The Inducements for RnliasinE.
Let nc enumerate some OF the obvious in
dueemeRts for men of the right character to
immediaiely enroll themselves In the ranks
OF the loyal srmy.
l. Pay. As we have often said, our
troops, and especially our privates, are bet
Ter paid than those OF any other army In the
world,
II. Their food, clothing, arms, tsntage,
end hospital Punishment are now equal 70
the average Of European armies, and in all
these particulars they will soon be equal and
in some respects superior TO the best Of them.
III. A steady improvement is going on in
the material Of regimentEl and line oficeu.
Voluntary designations, and the expurgation
consequent upon the action of Examining
Boards, will soon rid the army Of titled ig-
norance, imbecility, and inexperience.
IV. The different arms OF the service are
being better apportioned than hsretOfore.--
We are getting q fair supply Of cavalry, while
the complement Of Geld artillery will soon be
immense. We learn that the Government
has had and is row having constructed more
thsu q, 900 gun-carriages for held batteries.
y. The hot season Is passing away, and
the bracing breezes Of October are close up
on U.S. AnELuGE4 HEA ALNE AGnA AEAllAa-Ah
to cross the Pot0mac and move down the
Mississippi, during the summer solstice. But,
with a genial season before them, which
viii expand into long, lingering September
as they march southwark, they should now
step forward with alacrity TO enrol their
names in the advancing columns.
VI. Other employments are becoming
precarious. The harvest is over. Mechan-
/ ical pursuits are dull Merchants are out Of
business. Mariners find nothing to do. A
hard Northern winter is approaching. The
| Government Is ready to furnish work tor
hall million, yea, three-fourths Of q million,
of men. As mere business employment,
the army will afford the best that can be
found by hundreds of thousands, until the
war is over. And such arrangements about
pay are now being perfected as will enable
the volunteer to keep his family comfortable
while he is away fighting for his country.
VII. Hencefcrward we believe that high
minded soldiers will not be compelled to per-
form any service incompatible with the dig
nifty Of adefender Of q the Flag OF the Free"
| Public sentiment has declared that our citi-
zen soldiery shall not be set to the degrading
work ofcatching and returning the runaway
/ slaves of rebels; that the execution Of the
Fugitive Slave Law is no part Of the duty Of
the army and that property in slaves, when
belonging to traitors, is not more sacred than
their other property.
VIII A more buoysnt and hopeful tone of
feeling begins to pervade the public mind in
regard to the ultimate success Of our arms,
We oil feel that the cause Of the Union and
the Constitution must win in the end. And,
therefore, for the sake Of the great cause,
and irrespective of all minor Inducements,
our hardy youth, and our abls-bodied men
of matursr years, should rush to the ranks.
TX. But, the men must be had And il
they cannot be obtained BY voluntary enlist
ment, the country must resort to drafting
This had already commenced in Iowa when
it was countermsnded. Other States may
have to follow her example, though we hope
not Atall events, we suggest to those who
in that event, would be liable to be called
to the field, that they should do all in theii
power to promptly swell the ranks of the
army up to the necessities of the sXigency- -
