Richmond, July 2, 1861.

General CHARLES CLARK,

Corinth, Miss.:

SIR: In reply to your letter of the 22nd of June, addressed to the President and subsequently referred to this Department, the Secretary of War directs me to say that two regiments have been requested of Governor Pettus within the last days for duty in the Mississippi Valley; and, besides, 3,000 troops have been called for to go into camps of instruction. In one or the other of these levies the companies referred to may be embodied. It is not, however, the policy of the Government to accept troops for so brief a period as twelve months.

Respectfully,

A. T. BLEDSOE,

Chief of Bureau of War.
