UNION AUTHORITIES.

(Received 4.30 p. m.)
His Excellency ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
President of the United States :
Congress should not adjourn without providing by law, if it has the
power to do it, for filling up the volunteer regiments in the field and
those now organizing by a draft.
E. D. MORGAN.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 14, 1862.
Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.:
SIR: It is important that the State of Ohio should be promptly
supplied with arms for the new quota of troops now organizing. I
beg to call your attention to the fact that of the 80,000 small-arms
placed in the hands of Ohio infantry but two regiments have received
rifled muskets of Government fabrication. I desire that 20,000 stand
should be placed at my disposal at the earliest possible moment, and
I trust that, if not all, at least a fair proportion of them shall be of
the Springfield muskets. The arms should be forwarded to General
George B. Wright, quartermaster-general of Ohio.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DAVID TOD,
Governor.
