M. sg as = Sew York, Thursday, July 3, 1862, — THE SITUATION. Considerable éxcitement was created in the city yesterday by the receipt and publication of the following despatch from St. Louis:— Sr. Louis, July 2, 1862. ‘The Democrat of thia city has s special despatch from Memphis, dated 30th ult., which says:— “Advices from Richmond this morning state that the Confederate troops have been driven from that city. No particulars are given.”’ Later intelligence, however, assures us that the @ccount of the capture of Richmond is premature. Our news from General McClellan’s army is as late as Monslay night, at which time he had reached ‘Bis new bace of operations on the James river, with fhis transports and supplies close at hand, and his Gunboats protecting them. He was awaiting rein- forcements; but as both sides had suffered heavy Josses in the late great movement, {t might take a Gay or two before any new Operations were com” menced. We may add that details of the news have reached us of the proceedings of the Army of the Potomac up to the date before mentioned; but, in compliance with the requests of the War Department, which we have heretofore carefully observed, and conscious that ur duty to the public service demands it, we with- hold its publication for the Present, as we do not lesire to interfere with the arrangements of the ‘government, which are doubtless essential to the Wuccessful carrying out of the campaign, We present our readers to-day with another map of the vicinity of the James river, embodying General McClellan's new base of operations, that ‘his fature movements may be better understood. Gov. Morgan has issued an address to the people ‘of this State calling on them to contribute their ‘Quota of fresh troops, in obedience to the request Of the President. The news from the West is not very important ‘to-day. The rebel guerillas in Kentucky are still ‘Botive in burning bridges and doing other Gamage.

Mr. Wright, of indiana, of- Tered a resolation that, by the report of the Secre- Aary of War of June 21, 1862, it appearing that Gevator J. F. Simmons, of Rhode Island, used his ‘officin| influence to procure a contract from the government for one C. B.

In the House of Representatives, a bill to sid in the oonstraction of the Pittsburg and Connellsville Railroad was referred to the Committee of the ‘Whole. The Senate’s amendments to the Army Appropriation bill were eoncurred in. A resolu- tion calling upon the Secretary of War to commu- picate any information received by the govern- gaent from General McCiellan relative to the ope- rations at White House was adopted. The motion to reconsider the vote Asap the bill for the en- Jargement of the Lilinois ard New York canal looks yea laid on the table was called up. A motion to lay Sha motion op the table was nematived 66 against Tl. Pending a call for the yeas and mays on the main question, the subject was laidaside. A num- ber of bills and resolutions relative to naval affairs were then passed, and the House adjourned. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The following are the names of the Governors of the loyal States whose signatures do not sppear in the petition to the President to immediately call out additional troops to put down the rebellion: Delaware—William Burton, secession procli- vities. Towa—Samuel J. Kirkwood, republican. Kansas—Charles Robinson, abolition. Massachusetts—Jobn A. Andrew, abolition, Kentucky—Beriah Magoffin, secession. Rhode Island—William Sprague, Union demo- crat. The Governors of California and Oregon were too far off for the petition to reach in time. Gen, Viele has issued an order in Norfolk for- bidding assemblages for political discussion in the streets, and prohibiting the exhibition of secession flags and badges. ‘The Memphis Avalanche publishes the names of three hundred and twenty-two merchants of that city who took the oath of allegiance to the United States between the 14th and 19th of June. The crew of the United States frigate Colorado were to be paid off on Wednesday, at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Governor Brown, of Georgia, has ordered that no militia officers of that State shall be enrolled in the Confederate service, and he threatens the rebel. Secretary of War that if the Confederate officers disobey his orders he will have them ar- rested. The leaders of the democratic party of Indiana are considerably exercised over the prospect of an ignominious defeat.

It is too late now, however, to Come in. The lamp has burned out, and their fate is sealed. Col. J. S. Jackson, of the Third Kentucky caval- ry, has sent Gov. Beriah Magoffin a rebel flag’ which the Colonel says was captured from the ene- my “ina mournful struggle, but in a holy cause.” This must be gaul and wormwood to Beriah. Gen.

Gilmore, in that city, on the 10th of December last. Two music dealers, named Balmer and Weber, have been arrested in St. Louis for selling seces- sion songs. The music pieces were entitled “ The Southern Rights March,” ‘ Confederacy March’ and ‘‘ Beauregard’s March.”’ The Delaware and Raritan Railroad, over which passengers are to be conveyed between New York and Philadelphia for two dollars, will soon be ‘opened for travel.

