Istments, for for those who have entered the
general service Irregular army or marine corps,
all OF which are yet to be credited on our quota
Though the enrolment here is far beyond
what il ought to be as compared with the
several States, and 1t is confidently expected

possible that the balance due at this time can
exceed three thousand men. Respectfully,
RICHARD WALLACH.
