His Excellency CHARLES S. OLDEN,
Governor of New Jersey:
SIR: Your letter of July 3, 1862, to the President, making certain
suggestions in reference to raising volunteers, has been referred to
this Department. The month's pay in advance could no doubt be
paid at the time of enlistment with great advantage to the recruiting
service in many cases, but the law authorizing it requires it to be
paid when the company is mustered into the service of the United
States, leaving no discretion with the Department as to the time of
payment. Your other suggestions will be carefully considered by the
Department in its action on the subjects to which they refer.

Hon. REVERDY JOHNSON:
SIR: In reply to your note stating the further claims of the Belgian
consul for articles taken from him, I reply it is the first I have heard
of such claims. Several gentlemen called for their tin trinkets and I
ordered them to be given up. I will have an immediate investigation
of this matter made, and everything that is private property will of

I observe that the consul does not make claim for a box of dies for
making bank-note plates and a set of plates for printing Confederate
States Treasury notes, taken from his shop in conjunction with the
specie and other property. Why not ?
Very respectfully, yours,
BENJ. F. BUTLER.
