To tAs people Of Ohio;
In your efforts to aid the general Gov
ernment in the suppression ofthe Uunah y
raj rebellion now wogod against IL, you
have anticipated the vents OF that Gov
crnment, aud have promptly responded to
whatever demands Il made upon you, as
literally in the expenditure Of treasure
as in furnishing soldiers.
The public service has not languishedI
for one day when yonr resources were
competent 20 meet iis requirements,-
With out regiment Of troops at the o
lpciing Of hostiiiiies, you have sent up
ward Of 10000 men into the field, armed
and equipped. By the magnitude Of your
force you have pssisted the loyal men Of
Kentucky In protecting that State from
the domination Of rebels. The presence
Of your troops and the victories in which
they shared in Western Virginis, have
preserved il for the Union and secured Il
as barricade 5gOinst the threatened in
vasion Of your own soil, thus maintaining
unbroken the peace Of border nearly
! five hundred miles in extent, aud pro-
tectng the heart Of the Republic from
the immediate havoc Of war.
The +, deral Government again ealls
upon you for soldiers.
The lato disaster at Manassas, serious
Rs IL was in many respects to the rebels
has added to their aodocity and nsolcncc.
Encouraged by apparent success, they
have augmented their forces and enhonc-
ed the necessity for vigiltnse aud powCI
at Washington, in Western Virginia and
in Missouri. Twenty-nino regiments OF
infantry, together with a proportionRte
force Of artillery and cavalry are now be-
ing organized in your State
As the Executive Of the State, il be-
comcs my duty TO appeal TO you to perfect
those organizations ns rapidly as possible.
/ invoke you TO give no car to any coun'
sells unlrieudly to the prompt and ciicc-
tive consolidation of the military force
with which the General Government re-
Iqurcs TO repel the threatened assaults oil
ithc enemy and crush the rebellion. II
must be suppressed or the Government IL
subvcrtcd. It's suppression can only be
eflcctcd by vigorous measures ont eparl
Ioi that Government, promptly sustained
Iby the people, animated by positive aud
comprehensive policy.
l coniuro you to give no heed TO any
proposition, under whatever sanction d
may come, for negotiation or compro ais
with armed rebellion. The only condi
ton upon which negotiation can be tol
Grated is the complete surrender of thu
rebels to the National Government, ant
an unqualified return Of their allegiance
to its supreme authority. Without thH
there should be no adjustment, without
there can be no peace. 1t is gratifying
to me to be able to assure you that man.
OF the hardships and priyations to whic
your FIRST levies were subjected, in conse
uucnce of the suddenness of the call an
the unprepared condition of the Govern
ments, Federal and State, will not be en-
countered by your troops now being pre-
pared for the field.
The amplcst arrangements arc mad
for clothing, armiug and equipping ofOu
soldiers. No regiment will be sent from
its camp until it is provided with every
thing essential to the comfort and cflicicr
cy Of its men. Regular payments at in
creased rates ans at short intervals will
, hereafter be made to all the Federal sol
ders, aud with Gllotmonts and bountics
generous provision is proflered for tn,
support of families.
The promptncss ofyourresponse to th'
f previous calls Of the Government is III
assurance that all il now expects Of Ohio
will be Immediately realized by the en-
, rollmcnt Of volunteers enough to com
: plete the regiments being formed.
: A general order will forthwith be issue
/ from the Office of the Adjutant General
f defining the conditions Of the service
the modes Of recruiting and the places o
> rendezvous.
Signed WILLIAM DENEIsoN,
Governor of Ohio.
