MAJOR GENERAL ROSECRANsg
c. CONAN, Assistant Adjutant General
Those who walk only by sight, and not
by faith, have thought because this slave
holders rebellion was not put down IN six
months OF year, that there was no uss
trying any longer, and some have become
weary in Wen-doing, whilst others in the /
North have openly and others covertIy
sought to dishearten the men who are now
engaged in this death struggle with the
slave power, and think that our means are
not adequate to the work, while others, al
though loyal themselves, look with disfavor
upon the COnscription law Of Congress.
Il is clearly every mans duty to assist Il
in the maintenance Of his Government.
Let US look at the strength OF the Union
forces which viii be brought out and made
available by that law. According to the
census Of 1860, there were over 4,5OO,O 900
Sighting men in the loyal portion Of the
kepubic, between the ages Of eighteen
sud forty-fVe, and in the disloyal but lit
tle over half q million white soldiers, be-
tween those ages.
It may safely be set down that we have
more fighting men in the great free North
thsn the whole white population Of all the
FOoel States, men, women and children put
'agether. With these facts before us who
you'd despond. Friends Of the Union,

Love for country should now overshadow
every other feeling, and he is no patriot
