Body
Recruiting has been going on briskly in some of the Districts in this county within the last few days. A number of the Districts have filled their quotas, whilst several have a surplus of volunteers. The Hagerstown District, we understand, lacks but three men of having its full complement, and probably by this time it is complete. Quite a number of “Afric’s sable sons” enlisted in this town and have gone off to the war.
