RECRUITING.

troops under the late call.
Volunteers will be accepted. under this
order, for one, two. or three years, as each
volunteer may elect, and will be assigned
to such regiments, batteries, or detached
companies, now in service for this State
including the 18th 'regiment,-as they
may choose, except that colered recruits
will be assigned to serve in colored regi-
ments. But only those enlisted for three
years can be assigned to the 18th regi-
meDt.
Volunteers will be received and enlist
cd until the 9th day of September. 1864.
Bounties are in proportion to the time
for which the recruit enlists. If for one
year. 500, two, 5000. three, $500. one
third to be paid in advance.
No premium for the procuration Of re-
cruits will be paid.
Neither drafted men, nor substitutes
furnished either before or after draft, are
entitled to bounty from the United States.
Substitutes are not entitled to State
pay.
The State pay of seven dollars per
month will be paid to all volunteers and
representative recruits furnished by per.
sons not liable to military duty, who en-
list under this order.
Volunteers and representative recruits,
enlisting for less term than three years,
are not entitled to commute their state
pay.
By decision of the War Department,
every volunteer, whether enlisted for ono.
two or three years, will count as one man
towards the quota of tbe>town for which
he enlists, and the equalization of mill
tary service rendered by the different
towns will be effected hereafter.
The selcctmen are still authorized to
recruit. .
The town, named in the contract of en-
listmcnt as the residence of the recruit
will be taken to be the town which has
furnished such recruit. and will be cred
tied accordingly, when such recruit is
mustered into the service of the United
States.
Provision has been made by the Gov
ernor of this state, by General Order No.
o, dated July %, 1864, by which such
towns, as desire to do SO, may avail them
selves of means for obtaining recruits from
Southern States to the extent of,two- 6fths
of the number of men required from each
town. But the several towns are earnestly
enjoined not to allow any expectation Of
obtaining men from that source to induce
them to remit their efforts for filling their
quotas from their own citizens. Immedi-
ate and untiring effort should be made to
obtain enlstments at .home,--for upon
success in that depends the only certainty
of avoiding draft. And it is only by
such enlistments, that the Veteran Regi.
ments from the state can be filed. The
honor Of. the state to which those regi-
ments have so largely contributed re.
quires, that they should be at once filled
to the maximum, and by so doing the
most efiicacious and immediate assistance
will be given t, the General Government
A Superintendent Of recruiting will be
appointed in each county, who will have
charge of the recruiting service in the
county, will communicate with the select.

ing officers, and will deliver all recruits
enlisted by them.
Substitutes for men enrolled. furnished
before draft, and representative recruits
. furnished by persons not liable to draft
will be credited toward the quota of The
town. in which the principal shall reside
who shall furnish such substitute, or rep
resentative recruit. But as the purpos'
of every loyal citizen is to aid the Gov
eminent by increasing the number of mer

! used in obtaining such substitutes aut

and have been bouorably discharged, cal
