Third。 The despatch from Colonel Ingalls impresses me with the
conviction that the movement was made by General McClellan to
concentrate on Richmond； and was successful to the latest point of
which we have any information。
Fourth。 Mr。 Fulton says that on Friday night； between twelve and one
o'clock； General McClellan telegraphed Commodore Goldsborough that
the result of the movement was satisfactory to him。
Fifth。 From these and the facts stated by the President； my
inference is that General McClellan will probably be in Richmond
within two days。
EDWIN M。 STANTON； Secretary of War。
＇Unfortunately McClellan did not do any of the things he was ordered；
and that it was very likely possible to do。 It is still some
mystery what he was doing all these days other than hiding in the
woods and staying out of communication so he would not receive any
more uncomfortable orders。 This was another place where the North
was close to wining the war and did not。 D。W。＇
TELEGRAM TO SECRETARY SEWARD。
WAR DEPARTMENT； June 30； 1862。
HON。 WM。 H。 SEWARD； New York：
We are yet without communication with General McClellan； and this
absence of news is our point of anxiety。 Up to the latest point to
which we are posted he effected everything in such exact accordance
with his plan； contingently announced to us before the battle began；
that we feel justified to hope that he has not failed since。 He had
a severe engagement in getting the part of his army on this side of
the Chickahominy over to the other side； in which the enemy lost
certainly as much as we did。 We are not dissatisfied with this； only
that the loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends。
The enemy cannot come below White House； certainly is not there now；
and probably has abandoned the whole line。 Dix's pickets are at New
Kent Court…House。

CALL FOR TROOPS。
NEW YORK； June 30； 1862。
TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE SEVERAL STATES：
The capture of New Orleans； Norfolk； and Corinth by the national
forces has enabled the insurgents to concentrate a large force at and
about Richmond； which place we must take with the least possible
delay； in fact； there will soon be no formidable insurgent force
except at Richmond。 With so large an army there； the enemy can
threaten us on the Potomac and elsewhere。 Until we have
re…established the national authority； all these places must be held；
and we must keep a respectable force in front of WASHINGTON。 But
this； from the diminished strength of our army by sickness and
casualties； renders an addition to it necessary in order to close the
struggle which has been prosecuted for the last three months with
energy and success。 Rather than hazard the misapprehension of our
military condition and of groundless alarm by a call for troops by
proclamation； I have deemed it best to address you in this form。 To
accomplish the object stated we require without delay 150；000 men；
including those recently called for by the Secretary of War。 Thus
reinforced our gallant army will be enabled to realize the hopes and
expectations of the government and the people。
ABRAHAM LINCOLN。
TELEGRAM TO GENERAL J。 A。 DIX。
WAR DEPARTMENT； WASHINGTON CITY； June 30； 1862。
MAJOR…GENERAL Dix； Fort Monroe：
Is it not probable that the enemy has abandoned the line between
White House and McClellan's rear？ He could have but little object to
maintain it； and nothing to subsist upon。 Would not Stoneman better
move up and see about it？ I think a telegraphic communication can at
once be opened to White House from Williamsburg。 The wires must be
up still。

TELEGRAMS TO GENERAL H。 W。 HALLECK。
WAR DEPARTMENT； JUNE 30； 1862。 3 P。 M。
MAJOR…GENERAL HALLECK； Corinth：
Your telegram of this date just received。 The Chattanooga expedition
must not on any account be given up。 The President regards that and
the movement against East Tennessee as one of the most important
movements of the war； and its occupation nearly as important as the
capture of Richmond。 He is not pleased with the tardiness of the
movement toward Chattanooga； and directs that no force be sent here
if you cannot do it without breaking up the operations against that
point and East Tennessee。 Infantry only are needed； our cavalry and
artillery are strong enough。 The first reports from Richmond were
more discouraging than the truth warranted。 If the advantage is not
on our side； it is balanced。 General McClellan has moved his whole
force on the line of the James River； and is supported there by our
gunboats； but he must be largely strengthened before advancing； and
hence the call on you； which I am glad you answered so promptly。 Let
me know to what point on the river you will send your forces； so as
to provide immediately for transportation。
EDWIN M。 STANTON；
Secretary of War。
WASHINGTON； D。C。； June 30； 1862。
MAJOR…GENERAL HALLECK； Corinth； Mississippi：
Would be very glad of 25；000 infantry； no artillery or cavalry； but
please do not send a man if it endangers any place you deem important
to hold； or if it forces you to give up or weaken or delay the
expedition against Chattanooga。 To take and hold the railroad at or
east of Cleveland； in East Tennessee； I think fully as important as
the taking and holding of Richmond。

CALL FOR 300；000 VOLUNTEERS； JULY 1； 1862。
June 28； 1861。
The undersigned； governors of States of the Union； impressed with the
belief that the citizens of the States which they respectively
represent are of one accord in the hearty desire that the recent
successes of the Federal arms may be followed up by measures which
must insure the speedy restoration of the Union； and believing that；
in view of the present state of the important military movements now
in progress； and the reduced condition of our effective forces in the
field； resulting from the usual and unavoidable casualties in the
service； the time has arrived for prompt and vigorous measures to be
adopted by the people in support of the great interests committed to
your charge； respectfully request； if it meets with your entire
approval； that you at once call upon the several States for such
number of men as may be required to fill up all military
organizations now in the field； and add to the armies heretofore
organized such additional number of men as may； in your judgment； be
necessary to garrison and hold all the numerous cities and military
positions that have been captured by our armies； and to speedily
crush the rebellion that still exists in several of the Southern
States； thus practically restoring to the civilized world our great
and good government。 All believe that the decisive moment is near at
hand； and to that end the people of the United States are desirous to
aid promptly in furnishing all reinforcements that you may deem
needful to sustain our government。

EXECUTIVE MANSION； WASHINGTON；
July 1； 1862
GENTLEMEN：Fully concurring in the wisdom of the views expressed to
me in so patriotic a manner by you； in the communication of the
twenty…eighth day of June； I have decided to call into the service an
additional force of 300；000 men。 I suggest and recommend that the
troops should be chiefly of infantry。 The quota of your State would
be ______ 。 I trust that they may be enrolled without delay； so as
to bring this unnecessary and injurious civil war to a speedy and
satisfactory conclusion。 An order fixing the quotas of the
respective States will be issued by the War Department to…morrow。
