We are informed that the corrected enrollment of the First, Second, Third, and Fourth District now number but about one-half the original enrollment of 1863, and have been definitely informed that the corrected enrollment of the Fourth District shows but 9,228 men. We submit, then, that the Sixth District, having over 5,000 less home voters, could not have, if correctly enrolled, so many men, and would not, if the law was carried out as it was intended, have so large a quota as the quota of the Fourth District.

We beg leave to state, also, that in addition to filling our quotas as generally and with as much promptness as any district in the State, a great number of men who were enrolled in 1863, and whose names have not been taken from the enrollment lists, have enlisted in other States and in other districts in this State, owing to larger bounties being offered by the richer and more prosperous communities in other districts.
