COL James h. HHcor. Hssl ProvoSt
WQrSh0i General toiumJuS, o.:
The quota oI the Stale ol Ohio, under
the call tor three hundred thousand men,
dated Dec. l9h, 1854. is twenty six
thousand one hundred and Gfty five. -
This is the number required under the
cali, after taking into account the credits
to which the State is entitled. by estimat.
ing the number OF years service furnished
by one, two and three years men. The
quotas of the Districts are as follows:
18th, 1920
19h, 1897
The whole number of years service
furnished BY each District, and which is
20 be consider ed in apporlioning the quo
tas of the sub districts, is:
Eighteenth Dis,rcl 5 800 being an ex
cess Of 1916 years Of service over the
number OF men furnished.
Nineteenth District s. 267, being an ex
cess OF 2795 years of service over the
number OF men furnished.
In order to cqualize this credit, it will
be added to the quota Of the districts in
gross, and distributed among the sub dis
uicis according to the number enrolled
in each. This will give the quota Of the
sub.dstricts increased by the erceSs IN
proportion TO tile numJer enrolled; bat as
the number OF one, two or three years
men, respectively, have been furnished
without regard to The numper enrolled

this gross quota, the actual amount OF ex

district has furnished.
Since the above was put into ty pc, the
following circular has come to hand, from
which it appears that the assIgpmsnt o
quotas has been Withdrawn, and new
one is to be made, giving the Districts
the benefit OF the recent corrections o
the enrolment. There is glorious un
certainty about these Draft matters, ,ha
contributes largely TO their interest. Blu
