"RaIIy once again. Boysl.

The following is the address of the
State Central Committee TO the soldiers of
Ohio:
"Tne present political campaign is near
to close. Only few more days are left
for organization and preparation. On Tues
day, the 10Th day of October, the great civil
battle is TO ba fought. Soldiers, are
you ready2 Nothing is needed but
you arms in perfect order, forty
rounds of ammunition, and one days

the Uniou column. We know he will

candidates ;on the Union ticket for cleo

gallant service in the field, in maintaining
the Government and the Union.

arms. VIII you forsske them now2 Will
you, by indifference or slothfulness, per-
nit the enemy-the party and men who
have abused and vilified you from the be-
ginning of the war TO this day-to steal
your well earned lauTels-to cheat you of
. fnsl and glorious victory Let not the
miserable and senseless cry of abolition
and negro equality mislead you, nor the
speeious homage to your bravery by those
who have, during four years of civil war,
Vili6ed you, decisive and allure you from
duty. Forget not the duty you owe to
those brave companions whose bones

who mourn their absence.

If you yield in this struggle, you concede

We have the most encouraging and graf.
flying reports from nearly every county in
the State. In few localities we hear of
apathy. If with you there is not zsal
and activity, such as you saw in the field
on the eve of great battle, begin at once
to rally your companions to the work.
Trust not to overwhelming numbers. Be
not satisfied with mere victory. Let it
be total rout, overthrow and annihila-
tion of the enemy-such victory as will
forever settle the question of secession and

is forever settled at the South.
