PROCLAMATION.
By THE GOvERNOl

T the People Of Iosra::
have this day received from the Secretary
of War . telegram requesting me TO raise, az
soon q practicable, for the United States Ser
vice, for three years or during the war, Eve
regiments Of volunteer infantry, being part
of the quota of this State under the late call
Of the President for 300, 900 men. The pres
crvation Of the Union, the perpetuity of our
Government, the honor Of our State demand
that this reqnisition should be promptly met.
Our harvest is upon us, and we have feared q
lack OF force To secure it, But We must imi-
tate our brave Iowa boys in the field, meet new
emergencies with new exertion. Our old men
and our boys, unfit for war; If need be, our
women, must help to gather our harvests while
those able to bear arms 60 forth to aid their
brave brethren in the field. The necessity is
urgent. Our national existence il at stake.
The more promptly the President is furnished
the needed troops the more speedily will this
unholy rebellion he crushed, and the blessings
0f peace again visit our land. Until then we
must expect the hardships and privations of
war. The time has come when men must
make, as many have already made, sacrifices
Of ease, comfort and business, for the cause of
the country.
The enemy, by a sweeping conscription,
have forced into their ranks all men capable
Of bearing arms. Our government has as yet
relied upon the volunteer action Of our citi
sens. But, If need be. the same energies must
be exerted to preserve our government that
traitors are using TO destroy it.
To simplify and systcmize the raising of
these regiments, / have assigned one to each
Of the 1st, 2d, 81 and 4th Congressional Dis
tricts, and one to the 5th and 9th together.
This will prevent interference In recruiting,
and enable those from the same section to 90
70 the field together.
Which District will have its regiment first
In the ields Places of rendezvous for the
different regiments will be designated when
receive notice of their destination. l shall be
necessarily absent for some weeks at Washing
ton. Meantime all information in regard to
the new regiments can be obtained from Ad-
jutant General Baker, at Clinton.

General Orders, No. 10.
The United States Government having made
reQuisition upon this State for more troops, it
becomes the duty Of the people Of Iowa to re-
spOnd promptly to the call.
The 18th Regiment of Iowa Infantry. now
organizing at Clinton, should be Immediately
Allei.
Five additional Regiments of Infantry arc
called for. They are needed Immediately to
maintain the cause of the Union, and TO sup
port our brave brothers in arms, who have
fought So gallantly at Wilson's Creek, Bel
mont, Fort Donelson, New Madrid, Pea
Ridge, Pittsburgh Landing, Corinth, and other
battle fields.
1t is also desired that every Iowa Regiment
now in the field, shall Immediately receive
sufficient additions to ill up its ranks, thinned
by disease and battle.
The Department Of War has issued the fol-
lowing orders
WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsuIEdToN, d. c., l
,uE June 81, 1862.
Pursuant to joint resolution of Congress
to encourage enlstments in the regular army
and volunteer forces, it is
Ordered, That premium of two dollars
shall be paid for each accepted recruit that

and every soldier who hereafter cnlists either
In the regular army the volunteers for

Thus 1t will be seen, ~ the result of recent
enorts' that each new recruit will receive one
months pay in advance
!, If he joins a regiment already in the
field,- I've paid to him Immediately upon his
muster Individually into the service;
=, Ii ne joins new regiment being raised

his overwhelmingly into the service;
?, Ii he joins new regiment being raised
at home,-to he paid to him Immediately

No doubt is entertained that this last pro-
vision will be so modified as to permit the
payment of this bounty to recruits Joining new
regiments, Immediately upon the muster into
service OF their respective companies, thereby
making the provisions for the months ad-
vance pay and tho payment Of the bounty In
advance exactly correspond.
AT the expiration of his term of enlistment,
or on honorable discharge after service of two
years, he will receive further bounty of sew
enty-tive dollars. which, in event of his death.
will be paid to his family.
Applications for Recruiting Commissions
Will be made to this Department Many per.
sons have already applied, but in most cases
the applicants are unknown to the Adjutant
General. Applicants arc requested not to
refer to individuals, rs this Department has
no time to investigate the capacity and char
acter OF persons rendering their services rs re-
cruiting officers In all cases applications for
such commissions must he accompanied by the
Recommendation Of persons well known to
this Department.
There are many able-bodicd citizens of this
State possessing wealth and influence, who,
thus far, have done little or nothing to sus.
tain the flag which protects them. IL ia their
duty to use some small portion of the advan-
tages which they possess, in aiding enlist.
ments else it may become their privilege to
shoulder a muskct in the ranks. 1t should
never be said that the loyal citizens of Iowa
by their negligence or indifference allowed n
draft to become necessary to flll tho rcquisi-
t1ons OF the General Government. The mem
orics of the brave dead who have fallen upon
the many battle fields of the Union forbid
snch stain upon the honor Of the State Let
all contribute of their time, their money and
their influence in generous response to the de-
mands Of the Government.

HE PROSPECTS.

Since Gen. Mcclellan was relieved from the
command Of the army of the Potomac, aud Ger
Buel from the command of the army in Ken
lucky. an increased activity and new life is
everywhere visible in the widely extended I'm
ion Army. Gen. Burnside seems thus far tc
have met the expectations Of all those who an,
sicipated more vigorous and active measures
from the change of commanders.
Once more the cry is "On to Richmond,
and the hope is that Christmas will find oui
grand Army fairly settled III the rebel capital.
The cry this time does not seem to be out OF
place or iIl-timed, nor does it seem to gratt
with SO harsh dissonance upon the nerves Of
our commanders. This time the word has been
given by the commauder-in-chief,a and the Gen
eral in command will obey the order and carry
out the instructions or die in the attempt
Burnside with his grand army has accomplish
ed nearly bali the distance to Richmond, ana
has his plans fixed for the march of the othe
part of the distance. The confidence of the ar
my in the ability, prudence and skill of Gen.
Burnside, Notwithstanding all the evil prog
nostications OF the friends Of Mcclellan, seems
to be perfect, and augurs we'll for the success
Of his first great undertaking. We notice too
that the feeling Of the great mass of the people
is more hopeful than it was.
"On to Richmond" is the cry, and we must
expect soon TO hear of desperate and deadly
| fighting. The rebel force is being massed to
oppose the advancing columns of Burnside, and
the grand battle of she campaign cannot be
long delayed The result of that battle viii
have great influence upon the war. If the
Union forces are defeated, which we will not
| believe possible, the campaign in Virginia
would be virtually closed for the winter. On
the other hand if our forces are victorious, as
we firmly believe they will be, whatever ad-
vantage is gained, will be taken advantage Of
and followed up; and the enemy once routed
will not be allowed to recuperGte and recruit
this side of Richmond And that battle, when
ever it IS fought, wherein the Union forces
| thoroughly route the rebel army of Virginia
will close the hard fighting of this rebellion
The enemy once driven from Virginia will new
I er be able to raise another such an army,
About their whole available material for ar
mics. has undoubtedly been employed.
In the est, Gen. Rosercrans and Gen. Gran
are closely following up the rebel armies a
they fall back, ready at any time to join the i:
sue of arms wher ever they dare to do it. Un
der the united vigilance and activity of thes
two fighting Generals, the enemy will not b
able to transfer any reinforcements from tn
west to the army of Virginia Each depart
ment must therefore depend upon its ow
strength. Gems. Bragg, Price and VanDor
fnd their hands full to take care Of themselves
without going to the assistance of Richmond
this time.
Looking the ground all over, it seems to L
that the prospects Tor the speedy crushing OF
of the rebellion and the restoration Of peace ar
, better than they have been before, since Nc
Clellan retreated from before Richmond.
