The Glorious Northwest Tenders One
Hundred thousand More Volun-
tsers for One Hundred Days---The
President Accepts the Oifer---The
Governors Issue their PrOclama-
tiOnS,


On Saturday Governors LEWIS, Of Wisconsin,;
YATES, Of Illinois sToNr, Of Iowa; MoRTos,
Of Indiana BRoUoH, of Ohio, and BLAIR, Of
Michigan, Jointly rendered the President Of the
United States one hundred thousand troops, to
serve one hundred days to be clothed, armed,
and equipped by the United States Govern
ment, the men 70 be raised within the limits Of
the several Northwestern States named.
This proposition was accepted by the PreSi-
dent, and the Secretary Of War was susse-
quenty instructed to receive these troops.
-Four or FIVE Of the above named Governors
issued their State proclamAtions In this city,
and sent them forward on Saturday. This
movement on the part of the Northwestern
States, whose several quotas under previous
calls are filled, Is an act OF patriotism worthy
Of the imitation by other States OF the Union.
The first proposition made 70 the Govern
ment by the Northwestern Governors was that
the President issue his proclamation for one
hundred thousand six months men, but owing
to difficulties that could not be Immediately
overcome, they agreed to make the proposition
pentloned in the first part Of this article, and
which we are glad to be able to state has been
accepted. II Is believed by the distinguished
gentlemen who have rendered this new auxil-
liary force that they will be able to raise 1t
within twenty-five days.
This new army will garrison all the posts
and forts on the frontier and in the rear of act
i've operations, thus enabling the veterans now
doing post and garrison duty to join our
armies in the field. Gov. Brough, of Ohio, in
bic proclamation, which has already appeared,
uses this patriotic language:
"Our armies In the held are msrshalng for the
decisive blow, and the citizen 30 dlery will share
the glory Of the erowning victories OF the cam
pR,gn, by relieving our veteran regiments from
posts Rnd garrison duty, 10 allow them To engage
