for exemption a large number of justices of the peace and other county officers, and am pained to believe that the duty imposed upon them has not been efficiently discharged; and I am, therefore, bound to declare that, if this apathy and negligence continue, I shall feel it my duty to revoke many of the certificates which I have already granted, in order that such officers may be required to take the places of the delinquents whom, by their negligence, they have failed to restore to their several commands. The State must have the services of her able-bodied men, and delinquents must be brought back to their duty, or those neglecting to arrest them must take their places. I call upon all officers to read the law which I have partly quoted, and see to it that it is rigidly enforced. Given under my hand at Richmond, and under the seal of the Commonwealth, this 12th day of September, 1864. Teste: William Smith. George W. Munford, Secretary of the Commonwealth. se 17--3t
