bers of volunteers from their respective
States, for service during the present cam
paign, which, they expected, number from
$4,000 to 100000 men, and time OF service
100 days from muster 10. They believe
they can render us great service They are
to be paid no bounty, and arc not to di
minish or delay the draft for three years
men, in States where the quota pending
the draft is not filled up. The QUOTAS full
in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin,
and less than two Thousand due from Ohio.
The excess Of these troops not provided tor
in estimates heretofore submitted, is there
fore estimated at 25,0O0.OO0, and will meet
the cost of 100000 Of these extra volunteers
and respectfully recommend special ap
preparation for that PURPOSE, and submit a
Joint resolution to that effect. Impending
operations render it expedient that there
should be an early action taken by Con-
gress, upon the proposition. so that if sane
tioued, all needful provision will be made
in due season.

Rebel Deserters.

New YORK, April GA Times special
says a squad of rebel deserters arrived to
day, They agree on the statement that
Lee has been receiving reinforcements.--
One asserts that much of the heavy artil'
lery has been sent to Richmond, and the
belief current among the soldiers is, that an
early retrogade movement is about to be
made upon that city
One of Longstreets divisions has been
sent back 80 Richmond for Lees army.
Reports of the capture of Newbern by
the rebels are current, but can be traced to
no authentic source. No such intelligence
has been received at the War Department,
and the report was discredited.
The rumor probably grew ont Of the Or
der OF Gen Butler, forbidding citizens going
to Newbern. Orders have been issued
for an immediate draft in Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts,, Ohio and Mis-
souri, A draft will probably be ordered in
Delaware and some districts of Maryland,
