NIST.-BY the order published elsewhere It will
be seen that 800 600 troops have now TO be raised
by the loyal States. OF these, three hundred
thousand were called out by the President on the
Is. Of July LAST; and three hundred thousand
more are called out now. IL those ordered on the
lst Of July are not ready on the 18th Instant,
they will be drafted and after that date; those
ordered to-day (being nine months militia mem
will be drafted Immediately. 1t will thus be
seen that In addition to 3OO, 100 UOIEHtseTJ which
We are now occupied in raising, the government
ordered 30O, 900 MILITIA to be drafted Al
doubts are now a. an end. AS soon as Secretary
Stanton shall have prepared the necessary regula-
ton the draft will commence throughout the
North for the SOC, 600 militia men for nine months
And as there are very slight prospects that the
several State quotas ordered by the President on
the 1st Of July lar, will be filed on the l5!h Of
August deficiency Of volunteers will then
ESQ be drafted. Thus by The LIST Of September it
