arrangements TOR the draft would be completed be-
fore the time mentioned. 1t is now ascertained
that the time required for the Enrolling Commits

labors was under estimated. The townships in the
State number over one thousand, and the quota OF
each is to be assigned here, but nothing could be
done howard making the necessary computations
until returns from the Commissioners wero all re-
ceived
The returns are now all in, and the quotas OF
the several townships in each county will be for
warded to the Enrolling Commissonersof the sew

to ascertain its deficiency, and il that is supplied
by volunteers before the day fixed for the draft,
then no DRAFT will be made in that township; and
the deficiency is only partly supplied by volunteers

name, residence, and number of the regiment OF
