Richmond, Va, March 80, 1868.
The War Department has seen reason to
remind all officers engaged in recruiting and
conscription, that the execution Of the con-
script act is n matter Of responsibility and

of exemption important in a personal and pub

! spirit and style of the press-gang, are in every
| way subversive of the true interests Of recruit

This bureau has always indicated these
principles, and although there appear to have

are very few of the officers acting under the
bureau who have ever made themselves liable
