GENERAL ORDER No 60.
In view of the great Importance of enlsting
remaining contingent Of Massachusetts in the three
years SERVICE and of assisting far possible the
rapid recruitment of the Cavalry Regiment and the
Artillery Companies for three years service now
being raised in this state the Governor and Command
er in-Chef proposes to suspend for sufficient time to
accomplish the object the draft impending for the
SLh inst in all such cities and towns will at
null all their bountes offered for the nine months SER
vice, and will not during the filling Of the present quota
of 9OSO nine months militia, offer any bcuntes for nine
months service and will accept any
months men-but on the contrary will Immediately by
fixed bounties for the number of required of them
respectively by General Order No So, by all other
proper MEANS give their best efforts in aid of the
crumont of the Second Cavalry Regiment the Twelfth
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Light Artillery
Companies and the Third Heavy Artillery Company for
Fort Warren forming and of the old regiments
the field SO far as their quotas Will 60
The draft is hereby suspended throughout the Com
monwealth for ten days in order enable the cities and
towns to adopt the method herein suggested and to
nsh evidence of their having done In those cities
and towns in which this proposed adopted
the draft will then be executed, namely Thurs lay
the eighteenth of December current in the manner dL
rected by previous orders
Those towns and cities which adopt the above sugges
the promotion of enlismens the three years service
will have liberal extension of time for the purpose
The three years regiments and batteries arekey be
much efficient and useful in the service of the
country than any nine months possibly be- that
the additional time required class of en-
stments will be well bestowed. Although the men are
this day needed in the field for General Banks Expedi-
ton and elsewhere and should by all means be supplied
at the earliest possible day the superior efficiency that
will be obtained by directing enlisments the three
years service will compensate for the small additional
delay that will be necessary
Those and cities which adopt act upon the
above propositions will report to the Aduant General
their decison ana the progress which they make in
carrying into effect prior to the eighteenth day of De.
cember instant in order enable the COMMANDMENT.
Chief 10 decide whether the result of their efforts up
that time, has been successful justify farther
delay.
No application to open alter the assignment of
the quotas of any towns cities will be considered
The directions General Order No. Sc clear and
precise and if any towns have through nadverence
otherwise, omitted compliance with any its require
nents is too late remedy this error on their
part and a2y inequalities which may be found to exist
can be equitably rectifed by The Legislature it's
ing session. by repayng any dsproportionate number
bounties thereby occasoned.
This Order has in view the supplying of tho great want
of the service for the kinds of troops which it is
the effort to furnish 1t has also in view the hope
of enabling towns by giving them little further time
to raise their quotas by volunteers thus relieving
of draft, whchso towns represent to be unequal
and to be based in their returns which
peated opportunities for correction have not wholly
eratcated prevented And 1t WILL by giving further
time resolve al the questions of inequality into
question, not of.the number of men drafted but Of
bounes paid, which inequality proved hereafter, can
easily be adjusted.
And finally, the Governor his appeal, which he
has vainy made to the unfaterng patriotism and
heroic character of the people of and
hors them reinforce without delay, by these arms
Cavalry and Artillery, the 1000 Infantry of the Com"
monwealth whom Massachusetts, has since the call of
July 1852, contributed to the Armies OF the Union.
By order of His Excellency JOHN A. ANDREW Coy
ernor and Commander-in-Chief.
