THB CALI FOB morn MEN.-Tho quota OF our
city, under the row call Of tho Pre- ident for
100000 volunteers, will be about 1875 o men
There IL now credited to the city on this call
about 5000 men, which leaves q deficiency Of
Of 1900 70 be raised by the 5th Of September next;
and In case OF failure to furnish these che draft
will proceed. IL behOoves the citizens Of Pulls
depha, therefore, 70 make every effort and fur
nish their qu, u by volunteers. The new enroll
ment Till, under which tho present cat is made,
rcpeAls the commutton clause entirely, and
re lures all drafted persons iereafter to serve or
furnish substitutes. IL empowers the President
at uuy time 20 call for men to serve for one, two
or three year, and allows hfty days time for
districts 10 fiil their quotas with volunteers. At
the expiration Of the fifty days. Deficiencies will
be filled by DRAFT, In the usual manner.
The draN will be made for one hundred per
oeut. 10 addition to the required number. The
Governors Of any States may send recruiting
agents into any Of the seeded State., except Ar
kansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee, 10 OBTAIN
volunteers, who shall be credred to the States
that enlist them. This is intended TO grton the
burden Of tho loyal States, by allowing them 20
put In negro volunteers. Men ensting for one
year will receive from the Government a bounty
Of one hundred dollars; for two years, two hun
dred dollars for three years, three hundred dol
lars, payable In iustameuts, one-third at the time
Of enlistDR one-thrd at the expiration OF one
half the term of service and the reminder ut the
time Of discharge. The Law which allows those
who are conscentiously opposed to bearing arms
themselves but have no sCrupes against seeing
others fight, TO escape military service by the
payment OF COmmutaton, is unchanged.
One section Of the new enrolment act removes
q difficulty In the way Of securing the services Of
the better class Of volunteers substitutes. The
practice has been 70 assign substitute 70 some
regiment without allowing him a choice. This is
matter Of indifference to the mere bounty
Jumper, but veterans like to choose the org tnza-
ton In which thay are TO serye and their wishes
on this point are respected by the new act. Tne
effect OF this provision has been that many Of the
/ recently discharged veterans have re-enlisied
| and after they once fully understand the mater,
| no doubt many more will follow their example,
and thus tighten the quota of the city.
