and other leading powers, should offer media
tion, on the basis Of separation, and If this is
not accepted, that then the South should be
recognised. 1t ia stated, however, that both
the English and French Governments will ad-

IT seems from an item In the New York
Herald that Gov. Morgan Of that State has
ordered Ave per centum to be added to the
q. .ota on the last call for three hundred thou
sand, to make up the deficiency occasloned by
desertione. II will amount to fifteen thou
sand men. The Herald says:
This addition to the quota falls heavily upon
some Of the towns and cities. The men
we're fairly enlisted and the bounties paid; but
the State authorities failed to make proper
provision for guarding them after they had
gone into camp, and Il Ia thus estimated that
fifteen thousand escaped, with from one hun.
dred and fifty to two hundred dollars each of
the peoples money In their pocket.
