the government. the United States and the
,eo,ie have had great many new, difficult
and complex questions to settle and among
them. ana bv no means the least of them IS
the question as TO the expiration o; the term
Of service of the Nine Months Men Il has
been long and earnestly discussed among
those troops from every state, aud the people
at home have been in quite as much doubt as
to the true time as the men themselves. Dit
ferent states adopted slightly different means
for raising their quotas, and when raised,
turned them over to the government at differ
ent times. But the government has had, and
could have but one rule, which has applied
and must epply in all instances, and that is
this the troops are not in the United States
service till they are mustered in, and then are
in for nine months.
But this rule seemingly works a little h'td-
ship on some Of the troops, and 1t is therefore
cause for complaint to certain men, who cam
not comprehend the relations between the
States and the United States, and who regard
their enlistment simply as an absolute con-
tract between the government and themselves,
which may not and cannot in any manner be
altered or amended. This is what gave rise,
earlier in the war. TO so much difference of
opinion aud dissatisfied feeling in the Maine
