UNION AUTHORITIES.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., August 1, 1862-7.15 p. m.
(Received 9.10 p. m.)
Hon. EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War :
By direction of his Excellency Governor Yates I have the honor to
request that authority be given to him to resort to drafting whenever
it may appear to him necessary or expedient.
ALLEN C. FULLER,
Adjutant- General.
WASHINGTON, D. C., August 1, 1862-9.35 p. m.
General N. B. BAKER,
Clinton, Iowa:
I am authorized by the Secretary of War to say that he never
authorized the raising of the Eighteenth Regiment for Annapolis; that
was only spoken of at the time as the probable place of rendezvous.
Things have changed since then, and the regiment is wanted else-
where. It was raised to fight the rebels. They are not at Annapolis.
It is wanted at Chattanooga, and if armed and equipped will proceed
to Nashville, Tenn., and report to General Buell.
H. W. HALLECK,
Major- General, Commanding.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., August 1, 1862.
His Excellency Governor BRADFORD,
Annapolis, Md.:
The President directs that you proceed with all convenient diligence
to cause the militia of the State of Maryland to be enrolled, and make
return thereof to this Department.
Yours, truly,
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, August 1, 1862.
General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
Recruiting for the new regiments is progressing finely, but for the
want of recruiting officers can do but little for the old regiments. The
colonels of the several regiments should either send some recruiting
(non-commissioned) officers, with the assurance that I would commis-
sion them on their raising the usual number of men, or request me to
appoint men at home. Allow me to call your attention to my dispatch
of May 23 upon this subject.
DAVID TOD,
Governor.
