WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., December 2, 1862.

I would be glad to have another artillery battery, but to be disposed
of either to Banks or elsewhere as the service might require.

WAR DEPARTMENT,
Washington City, D. C., December 2, 1862.
His Excellency Governor SALOMON,
Madison, Wis.:
Drafted men may volunteer for nine months into old regiments,
but cannot have advance pay and bounty. The mustering officer
has been directed to muster by companies, so that an officer can
receipt for and distribute clothing to the men.
By order of the Secretary of War:
C. P. BUCKINGHAM,
Brigadier- General and Assistant Adjutant- General.
GENERAL ORDERS, WAR )DEPT., ADJT. GENERAL'S OFFICE,
No. 198. Washington, December 3, 1862.
I. Mustering and disbursing officers are prohibited from paying
any accounts for expenses incurred in collecting, drilling, and organ-
izing volunteers prior to July 1, 1862, unless such accounts shall have
been audited and ordered to be paid by the War Department.
II. The intent of paragraph II, of General Orders, No. 162, current
series, has, in some instances, been misunderstood. It is not intended
to forbid the payment of bounty, premium, and advance pay to
recruits for the old volunteer regiments, viz, those organized prior to
July 1, 1862, or to forbid the payment of bounty, premium, or advance
pay to a recruit, volunteer, or citizen who may enlist in the Regular
Army, unless said recruit has received said payment before, the object
being to avoid paying the same individual twice.
By order of the Secretary of War:
E. D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
NEW YORK, December 3, 1862.
(Received 4.25 p. in.)
Maj. Gen. H. W. HALLECK,
