SHALL THKnE De A DRAFT IN
BLACK HAWK COUNTY,
We received a call few days sine
from 0. o. ST. JOINS, Esq, Of Watcrlo'
who has been appointed Recruiting officer f.
this County, and from him we learn that on
quota under the present call for 10000
nsn, ID one hundred and 6fty-six. or thi
number Cedar Falls must raise 81, and Eas
Waterloo 10, and West Waterloo twenty. 81:
tho balance to DO raised through tn
various towns Of the county. At the tim
Of his call upon us, Mr.. SrJoHs had not re
csived the quota apportioned to each towI
respectively, but Is soon rs it is received vii
furnish it to us for publication. Then eact
town will know exactly what it must do t.
avoid tho draft. Now the people must bs
mp and doing il they would clear themselves
from the stigma Of conscription, and though
the time Is ehort the men can be had if the
proper exertions arc made. Just as sure -
the 9th day Of January, 1884, comes, and
our quota is not filled By volunteering, just
80 surely will there be draft to make up
the deficiency. The defeat Of the red handed
traitors that would blot out our national ex.
istencc, and trail our glorious dag in the dust,
10 wsll.nigh accomplished. The eight they
now make is that Of desperation. Without
food. clothing. or money; all their sea-ports
securely blockaded; our armies surrounding
them on all sides snd Armly entrcnched in
the very heart Of their country their last
hope Of foreign Intervention dead the firm
and united attitude Of the whole North as
declared At the late elections; growing dis
affection and open hostility to the rebel cause
in various portions Of the socalled Confed-
sracy, and more than all, with their last avail
able man under arms, the leaders Of the re-
bellion well know that their cause is hope
less. But they know that defeat is death,
and viii Sight to the bitter end Our brave
regiments that have accomplished so much
now appeal to Us, their brothers Of the North.

ted ranks, in order to give them the strength
to make the final dash that shall sweep the
foul conspiracy Of rebellion from the face Of
the nation. At no point arc tho rebels able
to make any Roadway; they can barely hold
eur brave boys at bay. Who can doubt that
it reinforced 10000 strong, our armies
would sweep in triumph from Virginia to the
Gulf. The North is yet strong in men, in
resources, and in treasure, and to let the Tn
ion 60 by the board at this stage Of the war,
simply for the lack of few more men, would
be disgrace more damnable than ever rest.