By the steamer Stepping Stones, which arrived at Fortress Monroe on Tnesday morn- ing, bringing down # load of wounded soldiers, we have information from Gen. McClellan's army down to Monday night. Guided, however, by the restrictions of the War Office, and from considerations of the public interest, we limit the publication this morning of the news and reports which have reached us to the brief letter of our Fortress Monroe correspondent, content to await the pleasure of the government in reference to the publication of the fall details of the late sanguinary fighting on the line of the swampy Chickahominy. Let it suffice our readers for the present that, after several days of the hottest work in the history of this war, both armies have been too uch cut up for any immediate renewal of the atrn tele on either side; that Gen. McClellan baw established his new base of operations on thesJames river, within supporting distance of a powerful fleet of gunbony,, where he is ayait- ing reinforcements; that bisarmy, though fuss not emtered Richmond, Dee Sistinguisbea iteese, with the moe “i nirable bravery against Faperior forces of the enemy, and awaits in confidence those reinfercements which are on the way to join it, for a direct assault upon the rebel capital, in conjunction with our gun- boats.

Our disorganizing sbolition factions are reaponsible for our present disappointments, as they are for the resulta of their original “On- ward to Richmond” movement. Much blood and treasure have thus been sacrificed to the clamors and the political intrigues of this radi- cal “emancipation or separation” party. Full) enlightemed, at length, in regard to the true policy of the Virginia campaign, let us hope that the War Office will henceforward cut loose from these entangling abolition al- Nances, and that the sound Union wat policy of President Lincoln will be supported by @ united Cabinet. In the meantime the Presi- dent’s call for three hundred thousand fresh troops demands another great effort for the active prosecution of the war from our loyal States and people. Let the people, therefore, of our loyal States respond in the celebration of the Fourth of July, insuch a manifestation in behalf of this war for the Union as will promptly repair all damages, and instantly convince the Western Powers of Europe of the folly and the dangers of intervention. Tax Istervestion Manta Aproap.—It is all very well for English and French Cabinet Ministers and diplomats to repudiate the idea of intervention on the part of their govern- ments; but, when we see such efforts made to work up the minds of their people to a frenzy on the subject, it is not to be wondered at that we should doubt their sincerity. The will un- questionably exists on the part of the ruling classes in both countries to forcibly break up our institutions; but they lack the courage to do it until they can count upon the support of the masses. The question is whether, with all their abuse and misrepresentation of us, they will succeed in obtaining this. The following, from the English Army and Naval Gazette, does not look as if intervention was a very popular idea even with the two services that would be most benefitted by a war with us:— There is a change eoming over the spirit of our policy. But a short time back and Great Britain’s most cherished doctrine was non-intervention. .We gave plenty of sym- pathy to causos which deserved it, or did not, as some times turned out. and then, and we bullied Turks and Egyptians occasion- ; but until the great intervention in behalf of the Sick Man and against his Russian residuary lega- tee, who was exercising droits d’heritéer before his tims, our government abstained from meddling with other people’s business. Now, having just got rid of a conjoint and several rvention in Mexico, we are proposing to ourselves the pleasure of an intervention in the affairs of the most populous empire in the world, and are hanker- ing after another intervention in tho’ affurs of the most dangerous people in the world. Of course it will be said that in China’ we wean merely to defond the treaty ports: Dut let the Taepings lok out! Thay will “insult our flag;” then we must avenge it; and so Dogine war against the Chinese rebels. In’ America, however, we only propose to join France in saying, “Pray, good peo- ple, stop this terrible war. Let the South go, and be good friends.” And dors any sane man believe the North will listen @ gur agrics? And if st docs not listen, are France and Engiand going to war, in order w force peace tn the Uniled Slates We do not think that, with this sort of feeling existing in the army and navy and amongst the unbribed portjpn of the English press, we need concern ourselves much alout the proba- bilities of trouble with England. As to France, we care just as little about the efforts being made there to manufacture a public sentiment in favor of intervention. We are, luckily, not dependent on the friendly feeling of either country for guarantees for their good be- havior. We have bail bonds for it in the Mexican expedition, in the lesson taught by the fight between the Monitor and the Merri- mac, and in the two millions of pounds sterling which it cost England to send a few regiments to Canada. Neither England nor France could stand a twelve months’ war with this country. The colossal extent of the expenditure that it would entail upon them would so terrify their people that they would be glad to cry quits on almost any terms that we might dictate to them. Bey. Woop axnp Raymond Tug Pers or THE Loxpon Times.