Governor JOHN A. ANDREW,

I am authorized by the President to say, in reply to your telegram, the order for the militia and three-months’ men was made by the President himself upon deliberate consultation with the Secretary of War and other members of his Cabinet and his military advisers. You are requested not to make any public use of this.
