His Excellency Governor SALOMON,

Madison, Wis.:

Drafted men may furnish substitutes within ten days after muster, provided there is no additional expense to the Government. They may volunteer into old regiments within ten days after muster, but their descriptive lists and clothing accounts must be transferred with them, so as to relieve their company commander from all responsibility. The enlistment papers will be the same as if they had not been drafted.
