To The Military Osmmittss GEd People of the
State:
The departure Of the National Guard
from the State, in the service Of the ooun-
try, will necessarily work mush individual
hardship. In many cases in each county,
families Of laboring men, dependent on
the daily labor Of the head will be left al
most wholly unproyided for. The eompen-
sation osthe soldier will not enable him 70
provide for the daily wants Of his family.
We who remain st home, protected By the
patriotism and sacrifices Of these noble
men, must not permit their families to
suffer. The prompt response OF the Guard
to the call has reflected honor upon the
State. We must not Gully it by neglect
ing the wants Of those our gallant troops
leave behind. No such stain must rest
upon the fair character Of our people.
As organized, is even better than lndI-
vidual action, 1 suggest to the people Of
the several counties that they prompt
ly raise, by voluntary contribution, suHi-
cient snm to meet the probable wants Of
the families Of the Guards, who may re

blessed with abundance contribute to II

may give grudgingly. 1t is payment oI

brave men who have responded 10
the call Of the country, and whose
action is warding of from Us dead
ly perils, and saving Us from suon
