titled to all the rights and privileges Of volunteers,
until We are reedy to draft, am confident we could

Secretary Of War, Washington, D. D.: Orders and
arrangem ents for the draft received from the
rolIment and viii have it completed as
possible will be at least the 10th of September
terpnr in this state has been DELAYED by the har-
vest but think shall fill first call by the
18th. The spirit Of volunteering to avoid draft is
very active. I am constantly besieged by letters
and dispatches from towns to know whether if they
furnish their quota of volunteers for both calls
thew will be exempt from draft. The plan of only
receiving volunteers for old regiments after the
18th inst will work badly, if the localities net
to be credited with those volunteers; for all vcun
being taken will ofcourse the chances
of draft in the localities from which they 60 1t is
very desirable that We should be allowed to receive
volunteers, and organize regiments, down to the |
when the draft begins. If so, it Will greatly
accelerate the filing of quota. If you prefer,
be received; fix 10th septic mber, il pos
ible, 3lst of August, if you cannot take late
day. To cut oil volunteering by the 18th of Au- |
gust will check the split among the loyal people |
of this State, who thoroughly aroused to the |
determination to I'LL all by volunteering, if they
be allowed to do so, by giving them time |
enough; do not put a damper the present en- |
thusiasm Of our people. If Government viii allow
this, will assign enough of the volunteers to fill
the old egiments from this State; must have the
authority asked for. To cut off volunteering in
this State, where it takes days to reach the

people so feel it.
