To The People Of Ohio:
The many letters Of enquiry received b!
this Department, relating to the military
organizations now progressing, induce me ioi
want Of time to reply separately to each, tt
take this method OF announcing in answer
| to all:
1st. That in view of tho great demand
and high price for labor in securing our abun'
dant harvest, recruiting progresses in nearly
all paris Of the State quietly and SATISFACTORY
| ly.
] Sd. That the authority Of granting boun-
| ties to recrdtts for General service, even BY
the legislature, is questionable; but, aside
| from this, think it far wiser 10 rely upon
the honor, patriotism and liberality of the
gallant people of Ohio to fill up our regiments.
than upon the offer Of pecuniary considera-
ton by the State. 1t is true that money is

friends left behind by the volunteers, and
also for incidental expenses in organizing
our forces; but l am greatly mistaken in the
character of the people of Ohio, if all suns
required Tor these purposes cannot promptly
be raised by voluntarily donation. There
fore, until this effort, which is being resorted
to in various parts Of the State, shall have
proved failure. it is not my purpose to con-
vene the General Assembly IN extra ses.

3D.. As announced in former ecmmuni-
cation, arecoTd will be kept Of the names Of
all who may procure volunteer substitutes,
or make substantial donations for that pur.
pose, and should we hereafter be compelled
TO resort to drafting, Ipledge all such to use
all efforts IN my power to protect them from
draft. n.f' ' H
4th. Recruiting officers are authorized to
grant furloughs to all who may desire to re
main at home to assist in harvesting until
the lOth day Of August, on which day they
will report their men to their several camps
of rendezvous. '.. 'f.
z The apportionment among the several
counties, Of troops to be raised, as designated
in order No, 20, was intended 10 be addl
tional TO the number necessary TO fill up the
regiments in the field, and also to complete
regiments No. 45, 80 and so, then being rails.
ed, and have especially to request the sew
eral military committees Of the State to give
this branch of the recruiting their particular
attention. 49," .a @'#f .ft 7el '.
The advance months pay and one fourth
of the one hundred dollars bounty is applca-
BILE to recruits for the old regiments as we'll
as the new ones. The most effective service
to be rendered the Government will be in
filling Dp regiments now in the field, which
are we'll drilled and well offered. Commit
tees, therefore, charged with the dishurse-
mcnt OF funds raised by voluntary subscrip-
tion, cannot make better use Of it than in
stimulating this branch of the recruiting SER
vice; and persons finding substitutes to fill
up old regiments shall occupy the same hon.
orable and advantageous position on the
military records here as when finding sub
stitdtesfor new regiments. ~ 's7esr@' @'.'t
| avail myself OF this opportunity to re-
turn profound thanks to the several military
committees of the State aud all others who
have come to my assistance, for the generous
and vigorous aid they have thus lar rendered
me; but for this aid, no man on earth could
pc form all the duties thrown upon this de
parsment. Urgently soliciting tho hearty
cooperation Of all lovers, OF our free instltu-
tions, | am, very respectfully, .s~r.-...
