their quota of volunteers under this call, by the
appointed day. The rebellion has received many

perate effort with its armies now in the field

way, bur must sustain our brave brothers III the

pressed Ii this new call for volunteers, intend-
cd to fill the ranks of the deoimated old Veteran
Regiments is answered promptly, it will give
more strength to our army, than any prov lou 8
call hes ever done because the strength and value
of the new levy will not be crippled and wasted
by inexperienced officers, but will be made to tell
its full weight and power under experienced
leaders.
In testimony whereof | have hereunto set my
hand and caused the Great Seal OF State
L. S. to be affixed, this, Gath day OF October
