The State by her prompt and energetic
action, aided by the re-enlistment of her
patriotic soldiers in the field, has gained
q credit of two thousand and twenty-five
men over all calls made to the present
time.
This will be increased by the re-enlist-
ment of the troops from this State in
the Department OF the Gulf-the Muster
in-Rolls of which have not yet been re-
ceived,-to the number, probably, of five
hundred men.
But, as the construction given by the
Provost Marshal General to the recent
call Of the President for SOC, 900 volun-
teers Yields no men to the Government,
and shows, that the purpose of the call
was only to equalize States, another call
may soon be expected, and probably for
100000 men.
! This is stated distinctly by the Provost
Marshal General, in his telegram of Feb
ruary l4th, recently published in Cir
cular from this Office, in which he says
nAnother call, may, however, be made
ct any moment, and it would be exceed
ingly unwise in any locality to cease its
efforts to raise volunteers, especially
while government bounties last" and
again, in his telegram of February 18th,
published in the same Circular, in which
he says: " All towns should raise men
to meet an additional call, which may
be made at any moment"
If the State of Vermont shall COM
plete the raising of the Seventeenth reg
iment, for which about four hundred men
are now required, and which will add,
when completed, not less than eight
hundred and thirty men to it's surplus,
the surplus of the State will thereby be
made to equal her draft under another
call for SOC, 600 men, and, when such a
call is made, no additional men will be
required, and the State will be exempt
from draft for probably another year.
The additional number of men required
to accomplish this result is so small, and
the advantages to be thereby gained are
50 important, that it is to be hoped, that
the first of March will find that regiment
filled, and the State in position, where
its quota under another call will be fully
answered by its surplus thus obtained
The quotas and credits of the several
towns will be computed under the di-
rection Of the Acting Assistant Provost
Marshal General Of this State, and will
Be announced when received.
BY order of the Governor. ,.r

Quotas of the several Sub-Districts
of the First Congressional District
of the State of Vermont under the
Call for 100000 Mea.

PROVOST MARsnAL's OFFICE
FIRST DISTRICT or VERMONT
RUTLAND, Feb %, 1864.
The following quotas by Sub Districts
(Towns) in the First Congressional Dis
trict of Vermont, under the last call OF
the President Of the United States for
500 900 volunteers, Is hereby announced
for the information of all concerned.
The official Interpretation of this call
is that it includes the last preceding call
for 100000 volunteers for Regiments and
Companies in the field. Incorporation
al part of the 100000, as thus construed,
which has been assigned to this District
by the Provost Marshal General of the
United States, is 1885. All enlistments
at large in the State were divided pro
rata among the several Congressional
Districts, and deducted before the an
nouncement of this quota. nassigning
| to the several Sub Districts their pro-
portional part of this quota, and giving
to each the proper credits for all men OBJ
tanned either by the draft or by volunta-
nv enlistments, the Board Of Enrolment
has been governed by the following gen.
eral instructions;
| |. The first thing is to ascertain the
number enrolled of both classes in each
| sub-distTict
2. The proportion then is-as the
| whole number enrolled in the district is
| to the number enrolled in any particu.
| lar sub-district, so is the quota assigned
to the district by the Provost Marshal
General to the quota to be assinged to
the same sub district by the Board OF
| Enrolment.
3. The enrolment in the above cases
is that remaining after correction, where
| corrections have been completed ; where
they have not, the original enrolment
4. Having ascertained the quotas OF
the sub -districts, obtain from the returns
/ i'm the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal
Generals office, the number of volunteers
furnished by each sub-district from The
draft to Janury 81, 1864.
5. Deduct from the quota Of each sub
| district the number of volunteers thu.
ascertained.
6. Determine in like manner the mum
brr Of men held to service by the draft
or who paid communication or Furnished
substitutes, and deduct that from thu
remainder of the quota after deductins
the volunteers. This gives the quota o
each sub-district on January 81, 1854
7. After the 1st of March, deduct from
the quota thus obtained all volunteer
who enlist from any sub-district between
February and February 20, 1864.

The ENROLMENT AcT.-The enroll
ment act, as agreed to by the committee
of conference, and passed by both Houses
of Congress on Friday, is improved in
one respect at least from the old law it
leaves fewer chances for exemption, and
will be more effectual in getting fIren,
which the government especially needs.
1t exempts only those morally or physic-
ally unfit for the service, all persons now
in the military and naval service, or who
have served in either branch of the SER
vice for two years during the present
war and been honorably discharged
The $500 Communication clause has been
retained, the payment of which exempts
man for one year. All persons between
20 and As years OF age are to be enrolled,
and to form but one class, the enrolment
to include negroes as well as white men,
who, if drafted. are to be credited on the
quota OF their district. When slave is
drafted he is to receive certificate OF
freedom, and the master is to take the

Coop FOR RUTLAND. - With all the
large quotas Rutland has been called
upon to raise, she shows a present ex-
cess of 80 men. No town has done her
duty more promptly and periodically.
No town stands better upon the record.
Judging from the given quota Of this
town under the 100000 call (140) this
excess of 50 lacks only about taco Of
what our probable quota would be I'M

ANTIQUARIAN SUPPER FOR THE BENZ
FIT OF OUR SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
The young ladies of Rutland propose
giving an Antiquarian Supper on Friday
evening next, at Town Hall. The or
der of exercises will be altogether OF an
antiquarian character, consisting Of Eye
old style" music, vocal and instrument
tai, charades, tableaux, etc, to say
nothing of a good old-fashioned supper,
such one as our grandmothers used to
get up on extra occasions Besides the
entertainment itself being well worthy
of the patronage of our citizens, as 1t
doubtless will be, we hope they will bear
in mind the object of the supper, and
that money spent in this way is not lost,
but helps to bind up the wounds of our
brave soldiers, and make them feel that
though they are lost to sight, yet memo
nv holds them dear. Remember, next
Friday night, at the Town Hall.

Ycrmoni,s QMo,a.

II will be seen by the figures elsewhere
published this morning, that Vermont
has a credit of TWO THOUSAND AND
TWENTY-FIVE MEN over all calls
made up to the present time, and this
credit will probably be increased five
hundred by the re-enlistment of troops
from this State in the Department OF the
Gulf, whose muster-in rolls have not
yet been received. We give the quotas
and credits of vi the towns in this con-
pressional district only few of which
are deficient and those to very small
extent.
1t will be seen, also, that the last call
for men amounts, rs has recently been
the impression, only to an order for a
draft on the 10th Of March to I'LL the
quotas of such localities as were def
cient under precious calls,-to equalize
the States under such calls, and prepare
the way for future acquisitions. A new
call for men, therefore, as we have be-
AOTc SJutcu, may NC SUM SAPSSeNN' ~
on this point, the Adjutant General re
fers to the same portions of Provost
Marshal Fry's dispatches to which we
recently called attention. Hence, while
we congratulate our readers upon the
present proud showing made by the
State, we would again impress upon
them the Importance of doing what lies
in their power towards enlisting men,
during the few days while the large gov
eminent bounties will be available, in
anticipation of the coming call. 1t will
be seen by the Adjutant Generals circu'
lar. that if the towns now exert them
selves sufficiently to complete the Sew
enteenth Regiment the whole surplus
raised will equal the quota of the STATE
under new call for 100000 men. III
addition to the pecuniary Importance o.
ayailing ourselves of the Government
bounties soon to cease, it is also impor,
tant that this regiment be filled at The
earliest practicable moment. The Longer
its completion is delayed, the greater it,
expense to the State. Let vigorous
effort be made to I'LL it at once, and W.
may then feel reasonably secure agains
draft for the coming year.
