H- The quota of men required to
be raised in the 1lth District, under
the last call is 800.
We think this number can be easi-
ly furnished without draft. But it
will require an effort on the part of
those townships that are behind on
former drafts.
Messrs. Carr and Coffman, OF the
7th Ohio Cavalry, who have just re-
turned from Southern prisons, have
been recommended by the Military
Committee for commissions to re-
cruit, and are now at Columbus
They will be on hand in q few days
for volunteers. Let every township
set to work at once to raise men for
their companies. The 173d was first
last fall from this District.
Let us see if the District cannot Or
ganize another, ahead of all compe-
ton.

H A devoted loyalist and pat
riot of Gallipolis, has paid for two
copies of the Journal for one year, to
be sent to any persons whom we
may see flt In order that his dena-
ton may prove as beneficial to the
cause as possible, we add two copies
at our own cost, and will send four
copies therefore to the different Off
ees in GalIia county alternately, re-
questing the Post Masters to distrib-
ute them to the families Of soldiers,
or to such persons as will receive
and profit by them. This week they
have been sent to Vinton, and next
week will be sent to Patriot, and so
on until we get round the principal
Offices to Vinton agair. Ifany others
feel disposed to add a copy or two
to this soldiers club" they can do
so at any time. The sum required
is small, and the amount of good that
may result therefrom, can hardly be
estimated. Col. Montgomery paid
for so copies, for 6 months, before
the election and we are sure it pro-
duced good fruits. Who will join
the soldiers family club.

g Governor Brough has received
authority from the War Department
to raise 10 new regiments. Recruits
will receive bounties as usual, that is
500 for one year, $500 for two and
$500 for three years service. Sec
ond Lieuts. will receive recruiting
commissions for one company each.
Company offices will not be mustered
until the companies are organized
nor field or staff officers until the
regiment is organized. The muster
in of each man will date from his en-
listment. The regiment must be
complete before the 7th of February,
1865. The field officers will in all
cases be selected from veteran Off
GERS of known skill and courage
None other need apply. Recruits
are to rendezvous at Camp Chase.
This affords q fine chance to volun
teers. We have in Gallia county
200 men that will 60 into these regi-
ments if local bounties be paid them.
We have veterans too, who are well
qualified to serve as field officers
We hope to see old Galia well repre-
sented in these new regiments. But
the time is short. Prompt action is
necessary. Let no time be lost in
quibbling about bounties. The
draft is pending, men must be had.
We can escape by volunteers, who
will go if proper inducements be of
fered. The difficulty some of our
citizens experienced in the late drafts
should prove lesson to others.
