ling, Of the sprague zousve Cadets Adju-
taut Louis G.. DeForest, Of the 7th Ohio
Regiment, and Sergeant J. B. MOlynearx,
also Of the sprlgue Cadets. These officers
have obtained leave of absence, aud are
here tor the purpose of obtaining recrui to
enlist with the Cadets for three years ser.
vice. The command Of Capt. Sterling now
numbers just one hundred men who are en-
listed for three months, but portion Of the
com Pany desiring 10 eptsg the service for g
longer time, it was thought advisable to OBJ
tain, if possible, a sufficient number to form
a company to go for three years. The pres
ent corps includes number Of young men
who have families or business which make
il almost an impOssibility for them to be ab
sent for so great length Of time, and con
sequently, it will be necessary TO supply
their places. The minimum for company
for three years is sixty psrsOns, and it vii
be necessary to obtain about twenty i've ol
thirty more recruits. This, Capt. Sterling
hopes to do by Monday. The company is Z
FIRST class one, and it is to be hoped that The
effort now making may meet with success
