49,
In another column will be found Lineoln's
war orders, calling for the prompt filling up of
the late reqUisition for SOC, 900 men to serve dur
ing the war. If this number be not made up by
volunteers, by Friday next, the 18th Of August.
a special draft to be made upon the militia for
the deficiency.
In addition to this multitude, Lincoln calls for
an immediate draft upon the militia for an
other body of like number, to serve for nine
months.
1t is thus seen that six hundred thousand
more soldiers are deemed necessary by Lincoln
to enable him to prosecute the war against us
An army Of 600 900, according to Cameron, and
even more than that, according to other authori-
ties, has been already projected against Us in
vain! The maddened enemy are coming at us
with increased forces. We too, must swell our
ranks accordingly. We have not, indeed, much
to fear from their new leYies. Dragged to a
hated task, raw in discipline, and untntored to
the battles slarms, they cannot stand before our
veterans, and before men fighting for their
homes. Let us then prepare to rush upon them
with zeal and spirit, and they viii be quickly
driven before US.
Let the government, State and Confederate,
gather up all its strength against the new army
and for the new onset. And let every man be
ready to render al the assistance in his power.
Many who are not aud cannot be IN the army.

We think this would be better than calling out

and do not possess the confidence Of the inexpe-
rienced men whom they would lead. Nothing
could afford less promise of usefulness. If,
however, the militia be called out, let them have
the best Of officers, so as to give them conf
dence. Thus led they would fight well.
The times, and the great stake at tissue, require,
and the fame we have already won demands, that
every citizen shall hold himself, and all that he
has, at his country's service, and ready to obey
It's call; while the government and its trusted
officers should wisely and diligently employ the
resources of the country and their own best
skill and energies to bring us cut Of our troubles,
not only victorious, but with as much glory and
as little injury as possible. A few more weeks
