and save our Government
THos Il. BRAMLrTE."
Your Governor wants you, Kentuck-
ians, at once, aud he will lead you. Let
there be no delay, for, while Grant and
Sherman are grinding the rebellion into
dust beneath the foot Of victory, every
available veteran soldier must be sent
forward to give the coup de grace to the
infamous conspiracy which has robbed
the country OF 40 many noble soldiers
and spread mourning from one end of
tAA Union 10 the other. The call Of Gov
eraor Rramlstte appeals TO all classes /;

prosecution Of the war, and to those
who desire the coming ofthe happy day

polluted by murderous guerrillas and
vagabond horse thieves. Which county

not furnish two or three with prompti-

eensure as lukewarm and laggard. Let
some officer of the State Guard call q
public meeting at the court house for the
enrolment Of names, and let the req
uisite force be raised by volunteers, for
