WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., July 11, 1862.
His Excellency ISRAEL WASHBURN,
Governor of Maine, Augusta, Me.:
SIR: In reply to your note of the 8th instant,* through Senator Mor-
rill, inclosing copies of proclamation and orders issued in aid of new
call for troops, I am directed to say that with two slight exceptions
the statements made in the order are correct. The premium of $2
will be due to the person bringing in the recruit. With his consent
that amount may be paid to the soldier, but his receipt will be neces-
sary as a voucher for the disbursing officer. The $25 will be paid as
soon as a complete company is mustered into the service, without
waiting for the mustering of the regiment. 'You will have received
copies of General Orders, No. 75, which authorizes you to adopt, if
you see proper, a plan of enlistment which it is thought will be more
efficient and expeditious, as well as more systematic, in raising volun-
teer regiments. Blank articles of enlistment will be supplied on
application to the superintendent of the recruiting service in your
State, or to the Adjutant-General of the Army. The militia cannot
be received at present. If, however, it should be found necessary to
call out the militia due notice will be given. The Department recog-
nizes with pleasure your earnest and effective co-operation in sustain-
ing the Government and providing for the wants of the service.
By order of the Secretary of War:
C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Brigadier- General and Assistant Adjutant- General.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 11, 1862.

Hon. E. M. STANTON:
For God's sake, stop the wrangling between the friends of McClel-
lan and yourself in Congress. I ask this as the friend of both.

IIon. WILLIAM H. SEWARD,

SIR: I have the honor to inclose statement from Mr. Archibald Mc-
Laurin in relation to the facts contained in the letters addressed to
him, which I omitted to give by a previous mail.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
