AdjutanI General Corbin received a
telegram today from Ger erals J. N
Scbofel6, O. 0. Howard, and Alex
ander McCook, acoBmittee represent
ing the National Volunteer Reserve,
as follows: Speak well of and sup
port our great movement Of Northern
and Southern veterans forever putting
aside the shadow of sectionalism,
strengthening the Presidents hands
and declaring the 6rmness and loyalty
Of the people Of the nation.
Urge all newspapers throughout the
country to publish enlistment blanks.
The National Volunteer movement
will have all the effect of the President
calling out volunteers and this with
out expanse or delay to the govern
ment, or creating too much feeling or
unnecessary alarm, or require an act
Of war to place us on foundation
firm and .strong and by increasing
snd improving the quality OF our
citizenship. 1t is strangely as good a
peace as war measure.
