General BUCKINGHAM,

Secretary of War.

BOSTON, July 2, 1862-11 a.m.

Hon. E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

I cordially respond to the President's call for troops. The bounty of $25 should be paid as fast a company (not a regiment) is mustered in. Then the first ten companies be massed into a regiment,and so on. No effort ever has been,nor ever will be, spared to meet or anticipate any wish expressed by your Department.

Always, faithfully,

JOHN A. ANDREW.

ALBANY, N. Y., July 2, 1862.

The PRESIDENT:

Is the call for 300,000 or for 200,000 volunteers? It appears in all the New York papers for 300,000.

E. D. MORGAN,

Governor of New York.
