Governor TOD,
Columbus, Ohio:
It appears that individuals have in different States expended money
in raising unauthorized batteries of artillery, and the Department, on
the recommendation of the General-in-Chief, has refused to receive
them. But in view of the hardship and disappointment thus occa-
sioned the Department has concluded to waive the objection and
receive the batteries that have been raised. I will therefore accept
from Ohio not to exceed six batteries of light artillery.' The cannon
and equipments to be furnished on proper requisition from the U. S.
arsenal at Pittsburg. In this number is to be included the battery
raised at Dayton.

Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War :
I am very much embarrassed as to the disposition of our new levies.
Our five regiments under first call are ordered into camp for Monday
next. For this 5,000 men there are but 3,000 blankets provided and
no shirts. Besides the above we have at least six or seven regiments
full and ready for camp as soon as the temporary barracks are pre-
pared; but there are no blankets or clothing of any kind, nor any
quartermaster's stores whatever, for these troops. What shall we do
with these troops? Are you able to furnish us with blankets, and
when?. Please advise me as fully as possible immediately. I have
written and telegraphed Quartermaster-General Meigs relative to
appointment of N. B. Vandyke U. S. quartermaster. A new appointee
from civil life has arrived here, entirely unacquainted with the busi-
ness, and thus, so far from aiding, really embarrasses us. Please
refer to my communication to him on this subject and reply as soon
as possible.
