important to Volunteers.

It has been decided by the authori-
ties at Washington that where soldier
is discharged before he has served two
whole years, or to the end Of the war,
if sooner ended, he forfets his 800
bounty. The back dues for wages, and
fifty cents for each twenty miles trav.
eled from the place of discharge to the
place of enrolment, he is entitled TO on
the pay certificate from his nearest
paymaster. If a soldier is killed, or
dies of disease before the end Of two
years or the close of the war, he has,
under the liberal construction of the
law, served to the end of the war SO far
as he is or can be concerned. Con.
gress intended by the provisions of the
Law that no one should have the bounty
until the end of the war. The 800
bounty, by this law, will be immedi-
ately paid, SO soon as audited.
Under an order and rule of the War
Department, there can be procured for
the wives of soldiers imprisoned in the
South the monthly wages of the SOL
dier, to the date of allowance, except
the last months wages, which the Gov
eminent reserves. limo wife, the mi
nor children. by their guardian. are
entitled. If the soldier is unmarried,
his widowed mother is entitled.
An important decision has been
made by the Secretary of War and the
Paymaster General, in effect that SOL
der is entitled to pay from the day he
enlists, and that he is not to wait until
his company is full, or the formal mus
ter of the regiment into Government
service.

To Our Readers.

In consequence of the enormous advance in the
price of printing paper, we are compelled to re-
duce size, or. following the example of our CO.
elsewhere, increase the price OF sub
scription. We prefer doing the latter. Notice is
therefore given, that on and after the 1st of Janu-
airy next, the price of subscription to the REpUB-
LIcAN will be 81 so per annum, if paid in advance
If not paid until end of year so cents extra will be
charged. We are compelled to make this advance
to save ourself from loss-and we hope to see all
our patrons continue. II, however, any are dissat-
isied with this arrangement and wish to discon
tinue, their wishes will be complied with, upon the
settlement of their arrearages. To those who have
paid in advance the paper will be furnished until
the expiration of the time for which they have paid
Those who in arrears for the paper if they will
pay on or before the lst of January will be charged
only with old rates-one dollar. New subscrip-
lions can also commence prior to that time at one
dollar. Trusting that patrons will fully appre
ciate the necessity for this course, we hope they
will still extend to us their confidence and pat
ronage. si ait..2

THE DRAFT TO TAKE PLACE POSITIVELY DEC. BOTH
To tile People Of the State Of Michigan.
1t is essential to the maintenance of the honor
of the State by meeting its obligations to the Fed
eral Government that the quota of the troops re-
qured of Michigan under the call for 600, 900 men,
should be speedily furnished. have felt great
confidence that this might be done without resort
to draft but it will be impossible at the rate en-
listments have been making for the last month and
more. The number required of each town and
ward in the State has been assigned upon the prin-
ciple of giving credit for all recruits furnished
since the 1st of July last Substantial justice in
this respect has been done toward all To be ex-
act was impossible, and to go back of the first of
July was impracticable, both because the order of
the Secretary of War did not authorize it and be-
cause there was no reliable record by which such
record could be made up with any chance of fair
ness.
1t is therefore, indispensable that the several
towns, and wards of cities, should furnish the num-
Der of recruits assigned to them, and take this
casion to assure the people that unless the men are
furnished by voluntary enlistment they Will be
taken by the draft.
rOi thC Pun PooS VI S'iai giving oPPoA-
tunity to fill the quota of the State by voluntary
enlistment, recruiting will be continued follows:
1st. Recruits will be received for new regiments
now forming in the State, and for all the old regi
ments now in the field, until and including,
the 29th day of December next These must be
enlisted for the term of three years or during the
war;
3D. From the LIST to the 10th days of December
next volunteer recruits will be received for old reg
imeuts only, to serye for nine months in pursuance
of the Act of Congress.
3d. On the 30th of December next, the draft will
commence, and proceed until the requisite number
is obtained in all those towns and wards which
shall then be found delinquent.
Less than four thousand men are now required
to fill the entire quota of the State, and earnestly
hope that they will be found to forward cheer
fully and enlist for the as all our troops thus
far have done. And desire this not so much be-
cause there is anything discreditable in draft as
because it is exceedingly desirable that all the
troops from Michigan should stand on the same
footing in the army. Let the people of Michigan
make one more loyal and vigorous effort and the
entire number required can be obtained and the
high reputation of the State for patriotism and
promptness will be maintained.

Gen. Halleck's Report.

We occupy large portion of our
paper to-day with the report of the
Commander-in.C Chief of the armies OF
the Republic, detailing in succinct
and plain manner the military opera.
tons and campaign since he has occu-
pied his present position.
We cannot see how any consistent
loyal citizen can longer justify the acts
Of General Mcclellan, or fail to see
that his neglect to obey the commands
of superiors, resulted in bringing de-
feat and disaster on the army. For
eleven mortal days after receiving or
ders to move from the Peninsula, where
his men were wasting away, and while
he had given up taking Richmond with
any force that was available, he refused
or neglected to obey. This delay gave
the enemy time to concentrate his
forces with the view OF crushing Gen.
Pope.
But the report not only thoroughly
exposes the delays and disobedience of
Gen. McClellan-fully justifying his
removal by the President-but 1t also
clears up the reproach cast upon Gen.
Pope in a great measure, showing that
after all, Pope conducted his campaign
with consi derable skill and with great
energy; and that Pope would have
been fully successful but for the treach-
cry of Porter and the delay of McClel-
Ian. 1t shows that Pope himself asked
for leave to be transferred to the West,
and that his request was granted be-
cause the President and Gen. Halleck
had confidence in him, and not because
they wanted to get him out of the way.
The report also shows the remarka-
BILE contrast between Mcclellan and
Burnside. Burnside was ordered to
move from North Carolina to Acquia
Greek, and he did so in three days.
Mcclellan was ordered to move at the
same time, less than one third the dis
