was in session. The conference was con- |
Quoted in the strictest privacy.
Governor Voorhees, was authorized to \
speak for the board. and he said that New /

the volunteer army. These leei rents \
will be selected from the National Guard 4
as they now stand. and vacancies will be .
hlled with raw recruits, not from other /
regiments. These other regiments win be I

may shortly be in service.

connected with any great business enter

upon them. raw recruits will be put in
