Lay down the axe; ding By the spade;
Leave in its.tasok tho toians pillow;

rs Leave in its.taaok tho toilng pillow;
The rife and the bayonetblsds,
For arms like yours we're litter now.
We yesterday hintsd that thsss is still room
and plenty of II, in the old reginests, for I'll
vho would volunteer for tho defense Of The
country. We wish again to urge prompt action
O the part Of al who desire . enjoy the ID
vantsses Of volunteer IN the armies of The
Union. When the draft comes he chance fol
volunteering Win be past The Government viii
cease to pay bounties when Il resorts to the
.snsans which secures soldiers without them
After the third Of septenber It viii rely o. ths
draft 70 al up the ranks Of the old regiments q
call - to GIL the requiition for nine months
mon.
We urge Ill Who have he disposition, to oct
apen II ct once. If you mean 70 defend the
country BY your strong right arm, do not longer
delay action. Nes 10 the acceptable time. In
fan days you will be TOO late. Nov, you can
choose your regiment Now you can sslsct The
company, even, which you may prefer. You
en- hass your choice among III the regiments
and companies which, BY their gallantry, have
done henor to our State. You can 30 among
ysur friends your neighbors and acquaintances,
those who viii greet you with hearty welcome,
and gladly teach and aid you in al the duties Of
. soldier. You can also now secure liberal
bounty, advance pay, and . position where your
presence and energies will do the STATE great
servica You can have place among the
heroes Of Belmont, Henry, Donelson, Shiloh, or
Pea Ridge,-whsre you will learn soon 70 think
che honors there achieved are partly ysur own,
and in all future contests you will enter the
battle field BY the ide Of those whose courage
and daring have besn proved BY the ordeal Of
hattie and not found wanting.
All these are great advantages. They should,
xe think, prove sufficient to induce enough
volunteers to entsr the old regiments to at once
an. chem to repletion. We think they should
have been filed first Of Il, that before single
new regiment Vas organized, the old should have
been supplied with the maximum number Of
stalwart men. At companions for the glorious
soldiers who have already made the name Of
iowa immortal A it 4, however, there il
abundant time to remedy the mistake. The
sonipg week d long enough to enable those Who
wish TO psrtske Of future honors, to put them
selves IN the right place. Who would not wish
70 b one Of The glorious Seventh, or the Second
OF The Ninth, In het any Of the Iowa Regiments
uho havs locked into Tie booming mouths Of
rebel canseai Let al such improve their OPP
portunity. The old resinsnts sze infinitely he
best places for new msn. Hare they can most
sasily learn III their sdstiss; here Tie officers
have ct laxs acquired krovledgs Of their obi
