MADISON, WIS., November 21, 1862.

Honorable EDWIN M. STANTON,

Secretary of War:

Can you not reply as to the disposal of prisoners referred to in dispatch of November 12? I am very anxious to be rid of them. Many were taken with arms in their hands. I am overwhelmed with applications for relief and discharge by men have been drafted. They claim aliegane, disability, overage, and other causes - in many cases just. Cannot your mustering officer discharge them, and furnish transportation from camps to their homes? Why cannot some commission attend to these cases? Will you instruct the chief mustering officer to pay the commissioner's bill for subsisting drafted men at county seat before starting for camp at rendezvous? No one seems authorized to pay these bills. I write fully to-day, but the reply by telegraph at first moment possible.

E. SALOMON,

Governor.
