A plan of drafting, amounting almost to conscription, had been devised by the Legislature and adopted February 26"", 1781, which proved generally effective. The taxpayers were divided into classes, equal in number to the quota of soldiers required. To each class was assigned the duty of furnishing one soldier, and providing his wages and for his support.
