to repeated requests from all sections of
the country for information as to where

which are being mustered into the United
States service, are to be sent, Secretary

III such a way as to be availa bic for three
distinct purposes.

mustered in and found ready for service
are to be sent to Chckamauga to be
licked into shape" and thence sent to

second division of regiments go to Wash
lngton, where they are to form Il grand
reserve, ready to reinforce the Cuban

detenses, or for other purposes.
