State Rsoruitins Omcers-New ReEula'


The State Government of Ohio has ap-
pointed in each Congressional District Eve
citizens to give few weeks time to superin-
tend the recruiting service. They may sub
divide the district and have local committees,
the names of which are to be reported inn
mediately TO the Governor.
The ranks should at once be filled with re-
cruits.
All candidates for commission must come
with recommendations, both as to capacity
and moral character, from three military
committees.
No other recruiting can be allowed in the
State. Companies now partly recruited to
be combined, if not turned over to parties
holding commissions, or be disbanded.
All attempts to recruit, except under this
new regulation, will be useless-no such
companies can be received. Authority to
recruit heretofore given to be thus limited.
COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.
For further specifications of the new regu.
lations we give the following from the order
of Adjutant- General Buckingham:
The Governor will appoint, at his discre-
tioD, Second Lieutenants, who will be i'm
medistely mustered into the service, and
duly instructed by mastering officer, who
will be in attendance at these head quarters
for the purpose. The Lieutenauts thus ap-
pointed will be required to enlist certain
number of men, on failure of which his ap-
pointment will be Cancelled. If he fills his
company, he may be appointed Captain if he
desires it. He will be authorized TO have
nd fhor -,
as recruited, by which they will become
subject to the rules and articles of war. He
will be authorized to issue uniforms to his
recruits, and provide subsistence at not ex-
ceeding thirty cents day.
The officers thus appointed will be as
signed to recruiting stations, and will be
there assisted by the local military commit
tees. They will be furnished necessary
transportation for themselves and recruits
into camp. Their pay as Second Lieuten.
ants will run from the date of muster, and
their recruits from the date of enlistment.
After companies are in camp, they will be
allo wed to express their preference for the
other company officers, subject always to the
approval of the Governor.
Commandants of regiments will no longer
issue recruiting permits, but may recommend
for appointments.
Recruiting for companies not full will be
conducted under orders from this Office,
where special orders are necessary, and must
in all cases be done by commissioned of,
fcer. Recruiting to fill companies mustered
into service, and turned over to the United
States, must be according to general order
No 60, of the War Department.
Persons desiring TO procure commissions
must in all cases present, with their apphca.
! ton, the certificate of the County Military
| Committee that they are men of good moral
! character, Of such attainments as will fl
them for the command Of a company in the
field, and that they believe that they car
recruit company in their county, and that
the committee pledge themselves TO aid in sc
doing.
Committees will use especial care that they
limit their certificates to the number tha
can safely operate in their counties, and tina
they secure the best ability that their coun
! ties afford.
The ratio of recruits must be one in every
forty of the population, to make up the quott
of each county. No one should be content
to stop short of this. The entire number
must be made up from the State. If it car
not be done by volunteers, it must be dom
by draft.
Should the District Committees fail to ap
point committees in any of the counties o
the State, the citizens are requested in publ
meeting to appoint them and forward thei
names to this office.
