GIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND COZ.
FINS WANTED - GET YOUR MOURNING

Under this rather funereal heading, the La Crosse
(Wisconsin) Democrat has the following wall over
Lincoln's last call for 500, 600 men, The following
is the article:
Lincoln has called for fire hundred thousand more
pictinss, On the 5th of September half a million
men are to be drafted to fill up the ranks of the
army to lighting dimensons-to get soldiers for the
sunny South Get ready. Get your house in order.
Make arrangements to your fall crops by
proxy, and get ready to join the throng of the hun
dreds of thousands who have gone before. Let the
women buy mourning goods now, for in a month OF
80 there will not be money enough In the country to
for the purpose.
The draft comes. No one wants to go to war.
Patriotism is Sick The nation is discouraged. Half
the men sent before have been lost to lis and the
country. The $4,000 Wide Awakes, who were to
sweep the rebels into the Gulf of Mexico, have not
been heard from lately. Half million moro men
are to be taken away from their industrial pursuits
1t is now revolt, Canada, or fight. Let us what
the people will do.
Oh that Wisconsin had a Governor with pluck
equal to the emergency. Would to God that the
Chief Magistrate of this State had TO say TO
Abraham Lincoln that not a man should go from the
state till the quotas of the New England and the
Eastern states arc filled. How the people would
respect that position. But no; the young West
must be sapped ana drained Of Its lite-blood, while
the abolitionized Eastern States, which are grow
ing ilch out OF this war, thousands OF men i'll
arrears under oImer calls. The fanatics and specu-
lators Of New England sit at the feet of Lincoln,
OF the West have no friend at court, and 20 to
war i'll answer to calls or be hunted down
II we could see but glimmer of light through
this darkness all would be we'll Ii the half million
now called tol would end the war, wo would go at
once, even II never 10 return. But there Is no head
10 guide to direct. Tla Administration has
lied to daily from its Organization. 1t has made
It's Last call half dozen times before 1t has re-
SOted 10 all means to I'LL the army it has sacIi-
feed million Of lives the altar Of ncUmpetency
1t has ignored shclved the best military talent o
the age; It has disappointed the land every month
for three years, and still the gees
One half million more Oh, that Is nothing
We are bound 10 free the niggers or die Let's all
go. The rebels can't fight One Northern ahOll-
ZIONIST who rants and pTays i5 better than ten
Southern men t. fight! The rebels cannot rails,
enough i'll all the South to make an army ol
make decent battle! The rebels have deserted til
none left! The South Is barren waste and hen
army has subsiSted on quarter rations for three
wears, The rebels are bankrupt III means, men
and military skill
tUns and now or allies. The aiming ot til,
blacks does away with calling fol white troops
This is merely little military excursion party ii
which no will be hurt! The rebels are sick
starving, naked, without anns-cowardS, and terri
bly, denoiahledi
This is what the Administration has taught US
and being facts, where, in Gods name, are tho
brave men the North has sent forth already
Rally round the flag, boys. Continue this Admin
l5tl,ttion power, and We all 20 to war Canada
or h1l, before 1868. Only half = million .dcdest
Abraham. Might better have called for million
for they will be needed before this abolition crusad,
rent from my plan" Half q million Hultah