—In yesterday's issue of bis job- bing journal that “Little Villain” Raymond has an attack upon ‘the Hon. Ben. Wood, on the ground that the London Times has recently called Ben, Wood a philosopher, patriot, scholar aud gentleman. The rage of the “Little Villain” is clearly the result of envy. Some time ago the London Times applied to Ray- mond precisely the same praise that it now bestows upon Wood, and consequently Ray- mond is very jealous at being thus neglected or forgotten. True,Raymond only delivered an anti-national speech in the State Assembly, and Ben. Wood is a greater man than Ray- mond, for he isa member of Congress. Still, Ben. Wood did not deliver his speech at all, and in all probability did not write it; so that these considerations quite balance Wood's superior rank as an office-holder, and put Raymond and Wood again upon an equality. We sympathize with Raymond; for we think that his name ought to have been linked with Ben. Wocl’s in the Lon- don Times’ praises; but then the Times does not care for Canada any more, and is only anxious to find a pretext for mediation. We advise Raymond, therefore, to make another Speech, or reprint his editorial recommenda- tion to depose the President and appoint a dictator, and we will then promise him another first rate notice in the London Times, equal to his deserts and to that which Ben. Wood has just received. Raymond and Wood are about of the same cajibre, and the anti-American London Times has searched and can search the country over without ee two oa splendid pets. Dasem. of Revouertoy ix ENoLaNp AND Fraxcr.—It is the fear of revolution at home that has prevented the rulers of France and England from long since mingling in our strife, It is not from any respect for the law of na- tions, nor from any regard for the right of the American government to suppress a domostic rebellion without foreign intervention, that they have hitherto abstained from interference, Is is because the people in those countries regard the American republic as the hope of humanity—the shield of civil and religious liberty all over the world. Hence the lrench and English governments are cautious in thelr movements. Their plan is to manv public opinion in advange against the States in order to prepare the public min d for war; for intervention means war, If they did not intend to attack us they would not assail the country with measureless abuse. they ever draw the sword in support of inter- vention they will find that it is two-edged, and that {t will wound themselves more deeply than The democracy of Lv will fraternize with the American republic brow the dynasties which attempt to aubwert it, i ove ‘The enlistment act was set aside now + But if | The President's Call for Three Hundred ‘Thousand More Men. The Governors of the loyal States having invited the President to {issue a call for more men, in view of “the reduced condition of our effective force in the field, resulting from the unusual and unavoidable casualties of the service,” Mr. Lincoln has “decided to call into the service an additional force of three hun- dred thousand men.” We published the cor- respondence in yesterday's paper; but,in order to bring it more prominently before our readers, we place it here in this column to-day :— ‘To Tue PARSIDENT— ‘The undersigned, Governors of States of the Union, impressed with the belie: that the citizens of the States which they respectively represent are of one accord fn the hearty vesire that the recent successes of the federal arma may be followed up by meseures which mst insure the speedy restoration of the Union; and believing that, in view of tho important military movements now in progress, and the reduced con- dition of our effective forces inthe fleld, resulting from. the usual and unavoidable casualties of the servico, the time has arrived for prompt and vigorous measures to be adopted by the people in support of the groat interests committed to your charge, we respeot- fully request, if tt moets with your entire approval, that you at once call upon the several States for such Bumbers of men as may be required to All up all milkary organizations now in tho fleld, and add tothe army heretofore organized such: Additional number of men as may, in your judgment, be necessary to garrison and hold allof the numerous eities and? military positions tbat have been captured by our armies, and to speedily crosh the rebellion. that still exists, 40 soveral of the Southern States, thus practically restoring to the civil- ized world our great and good government.

