The 37th and 38th, two new req
ments now forming in this State, under
Coils. Hartman and Bin tlife, are filing
up. slowly The State Journal thinks
that if the districts in arrears would so
to work in earnest, they might fill their
quotas and furnish men enough TO form
these two new regiments by the first Of
April, by which time the State will pro-
bablyGhave furnished nearly or quite
her quota under the several calls Of the
President. "a eo.5 .ir4e
Now we would just say here to the
patriotic citizens Of the Town of Dodge
Vile, that as near as We can learn, We
have from POI p men to raise to fill
our quota of the last zoe, 900, which if
not filled by enlistment, draft will be
resorted TO on the 18th Of April. All
that enlist previous 70 the first Of April
are entitled to the $500 government
bounty and whatever local bounties
there may be offered. II is generally
thought by our citizens that if the Pres
idcnt had called for 400, 900 men at the
previous call instead Of 100000, the
local bounties then voted and paid to
raise the men wanted, would have got
double the men as readily as the
number then got. for men would have
been as we'll satisfied with 800 or $3.50
as they then were with 5000. s1'
In view Of the fact of the Govern
ment wanting the men, which, if moi
furnishned5voluntsrily, viii have to come
By lot, we think the best thing to be
done is to look this matter sternly ami
sauarely inrthe face, and do the best
we can towards raising the desired num-
Der of men, By doing this the State
at large may be able to raise her quota,
even,if zee fail to raise oar quota, in
which event draft viii be averted. =
