Philadelphia
Confer with your State authorities, and en-
deavor 10 get the different districts and sub
districts to commence raising men at once,
with view to the new call referred TO in de-
spatch Of yesterday, from the Secretary Of War
to General Dix 1t will be greatly to the sd-
vantage Of the different towns, counties, &c,
to save time by commencing immediately on
assumed quotas. Spare no efforts to COM
plete the revision Of enro ment at the earliest
possible day. The exact new quota will be
based upon it. want it reported to me by
the 9th OF June.
JAMES b. FRY, Provost Marshal General
On the above, Adj. Gen. Wsshburn thus
advizes the towns Of Vermont
1t is not probable, that the number ofmen |
to be called for will be less than three hun
dred thousand, which would require from
this State about $3.50 men. The aggregate
of the surplus furnished by the several towns
in the State, which have exceeded their re-
spective quotas, is $50, which, upon a call
ior 500 o 30 men, would leave 1900 men 10 be
raised. The number to be raised by each
town will be very nearly once and half the
quota of the town for 100000 men, as pub
hahed by the Provost Marshal May /, 1864,
deducting the surplus Of those towns which
have credit for an excess of men raised.
In view OF the announcement OF the Secre-
tsry Of War, of the urgent advice of the Pro-
vost Marshal General, and of the heavy losses
incident to the present active cimpaign, it be-
comes obviously the duty as well as for the
interest of every town in the State to make
immediate and active preparation for the com
ing draft. by enlisting men and sending them
at once into the service, to take the places oil
the brave men who, by their gallant self de-
votion upon the field of battle, have so nobly
sustained the National Government and added
imperishable honor to the State, making the
name Of " Vermonter," in the army of the
nation, the synonym for unhinching bravery
and heroic daring.
Men can be obtained now with less expense
and trouble than hereafter. Each days de-
lay increases the difficulty Of obtaining them
on account Of the engagements which are ma
king for the working season. Those towne
which have heretofore acted earnestly upor
similar advice, have already found, and viii
continue to find, under the next call, thei
advantage in having so done. II is hoped
that the selectmen Of every town in the Stat
will perceive the importance of increasing
their surplus. il they now have one. and OF a
once providing surplus, il they now hav'
none. Thirty-two towns have now surplui
equal to or exceeding their probable quotai
under call for 900 900 men. 1huse 'oHnI

The Argus thinks the seizure Of the New
York papers, which published the forged proc
amation, was an arbitrary proceeding. Ger
sainly it was-just as it would be to catch a
rogue passing counterfeit money and hold
him till sheriff could be found or a warrant
be had. These papers were released when
the forger had been discovered That was
both arbitrary and lenient The fact that no
papers uttered the counterfeit except oppo-
nents Of the government was prima facie evil
dence Of bad intent, and ought at least to ex-
cuse the temporary severity of the authorities,
especially when it is remembered that the for
gerry appeared to have been so timed as to go
20 Europe without a contradiction.
