be subjected to draft to make up their re-
spectivs quotas Of this call Tor Volunteers.
The same order also provides for draft

that furnishes. ito quota Of this call ia,

Now in addition to the important facts,
that the drafted soldier is not entitled 10
the bounty and advance pay which the
volunteer receives from the Goyerhme At,
and will have no demand on the iberaliIy
Of our citizens in the way Of local boun-
ty, the position Of the volunteer is SO far
superior to that Of the drafted soldier, in
the evidence it affords Of loyalty, courage
and chivalry, all SO grateful to the gen.
erous hearts of the young, in the right
to choose the company in which he
will serve. and above all ins the con.
viction which the spontaneous action o
the people in this matter, will carry tc
