I avail myself of this opportunity to renew the request heretofore made,that the several military volunteer organizations, formed within the past few days, be maintained,meeting for drill as often as once a week at least. I have further to request, that the command-ers of said squads or companies report by letter to the Adjutant-General, the strength of theirrespective commands. DAVID TOD, Governor. CoLUMBtrs, September 13, 1862. To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secy. of War, Washington, D. C. : The minute-men or Squirrel Hunters responded gloriously to the call for the defense of Cincinnati. Thousands reached the city, and thousands more were en route for it. The enemy having retreated, all have been ordered back. This uprising of the people is the cause of the retreat. You should acknowledge publicly this gallant conduct. Please order Quartermaster Burr to pay all transportation bills, upon my approval. ^ DAVID TOD, Governor.

The most commercialof people, you submitted to a total suspension of business, and without a murmur adopted myI^rinciple: Citizens for labor, soldiers for battle. In coming time
