"The whole number of men required to fill all calls to the present time is 964 ; whole number of credits up to October Ist, 1863, was 689 ; from October 1st. 1863, to September, 1864, is 121; and total credits, $10; total delicit of county. 154. Of this number there is due from the several sub-districts of this county as follows: Sub-district 72, Essex and Toulon. 34: 13. Elmira and Osceola, 36; 74. Valley and Penn, 53 : and 75, Goshen and West JJersey, 31.
" The undersigned would further report the credits allowed up to October 1st. 1863, are distributed among the different regiments of this state, as follows, to wit: 12th Regiment Illinois Infantry. 1; 16th, 1 ; 17th. 2: 19th, 107: 33d, 19: 37th, 58: 38th, 1 : 46th, 6: 47th.

I was unable in my brief stay to ascertain in what regiments these last named have enlisted.
"About one hundred men (estimated) residents of this county, have enlisted in different regiments and have been eredited to other counties. This has resulted from several causes : Sometimes from carelessness on the part of the men enlisting in not giving their residence, and perhaps on the part of recruiting officers, who were desirous to obtain credits for their own connties, and sometimes from misrepresentation on the part of the men enlisting in order to obtain the local bounties offered by other connties. I was informed by Adjutant General Fuller that

in every case the men were credited to the counties where they actually resided at the time of their enlistment whenever that could" be ascer- tained : and from such examinations as I was able to make while there. I am satisfied that his statement is correct. and that no pains have been spared by him to do justice to every county.
" For instance. I was acquainted with several men in the 72d and 55th regiments in which we have no credits, and on an examination of the muster-rolls of said regiments I found Robert Hohnes, Scepter Hard- ing, Darsie Heath, Jacob Galley and Jasper Morris reported from Chi- eago, and Miles Avery from Cook county, and Lester Coggswell. Joseph (. Hiner and George W. Eckley from Bushnell, MeDonough county. and George Witter, without any residence given. So of other regi- ments. Our men have enlisted and are credited to other counties in consequence of the errors of the muster roll.
" My thanks are due to General Fuller, and to Hon. Newton Bate- man of the Provost Marshal's office, who extended to me every cour- tesy and gave me all the assistance in their power.
" I would recommend to the board that some time during the coming winter, when the present press of business at the Adjutant General's office shall be past, that an agent be sent to examine the records and get the names of all persons who have enlisted from this county. Let a roll of honor be kept.
" All of which is respectfully submitted. MILES A. FULLER."
