States Of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and
other States.
The President, to repel this Invasion
promptly, has called upon Ohio, Pennsyl-
Yania, Maryland, and Western Virginia
for one hundred thousand militia for six
months unless sooner discharged. It is
important to have the largest possible
force in the least time, and if other States
would furnish militia for short term, to
be ordered on the draft, it would great
ly advance the object. VIII you please
inform me, Immediately, if, in answer to
a special call of the President, you can
raise and forward twenty thousand mill
tia, as volunteers without bounty, to be
credited on the draft Of your State; or
what number you can probably raise.
