THE NEW CALL FoR rRooP..

The Presidents Proclama ton, calling
for three hundred thousand volunteers. TO
be raised and in the feld before the 9Th
oil January next, and giving notification
OF draft at that date, if volunteering
should be insufficient to raise tie required
number, is we'll received by all except
the unconditional submissionists to the
rebellion. The tone of the most inhuen-
tlal Democratic papers in commenting on
this call is really gratifyifying. The New
York World says:
Let the whole country now bend its
energies to the work of stimulating VOL
unteer enlistments. Az
for this city, it ought to have no trouble
IN filling up its quota. Is
1t possible for the voters of New York
not to see, in this new call, to which ev-
cry instinct of patriotism must yet lead
them to respond, the proof of the wisdom
OF the Democratic policy for the conduct
of the war?
The Boston Post says:
The call of President Lincoln for three
hundred thousand volunteers. addresses
itself to the intelligence and patriotism of
the people. The Executive invokes the
loyal and good to lend their willing, cheer
ful and effective aid in promoting enlist
ments, with view to reinforce onr noble
armies and bring our needful military
operations to prosperous end. Let him
have this aid in full measure. Every con-
slderation connected with the best inter.
ests OF our common country, requires hat
this war should be brought to a speedv
close, and the only way to do it is to scat
ter the rebel armies, and by solid con
stltutional policy, to close forever the
fountains OF sedition and civil war.
