TROOP CALL.-There is very wide.
spread misunderstanding about how
the call for volunteers will be made by
the government. Many persons think
that this call is to be similar TO the one
made by President Lincoln at the
opening of the civil war.
As matter of fact the government
IS yet does not want raw recruits. The
term call for volunteers this time means
that the government has called upon
the men already enlisted in the na.
tional guard or State militia of the va.
rous States to enlist in the regular
army, 80 that they will be available for
service in Cuba or elsewhere.
These men are already fairly we'll
equipped, and reasonably we'll drilled
q I'D are, in fact, trained soldiers. The
e ,vernment has 40 right to order these
troops to duty outside of the United
States, and for that reason they are
asked to enlist in the regular army so
that they may be sent to Cuba when
the time comes.

VIRGINIA will be called upon for

seems to be in hearty accord with the

constitute no small portion of that
number, and, from the favor with which
the war is accepted by the States rep
resentatives in Congress, it is supposed
that the rush for enlistment will be so
great that only the specially favored
