ssTo Gou. Seymour:
THE President directs me to return his
thanks, with those OF the department, for
your prompt response. A strong move

phia would be very encouraging move
ment, and do great good in giving strength
in the State. The call had to be for six
months, unless sooner discharged, in order
to comply with the law. 1t is not likely
that more than thirty days. service-per-
haps not so long-would be required. Can
you forward your city regiments speedily
