RECRUITNd.--This morning the Mayor issued
warrants for the payment OF the city bounty TO
30 men, % of whom were enlisted for three years,
and for two years They were credited as
follows Fifth Ward, / Seventh Ward, ,;
Eighth Ward Ninth Ward, Tonth Ward,
fifteenth Ward, Sixteenth Ward, Seven
teeuth Ward, .; Twentieth Ward, ,; Twenty-drst
Ward 3 Cweuty-third Ward, 5; Twenty fourth
Ward, 5 Twenty-dtth Ward, 5.
The appropriation for the payment ot the city
bounty to volunteers is now exhausted and l. is
the duty of Councils TO make some further pro-
vision to encourage recruiting. Volunteers were
never more plenty, an will become more abun-
dant. The pay Of a soldier, including the large
bOunties given, averages as much per week as
any ordinary mechanic can earn the whole year
round. This is q great temptation TO our honest
men ont Of employment. Let Councils, therefore,
make another appropriation, and let Philadeloh
furnish enough men TO place her far ahead in
Case another call is made.
