UNION AUTHORITIES. 481
To-morrow evening a regiment of three-years' men will leave. Col-
onels Biddle's and Wister's incomplete regiments will be ordered here
from Philadelphia on the 1st of September and completed. There
will then remain in Camp Curtin, including a few companies to arrive
from distant counties, companies to make six regiments, and they will
be at once made up. I expect to find in Philadelphia the following
regiments complete, or very nearly so: Colonels Tippin's, Collis',
Prevost's, Ellmaker's, and Heenan's. The incomplete regiments will
be those of Colonels Schreyber, Davis, Adams, and Johnson, and of
these I will probably make one.

Hon. E. M. STANTON:
The quota of Vermont for old regiments will be filled by Septem-
ber 1, but the men are so scattered that we cannot concentrate them
by that date. I desire authority that all of this quota who will enlist
prior to September 1 receive their bounty and premium so soon as I
can present them to the mustering officer, without reference to time,
which will be at the earliest moment possible, being overrun with
business in getting up at the same moment our quota of nine-months'
men. We shall evidently be able to furnish both the quota of three-
years' and nine-months' men without draft.
FREDERICK HOLBROOK,
Governor of Vermont.

Washington City, D. C., August 28, 1862.
His Excellency Governor SALOMON,
Madison, Wis.:
Telegram of yesterday received. You are in error in estimating your
quota of troops sent to the field before July 2. Instead of a surplus
of 5,000 it was but about 600, and has been disregarded in all esti-
mates. Disregard for the present any draft for filling old regiments.
That is an affair distinct and separate from present proceedings,
which are simply to fill your quota of volunteers and militia, amount-
ing together to 23,808. From this number subtract the number of
volunteers for three years mustered in from July 2 to September 1
for old and new regiments, and the remainder is the number to be
drafted.
C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Brigadier-General and Assistant Adjutant-General.
MADISON, WIS., August 28, 1862-4.10 p. m.
(Received 7.45 p. m.)
General C. P. BUCKINGHAM:
Your dispatch received. There must be a very serious mistake in
your figures relative to our quota. If 11,904 is our quota of 300,000,
then our quota of the original 500,000 was 19,840. The muster-rolls
