The President Of the United States has issued q
call for TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN, 70 be added
to the armies of the country for the suppression Of
the rebellion. This isin addition 20 the call otthrec
hundred thousand troops THIS lastiucreaSe is not
only one OF necessity, but of sound policy. When
ths call of thrte hundred thousand was made, it
was intended TO b. an addition Of that number
10 our existiug army. When the re-cnliStc1
veterans came to be credited on the quotas
under that CALL it bccama evident that the
increase Of the army would not equal the re
qu.remcuts of the service. The last call for two
hundred thousandis is merely accomplish the orig
inll design of adding three hundred thonSlad men
to the army, Independent of the veterans.
The principle of missing an army sufficient to
oprrit, with ctlcritv AMI cl'rgy,s iusUG a not uu
ly by economy, but humanity. With the force nov
proposed, the operations of the cNrrcnt year should
crush this rebellion and bring us peace.
The quota OF Ohio under the former call was
fraction under thirty thousand. Tho quota Under
this call is about twenty thousand. Military com
mi.tscS nGcd net wait for distribution Of quotas
among countless townships and wards. Two-thirl'
OF the quotas under the call for three hundred thou
sand will give the quotas to their respective local
tiles of the additional call now made
On the Isl VI February the number of men due
the United States from Ohio, uuirr previous calls,
was about twenty thousand. This did not include
the ra.ruli., "A veterans, which il Is cstimNtnl will
rcnCh about iitcca thousaud-leayiug MS indebted

work Of recruiting is now going On with vgor ami
gratifying success.

this r5beliun} The loyalty of Ohio was appealed
&, last fall at the ballotboN, and her people return
cd nob response. Tho patriotism Of the state is
appealed o. unw-thc iuswcr must not be h1sta-
ting or uncertain.
Present bounG,s viii cvpirr on the 1st of March.
DO not procris'iuatr with the hope Of extension or
renewal Thc draft is ordered Tor the 10th of March.
Labor to avoid it rather than to calculate upon its
postppnam,nt. With presept advantages we ought
to fill our quota before that time. BcrS what may
in other States let US save Ohio from the operations
| Of the draft.
! With The exceptions of the thirty companies or
dered to-day, it is not probable that any further
/ new organizations will be made. The re-cnlist-
mcut OF veterans is one Of ,he brightest and best
! features this war. The thinued ranks Of these
veteran regim mt should b. flNd up. These men
| have done deeds that Will live in history. They
/ carry SCARED and battc-worn NlgS that men may
! well esteem an honor to rally under They are
ulic.rel bv men whom recruits 70 their ranks may
safely follow. The new soldier is better and more
hpu"rNhIy situated among the veterans than in new
/ commluls. And in addition tn all these, is the
fact that the service Of the country IS promoted 10y
