GENERAL ORDER NO. 81.
Great injury has been done to the re.
cruiting service in Ohio by the attempts OF
unauthorized parties to enlist volunteers:
This injury is augmented by the efforts OF
those who are duly authorized, to raise too
many companies in the same neighbor-
The result Is that many fractions Of com
psnies are formed and none completed,
oompetition becomes violent angry feelings
excited. until the strife ends in an entire
permanent demoralization. All good citi-
4ens are invoked to prevent this disastrous
competition, and exert their influence to
harmonize and consolidate into full and
effective companies al the patriotic men
disposed 10 serve their country.
Immediate information of all unauthor-
lied proceedings of this kind is earnestly
solicited, with the names Of the parties and
the facts in the case.
No one will be authorized to enlist com
paaies Of volunteers without producing ev-
idence of good neral character, and ALL ct
ters heretofore issued win be considered as
cancelled on the expiration Of the time to
which they are limited.

" understood that after a company is
formed and before it is mustered into ser
vice, the members will have an opportunity
Of indicating their choice Of officers, and
the choice viii in all ordinary cases be ap-
proved by the Governor Of the State.
For the information and encouragement
of those who desire to enlist the following
cor ditions Of the service are made known :
all volunteers will be disbanded st the
close Of the war. During service an allow
sqce Of S3.5 so per month is made for cloth
ing. and that which is supplied by the Gov
eminent Is Of the most durable kind and ct
the lowest wholesale prices. Mounted men
can furnish their own horses and equip
meals and receive forty cents per day for
the use and risk, or the Government viii
furnish to them if desired.
Every volunteer who may be wounded or
otherwise disabled in the service will be
entitled to the same benefits as are or may
be conferred on persons in the regular ser
vice. The widow or legal heirs Of such as
die. or are killed in the service, will re-
oeiye their pay and allowances due, and
the sum of one hundred dollars in addition.
Those enlisted men who serve for two years
OF during the war are entitled when dis
charged to bounty Of one hundred dollars.
Camps Of rendezvous are established in
various parts Of the State under the COM
mand usually Of the Colonel Of the Regi-
ment there organizing. Persons may pro-
ceed singly, or in squads, if they choose, to
any Of these camps and select the compa-
ny they prefer to join, or unite with cOmpa-
MES already forming in their neighbor-
hood for such regiments as they may choose
to 70 into. The Government provides trans-
portation and subsistence after leaving the
place Of enlistment.
No additional cavalry or artillery COM
panies can be accepted at this time, but
there is pressing need of al infantry COM
panies that can be recruited.
