UNION AUTHORITIES.
upon requisition of our State authorities, and my word for it we will
not abuse the authority, and we will rapidly fill up our levies.
J. F. ROBINSON,
Governor of Kentucky.
HEADQUARTERS,
Louisville, August 26, 1862-5 p. nm.
Hon. E. M. STANTON:
I am much in want of cavalry to capture or' break up rebel bands
forming throughout-the State, and detachments from some of the not
fully organized regiments are now employed in that way and doing
good service. I believe General Ripley authorizes issues of arms,
horse equipments, &c., only after troops are mustered into service.
This works badly, as we can't arm and equip them till they are full.
Would it not be proper to authorize the ordnance officer and quarter-
master to issue supplies on the requisition of the State authorities to
the extent of the force to be raised in Kentucky without waiting for
their muster or any special approval from Ordnance Department ? I
earnestly recommend such authority. The rebels are getting recruits
rapidly throughout the State and it can be stopped by cavalry parties
only.
II. G. WRIGHT,
Major-General, Commanding.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., August 26, 1862.
His Excellency Governor WASHBURN,
Augusta, Me.:
Your quota of 300,000 drafted men is 9,609. The number of vol-
unteers called for July 2 being the same, if your volunteers for old
and new regiments mustered in from July 2 to September 1 exceed
this number, the excess may be deducted from the number drafted.
If you cannot make the draft on the 3d day of September, make it as
soon thereafter as possible, yourself taking the responsibility of
extending the time.
By order of the Secretary of War:
C. P. BUCKINGHIAM,
Brigadier- General and Assistant Adjutant- General.

yourself taking the responsibility of extending the time.
