By special assignment of the President
Of the United States, have assumed
command Of this army. [ have spent
two weeks in learning your whereabouts,
your condition and your wants, in pre-
pairing you for active operations and in
placing you in position from which you
can act promptly and to the purpose. /
have come to you from the West, where we
have always seen the backs Of our enemies;
from an army whose business has been to
seek the adversary and to beat him when
found; whose policyallas been attack aud
not defence. In but one instance has the
enemy bscn able to place our Western
army in defensive attitude. ] presume
that have been called here to pursue the
same system and to lead you against the
enemy. 1t il my purpose to do 50, and
that am sure YOU long for an opportunity
to win the distinction yeu are capable Of
achieving. That opportunity shall en-
deavor to give you, and in the meantime
! desire you to dismiss from your minds
certain phrases which | am sorry to find
much in vogue amongst you. hear con-
stantly Of taking strong positions and
holding them, of lines of retreat and Of
bases Of supplies. Let US discard such
ideas. The strongest position q soldier
should desire to occupy is one from which
he can most easily advance against the
enemy. Let US study the probable line Of
retreat Of our opponents and leave our
own to the care of ITSELF Lot us look be-
fore US. and not behind Success and
victory are in the advance; disaster and
shame lurk in the rear. Let us oct on
this understanding and it il safs to me-
dict that your banners shall b inscribed
with many glorious deeds, and that your
names will be dear to your countrymen
forever. lSignedl JNO. POPE,

now TO RAISE TROOPS.

Ahe peru oi the country is Imminent,
and our forces are too weak to hold their
ground, let alone max @ advances on the
enemy. MeClellan's army needs very
large reinforcement to enable il to take
Richmond, and they are needed at once.
Hunter can do nothing without more men.
Butler is constrained to remain stationary
in New Orleans, and Curtis is put ON the I
defensive.
Three hundred thonsa nd men are need
ed, aud needed now. to save what we have
gained, and to prevent the enemy from
making advances on US. They mast be
checked Mt once. The tide Of War must be
rolled southwark, and, our oonqusring
legions must oyerwhelm the enemy at ev-
cry point within the next three months,
or We shall be embarrassed with foreign
complications, and an endless war.
The Governor has called for Eve reci-
ments in this State. There is an out
standing call already, for one regiment,
which was issued some two months ago,
and at last accounts bu; three hundred
volunteers had responded; nor do we see
any better prospect for the i've than there
seemed to be for one regiment.
The truth il the patriotism Of the coun-
try has already vindicaied itself in the en-
thnsiasm which flled the previous calls.
Men have come to understand that this is
war which We are wsging. and not mere
sixty days instruction. and SO regarding
1t, they begin to think that all are alike
interested in maintaining the Government
and lighting the battles of the country
And moreover there are not many of those
who are disposed to fight for the country
that caa be spared from their bones and
their business unless the call upon them
is imperative; while there are thousand,

never will fight for their country unles.

the Government.
In view OF the pressing need of soldiers
1t once. and Of the little probability Of OBJ

ing, The proprie'y Of drafting ought to be
considered.

and read about him. In fact, Wickliffe
is an old stager, and was in Congress sew

rise and fall of several great Kingdoms,

to say nothing of Wellington under the
apple tree. had he only been near enough.
But he wasn't. Nevertheless. Wickliffe
had long been alive and kicking at that
important jnncture. So he is entitled to
respect. A man who was living before
