/ Congress ought to b. placed in the field at tn
| earliest possible day. Let us pareiy mint
some of the inducements T. at shouio inlpei ioya
men to promptly enroll them5 elves III the Army
of the Union:

Nation, the ma ssnance of free insttu, ''on'' anu
the protection Of oqr homes and property. Ia
triotism, lore of liberty, and self-preSeryah' h'
call to arms.
ii. Our common soldiers, under the recent act
Of Congress, are better paid than those of any
other nation.
III. The ratIons provided for our troops have
been recently Increased. They are now more
liberal than thOss given to any ether army in the
world.

this tine onward, k5 of an excels- quality.
The reign of "shOddy" is over.
V. Camp ePpage and hospital fer lei nent
are being placed on the very best fOo,l g. All
the modern improvements to secure the eo'ufort
and health Of the men are being adopt d

and effective patterns.

VIII. Special care is being taken to rlace mono

TX. The Autumn, With its healthy sun and
bracing breczes has arrived. The Su,Emer sol.
stce deferred tens Of thousands Of Northern
citizens from following their flag INFO the su'try
rebel States. From this time onward. for the
coming eight months, the country below the
Potomac and tho Ohio, will, to OF Northern
troops, be one long, genial autumn.

In short, our army should be doubled immedi-
ately. The strongest inducements exist for in
creasing its numbers to the extreme point of the
public necessities. Only two methods can be re-
sorted to Cor filling its Misunderstanding and |
drafting. Volunteers make good soldiers. They |
give heart as well ~ arm to the service. Draft. |
ing, ike the European CONSUMPTION, is always |
odiOus, and ofttimes operates severely upon in. |
dividunls and clsSses. We trust there may be |
no necessity for adopting it, But, If we would |
crush the rebellion and save the Unioa, the army
must be speedily enlarged 1t is for the interest |
of all who are liable to be drafted into the ser
vice, to see to it that volunteering goes rapidly |
forward all over the lOyel North. 1t Is the duty |
of all men, aud all women, who love their cOun-
try, 70 encourage by every means in their power |
the prompt swelling Of the ranks of the army up |
to the highest pitch authorized by Congress.
