A bill has been reported in the Legislature providing for printing, at the close of the war, 25,000 copies of the report of the Adjutant General, 23,000 of which are to be distributed among the townships for sale at fifty cents a copy. An attempt was made the other day in the Legislature to cut down the number to 10,000. We think 25,000 is small enough, judging from the demand for the work in this neighborhood. It will be eagerly sought for and be highly prized by all who are in the army who have friends there.
