further records of their military service have been found.
Excellent example of what happened at the end of the period I described. The same story could be repeated for each of the state's volunteer militia units, including the three brigades raised for defense of New Orleans.
Being deprived of almost every military command in his state, Governor Moore called on his last remaining source of manpower, the statutory militia. As mentioned in my earlier post, the Conscript Act of April 16, 1862, made numerous exemptions, and every parish should have included enough men outside the age range 18 - 35 to form viable militia companies. You mentioned the militia of Terre Bonne. Here's the relevant order --
LOUISIANA MILITIA, ADJT. GEN.'S OFFICE, Opelousas, June 14, 1862
I. The militia of the parishes of Terre Bonne, Saint Mary's, and Saint Martin, of the Sixth Brigade, Louisiana Militia, are called into actual service.By order of Thomas 0. Moore, Governor and commander-in-chief: M. GRIVOT, Adjutant and Inspector General.
II. Maj. Gen. John L. Lewis, commanding Louisiana Militia, will issue orders to the colonels of said regiments direct.
Your post mentioned rebellion of the militia in Vermillion Parish. If anyone is interested, I will provide references from the OR to this and other incidents mentioned. In Vermillion the militia and other citizens refused to accept Confederate script or obey the law. As these men defied the power of the government, it's not a useful example for the impact of the Conscript Act except to show that it often provoked a hostile response).
Your post also mentioned Capt W W Johnson of the "Special Battalion". It would appear that Governor Moore and his official organized small ad hoc militia units wherever possible. Moore praised the actions of Capt Johnson and his band of "ragged and half-armed" men. This group probably included less than a company-sized unit, unevenly armed and not in uniform.
Your post also mentioned the following --
I interpret that to mean that if the state had a law keeping its militia that the Confederates could not mess with them as they were "exempted for the due administration of the government" which would include the Adjutant General's office. This last statement of mine is further evidenced by the wording in General Order No. 57 issued from the Headquarters of the Trans-Mississippi in Shreveport on July 23, 1864, Part II, which directs, "Assessors and Collectors of Confederate taxes, Officers of the Confederate Treasury, and employees of the Nitre and Mining Bureau, and the Adjutant General's Department will not be interfered with..."
The reference to the Adjutant-General's Department obviously references the Confederate AG, since each of the group of officers mentioned reported to Confederate authority. Aside from that, your opinion on this subject mirrors the opinion expressed by most Southern governors: militia officers were officers of the state and therefore exempt from the COnscript Act. The government in Richmond often enforced the law differently.
This topic and others like it are reviewed in Albert B Moore, Conscription and Conflict in the Confederacy, pp 238-242. You will find this a useful reference source for the topic under discussion.
