Volunteering In New Jersey.
TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 29.—Volunteering in the State of New Jersey is proceeding very briskly. About 5,000 men have been obtained since Gov. Parker's proclamation was issued. Three new batteries are complete, and one regiment of cavalry, and two of infantry will be completed during the present week. Almost every township in the State is at work, and it is expected that in a few days the quota of New Jersey will be filled by volunteer enlistments, thus doing away with the conscription.
