Three More Regiments from
Northwestern Ohio---Indncements 20
Vnlnnaaaea-

TuR FFrY SEVENTH RKuMEST.-Efforts
are now making here to recruit the 9th
regiment Colonel Mungen has obtained
an order 10 that effect There is now n
good chanCc for our patEiotic citizens, who
have not yet enlisted, to do something for
their country, in her hour of need. A mum
Der ol persons are at work getting up COM
ranics and as the demand for troops H0U
Is very great. the sooner they are raised the
better. Let there hc no hcsitancy in this
matter The country calls and let patriots
respond promptly We are informed that
an order has been obtained for putting into
camp and subsisting the soldiers thus rails
ed. Let the friends of the Union and Con-
stituton come to the FiHdloy JcE
fe,SORiom.
The above reminds us tlat there are two
other regiments in the northwest, now
ordered to fill up--ono at Fremont and one
Mt Toledo. This may seem a large draft,
after what has already been done, but we
are free to say we believe it can he done,
and more too, if necessary. Therefore,
having the material. we wish to submit u
few Inducements, drawn from authentic
sources, for the consideration of our young
men who may not have carefully investigat-
cd the subject Of cnlsting in the United
States Army:
Suppose II private to have served one
year, and that being the end of the war, his
account with the government reduced to a
cash raiadtioa would stand about thus
For I 2 months pay nt sl3 per month.'.n $3.50 90
For Communication for clothing 80 AZ %
For " " ratons: Sl2 lii 90
For Bounty '''s ...' ...... 100 90
For grant Of 100 acres of land (in prospecD
valued, say at........, l60 90
Total for the year. ''''''''''' $GO2 OO
There are other considerations involved
which we have not enumerated in the above
statement. The act Of Congress approved
July 22d, 1861, provides that Every volun
tccr, non-conmissioned officer, private, mu
siCiun and artiIiccr who enters the service
of the United States under this act shall be
paid ut tho rate of fifty cents in lieu o
Subsistence; and if u cavalry volunteer
twenty-five cents additional in lieu of for
age for every twenty miles travel from hit
and when honorably discharged an allow
uncc at the same rate from the place of hi
discharge to the place of his enrolment"
Moreover, in regard to pensions for th,
wounded, and provision for the widows o
soldiers killed in battle, and in every othc
essential particular, the entire voluntcc
force is placed upon an equal footing will
the regular army.
Should tlW future progress of our nation
al affairs, during the coming fall and winter
induce an overwhelming enlistment of re
cruts, to such an extent M to insure tn
termination of the war, within the period o
three or six months from the present writing
it must he borne in mind 10y the soldier tina
his bounty of $l00 in cash, already provid
! ed, and 60 acres of land, which will prob
ably be granted at the coming session o
Congress, will remain the same. The libcr
ality of the Government TO its armies is I'm
cQualcd in the annals of the world.
Above all things lofty sense of patriot
| ism should animate the ranks of the volun
tCcrs. There are considerations in reference
to the protection and preservation of on
free institutions far above the measurement
of gold, to inspire the Union soldicry. tn
war is upon us--thcrc is no time for supel
tuous controversy. Tho position of tn
Union armies is purely defensive; occasion
al rcverscs, of course, must be expected
/ they are incidental to all vars but victor
is certain in the end; truth and correct polil
ical principles are invincibc - they ar
bound to conquer. 1t is too late in the da
for the rebel conspirators to erect govern
ment upon the exclusive basis of slavery
made a sad mistake in natural philosophy
They built up the delusivc dream of tn
Southern Coniederacy upon the false supp,
sltlon that II white man with Il negro upo
his back in the slave States, was equal, i
commerce and arms to the free men of tn
| North. The mistake was fundamental an
will prove fatal. In every possible vic'
that can hc taken of the rcbclion it is Il
uWuSlillahlc outrage upon the rights OF ma
and the cause of civil liberty. II is impo
sihlc for Il slave government to arise on Il,
ruins of our Constitution, without con
promise and important forfeiture of its pril
ciplcs.
Tho contest is narrowed down to simp
proposition, to-wit: shall the Govcrnmcl
and Constitution of the United States |
suhvertcd by force of arms? The ncgatiy
answer will be written in history 10y twel,
