RECRUITING SERVICE

Congress have now before them The
means OF filling the ranks of the army I,
is supposed that the bounty will be increas-
ed from 10 to S40-(the pay per month has
been already raised from to Sand the
premium TO the recruiting officer from 8 Tn
D. we speak with submission when we
say that the last ought perhaps to be raised
to or 10; as in so tninly settled country
as ours, where the officer has to go ahnut
in large compass OH his own cost, a re-
crult can scarcely average less to the off =
Ger than that sum. We beg leave To ca
too that twelve month seems to be too short
a time for which to enlist the 20. ODO corns .
IL months or years would answer better
Whlie matters are undergoing a new Or
ganization, and ste .'s are taking for a new
ana more vigorous campaign, it may be
proper for friend of the Service to point ont
some things in the routine of the Dresrpt
plan, which tend TO retard thai SERVICE
In some places the recruiting is almost at q
stand the low bounty is in some measure
the cause--but this is not ALIVE state
facts, which nothing but sense of duty.
should draw from us.
1st. Few OF the recruiting officers in this
state have zvfnter Clothes for their men
Some have coats none in these parts have
woollen pantaloons. WHAT the effect thai
the men are in general very thmly clad, g,
.heii ohiCcfS nate 10 parade them, beCause
1t hurts, rather helps the service.
"a. he troops cannot regularly get their
nay and the second half of their bountv.-
The rule has been shat 10 recruit shall get
his nay, much less the whole bounty, unit
he has passed INSPECTION. Now there has
been no hid-Ofhcer in these parts to ms
pect for several months. We know OF
troops who have not received their nav
since the 3oth of June ; some, we believe
| for longer. term.
Sd. The contingent fund, that is the fund
tor fuel and other things, is not always in
the'hands of the officer?
What is the effect of these things? The
service is damped. The recruit, himse!
Ill clad and ill paid, rarely attempts tc
persuade his acquaintance to join him anC
| the army.
Much, to be sure, 3 to be said by way Of
eXtenuation-as, that fnerhe,ience in the

evils. But they must be redrcssed. ant
