To tho People OF Ohio;
The many letters Of inquiry rec,ived
by this department relating to the militia
ry organizations now progressing, induce
me for wan. Of time to reply separately to
each, to take this method of announcing
in answer to all. lst. That in view Of the
great demand and high prics for labor in
sccureing our abundant harvest. recruit.
ing progresses in nearly all parts of the
State quite satisfactorily. ID That the
authority of granting bornties 10 recruits
for general service, even by the Leg isla
ture, is questionable. but asi % from this
| think it far wiser TO rely upon the hon.
or, patriotism and lberali,y Of the gallant
people Of Ohio to fl up our regiments,
than upon the offer Of pecuniary consider.
alton by the State. II is true that money
is required for tho support of families Of
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
the sums required for these purposes can.
not promptly be raised by voluntary don.
alton. Therefore, until this effort which
is being resOrted to in various parts Of
State shall have proved failure. it is not
my purpose to convene the General As
sembly in extra session. 81. As an.
nounced in a former communication, a re.
