IMPORTANT ORDER.

der the ueucieuCy VI VIZ uiaio, D'J'"
Hundred and etghty-nine Hen. These
men are now required to be raised and
the, are assigned to the Seventeenth Reg
iment, which has been placed, by the War
Department, as to bounties, upon the
same footing with old regiments. 1t is
therefore ordered, that the several towns,
which have not yet raised their quotas
under the deficiency of the draft, proceed
Immediately to complete the raising Of
those quotas.
The number of men remaining due
from each town, in Lamoille County is as
follows:
Morristown 5, Stowe l, Waterville l,
Wolcott 4,
Select men will continue to act as re-
cruiting officers.
When recruits are enlisted by select
men for the Seventeenth Regiment, they
are to be Immediately delivered, togeth-
er with three copies of the enlistment
contract, to the nearest Principal Recruit
ing Officer for that Regiment.
Recruiting officers are to be paid as
heretofore for veterans $25, new men $l5:
1t is duty incumbent upon the State,
to fill the regiments. which have hereto
fore been sent into the field The veter-
ans remaining in those regiments, to
whose care the honor of the State has
been entrusted, have faithfully performed
the duties of their trust, and they have a
right to expect that aid and encourage
ment from home, which can only be affor-
ded to them by keeping their ranks at
all times filed. The quota of the State.
under the call Of the President for 500, 900
volunteers, has been more than filled by
voluntary enliStments in the State; but
the number called for has proved Insult
cient for the purpose for which they were
designed. In order to fill all the reg-
ments to the maximum, recruits are still
needed, as follows -
Third Regiment. 247; 4th, 159 9Th,
1854; 9th, $40; 7th, 405; 9Th, 81; 9th,
SO; 10th, 10; Cavalry, SO; First and
Second Batteries, II; First Company of
Sharp Shooters, %.
For the purpose of filling these organi-
zatiens, and putting them in the highest
possible state of efficiency for the next
campaign, enlistments should be contin-
ued throughout the state, and the men
sent forward as rapidly as possible.
All recruits for old regiments enlisted
by select men, are to be taken TO the Pro-
vost Marshal of the district in which the
enlistment is made, by whom they will be
mustered into the service of the United
States.
Whenever the select men of any town
have enlisted recruits, they will inform
the Provost Marshal of the District of
the number of men they are prepared to
send him, and he will send them trans
portation.
All towns which shall furnish men for
old regiments in excess of the quota here
tofre required of them, will receive credit
for such surplus towards any call for
troops which may hereafter be made.
Until the frs: day of March next, all
recruits will receive bounties as follows
New recruits $500; veterans, 800.
1t is earnestly enjoined by the Govern.
or upon all iutrusted with the charge Of
enlisting men, that they devote themselves
with energetic and constant effort. from
this time until the first of March, to the
business of obtaining recruits under this
order; and all loyal and patriotic citi
zens are requested to give all the assist
ance in their power to the accomplishment
of this purpose.
The Seventeenth Regiment must b,
filled. The men already enlisted are idle
waiting for the completion of the organic
alton; large expense to the State has al
ready been incurred, which must be lost
unless the regiment is filed; and tn
honor Of the State is involved that tn
work be speedily completed.
: 1t is duty also to FIJI the old regi
ments. 1t can DO done now easier thai
ever again. 1t is not to be expected tina
