The President has issued call for 500.
600 more ,Hcn to make up deficiencies occs-
stoned BY credits ON the last CALL Though
the call in July last was for 500, 900 men,
only about hslf that number were secured to
the service, SO large were the credits allowed
to the several States on old account. The
books having been balanced, The new call is
made to make the previous one good for its
face. .s-. 81.
Some Of the States, by encouraging en-
lis,men,s, have \ surplus. over The July call
TO sppty on the new demand, but Iowa has
done little, if anything in that way. The
people generally seemed to have settled down
into the belief that there would be no more
calls that there were men enough already
in the field to wind up" the rebellion
But as 'sng as the war lasts recruiting must
continue The force in the field is constantly
being diminished by deaths and discharges,
and to keep it up to its present numerical
strength there must be continual drafts upon
the people. No loyal man ought to have a
disposition to shirk his turn at the common
enemy. The Government needs the men,
and therefore the people ought to desire the
call.
We trust there will be general DISPOSE.
ton to answer the present demand, so far as
possible, with volunteers The men arc thus
secured, not only quicker and cheaper to the
service, but with far less inconvenience and
hardship to the people. There are good ar
guments in favor Of drafting, such as the
drawing in Of coppcrhcads and making'cvery
man stand his chance, bat the balance Of
argument We think is OH the opposite side OF
the question. A man going as volunteer
has time TO arrange for the care Of his fam

drafted man is called to respond for duty on
Few hours notice, and without any ade-
quate preparation for so serious an under.
taking. We hope voluntary enlistmcnts will
be encouraged in every proper way.
Ia any event, We would urge every man
liable to military duty to-, so far as possible,
put his affairs in such SHAPE as TO be pre-,
pared for year in the army. Experience
and observation should teach the necessity

P2EpagE FOa THE DRSFT--.COis-
RECT YOUR ENfsGAL.s EST LISTS.

By the operations OF the last draft tho
people should gain wisdom in preparation
for the next draft Therefore we urge par
ticulsr attention from every citizen Of Iowa
to the following order of Adjutant General
Baker:
The citizens of this State should under
stand that it is plainly for the interest Of
each sub district to have stricken from the
lists all the names improperly enrolled, be-
cause an excess Of names increases the quota
called for from such sub district; and that it
is equally foi the interest of each person en-.
rolled il, given sub district to place upon
the lists all persons in the sub district iAAAse
to DO military duty, because the greater
number to be drawn from the less the chance
that any particular individual will be drawn
1t is the personal interest Of every enrolled
man that the quota in which he is concerned
shall not be made too large, and that his own
chances for draft shall not be unjustly in
creased both these objects will be attained,
if all parties will aid in striking ont wrong
names and putting in right ones. Especially
is this the interest Of those drafted nien, who
by putting in substitutes, themselves liable
to draft have secured exemption which by
The law only holds good until the present
enrolment is exhausted in their sub districts
Men who are over 45 years Of age, aud in
consequence are excused by law from ths
performance Of duty in the field, owe it TO-
the cause and to the country to take a yea
Gus and active part in the correction Of the
enIeilrnent lists, military service of the FIRST
Importance.
The law rsJsi1'es that quotas shall be az
signed in proportion to the enrolment, and
the fairness and justice Of this mode Of &c.
terminirg the amount of military service due
from each and every section Of the country
cannot be doubted, if the enrolment is made
as nearly perfect As it is practicable to make
it. The amount OF service due to the nation
from every town or county is thus laid fairly
and plainly before the citizens, and | am
sure that higher motive than selfish inter
est will prompt all to do their share in per.
fecting tho enrolment and securing just
and Efficient execution of the laws for raising
troops whenever it becomes necessary 10
supply them. The subject should receive
the attention Of town, precinct and ward
meetings, and committees.
The citizens Of the State are particularly
requested to notify and furnish evidence to
tho A. u. Provost Marshal General Of this
Stace. and all District Provost Marshais, and
all special officers employed under them,
and all boards of enrolment Of all Bfor.na
ton relative to death, changes Of residence,
enlistment, or other causes which affect the
enrolment.
