WASHINGTON, Oct 90. 1862
Hon. r. NJ STANTON Secretary OF WdT:
SIR In reply TO the several interrogations con.
tanned In your letter Of yesterday have to report
Mcclellan made by his s,s officers on the chief. Of ba
here that is for Qusrernses supplies by Chief
Quarter the Qiarternsster Generals for com msav
supplies by his Chief Comuissary the Conn ssary Gems
rs &C. No such acquisitions have been my knowledge
made upon the Secretary Of and the Genea
Chief
q On sever occasions Gen Magellan has elegrsphea 10
ore that his army dehc i1tertsn supplies An thea
.oegrsns were INN ediaey referred the hesds Of Bureau,
tia orders ,epo II ascertned that IN every IN.
sisnce the had been Immediately filled eIesnt
where the Onrtetmsster lera had been obliged TO send
from Phade ba certain articles OF clothing tent' &C.,
Thee has mol zen 30 far a. could ascertain any ne-lsct
delay IN any Department or Bureau In Issuing all a,pes
asked for by Gen Mcclellan or by ne o3en. Of hs staff
Delays have occasionally Occ4rtd ia forwarding supplies by
rail account Of the crowded condition OF the dePos
Of want Of but Whenever noed Of this, agents asvs
been sent the difficulty, under the excellent
superntendoBcs Of Gen Hanp think these delays
been los frequent and of shorter duration than is usual with
freight train. Any army OF the ze Of that under Gen. Ne.
Cesn will frequently be for without the suppss
for account ofncglect in making timely regnsOs
ius them TO the different brig adts aud regiments.
FROM al the Information can obtain, Of opinion ths.
the acquisitions from that army have been hed more prompt
IT, and the men, rule, have been better sup
piled than our armies operating IN the West; The later
have operated much greater Distances from the Of
supply and have had iir s's ices 10, uhporson. III
fne believe that armies in the world while en- eompsgs
have beeh more promptly better supplied than
g. Soon after the battle OF Antrtin Gen. McCleian was
urged give information Of his Intended movements in
old. that moved between the eneny aud "ahingson
