YOr@l1ic Indications.


The United States papers contain the statement made
by the Provost Marshal General of the condition OF
the quotas OF the several States under the Presidents
call for 100000 men, dated March IA, 1864, from which
it appears that every tate except Illinois is in def
cheney upon all the calls he total deficiency Of all
the States amounts to 324 7l2 men.
II this deficiency indicates any popular feeling as to
the war, the great States OF New York, Pcnnsy Vania
Ohio and Massachusetts the localities in which the
greatest amount of opposition is to be found. New
York owes Lincoln 59330 men, Pennsylvania owes
74l27 men. Ohio owes 39230 and Massachusetts OWES
20592 men. Total in lbese four States, 1881 1872 men,
In the Northwest, Illinois has furnished IL ,436 more
than her quota Indiana owes only 3O69 men Mich
gan 1881 Wisconsin 10 1902 Iowa 3, LA. Total
due by Northwestern States, 49, 799 from which Iii
nois' surplus of 1856 deducted, leaves balance of
q, 1862 due. Where the peace OF the North

Mr.. Jefferson called a respectable public meetingyz:
a chairman, secretary AID mover of resolutions.
This deficiency OF 1924 TIP existing liz every
State except Illinois after the great efforts made for
volunteering, and the enormous bounts offered, ndl-
Gates failure in raising that is remarkable. The

keep their people in ignorance OF this great fact
1t is reasonable to that if the veteran re enlist
ments % had been large, encouraging fact would
not have been Withheld from the public, denied to
the rebels The fact that tie of this credit is
cautiously withheld from the public is strong evidence
that the veteran enlistment" has not been such as

deprees the rebels in arms "
Every Circumstance that can be CLEANED from the U.
States papers tends to reveal the tact that the enemy

dissatisfaction and discomfort exist everywhere, and
