War Department Order on Bounty and Draft Manpower
A government note outlines bounty and advance pay rules for volunteers and new regiments, with deadlines in September. It covers payment for volunteers in existing fields, formation of new units, and consolidation of incomplete regiments. The draft for 300,000 militia commences September 1 at 8 AM, continuing daily until complete, and old regiments must remain in the field if not filled by September 10. The release status of Col. Paine is noted amid confusion from New Orleans reports.

Weighing Blessings Amid War and Pestilence
A Journal of Commerce reflection urges gratitude for abundant harvests and health despite war. It contrasts famine and disease unseen in Providence with the current plenty, warns of imagined shortages, and praises nature’s yields across Washington Market and regional farms. A closing note mentions a poor seamstress's struggle.
Five Thousand Nine Hundred Men Sought for Regiments
War Department advises Governor five thousand nine hundred men are needed to fill old regiments. If not full by September first, a special draft will be levied on counties that have not met quotas from earlier calls. The note is dated Washington August 18.
