To the People Of Ohio:
The President Of the United States
has issued call for Two Hundred
Thousand men, to be added to the ar.
mics of the country, for the snPpres'
sion Of the Rebellion. This is in nd.
dition to to the former call of three
hundred thousand troops. This last
measure is not only one of necessity,
but of sound policy. When the call
Of three hundred thousand was made,
it was intended to be an addition Of
that number to our existing army
When the re.enlisted veterans came to
be credited on the quotas under that
call, it became evident that the increase
of the army would not equal the res
quirelnents Of the service. The last
call of two hundred thousand is mere.
ly accomplishing the original design of
adding three hundred thousand men
to the army independent of the vet
Grams.
The principle of nassing an army
sufficient to operate with celerity, and
energy, is justified not only by econ
omy but humanity. With the farce
now proposed, the operations of the
current year should crush this Rebel
lion and bring us peace.
The quota of Ohio under the for
mer call was thirty thousand. The
quota under this call is about twenty
thousand, Military Committees need
not wait for distributions of quotas
among Counties, Townships and Wards.
Two.thirds of the quotas under the
call for three hundred thousand will
give the quotas to these respective To-
calities Of the additional call now
made. EH s "
On the stlday Of February the number Of
nen due the United States from Ohio, under
previous calls was about twenty thousand. :.
This did not include the reenlisted veterans,
which it is estimated will reach about Fl teen
Thousand; leaving us indebted on former
calls, about five thousand men, Adding the
quota under the last call, tho number due
from Ohio, on the first instant was not far
from twenty. thousand men. The work OF
is now going on with yigor, and
gratifying success. 60 '-~ -4-- -r -
Citizens Of Ohio, shall we hesitate in
complying with the requisition laid upon US?
Shall we faltsr in the good work as the end
iraws near? Shall we b, laggsrd under the
,all 10 mass AT army sufficient in a single
season, to strike death blow to this rebel
ion? True loyalty OF Ohio was apoes leI to
asst fail at the ballot box, and her people
eturned noble responce. The patriotism
If the State il appealed to now;-the an
wsr must not be hesitating or uncertain.
Present bouniies will expire on the first
# March. DO not procrastlnate with tn
lope Of their extension or renewal. The
iraft is ordered ior the 10th OF March. La.
)or to avoid it, rather than calculate upon
Is postponement. With present advantages
70 ought to fill our quota before that tune
5ehll What may in other States, let us save
ohio from the operations OF the draft.
With the exception OF the thirty ccmpsn
81 ordered to day. it is not probable that
my further new organizations will be made
The re enlistment ofyetsrans is one OIL the
brightest and beN features ofthe war. The
hinned ranks Of these veteran regiments
hou!d bs filled up. These nen have done
seds that will live in history. They carry
CARED and battle worn flags, that men may
veil esteem it an honor TO rally under.-
'hey are differed by men whom recruits to
heir ranks mny safely hliOw. The new sol /
ier is better and more honorab!y situa led !
mong the veterans than in new commands.
nd in addilon TO all these, is the fact that
be service Of The country is promoted by
uch a combination.
Military committees in the several coun.
les are respectfully urged to continue their
'rvices, and renewed energy and vigor into
he work OF filling this, we hope, the last al
otment Of troops to Ohio. They have rem
ared valuable services heretolore:--a con-
nuance Of exertion is earnestly requested.
Citizens OF OhiQ!--Give the next thirty
ayst TO the cause~-of the country Enter
nth sprit ard determination into this work.
,esolye that the quot9of Ohiothall be filled,
i'd follow up that resolution with the zeal,
