the r,ginen,a Stats ios. The statements OF those
inquired of were, tlat recruiting had been muol
liyeher since the close OF tie riots tuan before.
Gr,at complaint WAS made 10y the officers Of regi-
uen,s generally against the dieulties thrown in tie
way OF recruiting by the State Government, and by
tie ack of sufficient officials the mastering office
to forward busne's with dispatch. Every recruit is
pow obliged to sign his name eight times lefore l.,
in muterod INTO the service. Recruiting officers are
obliged to wait fonr hours OF hall day to get then
men examined aud passed, because there il only one
surgeon at the music ring office, and when he is alb
sont everything is kept wanting.
Great difficulty 10 also experienced in getting TIC
bounlies, and men hfe unwilling 10 join o regiment
On account OF this delay and uncertainty. The
State Government is represented as throwing men
out for the slightest causes, refusing them their
bouDties on strained points Of Interpretation, allow
ing hem every opportunity TO escape when in camp,
and making no Effort 10 recover hon. The Pro
vost Marshal is also complained OF, rs TO, attending
to his duty in the matter Of ares.ing aud OBTAINING
soldiers without passes, and Tins iecapturing run
sways. In addition to this the large boun,ies row
offering in NewJeIsey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
md Massachusetts are attracting men dcsi.ous Of
enlis'rng IN those directions.
Notwithstanding all lhe,e drawbacks, recruiting
is everywhere on the increase throughout the city
aud many officers affirm that il the State Govern
ment and he United States mastering officers would
Md them in their attempts NJ enising, the first by
being prompt with the lounties, AID energetic in
keeping men when enlisted, and tie second by sup.
plying tho means Of passing men rapidly, there
would be no necessity OF a draft in this city. Fully
thousand men arc now being monthly enlisted by
the different organizations Of this city. Under the
orders Of the War Department, allowing for sur
Plus Of volunteers, il there really desire
the part of our State officials to avoid tho draft they
could soon secure tho city from the conscrpdon by
encouraging volunteering.
