Recruiting Affairs.

Messrs. Hill & Wright, the prOpaietors of
large coopering establishment at East Bos-
ton, have made a generous offer to the men in
their employ. They have offered to give to
each married man in their employ who will
enlist the sum Of $25, and give him his situa-
ton when he returns. They have offered to
give each one of their apprentices his time
while he is gone, and agreed to take him
back on his return, and pay him journeyman
wages. In Dorchester it is nearly certain the
full quota of the town will be raised before the
18th of August, and quite a number of young
men are enlsting in the 18th regiment. OF
| the quota of Lowell 2S3 had been raised on
Monday evening, leaving ia to be enlisted to
| fill up the full number. The bounty of $500
| offered by the town Of Metheun on Saturday,
filled up her quota (47) in one day. Wey-
mouths quota is l24 men. One hundred and
forty have enlisted. Ii is believed that Within
two days enough men will be raised on the
neic call for the extra 300, 900 to make Wey-
mouth exempt from draft. The Lawrence
Light Guard of Medford have volunteered for
the war. Northbridge has raised her quota of
80 men, and numbers have gone to other
towns to enlist. The Sutton Light Infantry of
Marblehead have voted to volunteer for the
| war. Readings quota is filled and four more.
| The camp at Lynnfield (camp Stanton) is
| quite full, the 33d regiment, under command
| OF Col. Maggi, having the required number of
men. There are now over four thousand men
in camp, and the number is increasing largely
every day. Each town and city in the eastern
part of the state is sending in its quota OF the
call as fast as they are raised, and in camp
they are being instructed well in the duties
pertaining to the soldier, although in active
service this duty will be undoubtedly lighter

if Gov. Andrew shall see fit to follow the ex-
ample of Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island and
call for them. 1t is said that in Truro, the
quota assigned to the town has been enlisted
from one family, consisting of four sons.
They received a bounty of 1926 each-total
$500; dubbed the funds, and purchased a
farm for the sold folks whom they leave in
possession while they go to the war.
The Providence Journal says 1T will be
seen by reference to the statutes that the citi-
zens of New Shoreham and jamestown are
exempt from draft. 1t is to be presumed that
real estate on these islands will rise, and that
large emigration to them will set in"

volunteers have been obtained in Maine, the
quota Of which, under the first call for 300,-
600, is only 1000. The state will not be
obliged to resort to a draft for its second
quota Of 1000 men.
In Connecticut, the Greenvile company,
numbering lO4 men, went into camp on
tuesday. A fine company from Danielson-
vile, ITO strong also went into camp on
tuesday, and the first squad from the Mount

enlisted beside the two full companies in the
