Lieutenant General Grant telegraphs the
War Department in respect to the draft as
follows:
Cl7Y PoINr, Sept. l3.. 1880 A. MO
Honorable Edwin NJ. Stanton, Secretary OF
War: We ought to have the whole number
of men called by the President in the short
est possible time, Prompt action in filling
up our armies will have more effect upon
the enemy than victory over them. They
profess to believe there is such party 10
the North 10 favor Of recognizing the South
ern Coofederacy that the draft cannot be
enforced. Let them be undeeeived.
Deserters come into our lines daily, who
tells as that the men are nearly universally
tired of the war, and that dcsertions would
be more frequent but they believe peace
will be negotiated after the fall election.
The enforcement of the draft and the prompt
filing up of our armies will save tie she'd
