Offering Inducements 10 RE-
CTuifs.
The President has called for SEQ, 600
more men to supply the place OF those
whose time expires the coming summer
TAma County's share Of that number i
about 10. Shall they be raised or shall
We submit to the disgrace Of draft !:
This is the question If ;he day and one
which we should answer Immediate,
by prompt action in efforts to fill on:
quota We have but one month left in
which to do it. Can it be donc? We
answer it can, by the Identical arrli
ances used in raising men in other
places. We must offer much greater
bounty than we have heretofore offered
Oar patriotism must not be bounded
by dimes and bali dimes, nor the depth
Of our generosity measured BY a few
hard pressed dol ars. The country is
still to be saved; it takes men and
money to do it, ana the former IS mu II
harder to obtain than the latter and
only by the aid OF the latter can thew
be obtained.
The question is reduced 10 this: We
now have but little any doatiDg popu
la.ion which by excitement and word
appeals we can induce TO enlist. This
method Of raising solic.s is already
exhausted; that i, this means alone
will MT answer, il mus. be accompanied
~ something more tangible some
thing in the shape Of money. Many Of
cur people who are half inclined to en-
list cannot afford 10 make the sacrifice
in their business, which they would be
obliged to make Il they enlisted wi,hnu,
compensation from some source. We
will not eluciaate this point. c,cry one
comedies it. But while all must m Ike
some sacratices, some viii make far lees
than others, and it is this class WHO
wonil make the least sacrifices that We
should induce TO cnlissby Offering sheN
sufficient bounty. Those who wish
10 remain at home should freely not be-
grulng!s, diced at their purse if they
will no, at their veins to compensate
those who 60 to Fl Git tie batiles Of our
common country.
We are glad to sec that move is
beiag made to convene the Board Of
Supervisors for this purpose. We hope
they Will be assembled at the earliest
day and make 4 generous rpropriation
t. those who Will enlist. We wish 70
sec no stintea patriotism when as
semb,ed. Let them make A large APP
Iaorria;ion. The times, the occasion,
the existing state Of the country de-
manls it. Nothing less than q 500
offered to each recruit. ii addition to a
provision Of care for ,l!eis families will
satisfy the patriotic people. Nothing
less will be sufficient We Think to raise
our quota, and if we undertake 10 raise
it, let us raise it complete; and no: par
italy do the jpb, and then have the
ignominy Of a draf: forever after Dis
grazing rs as a county. Let Tama
County rally at once and be ore Of
the brightest stars in that gaiilyy O!
glorious counties Of our State who are
now very active and making noble ap-
propriations fully determined to raise
their quotas
What If it costs the entire county
eight or ten thousand dollars to raise
this number OF men. i that anything

men in the border States have sacra
feed alone more than this sum, and
shall the people of our entire county
groan over this pittanee, in this time Of
great need Of our county for men to
save her from this hellish rebellion
Forbid it patriots Of Tama County,!

We know few grunters, misers

have more room in en- anmalculm's

would grant and whine few times
over such an appropriation. But wha,
oft? Are they to be respected? willie
they will neither g themselves nor ap
propriate to those who will 60? Indeed
not. The few that are left must We,
feel the force Of patriotism as it gushes
forth from others if they never found i,
in their own hearts.
