Of slavery in the District os Columbia had

weeks there were estimated to be loo

Call for Recruits to fill up Illinois

a proclamation has been issued By Gov
Yates calling FOR large number of addi-

To the People of the State Of Illinois. Greeting:
a am this day called upon by Major
General Halleck, in conformity with an
order from the War Department of the
United States, to furnish recruits to fill up
the volunteer regiments from the State Of
Illinois. Many ofour Regiments entered
the field with numbers scarcely above the
minimum. These have nobly done their
duty, and many of them have purchased
lasting honor with the price of their lives,
and it remains only for US to maintain
what they have achieved, and therefore
call upon the people of Illinois to raise
men in every precinct Of the State for tn e
regiments that were sent from their own
sections, to fill up their own companies.
. Relying upon the same patriotism that
has thus far furnished brave and noble
host at the shortest notice, | send forth
this proclamation and confidently expect
a prompt response that will maintain the
pi esent glory of our State.
