COLUMBUS, O., July %.
1b t1s People of Ohio.
Aa many letters of inquiry received
#by this Department, relating to the mil
itasg anizations now progressing, in
] sIaee ane for want of time to reply sepa
rafel fto each, to take this method o.
ounciHg in answer to all.
That in view of the great de
fnanf and high price for labor in secur
ling olr abundant harvest, recruiting
Hprosresses IN nearly all parts of tht
Estate quietly and satisfactorily.
That the authority of granting
thoHn 10 recruits for general service
sere sle Legisiature, Is QUESTION: BE
this, Isflfiak 1t far wise,
to Ssl 9s aPon she honar, patriotism and
iiliSerality Of the gallant people of Ohio
! to fill up our regiments, than upon the
offer of Peenniafy consideration by the
State. Ibis true that,money is required
for the support of families and friends
left behind by the volunteers, and also
for incidental expenses in organizing
our forces; but { am greatly mistaken
in the character of the people of Ohio,
if all sums required for these purposes
cannot proHptly besraised by voluntary
DONATION Therefore, until this effort,
which is being resorted to in various
parts of theState, shall have proved a
failure, it is not my purpose to convene
the General Assembly in extra session.
3D.. As announced in a former COM
munication, record will be kept of the
names of all who may procure volunteer
substitutes, or make substantial dona-
tions for that purpose, and should we
hereafter be compelled to resort to
drafting. pledge all such to use all eff
forts in my power to protect them from
draft. .
4the Recruiting officers are authorized
to grant furloUghs to all who may de.
SIRE to remain at home to assist in har-
.yestiRg until the 10th day of August,
on which day they will report their
men to their several camps ofrendezvous.
The apportion ment among the seBe-
raj equities, of troops to be raised, as
designated in order No 20, was intended
to be additional to the number neces-
sary to fillup the regiments in the field,
and also to complete regiments No. 45,
90 and 81, then being raised, and have
especially to request the several military
committees of the State te give this
branch OF the recruiting heir particular
attention
: The advance month 5 pay and one
fourth OF the one hundred doliars bounty
is applicable TO recruits for the old reg
iments as well as the new ones. The
Spest effective service to be readered the
Utoyefnment viii be in filing uD regi-
anents now In tho field, which are we'll
4isis4ea sa's4welf ofhcered aC Cpmnaitte
therefore, charged with the dishurse-
ment OF fenas ts.;;sed by voluntary sub
scrlptlon, cannot make better use Of
1T than III stimulating this branch of the
recruiting service; aud persons finding
substitutes to fill up old regiments shall
occupy the same honorable and adyan-
tageous position on the military records
here as when HIDING substitutes for new
regiments
| avail myself of this opportunity to
return my profound thank to the seve-
raj military eovlmittees of the State,
and all others who have come to my as
slstance, fer the generous and vigorous
aid they have thus far rendered ME; but
for this aid, no man on earth could per-
form all the duties thrown upon this
department. Urgently soliciting the
hearty cooperation of all lovers Of our
free Institutions,
am, very respectfully,
Your ohedient servant,
DAVID TOD. Governor.
