The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1865-03-15

I from The commencement of the rebellion to tn =
3lst Of December, 1864 From that sum deduc,,
the whole number of men furnished from all
the districts of the United States up to that
date. The remainder will be the excess OF
years Of service furnished by all the districts.
Multiply the call OF December 18th, 1864, by
three, to have the number of ,years OF service
upon that call and to this add tho excess, as
ascertained above. Then, as the number OF
men enrolled from the whole United States, up
to the 3lst of December, 1864, is to the perod
of service, as above ascertainod, so is the num-
Der of men enrolled in given district, to the
number of years of service it is required to fur
nish, including its pro rata share OF the excess
! From this sum deduct the actual excess the
district furnished; the remainder Is the number
of years of service which the district is required
to furnish under the call of December IL, 1854,
which, divided hv three, gives the number OF
men required from the district. So.
AS this call is for 300 900 men, that number
cannot be reduced by men going in for a period
longer than one year. Inequalities produced
by men going in under this call for longer peri
| ods than one year, must be equal2ed on future
Gale,
il will be perceived that though the aggIc-
gate of the excess furnished, is added to the
whole call, the excess of each district is after
number cfmen called for, is neither increased
nor diminished, bnt equality produced, eonsld-
ering tho number of men, and the periods OF
their service. Localities which have heretofore
furnished greater amount of service have, IN
proportion to their enrolment. less amount to
| furnish under this, and conprso.
Men have heretofore enlisted for one, two and
| three years, it was necessary to take one OF
those periods as the basis of calculation, As
three years embraced both the other periods, it
makes the calculation more simple to adopt
| that. The same result would be arrived at by
adopting either one or two years as the basis,
but the process of calculations would be more
complicated.
Such we find to be the rule adopted by the
Provost Marshal General The rule is in con
formity with the requirements of the laws OF
Congress, and is just and equitable.
We have carefully examined and proved the
work done under this rule by the Provost Mar
shal General, and find that it has been done
| with fairness
We file in the Provost Marshal Generate Office
our calculations of the quota Of each ard every
district endorsed by lis as correct.
