The late movem before Richmond have
demonstrated to the politicians of the North that
the South is in earnest. They are satisfied of
the fact at last. They admit, not only their re-
cent defeat, but also the inadequaey of their
present forces to accomplish their object. Hence
a spasmodic effort is made to Eli up their ranks,
as will be seen by the following dispatch sent
out from Washington, aud published in all the
Northern papers:
WASHINGTON, July ], 1862-The following
correspondence between the President and the
Governors of the several States viii explain
itself:

ments now in progress, and the reduced condi-

with your entire approval, that you at once call
upon the several States for such numbers of

Der of men as may, in your judgment, be neces-
sary to garrison and hold all of the numerous
cities and military positions that have been cap

rebellion that still exists in several of the South.

Of the views expressed to me in so patriotic a
manner by you in the communication of the
2Sth Of June, l rave decided to call into the ser
vice an additional force of three hundred thou

troops should be chiefly of infantry. The quo

they may be enrolled without delay, so as to
bring this unnecessary and injurious civil war
to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. An
order, fixing the quota of the respective States,

OF the Atlantic States, Iowa, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts and Kansas, are unrepresented
by their governors. Oregon and California, on
the Pacific coast, could not be of course. The
Northern papers state that it is understood that
the governors of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island declined signing the address to the Presi-
dent, on the ground that they were not prepared
to pledge their States for nsw levies until guaran-
that they would not be occupied in the
policy of protecting rebels with one hand, while
the rebellion with the other.
