The Memphis union appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-08-09

Our dispatches this morning will be read
with more than usual interest. The Presi-
dent, in an official order, has called for a draft
of three hundred thousand men for service in
the United States Army for nine months, I'M
less sooner discharged. This levy is in addi-
tion to the three hundred thousand volunteers
recently asked for, and it is directed that if in
any State the quota of men for three years or
during the war is not raised voluntarily by
the 18th of tho present month, special draft
is 10 be made to fill up that contingent also.
The apportionment of the different States is to
be made Immediately by the Secretary of War.
Altogether we suppose Missouri's share will be
fifteen or sixteen regiments.
With an. additional army of six hundred
thousand in the field, it ceartainly ought not
to take nine months to close the war. The
President is evidently determined to make the
conflict "short, sharp and decisive against the
rebels, and to put all thought of successful
foreign intervention in their behalf entirely
out of the question.-!St. Louis Republican,,

The system of guerrilla warfare now being
prosecuted by some troops organized under
authority of the so-called Southern Confed-
eracy, and others without such authority,
being so pernicious to the welfare of the
community where it is carried on and il 1e-
ing within the power of the community TO
suppress this system, it is ordered that wher-
ever loss is sustained by the Government,
collections shall be made, by seizure of
sufficient amount of personal property, from
persons in the immediate neighborhood sym
pathizing with the rebellion, to remunerate
the Government for all loss and expense of
ton.
Persons acting as guerrillas without organi-
cation, and without uniform to distinguish
them from private citizens, are not entitled to
the treatment of prisoners of war when
caught, and will not receive such treatment.
