THE QUoTls.- Provost Marshal General
Fry, In reply to communication from Gov
error Miller, Of Minnesota, gives an e1plana-
ton concerning the adjustment OF the quotas
under the call for 300, 600 men OF general inter.
est 1t reaches us 100 late to-day for publica-
ton In full, but we shall give it on Monday.
In this commun iGation Gen. Fry states that
the object Of the present call Is to raise 100000
men, and they will be required from the diff.
ferent localities in proportion to the number
enrolled, and the number which such localities
were deficient or in excess, under the call for
5Gf,tt0.
Der 10, 1861, for 100000 men, are not to be re-
duced except by actual enlistments since the
18th of December, 1864.
The rule in applying credits Is, that they
that produced them.
. Ali men raised since the call Of July L. 1864,
the quota is more than filled, it is carried as
excess to the credit OF the locality, and taken
into account IN the assignment Of the quota under
the call Of December 10, 1864, and Provost Mar
shals are instructed, that In determining the
quotas of suh-districts under the present call
, they will apply such excess accordingly; and
all men raised sin ce December 1 ., are OF course
credited upon the call Of that dase.
In crediting the excess that j.: carried for.
ward from the call OF July IS, 1884, and applied
to the call OF December 10, 1864, rot only the
number of men OF which the EXCESS is COM
posed is considered, but also the period Of their
service; and the quotas assigned under the call
of December 10Th are thus reduced by this ex-
cess OF service, and hence they shoni5 not be
further reduced, except by enlistmentysubse
quent to December 10, 1864, the date OF The call
for 100000 men.
