For tn information Of the public on sub
jects of frequent inquiry at this office, the
following statements are published
l. No quota has yet been assigned to this
State by the War Department under the last
call of the President, dated Feb. l, 1864
When the quota shall be assigned to the Con-
81 essional Districts of the State, it will, un
der the present order of the War Department,
be assigned by the Board of Enrolment in
each district to the several towns and wards
of the district The quota of each town or
ward can be closely approximated by adding
two-thirds Of the number already assigned
in General Order No. u from this office, as
the quota under the call of October II. 1863.
for three hundred thousand and the people
of each community are urgently advised to
continue the enlistment of volunteers upon
that basis, that there may be less to accom-
plish in the short time that will elapse be-
tween the receipt of information and the day
Of the draft.
II. No information can at present be Civ
en- from this office as to the credits due to
the towns and wards of the State for volun-
teerssenlisted under this call. Such intorma
ton is being prepared as speedily as possible,
and will contain all credits, whether Of vete-

The Governor confidently expects that
Wisconsin will promptly furnish the quota
of the State under the latest calls of the Pres
ident. To accomplish this in the limited
time yet remaining will require earnest and
constant labor throughout the State. In the
absence of information as to the exact quota
of localities, let the people approximate as
nearly as possible and secure the number of
recruits necessary to clear them from draft
Let the sacredness of the cause we would rem
der triumphantly successful, and the wasting
strength of the rebellion Inspire US anew with
a fervid devotion, and secure a response from
Wisconsin which shall aid in the speedy ov-
erthrow of traitors and the return of peace
to the land.
By order Of the Governor,
