RECRUITING OFFICE.
This Office is under the charge of Col. T
Morrison, of the regular army, In july III
old regiments sent out about one hundred an,
ninety commissioned, and about four tuudre
non- commissioned officers on the recruitin
| service. They have not met with yer5 goo
success, as most Of the men preferred to z
l 1v4 %1,n = ~.
have obtained only 2,557 recruits. Thes
have mostly gone forward, leaving semc tw
; hundred at Camp Yates, who will move IN
few days. It is probable that one or two hu1
dred more recruits VIII yet arrive, as tt
otheers are being called IN and sent back
their respective regiments: This h,s proye
an expensive and slow process to fill up tt
old regiments, in fact it may be considered
failure as it has not more than made up II
waste since July.
STATE PRINTER.

Printer, are in good stale Of forwarduess al
