In which case Schey would not be of Santiago

No Change in the Situation as to The
Raising Of \. c. Volunteers Under
Second Call.
There was no change yesterday IN the
situation with reference to the raising OF
North Cardinals quota of volunteers I'M
der the second calf neither Gov. Russell,
nor the War Department being willing 20
abandon the respective positions hereto
fore taken. The Governor thinks ana
so does General COwes, that it Will be
next to impossible to get 7S3 volunteer
privates to recruit the regiments
already formed, and therefore they are
unwilling to attempt it. The Secretary
of War has said that he could not change
the plans and purposes of the department
because one State was not in accord.
The Secretary of War will. therefore,
perhaps, make an effort to have THESE
companies recruited up to the number re-
auired under the new order through de-
tails from the different companies, ana
this is going to be pretty hard to do.
General Cowles says that he has tenders
of nearly seventy companies under the
new call-7.000 men in all-and could
organize two regiments on the same
basis as the two already organized, but
he don't think the privates will volunteer
to go into other companies and the two
other regiments.
