TWENTY-FOURTH VOLUME
OF THE
MILWAUKEE SENTINEL
published Daily, Tri-weekIy, Weekly
PROSPECTUS FOR 1862.

PROSF ECIUo FOh lOO~.
The LIST of January will commence new
volume of the SENTINEL. The past year has
been one of severe trial to newspapers while
the demand for news has increased, the means
of support, or, at least, the sources of profit,
have been materially diminished. The pro-
prietors of the SENTINEL take pleasure in ac-
knowledging that their efforts to keep pace
with events in these stirring times lave not
been unappreciated. and the SENTINEL in its
continued endeavors to present its countless
readers with the earliest news, and it's UNI
swerving advocacy of the Union and Consti-
tuition have been acknowledged and sustained
in liberal manner.
In making preparations for the new volume,
we shall enlarge our facilities for obtaining
important war news, and continue, as hereto
fore. to make the Daily, Tri-Weekly, and
Weekly epitomes of the times:
= The eagerness of the public to obtain the
latest information from the seat of war, and
the anxiety of the many thousands, who have
relations and friends in the Union army, to
hear fros the different regiments, have induc-
ed us to make arrangements for ample cores
pondence from all the different points at
which troops from the west may be stationed.
The SENTINEL, as heretofore, it is hardly
necessary to say, will be the firm supporter of
Republican principles, the fearles opponent
of local and national wrong, and the medium
of expression for the Mechanic, the Agricul-
turist, and the Merchant.

Fairfax Court House, March IA.
SOLDIERS: For long time have
kept you inactive, but not without q
purpose. Yon were to be disciplined,
armed, and ins tructed. Tho formidable
artillery you now have lind to be crested.
Other armies were to move and acom-
plish certain results. ] have held you
baek that you might give the death blow
to the rebellion which has disturbed this
once happy country.
The patience you have shown and
your confidence in yolr general are worth
q dozen victories. These preliminary re-
suits are now accom plished. l feel that
the pasient Iabors of MANY months have
produced their fruits. The army of the
Potomac is now real army, magnificent
in material. admirable 10 discipline and
instruction, and exceilently equipped and
armed. Your commanders are all that
/ could wish.
Tho moment for action has arrived,
and | know that | can trust in you to
save our country. As / ride through
your ranks, l sec in your faces the sure
prestige of victory. / feel that you will
do whatever / ask of you. The period
of inaction is past. l will bring you now
face to face with the rebels and only pray
that God may defend the right.
In whatever direction / may move,
however strange my aotious may appear
to YOU, ever bear in mind that my fate
is linked with yours, and that all do is
to bring you where know you wish to
be, on the decisive battle field. 1t is my
business to place you there. l Am to
watch over you as parent over his chill
dren, and you know that your general
loves you from the depths of his heart.
1t shall be my care, as it has ever been,
to give success with the least possible loss,
but know that if it is necessary, you
will willingly follow me to our graves
for our righteous cause. God smilc upon
you, and victory attend you.
Yet / would not have you think that
our aim is to be obtained without q
manly struggle. ] will not disguise it
frorr you, that yoa have brave foes to
encountor, foo-men we'll WORTHY of II Q
steel which you will use so well.
l shall demand from you great and
heroic exertions, rapid and long MARCHES,
desperate comt'ts, aud pr,vations. We
will share all these together, and when
this sad war is over, we vii. rct,,fn to
our homes, and feel that we can ask no
higher honor than the proud conscious
ness that we belonged to the army of
the Potomac.
