throughout the country by tho last call for
600, 900 men to be enrolled forthwith. There |
is to be no delay to await yoluntee1ins, but |
a short interim is to be allowed to form
companies and regiments by such means,
when draft will take plsce and by one !
process fill up the ranks to the required
standard, and that with able bodied, ser
Viceable men, for no others will be accept
ed. This applies to the call tor 100000 |
men for three years As to the other cali OF
q like number Of militia to serve for nine |
months, there are no provisions made for
enlisting these, but they are to be taken by
oonscripuon.
The first and general effect Of the call il
one Of satisfaction throughout the commu-
nifty. Every one who has watched impa-
tiently the slow progress toward the adop-
ton Of 8 vigorous policy, rejolces at the
proof that the government means War and
the determination Of its enemies. The peo.
pie rejoice that our armies are no
more to be sent out in small numbers
to sufter from the advantage offered 10 q
superior force Of the enemy, an advantage
too eften given them in the course Of this
WAT thus far.
We are hereafter to have men enough
This call means that the government is to
draw from full reservoir and not scantily.
The people are graifed also at the ezhibi-
| ticn before the world Of the consciousness
Of power in our government. 1t has the
ability to command the services Of its cii-
zens. 1t has not alone to rely upon the
caprices Of popular enthusiasm, but on the
| duty Of the citizen to the State. It brings
home 10 every man his personal responsi-
biliiy as member OF society, and most
sharply suggests to the individual that he
has personal share in the safety and ruin
ofthe nation. 4 few may sneak away to
find beyond the border the e2emp-
ton Of the coward, but these will comprise
| an Insignificant share ofthe people. 1t was
time that this call should be made, such
has been the rush Of persons from
less loyal sections to frd homes in the
North, Volunteering would have, from its
very principle, given these men safe and
easy exemption. The draft comes to lay
the hand cf tie government upon all these
ave want your help, and yours" aud The
mask falls, the traitor stands exposed, o.
he takes his place in the ranks to do citi
zen's duty.
The people are pleased that this pro
cess has begun. They recognize the fair
peEs Of system that lays the heavy bur
dens Of the WAT equally upon all who havt
shared the benefits Of our institutions
snd who are directly interested ii
