UNION AUTHORITIES.
in motion I have to request that you issue an order exempting all
State and county officers from draft. I further advise that there is
great danger of seriously interfering with railroad transportation
unless further exemptions are made of those employed in that service,
and would recommend that you instruct all the commissioners to
exempt from draft such employes of railroads as the several presi-
dents thereof may state, upon honor, are indispensably necessary to
the working of their roads.
DAVID TOD,
Governor.

Washington City, D. C., August 25, 1862.
Governor TOD,
Columbus, Ohio :
An order of exemption of State and county officers, so far as can be
properly done, will be issued before the draft. The question as to
railroad employes has been fully considered in conference with some
of the principal railroad men, and it is thought better not to make an
exemption from draft, but to relieve from duty such indispensable
employes as may happen to be drafted. On reflection I think you
will agree that this is the better course.

Secretary of War.

Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.:
As the military prisoners are about leaving Camp Chase, I advise
that you direct me to disband the Eighty-fifth and Eighty-eighth
Regiments State Guards, retaining three companies only, to guard
political prisoners; and in the same order authorize me to recruit one
regiment from them for general service for three years, giving till the
1st of September to do so.

Governor.

Adjutant-General HILL,
Columbus, Ohio :
The three-months' regiments cannot be relieved at the present
moment.
