"WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept IA, "a.

"Lieutenant General Gract telc-
graphs this Department. in respect
to the draft as follows:
"CIrY POINT, $50 A. H., Sept. 13.
Hon. e. N. Ssantos, Sc'y of Var:
"We ought to have the whole
number of men called for by the
President in the shortest possible
time:
Prompt action in filing our
armies will have more effect upon
the enemy than victory over
them. They profess to believe,
and make their men believe, there
10 such a party North in favor Of
recognizing Southern indcpend-
ence that the draft cannot be en-
forced. Let them be undeceived.
Deserters come into our lines
daily who tell us that the men are
nearly universally tired of the war,
and that desertion would be much
more frequent, but they believe
reace will be negotiated after the
fall election. The enforcement of
the draft, and prompt filing up of
our armies, will save the shedding
Of blood to an immense degree.
"U. S. GRANT"
The following telegram has been
received from Major General Sher-
man on the same subject:
ATLANTA, GA, 6:30 P. M, Sept, l3.
Hon. E. II. Stas.on, Sec'y of War:
am glad to learn that the draft
will be enforced. First, we want
men; second, they como as pri-
Yates to fill up our old and tired
regiments with their experienced
officers already on hand; and third,
because the enforcement of the
law will manifest power residing
in our government equal to the
occasion. Our government,though
a Democracy, should in time OF
trouble be able to WELD the power
of o great nation. All well.
w. T. SHERMAN, Major Gen.
