COLUMBUS, July 20.

- Ohio. o.
COLUMBUS, July 20.
To The People of Ohio:
The President of the United States
has Issued a call for 100000 men for
the army Of the nation. This call is ne
cessaryin order to meet3ihe reduction
Of our forces by the expiration Of the
term Of service, of large uum'er of
men between this time aud the middle OF
Oct ober. g.. .... c.. ... ..
The quota Of Ohio will be little
short of $4,000 men, subject to such
credits as may be found on closing up
accounts offormer calls.
The quota is to be filed by volunteer
ing up to the 9th day Of September,
when draft is ordered to take place for
any deficit that may then exist. Re-
cruits may be enlisted for Oue, two or
three years; each recruit receiving a
bounty of 800 for each year of the
time of his enlistment. The draft will
be for the term Of one year. Under this
call have received authority to orga =
iza twenty new Regiments of Infantry.
The field officers and as many Of the
line officers of these regiments as pIac.
.ticable will bo appointed from men who
have heretofore served in the field and
bonorabIy retired from such service
The Adjutant General is preparing and
will issue in a few days the necessary
orders for the organization of these reg
iments. 90 49,.
! / have also authority to organize a
regiment of representative recruits
II desire, the .earpest cooperation Of our
Epcople, who are not liable to draft, in
Fthis enterprise. This should be a rep.
resentative regiment Of the State, and il
its ranks are promptly filled up, it shall
b, oGicered with care in the selection Of
m.n to give it character and efficiency.
7 Colored recruits receive the samo
bounty and pay as white soldiers. The
5,h and 9th regiments Of colorct
| troops, raise in this State, need sever
al hundred recruits, and if more color
ed troops enlist than win fill their ranks
an aiditional regiment will be organ
lied.
It is not necessary to urge the. e.peOp''
Of Ohio to respond to this call for main
. tiRing the forces in the field. The
work Of closing this war is before us
we have it to do, and of course we can.
DOT avoid recognizing the fact that We
, must furnish the means to accomplisf
that purpose. Ohio has fully and n .
bly, responded to all the rCquisitiopI
that have been made upon her. Let
this call be promptly responded to, tha
, our whole duty may be honorably dis
charged. ~
