The Call for volunteers--Important Circular.


The following is a copy of an address issued to
the people of Pennsylvania by Major Dodge, A.

give it careful perusal, and act accordingly
Every man is interested in the matter, and should

600 troops, to be raised by volunteering or draft
The 18th of February 1865, has been fixed upon
as the day of draft. IF your quotas not filed
by volunteers by that time the deficiency will most
certainly be made up by draft
Ward and Township committees are earnestly
invited to commence work at once. The longer
you delay the more difficult will be your task.
The attention of these committees is also inYi-
ted to the necessity and propriety of delivering up
to the District Provost Marshals oil deliaQuents
from former drafts
ties to find these men, secreted they are bytheir
friends and by persons hostile to the Government
Committees, United States State and County
officers, and all good citizens are requested to ar
rest these men, and deliver them to the Provost
Marshals.
Every man so arrested and put into service by
the Board of Enrolment counts one toward filling
your quota.
Information by letter OF otherwise, furnished to
District Provost Marshals, of the whereabouts of
these delinauents viii be thankfully received and
promptly acted upon.
Provost Marshals will cause lists Of delinquents
from all former drafts to be made and distributed
to the end that all so disposed may understanding
ly assist in forcing these delinquents to perform
their duty to their country and to their own peo-
pie.
Bring in all your delinquents exert yourselves
to put in volunteers, and the necessity of draft
viii be avoided.
