Tbs Call for More Troops The Inducements
to Enlist.

I. view Of the call for 300, 900 moro troops
:. NAV he useful to 50, before the public, IN add
tim Ia tn. patriotism which is presumed to an
im.te every one, the pecuniary Inducements
which are now held out by tho General uoV'fn
msn, and the State of Vermont to all who snail
volunteer in the service of their Country
I The United States Government makes the
i following assurance to every volunteer ("hch
we CODY from the recon, proclamation OF noV.
Andrew of Massachu.etts)
Each new recruit will receive
ONE MONTH 8 PAY IN ADVANCE,
|, if he Joins n regiment already in the held,
to be paid to him immediately upon his muster
individually into the service ;
9, if he Joins new regiment bsing raised at
home, to be paid immedatel y On the muster OF
his company into the service.
A lso each new re;~uit will receive
A BOUNTY OF TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS IN ADVANCE
|. If he Joins d regiment already in the field,
to be paid to him immediately upon his muster
individually into the service.
2. II he Joins new regiment being raised at
home, to be paid to him Immediately upon the
muster of such regiment into the service
No doubt is entertained that this last pro-
vision will be 80 modified rs to permit the pay
ment OF tins bounty to recruits joining new reg
iments, Immediately upon the muster into ser
vice Of their respective companies, thereby max
iny the provisions for the month advance pay
and the payment OF the bounty in advance ex-
actly correspond.
These measures, therefore, secure to each re-
cruit at least THIRTYEIGHr DOLLARS IN CASH,
IN ADVANCE before he marches from the Com
Observation-Disclosures dollars advance pay, TWEEN
ty. i've dollars bouuty-to enable him to provide
umporarlly Tor his family, while he obeys the
call OF his country,
At the expiration Of his term OF enlistment,
or upon his honorable discharge from the ser
vice, he will receive IL FURTHER BOUNTY OF sEy-
ENrY-fIvE DOLLARS, which, in event OF his death,
will b. paid to his family
II. The Commonwealth OF Vermont pays
every soldier in the service, in It's regiments,
sEvEH DOLLARS MONTH.
1t alsJ makes provision Cor the support Of the
families of those who enlist, out OF the treasury
OF the State.
1t has been often and truly said that no State
IN the Union has been 50 generous with her sol
diers as Vermont, giving them the seven dollars
Per month, which no other State gives, in addi
ton to the support OF needy families OF the
absent soldiers. The State has already done
well. She has answered promptly every de-
manl made upon her. But more il asked and
more should be given, RS freely and generously
as we have given treasure and blood heretofore.
Many Vermonters have given up their lives on
the Peninsula in this new war for freedom. The
living may be lighting now, fighting against
odds, and dying without assurance OF victory,
because traitors outnumber them. Shall We
suffer it longer to be 80 Sh.ll the war be pro
longed one -FOUR, or victory suffered one day TO
hang doubtfulIy in the balance, because more
Vermonse,s are needed in the field Let our
response to the Presidents call IN the natlons
extremity MAKE answer for US.
