Some differences OF opinion exist among
the war department officials as to the
precise steps which shall be taken to re-
cruit fer the volunteer army, called into
service by the president Although the
telegrams sent by the department to the
governors of the various States were en-
tirsly those of inquiry, the inference is
drawn that the governors are given GER
tain prerogatives in the work OF raising
the volunteer army. This IL combatted
by some Of the law officers OF the war
department, who hold that the act us
passed does not admit OF such interpreted
ton.
Major j. n. Morrison, assistant to the
judge advocate Of the army and high au-
thority on military law. expressed his
views on this subject, which, however, he
said ware entirely unofficial and personal.

The only uncertainty about this war that

serious concern is the possible action of
