A subsequent order numbered the regiment "Twenty-seventh
South Carolina" and arranged the officers as follows: P. C. Gaillard,
colonel; J. A. Blake (late captain, Charleston Battalion),
lieutenant-colonel, and Joseph Abney, major. The regiment now
had ten full companies. Subsequently, in 1864, the order of the
secretary of war disbanded one of them (Clarkson's, Co. K,) on
account of some illegality in its organization, and the regiment
consisted of nine companies during the rest of its career. The
Eleventh Regiment also consisted of nine companies, one of its
companies having been permitted to organize and equip as a light
battery. It was known as the Beaufort Artillery, and Steven
Elliott (now Major Elliott at Fort Sumter) was its first captain.
At the date of the brigade organization this company was formally
detached from the regiment.

The aggregate strength of the brigade thus formed was four
thousand, two hundred and forty-six (4,246) present and absent,
of whom fully five hundred were detailed in the different workshops,
offices, etc., in the department. The majority of these
men never got into the field. Some of them were properly
detailed where they were, and from their mechanical skill or
other special qualification for the detailed duty were more useful
to the cause than they would have been in the ranks. But most
of them were men whose native repugnance to the field endowed
them with a facility in dodging, which, when backed up by more
or less social influence, enabled them to skulk the war through
as employees in the conscript and other military bureaus, on railroads,
in printing offices, banks, blockade running and other
employments supposed essential to Confederate existence.
A short notice of the history and character of the regiments
now first brought together in brigade organization is necessary.
