We are indebted to Col. Darr. Provost
Marshal General of the State, for the full
and clear exhibit which we publish this
morning showing the quotas, the Credits
the deficiencies aud the excuses of the
different counties of West Virginia up
t. the date of the Presidents late call for
500. 900 additional troops. 1t is shown in
the exhibit that the State has up to that
d ate an excess, over and above all preVi-
Gus calls, of 32l5, leaving deficiency to
be provided. wherewith to meet the present
call, of only 2255 men. OF this number
there is due from this Congressional dis
trict s25; from the Second district 1885,
and from the Third district 40. Had we
no credits NJ the War department on past
calls the number of men to be raised in
the State would be 547O.
1t is proper that we should note the fact
that Tyler county in this district ia credit
ed with an excess over and above all de-
demands, past aud present, upon her. So
also is the county of Lewis. This arises
from the fact that men were mustered IN
here to the credit of those counties last
January under the mistake that bouuties
were being paid by those counties. In
this way their quotas were largely over
filled.
By the exhibit Ohio county is called up
on for 1913 men, nearly the game as her
Quota under the October and January con-
solidated calls. The appointments for
each sub district of the county is shown
in the exhibit. For public information
we would state that the law governing
quotas in the sub-districts is this: II a tax
is levied to furnish bounties to recruits up
on all the citizens of the county, the mum
Der enlisted will be credited to the sub
districts in proportion to the number en-.
rolled in each. 1t special bounty is Civ
en- by each sub-district, or ward or town.
the men will be credited to the sub district
or ward, or town giving the special
bounty.
Toe divisions of each sub district in this
county are as follows: SIXTH SUB DIS
rRIcr is composed of the precincts of Nc
Couuell's, Brotberton's, and West Liberty
SEvEsTH SUI DISTRICT. of the precincts of
McCulIoeh's, Woods Run and Triadelphia
EIGHTH SUB DISTRICT, of the First, Second.
Third and Seventh Wards of Wheeliug.-
NISru Sun DIsrRIor, OF the Fourth aud
Fifth Wards. TENTH SUB DISTRICT, OF
Rtchietown precinct.
In the exhibit published to-day We have
not the official figures, but Col. Darr be
lieves that they are so nearly correct tina
when officially furnished they will not var!
appreciAby. To all intents and purpose
they are official, coming as they do frOn
uuder his careful and systematic pen. Tn
people of each congressional district an
each county know therefore what the
have to do. II is for them to say Whethe
or no on the 9Th of September next a dra
shall take place in their respective midst
All deficiencies at that date will be drafte
for, and there is no Communication claus
any longer to save any man from shoulder
ing his musket.
In this connection we will state that til
terms of service are one. two aud thre
years. Counties filing their quotas wit
three years meu will receive double tn
credit that counties raising only one yes
meu will receive. Aud so counties sup
plying three years men will receive thre
times the credit. Should there be in fev
months from now another call for on
years men, Ohio county, for instance, pre-
sumiug that she now fills her quota wit
two or three years men, would not be call
ed on. This presents strong inducemen
to raise men for the longest term of time
We have not further space to enlarg
upon the exhibit given to day. The fact
are before the people. The time in Whic
TO act is short, aud is each Gay getIiDi
shorter.
