Gov. Andrew, in obedience to a very gem
eral and urgent desire, has formally recon-
mended that, throughout the commonwealth,
business should be suspended during the af-
ternoons of the present week; and that the
time and influence of every citizen be given
to promoting the recruitment of the Massa-
chusetts quotas. In some places, public
spirited citizens, who represent large business
interests, have already closed their factories
and stores part of the day, and cheerfully
given time, influence, and money, to the work
of the present hour. The result invariably
cOmpensates them for the effort which they
make. In order that their example may be
more generally followed, and that the whole
number of men required of Massachusetts
may be furnished in the limited time yet re-
naming for voluntary effort, it is urgently
recommended that for the time all private in
terests should give way to the public welfare.
If there are any towns in central Massachu-
sets which have not yet furnished their full
number under the first call it is the duty of
the citizens of those towns, who are not liable
to be called into service, to make it for the
interest of the rest to supply the number
wanting, without delay. In nearly all the cit
les and towns, and especially in the heart of
the commonwealth, there will be work enough
to do for the country which should be hearth
ly and cheerfully given. Severe experience
has taught us the hazard and folly of waging
war with an insufficient force. The govern
ment is assured that with the number it has
called for, led by officers who have given evil
dence that they are worthy to command, il
will be able to put the rebellion in process of
extinction within the time of service required
of the militia alone. 1t MUST have the power
to try. 1t can do nothing without men. 1t
may do everything with them. To this end,
then, let the thought and and energy of all
good citizens be given. Let every practical eff
fort be made which can tend to encourage en-
hstments till the number is full. There is no
more time for speeches; and appeals without
examples Of personal sacrifice, have lost their
power. There are, unquestionably, MANY
who would gladly serve their country in the
i"iiN' VI 80 ' ""' VIM uo hot see that 1t IS
their particular duty more than it is of others
who would be left pursuing their accus.
toned occupations, and enjoying the unds.
turbed comforts Of home. To this latter elias,
it belongs to equalize the burden which som,
must bear,-in the way which each man
sense Of duty and justice points out. With {
httle extra exertion, and with liberality from
which no person on earth would suffer, thi

THE SIXTH REGMENT.-This pioneer reg
iment, which was the first to leave the soil of
Massachusetts in April, 1861, will again lead
the column of the militia of Massachusetts to
the field. The regiment expects to go into
camp at Lowell, to-day (Monday), and has
received orders to start for Washington a
week hence, on the LIST of September, and re-
port to the adjutant general of the United
States. There is manifest historical propriety
in giving this veteran corps the preference in
the order of march.

L. w. HIGGINsoN's company numbered for
ty last Saturday, all of whom have enlisted
from motives of the purest patriotism and
without the thought of a bounty. Many of
the young men have given up mercantile po-
sitions ofthe highest responsibility, with large
salaries, to shoulder the musket under such
commander as Mr.. Higginson. Harvard and
Tufts colleges have been laid under contribu-
ton and the Worcester Gymnastic Club is
properly represented 1t bids fair to be
company of soldiers well worthy such lead
er. Their head quarters are at City Hall.

Eighteen pounds month was good pay for
those days, although the sum may not have
been equivalent to eighteen pounds sterling.
1t would be good pay now. Our fathers felt
that those who went to the war should be lib
orally provided for. And they were right.
Whether by bounties or by other means prop
er provision should be made now for those
who volunteer; and if there should be draft
suitable provision should be made for those who
are drafted. In some cases it will be necssa-
ny ; and we believe there will be no hesitation
to do what is SO plainly right.

CAMP WooL.-By yesterday mornings re-
port, there were 1915 men in camp, belong
ing to the Seth regiment. The men are
drilled about five hours and a half each
day, according to the most rigid rules of the
war department. The commissions for the
company officers did not come Saturday, as
was expected, but they will probably be along
to-day.
Major Bowman of the 34th, and formerly
of the 10Th regiment, has received and ac-
cepted a commission as colonel of the regi-

Charlestown company, major Col. Bowman
went to Boston Saturday night, but is expect
ed to return to-day with the commissions for
