Under the late call of the President for 100000
" men, authority has been granted by the War
Department to raise one new regiment Of Infantry
in this state. Upon application with proper recon-
mendatiou, under the regulations for organizing
new regiments &C., one Second Lieutenant will be
commissioned for each company to be raised, who
viii be conditionay mustered into service from the
date Of his appointment, and will be paid as such
nom the date OF his muster into service upon the
payroll OF his company; but should he fail to enllst
an organized company, within the time designated
by the War Department, the men will be transferred
70 some other company, his appointments cancelled
person 50 commissioner as Second Lieutenant, who
shall recruit twenty five men, will receive an APP
pointment In the company to which his men shall
have been transferred.
This regiment must be recruited and organized
by the 9th day of September; II not organized by
that time 1t will be consolidated into Battalion,
90 as to form and be mus cred into service before
that date, else complete companies viii be organized
and assigned to old regiments
Upon the appointment Of officers to recruit for
this regiment, they will be furnished with all nee
essary papers ard instructions, and the places of
rendezvous for recruits made known. Authority
will also be given to persons to recruit for old
CARNATIONS in the field, and to any Person furnish
ing twenty or more men for old organizations re-
duced below the minimum number having vacant
Lieutenacies, a commission as Lieutenant will be
given.
EnlstmOuts under the present call may be made
for one, two or three years, As the recruits may
elect, and Government bounties will be paid a. fol-
lows: "To men who enlist for year. 500; for
two yearS, 500, and for three years, $500"
BY an Act Of Congress, approved July 9Th, 1884,
=
and calling out Of the national forces" the Execu-
tives Of the different States authorized to send
recruiting agents into any Of the States declared to
be in rebellion, except the States Of ArkansaS Ten
nessee and Louisiana, to recruir volunteers which
VIII be credited TO the State and 4ub-dfViIions
thereof who may procure the enlistment. Under
this act one recruiting agent will be appointed for
each county in the State, desiring IL.
The number Of mon to be furnished by the State
under the present call s about 1900 which must be
recruited by the 9Th day Of September; II not re-
eruited by that time draft will be made In the
delinquent counties and districts supply the num-
Der then remaining to be furnished The time Il
snort and without Vi orous effort in each county
and sub district, draft Is Inevitable.
Under former calls Of the President for troopa
this State has surpassed the most bAnguiBe expeo-
tatlons OF all in furnishing her quota. We have
every reason to believe this will be the last call for
troops to suppress the rebellion. Heretofore when
calls have been made, II men were drafted, they
had an Opportunity Of avoiding the service By pay
ing the Communication fee now men, not money,
must NIL the demand.
LII WEsT VIRGINIA ONCE MORE AVOID THE DRAFT.
