Recruiting Going on Acttvely-4,OOO
per week Sent to Grant--Tho Number
Increasing to 1000 per Day.

r .lu
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Most en-
couraging accounts are received from
every quarter as to the number of re.
cruits now being obtained. In Penns.
ylyania about 10000 men have been
recruited quite as many in New York,
while New England has furnished 20,-
900 ; and perhaps when all the returns
are received the number will be found
to be even greater than this. The
western States also are doing very well.
For some time past ieinforcements at
the rate Of 1000 per week have been
going forward to the Army of tho Po-
tomac and for the next two or three
weeks it is expected that 1000 per day
will be forwarded.
The average number of recruits now
obtained daily throughout the coun-
try is about 1900; and this number
will be increased to 1000 or $500 per
day before the 5th of September. At
least 100000 men will have been raised
for the army and navy before the day
named, not counting credits on pre-
vious calls, or those arising from
fromcr naval onlistments. Had tho
call been for 100000, 1t is thought the
men could have been raised but the
large call discouraged the people.
