CALL FOR MORE TROOPS.

The following correspondence between the President and the Governors of the several States will explain itself :

To the President:

The undersigned, Governors of States of the Union, impressed with the belief that the citizens of the States which they respectively represent are of one accord in the hearty desire that the recent successes of the Federal arms may be followed up by measures which must ensure the speedy restoration of the Union, and believing that in view of the important military movements now in progress, and the reduced condition of our effective forces in the field, resulting from the usual and unavoidable casualties of the service, that the time has arrived for prompt and vigorous measures to be adopted by the people in support of the great interests committed to your charge, we respectfully request, if it meets with your entire approval, that you at once call upon the several States for such numbers of men as may be required to fill up all military organizations now in the field, and add to the army heretofore organized such additional number of men as may, in your judgment, be necessary to garrison and hold all of the numerous cities and military positions that have been captured by our armies, and to speedily crush the rebellion that still exists in several of the Southern States. thus practically restoring to the civilized world our great and good government. All believe that the decisive moment is near at hand, and to that end the people of the United States are desirous to aid promptly in furnishing all reinforcements that you may deem needful to sustain our Government.

THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY

EXECUTIVE MANSION. WASHINGTON. July 1. 1862

Gentlemen,-Fully concurring in the wisdom of the views expressed to me in so patriotic a manner by you in the communication of the 28th day of June, I have decided to call into the service an additional force of three hundred thousand men. I suggest and recommend that the troops should be chiefly of infantry. The quota of your State would be --. I trust that they may be enrolled without delay, so as to bring this unnecessary and injurious civil war to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion. An order fixing the quotas of the respective States will be issued by the War Department to-morrow.

THE RESPONSE OF NEW YORK.

In response to the call of the President for additional troops, Governor Morgan has issued the following Proclamation :

PROCLAMATION :

By Edwin D. Morgan, Governor of the State of New York.

The President of the United States has duly called upon the country for an additional force of Three Hundred Thousand Volunteers, to serve for three years or the war. The wisdom of this is obvious to all. Our army in the field has been reduced by the ordinary casualties of the service, and must be recruited, and the positions captured by our arms must be held by military authority. The people appreciate these facts. They fully estimate the magnitude of the great struggle, and the sacred obligations imposed upon them, and the necessity of exerting a power that will speedily quell the Rebellion, restore the rightful authority of the Government, and give peace to the country.

This appeal is to the State of New York ; 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 Commonwealth now counts upon his individual strength and influence to meet the demands of the Government. The period has come when all must aid. New York has not thus far stood back. Ready and more than willing she has 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; that 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 interference of foreign Powers. Present happiness and future greatness will be secured by responding to the present call. Let the answer go back to the President and to our brave soldiers in the field that in New York the patriotic lists of the country's defenders is being augmented. It will strengthen the hands of the one, and give hope and encouragement to the other.

An order fixing the quota of this State, with others. will be immediately issued from the War Department. The details of organization will be in accordance with orders from the Adjutant-General of New York. The State will be districted, local committees will be appointed, and regimental camps established.

In witness whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the privy seal of the State, at the city of Albany, this 2d day [L. S.] of July, in the year of our Lord 1862.

EDWIN D. MORGAN
