Sabstantial justice in this respect h:i8 been done towaids all.

Recrijiis wül be reoeived for new ' ï'cgiments now fonning in the State and I for all the old regime iits now in the field until and including the 29th day of De' eomber next. Thcso must be enlisted for ■ the term of three years or during the war. ld. Ftom tho Srst to tlo sixteenth days of December uextj voluntéer reeruits wijl be ropeived, for old regunents only, to serve f or nitie inon'hs, iu pursuanpe of the act of Congress. 3d On the thirtieth da{ of Pecerr.ber next the draft wül commence and proooed until the requisito number is obtained in all those towns and wards which shall then Vso found delinquent. Loss than four thousand men are now required to fill tho entiro quota of '.ue I State and I earnestly hope ,at they will be found to come íorward cheerfully aud enlistV thé war, as all our troops tbus far have done. And I desire thig not so niueh becauso there is anything discredititble in a draft, as because it is exceedmglv desirable that all the troops from Michigan sliould stand upon the same, footing in the anuy. Let the people of : Michigan make one more loyal and vigorous cffort ai:d tho entire number re quired can be obtained, and the high rcputatioii of the State for patriotism and protuptuess will be fullv maiutnined.
