REcRUTrNG.-The two new cavalry
regiments being raised in this State are rapidly
filing up. Recruits, in many localities, are be
ing obtained as rapidly as year and halt ago
BY proper e1ertOn, almost any locality can fill
its quota under the draft soon to be made, by
enlistments for these regiments. The cavalry
arm OF the service has become very popular, and
deservedly so. No State in the Union has fur.
nished better cavalry regiments, or those that
have done better service, than Michigan. If any
OF the towns in this county desire to obviate
the draft, they can do by furnishing their quota
in volunteers, either for these new regiments
now being formed, or for any Of the old regi-
nents now in the field. Every recruit will re-
eeive both the United States and State bounty.
