ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,
DAVENPORT, Dec. 80, 1864.


DAVENPORT, Dec. 80, 1864.
CIRCULAR NO. 90.
The following despatch was received by this
Department yesterday:
WASHINGTON, Dec. Goth, 1864.
To n. b. BAKER Your telegram is receiv.
cd The time for raising LIST Corps will be ex-
tended. w. s. HANCOCK,
Major General"
Let us raise a regiment for the LIST Corps
Gen. Hancock's.)
Zen Hancock is among the bravest and best
officers we have, and it will be an honor to he
numbered in his command
In view OF the impending draft, great ex-
ertlons should be put forth by our counties
and by individuals, to fill up, at least. a regi-
ment, for this command. Great care will he
observed IN credlting recruits for this CORPS to
their proper localities, and every man procur-
ed for the service will relieve one from the en-
roliment from which our quota is to be furn-
ished.
Local bounties should be offered, and a gen.
eral effort be made to stimulate recruiting in
this direction.
This Corps will undoubtedly be one of the
pest In the United States Army, and the repu.
tation OF the commander as one of the noblest
gentleman in the land, and as brave and ac-
complished officer, affords one of the strongest
motives for the desire which this Department
has, to see this State represented in this Corps
1t is hoped that our veteran soldiers will
carefully consider the obvious advantages to
be gained by enlisting in this command.
This Department will issue recruiting COM
missions to all persons who have seen the re-
quired service and are properly recommended
Applicants will carefully observe the follow
ing General Orders and circulars Of the War
Department.
If a regiment is raised in Iowa there is no
doubt 1t will be Differed by Iowa veteran off.
