Recruitin. Affairs,

-Four companies have been recruited to the
maximum standard for the 4th battalion regi-
ment, and four others are nearly full. There
can be no doubt of the success of this move
ment 1t is estimated, from the scattered re-
turns from different camps, and the reports
from all parts of the state, that Massachusetts
has nearly or quite raised her quota of three
years men, although it would not be prudent
to stop enlistlng men for that term of service.
The citizens of Brookline offered a bounty of
$500 to volunteers for nine months, and ON
Thursday evening the quota OF the town was
obtained, and about 80 men refused. Roxbury
has sent her second company of volunteers
into camp. Lieut.. Col. Walker, commanding
the 4th regiment of militia, has rendered its
| services to the government for nine months
1t is being recruited to the maximum number.
Rev. j. Emery Round, the junior editor of
lions Herald, the organ of the Methodist
church in New England, has enlisted for nine
months, and is raising a company for the same
| service.
The town of Groton filled her first quota Of
the 100000 some ten days since, and is now
actively engaged in making up her second
quota, which will be filled within next week
One hundred and twenty recruits of the quota
of Fall River, under the call for nine months
troops, were obtained in eight hours on
Thursday. A grand citizens meeting was
held in City Hall Square, New Bedford,
Thursday afternoon, most places of business
being closed to enable all to attend. At the
conclusion of the speeches, which were all
elegant and patriotic, the mayor read the sub
scription, which was started Thursday morn
| for tho % IL 1
$4,000, as fund for the benefit of a company
OF New Bedford volunteers, under Capt. Vinai.
In an hour in the forenoon, SllO0 had been
subscribed. After it was read, the cry, "Put
me down for 500, and me for $50, and nae
for S25," was repeated until in twenty minutes
the sum Of $5525 was pledged.
The whole number of recruits obtained in
Springfield up to Thursday evening, was 1853.
! The number to be raised under the first call
is l24 more. The town regiments at Camp
Stanton, the 35th and 3Sth, are full. The
Both is under the command of Col Wild, and
numbers 1247 men, and will probably start
for Washington about the middle of next
week. Major ID. X. Wardwell has now the
command Of the 3Sth, witch numbers 1852
men, no colonel being as yet appointed.
Governor Buckingham of Connecticut, has
called tor two more regiments of three years
troops, the 10th and 2lst. Nearly if not quite
enough men are enlisted to fill them up. The
