Is the interest Of al loyal cities to send on
as many veterans as possible, as they arr
not subject to draft and yet can be properly
credited to popular locality. The govern
ment bOunties given to the veterans Of the
lst corps are given TO no others, and supe-
riOr inducements are therefore offered "a
enlist in this comps. The time to put it in
the field is short, and loyal cities must be
prompt to forward men, and then take adj
vantage Of the government bounty to fill
their quotas. II is very necessary to tske
the veteran recruit to Provost Marshal
who vii forward nm free Of expense to
Washington. Let it be remembered that
these veteran soldiers are net subject 10 the
draft. Any one enlisting is clear gain on
the quota Of any future draft.