RIC HARD YATES, Governor of Illinois, EDWARD SOLOMON, Governor of Wisconsin, THR PRESIDENT’S REPLY. Bxsconve Maxsiow, Wasuinron, July 1, 1852, GuytLeweN—Trully concurring in the wisdom of the views expresse. to me in so patriotic @ manner by you in the communication of the 28th day of June, I have de- cided to call in’o the service an additional fores of Uirce hun- dred thasand mn. I suggest and recommend that the troops sould be chiefly of infantry. I trust that they may be enrolled without delay,so as to bring this un- necessary and {ujurious civil war toa specdy and satis- factory couclusion. An order fixing tho quotas of the respective States will be issued by the War piers to-morrew. ABRAHAM LIN It will be perceived from the Teregstie list of Governors that the signatures of the Gover- nors of Iowa, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are omitted. We have no doubt that their names are left out from some accidental cir- cumstance—probably from inability to com. municate with them in time. The necessity for this call of the President proves what wé long since stated—that the Con- federates, under the operation of their conscrip- tion law, had an immense force in the field, while some of our radical contemporaries and some leading members of Congress disposed of the numbersof the Southern army as if they worea contemptible handful, that could be dis- persed or captured by a mere flourish of trum- pets. And it is known to all that a Massachusetts Senator actually proposed to reduce the arfay by 150,000 men, as being unnecessarily and ex- pensively large. Had the additional number of men now called for been raised at first, the war would have been ended in twelve months, instead of being protracted for two years, Unlike the rebel government, the President ot the United States and Congress do not need to resort to conscription. There are plenty of willing men in the Northern States for volun- teers, and had they been called upon in the beginning they would have come forward with alacrity in defence of their country’s flag. Men pressed into service by a compulsory law will never fight so well as volunteers, The Richmond junta could not get volunteers, and hence they adopted the drafting system—a system which will never be needed for the loyal men of the North. Owing to the mili- tary character of our people, and the martial spirit kindled by the present war, the troops called for will not only be on hand before the first frost, but be good soldiers by that time, ready for any kind of service. In order to remove @ great difficulty out of the way of poor but patriotic men with fami- lies, the government will make an advance of twenty-five dollars of the bounty allowed by law as soon as the troops are mustered into service. The soldier will thus have something to leave his wife and children or moiher and sisters when he is starting for the theatre of war, and which will be of great service till his pay becomes dne. This will be a spur to en- listment in the cause of the Union, The Preside nt urges that the quota of each State “may be.enrolled without delay, so as to bring this unnecessary and injurious civil war to & speedy and satisfactory conclusion.” It can- not be brought to a speedy and satisfactory end without enough troops to cope with the enemy at all points, together with a force to permanently ocenpy the places siready pos- sessed, in order to develop the latent Unio sentiment ond to assure loyal men of their safety in adhering to the government of the United States and casting off the intolerable yoke of Jeff. Davis &Co. The abandonment by our troops of Jacksonville, in Florida; the raid of Jackson through the valley of the Shenan- doah, both of which events exposed many Union men to persecution; and now the intel- ligence that James Island is about to be evacuated, and that Curtis is compelled to retreat from Arkansas before superior num- bers, are facts which ought never to have had in existeue®, and are calculated to have a very P pernicious effect throughout the South, to say nothing of the effect at the North and throughout the civilized world. A hearty and prompt response to the call of the President will remedy this evil in the future, and enable the government to hold the territory {t con- quers. Had General McClellan 20,070 more men, it would not have been necessary ror him to abandon White House and change his base of operations from the Pamunkey to the James river. In fact, Richmond, Charleston and Savannah might have been captured seve- ral months ago had the numbers of our troops in the field been equal to the emergency. The suppression of the rebellion in every Southern State is only a quostion of time; but delay is unnecessary and injurious» The most vital Interésts of the country are suffering, and the sooner the struggle is terminated the bet- ter for all concerned. The way to close it speedily is to bring into action overwhelming numbers to “fill up all military organizations now in the feld,” and add as many others as moy be “necessary to garrison and hold all the citi and military positions captured by our armies.’ | With # force of 300,000 men added to the troops now in the fi , France and Bngland will heettate before they attempt an intervention in our affairs, which could only result in the de- feat and utter humiliation of the two leading maritime Powers of Europe. The proposed addition, therefore, to our army will not only s00n restore domestic peace, but remove all danger of foreign war. Aw Apourrion Rocker anv Irs Sricx.