they seem TO be unwilling TO communicate with any
fulness 4, precision 10 the pubiic From CONVEX
sation with members, however. we have CLEANED
this much: They laid before Mr. Li-coln the Teso-
lu(ions with respect TO tie deSirableness Of more
thorough policy in the conduct of the war which
YOU have heretofore published, and they urged the
issuance of orders ON the War Department that
shonld tend TO quicAeu recrui.ing for the old reg
ments
In the course of conversation on the latter topic,
the President said thai 900 men enlisted in the
old regiments would he woitb more than 30O,Ooo in
new organizations, aud he sent note TO the War
Department requesting the Secretary TO issue the
orders asked for 10y the Committee. The President
said that arrangements for the creation aud CONTINUE
Of harmonious relations between the recruiting
officers OF the General Government and the State
sufi ortes would be mace, and intimaiedss decidedly
his opinion that il would not be necessary to resort
to drafting in order to raise the number OF men
requie ed under the call.
The Committee, ON presenting the Presidents
note TO Secretary Stanton and conierring with him
and Gen. Haileck, came to the co ciusion that no
special action in addition to what mad been taken on
the part of the State would lie necessary to secure
the volunteers required. a. regards the other sub
iec.s which were discussed hut much at length
as the above topic at the Interview there is reason
TO believe that the Committee found the President
not entirely of tie condition Of public senti-
ment, and disposed suggest objections - the enan
cpa,ion policy which they urged.

the case with Mr.. Lincoln for the purpose Of exc-
