Enli.s in the Ola Regiments.


BY reference to the proclamation vi the
Governor it will be seen that there are
over eight thousand men required 10 fill
up the old regiments. The Governor it
will be seen, proposes to recommend an
appropriation by the Legislature for .
State bounty for the volunteers in the old
regiments, and there is no doubt but that
. liberal bounty will be provided As
enlistments for the new regiments must
now cease, We hope that all who have got
their hand in, and understand the matter
Of stimulating and encouraging enlist
ments, will devote themselves to it with
renewed zeal and energy. 1t is shame
that the brave old regiments which have
shed SO much honor on our State, and
added brighter lustre to..the fame Of Ameri.
can arms, should now be thrown into the
shade by ineficiency resulting from the
lack of men. Let every energy be direct
ed to filling up the ranks of those regi-
ments, that their well earned fame may be
maintained and rendered brighter BY
still more illustrious deeds in the fu-
ture.
