for collecting, organizing and drilling vol

each recruit for three years or during the

one fourth Of the bounty allowed by law,
such payment to be made on the mastering

long into the service of the United States.

Thus it will be seen, as the result of re-
cent efforts, that each new recruit will re-
ceive one months pay in advance.
l. If he joins regiment already in the
feld,-to be paid to him Immediately upon
his overwhelmingly into the service; IS
2. If he joins new regiment being raised
at home,-to be paid Immediately on the
muster Of his Company into the service, or

Also, that each new recruit will receive a
bounty of twenty. five dollars in advance.

his muster-individually into the service;
2. If he joins new regiment being raised
at home,-to be paid to him Immediately
upon the muster of such regiment into the
service, or SO soon as q paymaster arrives

No doubt Is entertained that this last pro-
vision will be so modified as to permit the
payment of this bounty to recruits Joining
new regiments, Immediately upon the mus
ter into service Of their respective COM
panies, thereby making the provisions for
the mouths advance pay and the payment
of the bounty in advance exactly CORES

will be made to this Department.. Many
persons have already applied, but in most
cases the applicants are unknown to the

ton of persons we'll koown to this Depart
ment.
There are many able bodied citizens OF
this State, possessing wealth and influence,
who, thus far, have done little or DothiBg
to sustain the flag which protects them. II
is their duty to use some small portion OF
the advantages which they possess, in ard
ing enlistments, else it may become their
privilege to shoulder musket in the ranks.
il should never be said that the loyal citi-
gems Of Iowa, BY their negligence or indif-
ference. allowed draft to become neces-
sary to fll tho requisision Of the General
Government. The memories OF the brave
dead who have fallen upon the many battle,
fields of the Union forbid sucn stain upor
the honor Of the State. Let all contribute
of their time, their money and their inhu'
| ence in generous response to the demands
