Washington City, D. C., August 19, 1862.
THOMAS A. SCOTT, Esq.,
Philadelphia:
The urgent exigency requires that all the railroad power and brains
should be devoted exclusively for the transportation of troops this
week. Will you be so good as to give it your attention ?
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
HARTFORD, CONN., August 19, 1862.
SECRETARY OF WAR:
General Buckingham's dispatch reached me at Norwich at 11 o'clock
last evening. The five regiments Connecticut volunteers full, and
they will be all mustered in this week. The Eighteenth Regiment
will leave Norwich on Thursday night, and the others will follow as
fast as transportation can be obtained. Governor Buckingham
insists that the U. S. bounty shall be paid before the regiments leave.
If the money can be remitted in New York checks this week I can
get money for the mustering officer and go on paying to-morrow. The
State, Government, and town bounties are creating unavoidable delay
in getting off the regiments.

Push on your troops without losing a day. Hours are precious.

Brig. Gen. C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
I am organizing eight regiments for three years under the Presi-
dent's last call. Four have above the minimum and will' have maxi-
mum in from one to three days. It requires 600 men to fill the other,
which can probably be done in a week. No regiments have left.
