UNION AUTHORITIES.
ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
July 25, 1862.
His Excellency the GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA,
Wheeling, Va. :
The two regiments are independent of recruits for old regiments.
Fill up old regiments in addition.
L. THOMAS,
Adjutant- General.
CHICAGO, July 26, 1862-8.45 a. m.
(Received 10 a. m.)
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War :
The Board of Trade have raised a bounty fund of $30,000, and have
recruited a full battery of artillery and are rapidly filling up a regi-
ment. I deem it of great importance that the battery be promptly
accepted. Answer for great war meeting to be held to-day.
ISAAC N. ARNOLD,
Member of Congress.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., July 26, 1862-3.30 p. m.
IIon. ISAAC N. ARNOLD,
Chicago, Ill.:
Your telegram received. The patriotic liberality of your Board of
Trade is highly honorable to them and gratifying to this Department.
The battery of artillery will be accepted.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., July 26, 1862-3.30 p. m.
Governor MORTON,
Indianapolis:
Governor Curtin's call for nine and twelve months' men was not
authorized by the Department, and is sanctioned only from the neces-
sity occasioned by his premature action, and efforts are being made to
correct it in Pennsylvania, which, I think, will succeed.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., July 26, 1862.
Hon. P. H. WATSON:
I am painfully surprised by the spirit of your two dispatches
received this morning. From the doubts and hesitation expressed
by your inquiries I should infer that the requisitions made in behalf
of the State are regarded in the light of favors, to be strictly scru-
tinized, and granted, if at all, with hesitation. I cannot organize
artillery companies without being able to assure them they will get
guns, nor can they drill without guns.
O. P. MORTON,
Governor of Indiana.253
