There Is no question now occupying

than that Of rean istment. In April,

We admit that our soldiers require
rest that there are private and personal
necessities which demand attention /; that
there are officers unpopular with the men,
who neither understand nor appreciate
the high trust confded to their keeping
but what are these considerations when
confronted With the terrible fact that your
departure from the army will, as certain
as the sun shines, be the signal Of an on
slaught which may terminate in shaue'
fnl and unnecessary defeat, and train
Of future disasters. Let not oar brave
men now in the fold hug too closely to
their bosoms the snpposition that others
will be found to take their places. 1t is
delusion. Raw recruits doubtless will
flock to our standards, hut who knows
better than you-the present volunteer

ordeal Of training you underwent before

nnteer "an fill vour places and do your
work is as prcpos'erons as to believe that
Divine Providence will drop upon earth
in the flesh Of legion Of guardian angels.
In view Of these facts. we urge upon
our troops whose term Of service is about
to expire, the importance Of a. once re.
enlisting, and Of preserving, as far as
possible the existing company and reei
mental organizations. The man who
leaves the ranks when his country has
such great need Of him, will commit
