B6OuR QuoTA UNDER TH1 LAST CALL.
We stated the other day that Capt. Hud-.
son, the Provost Marshal of this State, had
received information that the quota of this
State under the last call of the President
for three hundred thousand troops had been
increased to the number of 44s1. At that
time the quotas of the three districts had
not been assigned, but the quotas were
yesterday received at the Provost Marshaps
Office as follows:
First District.................. .........l5e3
SfGe1a ........:.,.'.......:...-,z9 9sS
Under this assignment the quota of Ohio
county is estimated at something over
800. In the meantime recruiting is any-
thing but brisk. The citizens appear to be
resolved upon letting things take their own
course Whether we have the Provost
Marshars wheel again revolving, or wheth-
erwe furnish the required number of men
by volunteering, depends upon the assidui-
ty'of our citizens themselves.
