There was something of sensation in

of Mr.. CONFESS relative to the imperative
necessity of sending feet of war steam

authorities have positive information tina,
rebel steamers have left Asia for that coas

ude, the 100000 called for in October last.
Mon snlisting before tho 1st day Of March will
be entitled to bounties from the Government as
heretofore, viz; 3400 for veterans, and 1900 for
new recruits After that time no b0untiss will be
paid. And recommend to the Supervisors of the
several counties to meet and offer q county bounty
of from 500 to $500 in addition to that paid by
the Government. Under late act of the Legs
laturs this bounty may not only be levied for but
the Supervisors may borrow the money to pay the
same. All the other States are offering induce
ments to volunteers, and 1t seems to me that 1t
should be done in many Of the counties Of this
State. 1t is true that West Virginia, overrun and
laid waste in many parts as she has been, mas
shown devotion to the cause in which we are en-
gagged that is unsurpassed, if equalled by any Por-
ton Of the country. Yet more troops are needed.
They are called for and must be furnished. The
number who have volunteered under the last CAL
have fallen much short of what had anticipated.
The State must furnish her proportion-f not by
voluntesring-it must be done by draft And
while shall regret the necessity for the draft, l
assure you, if it becomes necessary, 1 shall aid
tho Government in its execution by every means
in my power

to raise two new companies for each regiment and
to appoint full complement Of officers tor each
