ALBANY, Dec. 4.
Important information respecting volun-
teers, in answer TO an application through a
commission appointed by Gov. Seymour, COM
posed of the Hon. L. Kellogg, Hon. James A..
Bell and VIM. II. Bogart, Esq, has been re-
ceived. The War Department has consented
to the following propositions in relation to
procuring volunteers under the Presidents
proclamation, dated Oct. 18th, 1868, calling
for 100000 men:
First-That the quotas be apportioned to
towns and wards in the several Congressional
districts of the State of New York, and that
assurances be given to such towns and wards
as may furnish their full quota OF volunteers,
under the recent call of the President for
100000 men, that they will be exempt from
the pending draft, should one be rendered
necessary IN January next.
Second-That the several towns and wards
shall receive credit for all such volunteers as
may have been mustered into the service of
the United States since the draft, and the
number so credited shall be deducted from
their proportion of the quota assigned the
State under the recent call.
Third-That the Governor be authorized to
raise complete companies OF infantry, to be
sent to such regiments in the field as have less
than their proper number of company organi-
cations. This, however, conlers no authority
to consolidate regiments.

was as much as one could do to navigate and
do 1t safely. We hope to be present at the
next and at all future gatherings of the socie-
ty. In this connection We would say that the
Pastor gave very interesting, instructive and
encouraging discourse last Sabbath afternoon,
