Lee evidently. defers his grand attack
until his reinforcements come up. i
No demonstration hes been made by the
enemy since Wednesday,
Recruits are hurrying to the front this
week from Pennsylvania, and especially
more rapid than at any previous time.
The Post says: According to the re-
cords of the transportation office in this
city, the numter of recruits from the
Northern and Eastern parts of this State,
and from one or two points in the New
England States, passing to the front daily
average 800. -......-.-
Not unfrequently, as many as 800 OF the
New York State men, alone, procure
transportation orders here in one day.
But many others, also Of this State, who
come from Elmira, do not obtain their or
ders here, and therefore, no records are
kept of them in the New York Office.
Others go South directly by the North
cru Pennsylvania Railroad. Besides the
! recorded number of recruits who pass
! through New York, an average Of about
| four hundred convalescent soldiers are sent
from this depot. They are experienced
troops who came home early In the sum-
mer slightly wounded, and now return to
the field rested and invigorated.
The total number Of men who 60
through this city daily, and join the army,
is not less than 1900.
The class of men coming from the coun-
try now are among the best who have yet
entered the field.
It's said by officers who have been en-
gagged from the first in the inspection and
transportation of troops, that detachments
of from 1000 to 1900 are now continually
arriving. -
There is sometimes scarcely man who
could not at once become an excellent non
commissioned officer.
The common impression, arising from
the fact that in cities there is continued
call for alien substitutes, that most of th'
material which now enters the army IS o
an inferior grade, Is shown to be who'll!
incorrect in reference to the majority o
