From this document, which we have
received from the office of the Adjutant
and Inspector General and which is too
long for insertion entire in our columns,
we condense the following
There are remaining due from the
towns in this State, upon their several
quotas under the deficiency of the draft,
800 men. These are assigned to the 18th
regiment, and it is ordered that the seve-
raj towns which have not yet raised
their quotas under the draft, proceed to
raise them Immediately. The number Of
men due from each town in. the counties
of Anderson, Bennington, Rutland, Wind
ham, and Windsor where the HERALD has

The Seiectmen of the several towns
are authorized to act as recruiting Off
GERS, and for every accepted aac recruit
they are to receive SIS; and for every
vsteyan s25, which shall be in full of all
expenses, except subsistence and trans
portation.
Every recruit hereafter enlisted for
the 18th regiment will be credited to
the town from which he enlists.
If any town shall raise more than its
quota for the 18th regiment, the excess
will be credited to those towns towards
filling any call which may hereafter
arise.
1t is declared to be incumbent on the
State to fill the old regiments for which
purpose recruits are needed as follows:
Third regiment, 247 Fourth, 1859;
Fifth, 1884, Sixth, $40; Seventh, 4O5;
Eighth, 81; Ninth, SO; Tenth, 73; Cav
airy, SO; First and Second Batteries, IL;
First company OF Sharp Shooters, %.
The General Recruiting Officers are
authorized to enlist men as heretofore.
A few towns have failed to raise their
quota under the call for 100000. This
deficiency is to be filled by furnishing
men for the old regiments.
The government bounties of $500 and
s400 respectively will be paid till the 1st
of March next. The 18th regiment must
be raised the old regiments must be
filled, and this work can never be done
SO easily again as it can now. While
the enemy, by an unrelenting conscrip-
ton, are bringing their last available
men into the field, let Vermont be pre-
pared to do her part in striking, till
the last armed foe expires"
