and new regiments mustered in from July 2 to September 1I 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 draft.

Washington City, August 26, 1862.
His Excellency Governor ToD,
Columbus, Ohio:
Your quota of 300,000 drafted men is 36,858. 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.

General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
Lieutenant-Colonel Grier, chief of mustering, and Capt. A. B. Dod,
mustering officer, unite in saying that under the order of the Presi-
dent, dated August 14, 1862, relating to recruiting, there is no
authority to muster either officers or soldiers into the service in new
organizations of volunteers after the 22d instant, and they therefore
decline any for the mustering in such cases. This rule will stop the
work in nearly all of our regiments, as we have had only a small sup-
ply of mustering officers, and they came late. Many of the field and
staffs of the first batch of new regiments are yet to be appointed, and
out of caution only a few officers were appointed for the last batch.
Governor asks authority to make appointments as far as he may find
necessary to organize and officer the men enlisted within the order,
and a direction that all such officers and men be mustered as within
the order. Please reply by telegram.

Adjutant-General of Ohio.

Hon. E. M. STANTON:
Hon. George E. Pugh proposes to raise an infantry regiment in
Hamilton County in ten days. I deem it important to enlist him and
his friends in the war, and therefore hope you will give me authority
to accept it.
DAVID TOD,
Governor.468
