HEADQUARTERS FOR FORWARDING TROOPS, &C.,
New York, October 2, 1862.
Hon. E. M. STANTON,
Secretary of War, Washington:
SIR: The movement of troops from this State seems quite at a
standstill at the present moment. Besides the Second Metropolitan
Regiment, referred to yesterday as about ready to start, there is
nothing ready to move. A regiment organized in Sullivan County
was to have been paid off yesterday, but a controversy sprung up
between a colonel in expectancy and one who had received the appoipt-
ment, producing almost a state of mutiny, and the regiment will be
ordered here, doubtless, by Governor Morgan to receive their pay and
then move on to Washington. A regiment is about ready to leave
camp at Delhi, and a regiment from New England is expected here
to-morrow en route for Washington. Some recruits have gone from
here to-day.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. K. STRONG,
Brigadier-General of Volunteers.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., October 8, 1862.
Adjt. Gen. A. C. FULLER,
Springfield, Ill.:
All three-years' troops specially authorized by this Department are
entitled to advance pay and bounty, unless the contrary is expressed
in the order.
By order of the Secretary of War:
C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Brigadier- General and Assistant Adjutant- General.
