Again the Government calls for men
1t is not from any reverses to the prea
armies Of Grant OF Sherman, or from au,
danger that those armies are in, We ar
confident that both Of thcm are able /,
do the work before them-to accoanulisl
the OF jscts of their respective oampaiens
But the fresh unfoldings Of each succes
sive day during The las. few months have
developed the fact that the armies of the
R'pub'lc need Strengthening; that more
men are needed than merely what will
enable Grant 10 take Richmond aEd eRer.

kansas, for L 'uisIans, and The de epartnent
of the Southwest. for Charleston and Sa
vannsb, and Mubile, and other parts Of
the rebel territory. Again-this call is
precautionary one. i. A,ws from thr
settled and Gxed purpose Of the Admiois-
tration and the people to prosecute this
war to successful termination. 1t is no
spasmodc work-no sensational affair.
caused BY big scare from a raid; there
is no weakness of the Knees or shakinese
about 1t; ins Iset there 10 great deal OF
backbone in it; it is earnest, deliberate,
far reaching. Il Gays to rebellion: MAR
shal all your forces; put every man you
have ipto the rsnks, the old grey headed
man aud the tender boy; enforce yopr
eonscription with u,srciess severity, and
hunt down the unwilling with blood
hounds and give them the alternative OF
death OF the service; do ell this and then
you won't succeed in your effort.; you
eanaot destroy this Government; you cant
suppiant the stars and stripes BY The
stars and bars; we have the men aud the
material of war, and cost what it will, the
loyal masses of the people have sent forth
their sst that yoar bastard Oonfederscy
must 60 dowu; that treason shah not win,
sna so help them fsod Of their fathers,
they will make their words true In
the prosecution of this determination
half million more men are wanted, ano
the men will be furnished.
We have said this move is precau.
tionary one. The time of enlistment OF
many of the regiments now in the field is
expiring and the number will coon be-
largely increa sed, aud care must be taken
that the number of our soldiery must be
increased rather than diminished. Ard
it Is with view to this that the call
comes for GIVE hundred thousand more I"
d, you say this labor of suppressing
the rebellion grows larger all the time
and almost becomes hopeless There
was in the rebel States a population Of
about eight millions of people who were
brave and deter mined and whose country,
from its physical conformation and lis
fine facilities Tor inter communication, was
admirably adapted for d,fcnsive warfare
Could you bope that the work of whr
ping these people and occupying their
territory would be short or an easy one?
This, however, we venture to assert, that
bad We made The same exer,ions and
called out our fighting strength as the
South has. the rebellion would now be
thoroughly put dvwn.
There is no alternstive-our people will
not see secession triumphant. They will
rot consent to disruption Of the Union.
These additional troops the people must
aud will raise. Every consideration that
prompted YOU to support the Government
and demand that treason be put down a.
the commencement Of this strife, remains
IN as strong force to-day demanding tbe
continuance OF your supper. to your couu.
try and the cause of the Union. ADD
an additional consideration to this action,
We 6ud in the lives end death OF the
thousands of brave men that have alread,
falIen. That is sacrifice upon the altar
OF our country that must not be in vain
