THE OHIO VOLUNTEERS.


Was delivered on Tuesday, from which
we make the following extracts:
THE OHIO VOLUNTEERS,
Early in July, the President issued
calls upon the loyal States for 100000
more troops. Ohios quota for these
calls was about $4,000; and we were
called upon to raise this number prompt
ly. When it is remembered that up to
this date, we had raised 1l5, 200 troops,
by voluntary enlistment, of which num-
ber at least 60, 900 were then in the field,
this additional demand will be fully ap.
preciated. Large, however, as this de-
mand was, and great as the effort neces-
sarily would be to meet it, you will be
proud to know that the gallant men Of
Ohio were found equal to the emergen.
cy. With one accord, the patriotic and
loyal citizens all over the State entered
upon the good work, and ceased not un-
til it was finished.
Of this number, about $1,000 were,
by an Act of Congress, passed July II,
1862, and by the Presidents order, is
sued in pursuance thereof on the 4th day
of August, 1862, subject to be drafted,
upon failure to tender their services vol.
unfairly.
OHIO MILITIA.
1t will be seen, that the total militia
strength of the State is 425, l47; that of
the $4,000 required from Ohio, about
$4,000 volunteered between the date of
the Presidents order and the date fixed
for the draft; thus leaving but about
10000 to be drafted; that, of this l2,-
900, about 4,SO0, either in person or by
substitute, volunteered for the term of
three years; that 1900 were discharged
for various reasons, and that 900 have,
as yet, failed to respond to the draft,
thus thus ,,caying 2.4O0 as the number actu.
allv sent to the field for service under
the draft. All the rest of our force in
the service being for three years or dur
ing the war.
The deficiencies above stated, occa-
stoned by discharges and failures to re.
1. spond, amounting together to 4,S0O, are
more than made good by voluntary en-.
listments, since the draft, of men other
than those drafted.
Ohio has, therefore, fully responded
to the large calls made upon us. We
r all have reason to feel proud of our no.
Q ble State to know that she has within
her borders 80 generous and patriotic a
people. To the many generous hearts,
, who have contributed so literally in this
great and good work, the people are
much indebted To the several county

| MILITARY ARRESTS.
S Before diSmissing the subjects relating

I. great measure agents Of the authorities
of the Federal Government, in the rails

and to all its citizens, whether North O

testing such spirit, the power of OF

would have been wasted and frittered {
