UNION AUTHORITIES.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., July 26, 1862.
Brigadier-General SCHOFIELD,
Saint Louis, Mo.:
Information has reached the Department that your order directing
every able-bodied man in Missouri to enroll himself for military duty
has been construed by you to include telegraph operators and
employes. If this be so, you will please suspend the order as to this
class of persons. Their services in their present employment are
indispensable to the Government.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
ALBANY, July 26, 1862.
(Received 12 m.)
lion. E. M. STANTON:
Your dispatch respecting nine-months' men is received. All our
men enlisted for three years or the war. Applications for a less term
of service will not, in the present state of affairs, be entertained in
this State.
E. D. MORGAN,
Governor of New York.
BRATTLEBOROUGH, VT., July 26, 1862.
lion. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War:
Thank General Buckingham for telegram explanatory of short
enlistments in Pennsylvania. Have felt that it would be a grave
mistake should the Government decide to accept troops under recent
call for 300,000 any less than three years or the war. Enlistments
are progressing well in Vermont.
FREDK. HOLBROOK,
Governor.
U. S. COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE,
New Orleans, July 26, 1862.
Major-General BUTLER:
MY DEAR GENERAL: Yours of the 22d, reviewing my decision of
that date in the case of Messrs. S. II. Kennedy & Co., was not handed
me until late yesterday afternoon. As you consider the case finally
decided and as embraced by the rule stare decisis, it is not neces-
sary, as far as the case itself is concerned, that I should trouble you
or myself with a review of your review, but, as the principles involved
are of general importance and may be applicable to other cases, you
no doubt expect a reply. This is also required by the respect due to
myself, by what I have adjudged to be the rights of the particular
parties, and by the esteem in which I hold your individual judgment.
I shall endeavor to make the reply as brief as perspicuity will permit.
First, as to the parties. Here, as far as there was any evidence
before me, you are clearly in error in several, in your view, important
particulars.
