dred thousand more men are called for, 10
serSe for nine months. They are to be
drafted at once. The bouuties do not ap-
ply to them. After the 18th inst, but ten
more days, draft isto be made in all
those States where the former 100000
quota IL; not yet made up. All drafted get
no bounty. It is only those who volunteer
who get either the government or the coun-
ty bounty.
This is the way the matter now stands.
Every body will rejoice at the news II
will inspire more buoyancy aud confidence
than a victory. Such news presages GER
tain triumph. We shall soon have seven
hundred thousand three years men in the
field, aud they will not be nominally inthe
field either They will all be ready to go
where they are needed, for the three hun
dred Thousand nine months men are to hold
the captured places aud take the shoes of
q those now doing police duty. ~
We shall have no moro trifing; no more
playing at war We shall have one round
million of men. Who will say that these
will not put the rebellion dOwn7 Two
thirdsiof them can crush out the conspi-
racy without another blow. 1t is numbers
and numbers only, that we want now. The
z rebels know our men will fight. They have
gained that dear experience. Had we had
equal numbers with them before Richmond,
they never would have attacked US. Our
retreat and all our losses on the Peninsula
arc attributable solely to the fact that the
Government had not done its duty; had
not called out enough men; had stopped
recruiting. Mcclellan bad all the men

half enough. But'now we shall see things
different. In deed and truth 1--WE have

feat.n The rebels can never make stand
against such stupendous army, the great
est of modern times. Its moral weightwill
oVershadow the rebellion. Its huge pro-
portions will cast shadow black as night
over the whole land of secessia.
The Government has just completed ar
Engagements to manufacture one hundred
thousand Springfield rifles per month. 1t
has contracted for immense supplies of the
sharps' eight shooters, new patent. 1t is
casting cannon by the thousand, the finest
pieces of ordnance the world ever saw. 1t
has obtained all the newest projections in
small arms ard sent them to contract at
the lowest figures. What have the rebels
to oppose to all these2 Tell US what,
sympathizers with the rebellion

its weight Our army will be fed at a great
ly reduced rate. The wagons will not have
to be bought over again. We have not all
our tents and tens of thousands of mules
and horses and the thousand and one ex-
penses of last year to incur. To be sure
the expense will be great-great as ever
yet aud perhaps greater-but it will be
small relatively, and then it will not last
long. This rebellion will be crushed out
by New Years day. Mark the words. How
