The above are the first that have been is
sued on the new style of commission which
has just been engraved. The old commissions
were at first printed upon parchment and
subsequently upon paper, and both were ver-
bose, cumbersome and inconvenient. The
present one is Autographed and on fine bank
note paper, so that it can be folded into a
very small space and easily carried in a CON-
mon porte.monnaie. 1t is model Of breyity,
comprehensiveness and artistic elegance, and
can be used for State militia or United States
volunteers, while heretofore two kinds have
been in use.
Augusta has voted TO pay bounty of $500
to recruits to eli her quota under the late call.
1t is probable that Gov. Coburn may not be
able to attend the conservation of the ceme-
terry at Gettysburg on the Goth inst, on ,ac-
count of pressing official duties.
His Excelency has decided that it is not
judicious to convene an extra session of the
legislature. as
Official notice has been received OF the res
ignation on surgeons certificate of disability
Of Capt. Charles F. Stone, Co. c, 9th regi-
ment, and Capt. Orlando w. Trask, Co. f,
