Says the Herald: "A draft has been ordered to take place on Monday, September 19, in Ohio and other States whose quota has not been filled up. It is also ordered to be proceeded with, this morning in the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts of this State in accordance with the President's proclamation of July 18."
