Through the sturdy West and the stawnrt North;
Let sweep through the prairies the martial strain
Till its echoes resound from the hills again
From all points on tho lines of our be-
sieged border, from Western Virginia, from
Kentucky, from Tennessee, from Missouri,
the call, the earnest appeal comes up to the
loyal men who still remain at home in the
undisturbed enjoyment of their property and
homes, -" MORE MEN ARE WANTED-are
wanted immediately" Ever since this trea-
son and rebellion raised its horrid and wick
ed hand against the Flag and Government
of the United States, treason and rebellion
under the lead Of JEFF Davis and his satanic
crew has had the largest number of armed
men arrayed under its reasonable banners.
Wherever JEFF Davis orders were respected
and enforced whether respected or not, ALL
men capable of bearing arms, were forced
into his rebel ranks. Thousands of strong
arms and loyal hearts to-day are through
fear and compulsion numbered among his
followers, hoping, praying for the hour of
their dcliverance. Wherever there has
been conflict of more than minor impor-
tance, since the first gun was fred at Sum-
ter, there the rebels have largely outDum-
bered the Federal forces, and with better
supplies Of all kinds. But the day of these
inequalities has passed. The people of the
free and united North begin to realize
that war has been made upon the Govern
mcnt upon them. They are now bestiring
themselves for its safety and perpetuity.-
The army and its appointments which they
are now marshaling, is unlike any the sun
ever sbone upon. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific, from the White Mountains and the
great chain of lakes to the southernmost
limits of loyalty the CLEAN of the "firey
cross" has been seen and the cry of the
herald heard, and
Burst be the ear that fails to heed,
Palsied the foot that shuns to speed"
at the nations call, in an hour like this.
All may not, CANNOT go into the army.
Many can and ought to go who do not. 1t
is cheering TO the heart of the patriot, that
men are flocking to the standard and though
adversities and repulses have met us hereto
fore, complete and brilliant victory is to be
achieved by our forces, and the supremma-
cy of our laws maintained.
Kentucky now calls on Ohio to assist her
in driving back the rebel invader. Her
condition is critical. Already Ohio has
sent her several thousands of men, yet there
is urgent need of more. Those who have
gone there are in danger of being over
whelmed by superior numbers, and they
should be strengthened at once. In view
of this urgent demand for "more men," R.
p. Buckland of this town has accepted the
order to form the I'D Regiment, to camp
and rendezvous here. The work of enlist
ment is going on throughout the county,
and we may say with prospect of speedy
success. All who can 60, should. Those
who cannot go should use all their influence
to persuade others to fill up this regiment.
Let it never be said that at Fort Stephen
son, where Kentuckians periled their lives
and achieved gallant victory over our own
and their foes a regiment of men could not
be raised to succor them in the day of their
calamity and desperate need.
Two or three recruiting officers are open
in Fremont, and opportunity for enlistment
into this regiment is offered in almost ev-
cry settlement in the county.
Young menl to the front; sird your armor on,
And stand by the aag till the cause be won,
Come forth from the labor Of garnered 6elds
And never return till the foemAn yields.
