Honorable E. M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

Can you give me authority to raise regiments for one year unless sooner discharged? The drafted men are enlisting rapidly for three years or during the war. There will, however, be a few thousand left that would go into service for one year if permitted to form new regiments.

DAVID TOD,

Governor.

Major-General HALLECK:

The time fixed for our cavalry is the 20th instant. We have two regiments organized here-the Anderson Cavalry at Carlisle, and one regiment at Pittsburg. I expect the third regiment to be ready here by the 20th. We want arms and horses for them here; horses at Carlisle and arms and horses at Pittsburg. I have asked for Captain J. I. Gregg, of the Fourth [Sixth] U. s. Cavalry, to command a regiment here. Please have him detailed at once. I will ask for two or three more officers in service for colonel.
