UNION AUTHORITIES.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington, D. C., August 25, 1862.
Governor YATES,
Springfield, Ill. :
You will please report all of your troops, as fast as they are ready
for the field, to the commander of the department, General Wright,
except the three regiments ordered to Saint Louis by General Halleck
and those in the field already sent to General Grant. All others are
subject to the orders of General Wright.
EDWIN M. STANTON,
Secretary of War.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., August 25, 1862-12.30 p. m.
(Received 3 p. m.)
General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
Enrollment lists from many of the counties which were due the 1st
instant are defective, and none have been returned from several
counties. I have just ordered a new enrollment of the entire State,
and therefore we may not be ready for a draft promptly on the 3d
proximo. I suggest no drafting would be necessary to enable us to
furnish the balance required of us for the old regiments. Volunteer
ing by companies with their own officers would be rapid, but slow
when raised in squads to fill old companies. " There will be but little
delay after the 4th.
RICHARD YATES,
Governor.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., August 25, 1862-10.45 p. m.
(Received 3 a. m. 26th.)
Hon. E. M. STANTON:
Capt. Geo. W. Hill, mustering and disbursing officer here, has 8,100
guns here. We want them to put into the hands of our troops who
are leaving the State. He says he wants authority to give them up.
Please do not let us be delayed on this account. We have over 50,000
men enrolled, and not to exceed 10,000 stand of good arms, the 8,100
inclusive. When and where am I to get the balance of arms required
for them ?
RICHD. YATES.
Governor.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., August 25, 1862-11 a. m.
(Received 2 p. m.)
General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
The enrollment for the draft is nearly completed. The commis-
sioners and their deputies meet on the 1st of September as boards in
the various counties to correct the rolls and determine exemptions.
The draft will be made on the 15th of September. It cannot be done
sooner and be made accurate and satisfactory. In view of the condi-
tion of public sentiment in Indiana and other Western States, it is of
the first importance that the draft be carefully and intelligently made.
O. P. MORTON,
Governor of Indiana.455
