WHAT OHIO HAS DONE.
The number of authorized infantry reg
iments has reached as high as eighty-three
thirty eight of which are now in active SER
vice, together with five companies Of cavalry
and four batteries of artillery, comprising in
| all over forty thousand men now in the field.
Five regiments, the Twelfth, Eighteenth,
Nineteenth, Forty, first and Fifty-frst are
now ready for marching orders, which will
swell the number to forty-fve thousand.
| There are other regiments recruiting, both
4 in cavalry. and infantry, so that by the lst
OF December, Ohio will have between sixty
| live and seventy thousand men in actual
| service. This is very fair exhibit of what
the Buckeye State has done and expects to
do in the way of sustaining our glorious
| Union.
IMPORTANT TO RECRUITS.
| Complaints have frequently been made by
recruiting officers of the difficulty of get
ting men into camp after they have enrolled
have utterly refused to go. The question
has been submitted to the proper tribunal,
| whether recruits are exempt from punish
ment in case they decline to obey orders and
| report themselves when required. After O
! careful investigation, they decided that a
! soldier is holden from the time of his signing
| his name to the enlistment roll, Just as truly
as though he were sworn in, and persons
who have enlisted and left the service with
out proper discharge, are to be considered
deserted, whether they have been sworn in
| or not.
