bili,ies Of a draft under the impending cal
! for 800, geo one years men
We have slso effected distribution Of tn
men for which credits hste so far been Fivci
to the State, by which each county will b
credited with their due proportion of Ties
men, and the several wards and townships
will have approximate justice done them.
! This settlement, however, only relieves u
from the present demand, and we must bea
in mind that until the war terminates we ar
not exempt
Should another call be required We shall
assure the General Government thst tn
people of Iowa, as heretofore, will meet i
promptly. ..s
And in view Of the probabilities ola furihe,

all possible energy, and advise our able
bodied men, who can now assist the Govern
men,, to avail themselves Of this opporiu