—There is © man named Vincent Colyer, who signs himself “ Superintendent of the Poor,” having assumed the title with the evident object of taking care of himself. This Colyer had a darkey school down at Newbern, and taught the contrabands’ ideas—but not the contra- bands—how to shoot. Everything went along quietly, and the aged darkeys in Colyer’s school had been taught enough to know the pictures from the print in their primers, when all at once Governor Stanly was sent to take charge of affairs in North Carolina. ‘Stan- ly is a conservative man, and the abolitionists became alarmed lest he shogld restore North Carolina to the Union. Consequently they determined to raise a rumpus in order to turn Stanly out, and Colyer was selected as the abolition agent. He went off as brilliant- ly as arocket. He charged Governor Stanly with shutting up his school. He came on North and made spoeches about it, passing around the saucer at every meeting. Members of our donkey Congress offered resolutions on the subject. Secretary Stanton wrote letters and bulletins in regard to it with his charac- teristic vigor and ability. Deputations waited upon the President. The abolition journals denounced Stanly as “scorpion”—scorpions being famous for shutting up darkey schools. The Emancipation (or Confedetate) League of this oy held a meeting about the matter. That vulgar border ruffian Jim Lane, who fights well in words only, made a long speech about Stanly. Colyer made soveral long speeches detailing his grievances, and afterwards visited the Sunday schools and collected the coppers from the little boys and girls.. The Rev. Dr. Tyng, who ought to be ashamed of himself and his companions, also made a speech about Stanly, and then went on to Washington to talk to the President and order him to order Stanly to order the school to be reopened. Finally, Colyer went back to Newbern, and he has just written a letter from that city, which he wishes published as an appendix to his recent speeches. He says that he misunder- stood Governor Stanly; that the school was never ordered to be closed, and that he will now humbly and thankfully eat his own words. So Colyer went up like a rocket, and so he comes down like a stick, Now, what have the members of Congress, Secretary Stanton, the abolition editors, the confederates of the Eman- cipation League, Jim Lane, Dr. Tyng and the other fanatics concerned to say for themselves’ What other abolition bubble will burst next? Tue New Muara Law or Tus Stare. —Else where will be found « brief synopsis of the Militia law that passed at the last session of the Legislature. The Jaw itsélf is exceedingly lengthy; but the synopsis referred to will fur- nish our readers an idea of its general features. Many of its provisions are merely the re-enact- ment of the militia laws that have for a long time been on the statute books of the State; and, strange tosay, those provisions are the features of the law which have met the strongest objec- tions. The old militia laws of the State, enacted in times of peace, were, if anything, more ar- bitrary than this new Militia law; yet this is not perfect, nor could it be expected that it would be, under the long and useless delay in the consideration of the bill, and the haste with which it was finally passed, at the last hour of the session. The officials are now passing from house to house and taking a list of those who are liable to do military duty under this law The public are therefore deeply interested in knowing the provisions of the law under which they are to be enrolled. The great revolution that has turned the public mind to the conside. ration of militaxy matters renders the law doubly important, especially in view of the new call for troops. But @ few years since only a limited number of our people could be induced, on any consideration, to pay any at- tention to mililary affairs. They all looked upon itas too insignificant for their. attention; but now the very reverse of that is the true con- dition of affairs. Old and young are absorbed in military matters, and are turning their at- tention to that nce With as much zeal as they did previously to their daily pursuits. No sooner had we announced in our columns that the President had issued a call for more troops than numerous applications were made to us, by letter and in person, for information how: to proceed by persons anxious to enroll their names among the de- fenders of the country at the earliest oppor tanity. Tue Fours or Jciy.—To-morrow the na- tion celebrates the eighty-sixth anniversary of its independence. This will be the second Fourth of July since the outbreak of our rebellion. At this time last year all of us hoped and expected that by the’ Fourth of July, 1862, the war would be over, and the republic reunited. This hope has not been realized, this expectation has been dis- appointed, and to-morrow’s sun will shine upon @ country still distracted by civil war, upon opposing hosts of hostile brothers, upon a nation still in the mortal throes of recon- struction and regeneration. We believe, how- ever, that the reunion which we have antici- pated is only postponed, and that » year from | tom morroy the anniversary ¢ gur inde ‘pen: dence will be celebrated by iy efilzen of | The Response of every State, from Maine to Florida, and from Now York to California. If the news of the capture of Richmond, which was received by way of Memphis, had proved trae, the festival to-morrow would have outrivalled that of any previous year. But the call of the President for three hundred thousand more troops is of iteelf a matter of national congratula- tion. Had this call been issued a year ago the war would unquestionably have been con- cluded by this time; and now its issue marks the beginning of the end of the conflict. We mow that the response to this call will be prompt and patriotic. We recommend that the letter of the State Governors to the Presi- dent, and bis response thereto, be read at every public meeting to-morrow throughout country. This Fourth of July can be best ebrated by securing crowds of recruits to our armies, aud the reading of the Declaration of Independence should be more prolific of v eager than the drawing and conscription the rebels in forced and unwilling No man has a right to celebrate the a of soldiors.

