it. I would forward to you the very numerous applications which I
have received asking me to do something for the restoration of the
men who are from this State to the service, in the name of the State.
I will not, however, burden you with the reading of those papers.
They are very numerous and strongly express the dissatisfaction of
the writers. I would ask that the companies mustered in Missouri be
turned over to the service in a Missouri regiment either now in the
field or a new regiment, as you may think proper. There are regi-
ments from Missouri very much reduced now near the location of this,
whose ranks would be filled up by turning these companies over to
them. I think, sir, you will find in the mode in which this regiment
was originally formed, by agreement, a sufficient reason for restoring
these Missouri companies to the service as Missouri troops.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
H. R. GAMBLE,
Governor of Missouri.

Please forward your regiments immediately to Washington.

Governor TOD,
Columbus, Ohio :
There will be no objection to receiving the regiment proposed to be
raised in Hamilton County if raised under your authority, but no
advanced pay or bounty can be allowed, because that having been
stopped in all the other States except for recruits in old regiments, no
preference or exception can be justly made. Numerous applications
from different States to continue the pay and bounty for the purpose
of raising or filling up new regiments have been denied, and it would
be a breach of good faith to do it in one case and refuse it in all others,
and would subject the Government to deserved reproach.

Secretary of War.

General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
I have extended time until 15th of September to make draft. It is
a large work in this State, but we can do it then. The arms ordered
on Saturday have not arrived, and our regiments are ready and wait-
ing on them. After the positive refusal of the Secretary, on my
request, to give time, the exceptions made to some regiments are
causing much trouble and force me to explain, which I will do and
refer them all to Washington. Please say to the Secretary that the
divisions asked for in Philadelphia can be made better by a prudent
man than by me, and the subordinates could be better selected in the475
