UNION AUTHORITIES.
geon of the regiment, and if found unfit for duty by reason of per-
manent disability will be discharged from the service forthwith by
the surgeon, who will report such discharges to the adjutant-general
of the State, and also to the adjutant of the regiment, noting par-
ticularly those cases where the disability was obvious at the time of
enlistment.
The muster-in rolls of each company will be made out by the
adjutant of the regiment from a list to be furnished by the adjutant-
general of the State, together with the articles of enlistment furnished
him by the recruiting officer, and will note upon it the names of all
persons discharged by the surgeon for permanent disability, desig-
nating particularly those cases where the disability was apparent at
the time of enlistment.
As soon as the organization of a regiment is completed it will be
carefully inspected by the mustering officer for the State, who will
see that at least the minimum number of each company is present.
No absentees, except sick in hospital, will be counted. He will also
compare the muster-in rolls, and if found correct will sign the roll,
certifying to the muster of each man a.t the date of his enlistment.
Mustering officers will report promptly to the Adjutant-General of
the Army the names of all recruiting lieutenants mustered into the
service by them, under conditional letters of appointment, together
with the regiments to which they belong.
II. Officers will be mustered into the service only on the authority
of the Governor of the State to which their regiments belong.
III. Until regiments are organized and their muster-rolls completed
they will be under the exclusive control of the Governors of the
States, and all requisitions for quartermaster, medical, and ordnance
stores, and contracts for subsistence, will, if approved by them, be
allowed, and not otherwise.
IV. Where it is desired by the Governors of States, the U. S.
officers of the Quartermaster, Medical, and Ordnance Departments
may turn over stores to the State authorities, to be issued by them in
accordance with the regulations, and accounted for to the proper
bureau of the War Department.
V. Persons traveling under the order of the Governor of a State on
business connected with the recruiting service will be allowed the
actual cost of transportation, to be paid by the mustering and dis-
bursing officer on presentation of the account, accompanied by proper
vouchers and the order under which the journey was performed.
By order of the Secretary of War:
L. THOMAS,
Adjutant General.
NEW HIAVEN, July 8, 1862.
Brig. Gen. C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Assistant Adjutant- General:
SIR : Your telegram is at hand requesting me to raise five regiments
of volunteers for the war. In reply I would say that I am bending
every effort to organize new regiments with more encouraging pros-
pects of success than I had a few days since.
I am, yours, very respectfully,
WM. A. BUCKINGHAM.211
