and comfort to this nccursed rebellion.
Let US keep an eve upon tie man who
would by word or deed put straw or

one WHO will assist 10 any way ia putt

is generally conceded that to pu, down
this rebellion effeetuaily il will require
about one-half Of al the men liable to
do military duty in the LOYAL States,
and il requires bat little calculation to
tell how many are required from Rut-

That is the right talk, and We want

in the State.

in all probability the question whether
this government, under which We lire,

without SHINING against God2
Answer US these questions, and
then LET US ask few others. What
are you doing to fill up the new levy
Of volunteers How much pains hav
you taken to secure the enlistment Of
the young men in your employ How
much have you sacrificed Of convent
enre and prosperity TO secure the
wishes Of the government and 10 sup
ply he needs OF the naiions Other
aud manufacturers, in other
cities, have shut their doors At certain
hours in every day, and devoted them,
