raise for the service Of the General Government
twenty thousand men. for the period Of one hun

saws. They will be mustered into the ser

Rod designated, the time to commence
from the date Of muster"-not from the
datc.of enlistment. The Governor il very fair
in stating that troops raised under this call will
be a. much at the control of the General Gov

In which they may be assigned, as the three years
men. They will be subject 10 precisely the same
duties as other soldiers. and they will be more
likely to be placed in the post of danger or de
tached for dangerous expeditions. than the vet
erans in the service. A skilful general will hold
his most reliable and experienced men in re-
serve and not trust to raw troops. This
one hundred days service will be no frolic. but
most arduous and dangerous if. as is iDtimated,
the decisive battles of the war are to be fought
within that period. Ii is, also, rumored that Gov.
MoRroS will command these troops in person.

will have influence enough with the powers that

where his military genius and valor can find full
scope for development He would not for a

twenty thousand gallant Hoosler soldiers, eager

watching railroads.
We do not make these remarks to discour-
age any one from volunteering under Governor
NoRroS's call. Our only object is to prevent
deception or misapprehcnsion in regard to the
service expected under the CALL so that there
NAV be no dissatisfaction and grumbling after
being mustered. Let every man who volunteers
do intelIigently. and then he will have the
heart and will to cheerfully and earnestly per-
farm every duty and submit to every priva
ton required OF him. And we trust that
the patriotic men who have expressed themselves
so earnestly IN the past for vigorous prosecution
of the war and who have the means TO leave their
families comfortable in any event. will now Illus
trate their sincerity by volunteering for this brei
and critical period The aboring men who have
dependent families, and especially the producing
classes should be the last called upon. In fact
the call for twenty thousand men could be filed
entirely from the non producers in Indiana who
could be absent for one hundred days. or even a
longer period. without any detriment to the pubic
interests. We again appeal to this class, when
labor Is so scarce. as il now is. especially in agri
cultural pursuits. to promptly respond to the call
Of the Governor. so that the industrial pursuits
shall not further suffer by the Withdrawal of
laborers from our borders