Tue Tamwone Accerrs Tas Nawe or Kapp cat.—The revolutionary Tribune gladly ao- cepts the name of radical as fitly dosignating its disorganizing faction, because a radical means one who goes to the root of the matter, and slavery is the root and cause of the rebel- lion. Now, we hold that a radical is one who seeks to pluck up the government by the root under the visionary idea of getting rid ct negro slavery, that is entwined with it, Aboli- tionism is the cause of the rebellion, and not slavery; for that institution has existed in the nation since the foundation of the government, and is recognized by the constitution. If slavery were the cause of the rebele lion, why did it not operate for three quarters of # century. It is only since the abolitionists organized in the country, some thirty years ago, that there has been any trouble about slavery. If they had let it alone there would be no rebellion; for there would be no excuse for it. It is not slavery, therefore, but meddling with it, that has done all the mia» chief. The Tribune, knowing that this meddling with the domestic institution of the Southern States has caused the rebellion, proposes te ia- crease the interference, as the best way.of sup- pressing the insurrection. Such is the logio of aradical. To extinguish @ fire, throw oil into the flames. The war would have been ended long since but from the apprehension of an in- tention to meddle with negro slavery in the Southern States. Let that apprehension become reality, and the war will not be ended for twenty years, Ocean Sream Navication—Ovr Sxort comINGs.—Within the last fortnight two pas- sages have been made across the Atlantis which surpass in speed anything before ac- complished by ocegn steamers. The first was that by the China, which made the passage from Queenstown to Cape Race in five days and nineteen hours—thus giving us news in less than six days from all parts of Europe. The China is @ propeller, and belongs to the Cunard line. The Scotia, also a Cunarder, but a paddle-wheel, made the trip from Queens town direct to this port in eight days and feur- teen hours, being the shortest passage on re- cord, and approached only by tlie vessels of the famous Collins line.

THE CALL Fon MORE TROOPS. Spirited Response of the Goveriiét of New York. PROCLAMATION BY EDWIN D. MORGAN, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Tho President of the United States has duly called upea the country for an additional force of three hundred (housand volunteers to serve for three years or for the war. The wisdom of this is obvious toall, Our army in the fleld has been reduced by the ordinary casualti:g of the service, and must be recruited, and the po- sitions captured be arms must be held by mill, tary authority. people appreciate these facts. ‘They Cully estimate the magultude of the great strug- gle, and the sacred obligations imposed upon thems and the necessity of exercising a power that will speedi- ly quell the rebellion, restore the rightful authority of the government and give peace to the country. This appeal is to the State of New Yerk; it is to each citizen. Let it come to every fireside. Let the glorious example of the Revolutionary period be our emulation. Let each feel that the Commonweaith now counts upon his individual strength and influence to meet the de mands of the government. The period has come ‘ when all must aid. New York has not thus far stood back. Ready and more than willicg, she bas met every summons to duty. Let not her history be falsified, nor her position be lowered. We cannot doubt that the insurrection is in its death throes; thas a mighty blow will end its monstrous existence. A languishing war entails vast losses of life, of property, the ruin of business pursuits, and invites the interfe- rence of foreign Powers. Present happiness and future greatness will be secured by responding to the present call. Let the answer go back tothe President and to our brave soldiers in the field, that in New York the patriotic liste of the country’s defenders is being aug. meated.~ It will strengthen the hands of the one aud give hope and encouragement to the ether.

MORGAN. By the Governor—Locxwoon L. Dory, Private See’y. The idea that the State authorities of New York will resort to drafting in order to furnish the State's quota of the call for three hundred thousand men is erroneous. This State will probably be called upon to furnish itty thousand as its proportion—a number that can be raised. by voluntary enlistments. On the mustering in of company man will recetye his month’s pay of $13 in advance, when the regiment is mustered tn he will gos $25, Being s quarter of the bounty of $100 to be paid each soldier, This will enable the mon to provide Tor their families before leaving for the seat of war, and facilitate enlistmente, Three Hundred Thousand Men Wanted for iheir Country’s Defence, THURLOW WEERD GUARD, iooparniew, «her in thie city OF Bt jolning this regiment, ean, by Nene Leadquarters, reoelve ino (or immediately completing tl ip; as it gentle panusof air county in yi Le a elve ever and other ina for the purposes mi of her peril, by appli possible Rivage ta tone am rposee Of yeeruitio B. ne Bh olonel, By special Murder of Brigadier U General F. .
