? "Get ready. Set your houses in order. Make
arrangements to secure your full crops hydroxy,
and get ready to join the throng of'the hnndreds
of thousands who have gone before.?
Let tho women and mourning goods now, for
in a month or so there will not. be money
. ' enough in the country to use for the .purpose.
The draft comes. " No one wants -16 go to
war. Patriotism is sick! The nation is discouraged.
Half the men sent before have been
lost to us and the country. The seventy-five
thousand Wide-Awakes who were to sweep
the rebels into the Gulf of Mexico, have not
b'3en hoard from lately. Haifa million m >re
men are to bo taken, away from their industrial
pursuits. It is now revolt, Canada or
fight. Let us see what the people will do.
Oh ! that Wisconsin had a, Governor wit-h
pluck equal to the emergency. Would to God
that the Chief Magistrate of this State had
nerve to say to Abraham Lincoln that not a
man should go from the State till the quotas'
* of the New England and the Eastern Slates are
ftlto/4 '
.r uiu pcopie wouin respect that po- j
sition. But no; the young We t - must he j
sapped and drnined of its life Mood, while in I
the abolitionized Eastern Stales, which are
growing rich out of this war, are thousands of
men; in arrears under former calls.- The la
, nntics and speculators of New England sit at
the feet of Lincoln and their Slates are parsed
over. The working men of the West h ive no
t friend at court and can go to war in answer to
calls or be hunted down.
If we could see but a glimmer of lights
through this darkness, all would be well. If
the half million men now called for would end
the war, -we'd go at once, i"f never to return.
But there is no head to guide or arm to direct.
Thp administration has lied to us daily from
its organization. It has made its last call half
a dozen times before?it has resorted to all
means to fill t.hn :<
vj ... mj ?10 u.'ts s.-icniieeu a
million of lives on the altar of incompetency.
It lias ignored or shelved the best, military talent
.of the age?it has disappointed the land
every month for three years, and still the war
goes on.
Only half a million more? Oh, that is nothing.
Wo are bound to free the niggers or
die.! "Let's all go!. The rebels can't light!
-One Northern'abolitionist who rants and brays,
is better than ten Southern men to light!?
Tho rebels cannot- rnis# men enough in. all theSouth
to make an army, or make a descent
battle!^The rebels have deserted till none are
left! Tho South is a barren waste and her army
has.subsisted on quarter rations for, three

of the blacks docs away with calling for i
moro white troops! This is merely a little
military excursion party, in which no one will
, be hurt! The rebels are sick, starving, naked,

This is what the administration has taught
Tie, and being facts, where in God's name arc
the bravo men the North has sent forth already

Raily, round the flag, boys. Continue the
administration in power and we can all go to
war, Canada or to the warm place before

Hancock bids fair to outstrip all his coadjutors in J
the nceo.nplislniK'nts of lying*. In his official report of I
110 battio on Thursday, says tlio while t"? I
admits ^defeat. he puts down his loss at twelve to
fifteen hundred ! Now, \\:c know that over two thousand
prisoners lustre been received in Richmond as tho
fruits of that engagement, "niitl wo havo undoubted
authority for saying that it took the. Yankee dot il?,'
under flag of truce, two days to complete tho burial of
their dead. .Their losses on that occasion ce tainly
number several thousand, but exactly bow ninny we
shall probably never know. Stanton", taking his cue
from Hancock, asserts that the rebels have lost ton
thousand men oil tho VVeldon Rail Road in the last
two weoks. These enormous falsehoods-wero doubtless
made up with a view to affect tho action of tho
Chicago Convention.
