drawn up in support of others in front. and

expected to have quite fight when We ''double

and musketry troubled US not, for wo desired

more than our generals. and would move down

Inasmuch rs some few days must necessarily
clapso before arrangements can DC perfected for
settling definitely the basis of quotas. and max
inc the apportionmcnt Of troops required of

gress with all possible celebrity. The following
principles are announced as governing future
action in this behalf:
|. The call of the President for 200, 900 Vol
untecrs is made without regard to the defcien-
ces Of States or localities upon former calls and
apportionments. No computations can there
fore be entered into, with the respective Cities.
Towns and Plantations in this State, for an al
legged deficiency or surplus Git amy of yolun-
teers furnished prior TO the date when the Gov
crnmcnt drat was ordered, or Of men or CON-
mutations obtained under the same.
III. In apportioning the quota Of this State
under the present call, Col. Frye, the Provost
Master General OF the Unitcd States, says
.'This Is exclusive Of any deficiency You may
have ON present draft, or former calls, and
these will be considered only in case another
draft is necessary In January - IL, therefore,
the State fails to furnish and have mustered in
10 the United States seryiye, it, due quota OF
the troops required under this call. Il IS proba-
BILE that the Draft which may be ordered in jan
uafN next, Will NV NhAs '"N

cheney, AS claimed by the War Department up
on former calls.
III. All voluntary cnlistments male since
the u. &. draft was ordered, OF troops that have
been duly mustered into the United States SER
vice, whether for regiments and corps in the
field, or for the Veteran Regiments now in pro-
cess OF enlistment and organization, constitute
portion Of this States quota Of the present
call, and those places which have procured such
volunteers or paid them bounty, arc entitled to
credit for them upon the quota TO be an-
nounced.
Nv. While the Commanlcr-in-C Chief. Gov.
UopuRN. and Mai. GARDINER, Acting Assistant
Provost Master General, direct and control the
work OF recruiting, the respective municipal
authorities OF the various cities towns and

v. The Premiums and Bountics provided
by the General Government and State for All

muni6ccncc, that while all who can enter the
service should do so. those who from arc or
physical infirmi,y are ineligible To enlistment,
may find il for their interest, "a well rs honor,
10 suspend their ordinary ayocations for the
work Of obtaining soldiers for tho Government,
until the full number required from this State
Is furnished.
