WOLCoTT, Aug, 10, 1862
MR EDlTOR,-SIR. IL may give some Of your
readers encouragement to learn what interest
there is taken in this town in our country's
cause. When the call came for 800, 900 voun-
teers, men in town threw down their scythes
and LETT all to the care of others. and went.
Many strong men who had families hurried
from home and with throbbing hearts, but with
defiance in looks, volunteered to meet the foe,
until the number of 33 enlisted, notwthstand-
ing the town was reported in your journal as
only five behind to make up she number.
Last night large number of the citizens IN
convention pledged tho faith Of the town, on
their sacred honor, to give fifty dollars bounty
to The first 10 who should enlist before Friday
morning next at o'clock, agreeing also to pay
the dollars per month to the nine months men
in addition to the bounty unless the State
should assume the liability. And we have but
little doubt that the number will be made up,
and thus save draft, Out Of population Of
1l60 we have already, in round numbers. sew
