Any written message may be sent to him through these Headquarters. Upon this order being read to him, the said Keller requested that so much of it as associated him with that woman might be recalled, which request was, therefore, reduced to writing by him, as follows: New-Orleans, June 30th, 1862.

r. He also recommended the appointment of an Assistant Secretary of War, and an increase of the clerical force of his department. Mr. Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, whose management of the financial affairs of the country during a greater portion of the period of the war was considered eminently wise and efficient, asked for two hundred and forty millions of dollars for war purposes, and eighty millions of dollars to meet the ordinary demands for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June, 1862.

He fell heavily upon McCall, whose force (Pennsylvania Reserves), when he reached the Pamunkey, was ten thousand, but had been reduced by sickness, fatigue, and fighting, to six thousand.
