nary camp.
1t will be seen by the following article
from the New York Tribune, of the 11th |
inst, that there is a necessity for the
whole North to keeome Military Camp.
Recruiting does not 90 on as fast as it
should We have not men enough in
the field-=in fact We shall not have
enough until We have at least a MILLION
OF MEN. Instead of having one soldier
for every forty inhabitants, we should
have one for every TWENTY inhabi-
tants. The rebellion wagcd against the
Government must he put down, but it
will take both men and monevt to do it.
Our property is in danger-it viii Be
worth nothing, comparatively speaking,
should the rebels get a hold of any p0r-
ton of the North. If we wish oar prop
erty protected, We can only have it done
by volunteering tc defeud it. If we are
too old or too inffm to 90 to war or do
military duty, let us contribute literally
Of the abundance Col hath given us to-
wards supporting our army. Every man
who is able to bear arms should consider
it his duty TO volunteer to defend his
country. Let there be no halting or way
ering, but let every man, whether rich or
poor, who can do 50, step right into the
ranks and perform military duty.
