General P. C. BUCKINGHAM:
Will you not see the Secretary and have an order made to muster in volunteers in lieu of drafted men by companies? See my dispatch to General Thomas yesterday. I assure you it is very important to the public service, as it will expedite filling the quota and relieve us from much trouble and dissatisfaction. We must treat the draft delicately in this State.
