THOMAS M. VINCENT,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT-GENERAL" OFFICE,
June 30, 1863.
PROVOST-MARSHAL-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, D. C., June 30, 1863-11.10 p. m.
Hon OLIVER P. MORTON,
Governor, Indianapolis, Ind.:
The ruling of the War Department is and has been from the bringing, according to my understanding, that six-months" men should not be exempt from draft, but if drafted should be credited with the time they may have served in the six-months" organizations. To exempt them for six months would practically amount to entire exemption, and thus made six-months" volunteer service in some States equivalent to three-years" service under the draft in others. This would seriously interfere with enforcing the draft, and would be unjust.

Provost-Marshal-General.
