The Call for Troops.
The expected proclamation of the president
calling for new troops, is published this morn
ing. They are needed to fill up the veteran
regiments depleted by the chances OF war;
and to take the places Of those whose terms
of enlistment will expire during the current
year. The states are allowed till January,
1864, to fill their quotas under the call 10y
volunteering. Another draft will then supply
the deficiency.
Our state authorities have also issued an
earnest appeal for volunteers, offering extra.
ordinary inducements to such as are able and
willing to engage in the work. Those who
have been already in the military service, Sc
cure 1882 by re-enlistment, themselves choos-
ing the arm of the service in which they will
enlist. There are now eight organizations
artillery, cavalry and infantry-in process o.!
formation in this state as follows:
The second regiment of heavy artillery,
commanded by Col. Frankie, headquarters at
Readville;
The twelfth unattached company of heavy
artillery, commanded by Capt. james NJ
Richardson, stationed at Salem and Beverly
he first battalion Of veteran cavalry;
The new battalion for the LIST regiment of
Massachusetts cavalry, under the command
OF Col. Horace b. Sargent, to take the place
OF the battalion at Port Royal, which has
been permanently detached;
The first veteran regiment (the fftv-sixth
regiment Of Massachusetts volunteer infan-
try,) TO be commanded by Col. Griswold,
headquarters at Readvile; to be raised in
Boston and vicinity.
The second veteran regiment, (the 57th
regiment of Massachusetts volunteer infan-
try,) to be raised in Worcester and the four
western COMMITTEES, and to be commanded bv
Col. William f. Bartlett, late ofthe 49th regi-
ment;
The third veteran regiment, (the 5Sth regi-
ment OF Massachusetts volunteer infantry to
be raised in southwestern Massachusetts, in
GLIDING the old colony, to be commanded by
Col. Sias 2. Richmond, late of Sd regiment;
The fourth veteran regiment, (the 59th reg
lment OF Massachusetts volunteer infantry, to
be raised in the counties of Essex and Middle
sex, and to be under the command of Col.
Gould, late major OF the 18th regiment.
We understand that the second veteran reg
iment, (57th intantTy,) under Co. Bartlett, is
SO far advanced that it will go into camp at the
South Worcester barracks in a few days,
where it will remain till its ranks are full.
The bounty offered for re- enistments is not
contingent upon the duration of the war, bnt is
to be paid entire to those who serve till the
end not however, exceeding three years.
New volunteers will receive the state
bounty Of fifty dollars, and also bounty Of
500 from the federal government, besides
state aid for their families and their freedom
of choice will be respected as far as the pub
lie interest will possibly allow. The state
has thoroughly learned by this time the com
paritiye merits of the two systems Of raising
troops, and there will be few to dispute that the
volunteering system is in nearly all respects
the most agreeable, and the most successful.
There will also be very few in Massachusetts
to object to any system of practical and dis
eliminating liberality which will ensure the
filling of her entire quota by voluntary enlist
ments before the first of January next.
The country will welcome the new procla-
nation of the president as another evidence
OF the great prudence and wisdom by which
he is guided. Though the rebellion has been
crowded into very narrow limits, and the diff
ficulty of maintaining itself increases with
every campaign, yet lie does not mean that
any exigency, however remote or improbable,
shall find him unprepared to meet it. And
all good citizens who believe that he should
be upheld in his great work will now as they
have done heretofore, render to him their ut
most aid
