RECHuIIISG.-This morning, the Mayor issued
warrants for the payment Of the city bounty 10
81 men, none or whom were substitutes. These
men were all consigned 10 the Birney zouaves
and Union League Regiment, and mostly credited
20 the Tenth, Eleventh, Nineteenth, and Twenty
fifth Wards. The Tenth Ward announces that
It's quota Is full which makes still less competition
for those wards which are Ia arrears Tue records
80 the various re ruitiug stations show that very
few of the r, sdcnts of Philadelphia are &C present
cnsting. This is particularly the case with the
regiment Of HOuaVCs now forming IN this state

former Ii the four companies are not recruited
as soon as the other six the deficiency will be
made up in other parts OF the Saci and thus
Phi hadelphia will lose the credit of having flr-
Hishcd her quota. IL is expected 20 have the
regiment filled in about four weeks.
The same is the case with the recruiting Tor the
additional companies authorized TO be rlis1d aud
attached TO the Union League regiment. Recruit
ing for thtse companies Is being conducted az the
old city headquarters in 5. Third street, where
the volunteers received are generally young
and healthy men from the country. This docs
not reflect much TO the credit OF our city. Those
who enlist as PhiladelphiPns ana are credited 20
any ward, should remember that their families
are entitled to a certain weekly amount from the
commission for the relief OF the families OF
volunteers.
