TEE NEW DRAFT.


In references 10 the last call, tho Gin
cinnsii Gazette Of las. Monday, says;
II is manifest that this war should bo
virtually ended with The current year.
It is the popular impression that IL may
be thus ended. But to give the rebel
lion a finishing blow in the approach
ing campaign, our armies must be
promptly and largely recruitedi not by
the re-enlisting Of veterans, or figuring
up quotas on paper but by furpishpgI
new, fulllgrown, stout fighting men |
men who will count in the 6eld as well
as on tho muster roll This is the
most economical way BOTH As regards
blood and Treasure, 70 end tho war. To
dribbie along, as we have been doing
for the past year, calling for 100000
men, and receiving $4,000; ordering a
draft, and then postponing it, and fn-
allyg executing it in spots, is waste of
time, of men aud of means. IL is i'm
portant, thersfore3s that a new leaf
should be turned at once, that tho ar
my should be speedily 7Fe enforced ITO
4 the strength deemed necessary to give
the staggering rebsllioa.-a finishing
blow; then to march over its PROSTATE
carcass, and make clean work of the
bus mess during tho summer. This
u cannot bo done with our present army;
but itlmay be done, by adding to the
3 troops now in the hold, the new men
which this last order is intended to
bring forward. BHa r3mos1' .t.to5 -ia'
-Letit bo understood, that we are To
q have draft on tho 10Th ef March, tC
d Fill up whatever deficiency may exist 81
that time; and let II be further under.
T stood, that there is to be mo- further
a postponomsnt; no 6guring or trihing
but that the quota is to be filed atIthat
time, fully and fairly. IF tho people
are thus assured, the men will be forth.
coming, for if it is to be settled that the
army is to bs increased to a poin
that willinsure not only victories, but
the fruit of victories iD the approaching
campaign, there will be great deal
less hesitation about entering the
the army, than if the impression re-
mains that We are, for want of a sufi-
cisnt force, too drag through another
summer,- without boiRg able when vic.
tories are won, to follow them upsl'
This new call, too will, crafty the
veterans, who were sorely dissatisfied
when they aseortnined that instead oil
getting 100000 new men undOr the
last call, their names were to be couut-
+ ed in filing up the quota. Now ths y
will discover that it is the intention to
support them adequately, and prompt
ly, by sending the. full number Of new
men into the field, as contemplated
, when the previous call was made. ,pos
Now let every man put hise shoulder
to- the wheel so that when tho 10th o
