We recommend that, in the two dale that are left for volunteering, the friends of the bounty movement "put guards on all the roads." Let every man Am pay be offered an opportunity to untie the strings of hie purse, and if he re tinue let him be remembered es one who when his country called refused to answer. To young men liable to the draft, and upon whom no one is dependent, we have tei ward to say. The rebellion is not yet subdued, but there are good reasons for believing that It cannot last another year. You are wanted to help give it be death blow. It is better that you should go than your fathers; it is better that you should go than the widow's stay or the father of little children. Yon are offered large bounties—the largest ever paid for soldiers by any government that ever existed. There is a strong probability that the pay of a private soldier will be increased to twenty dollars per month. Never since the war commenced were our armies better tamed than now. Ths tarsi o 1 iervico jrrosioar to b. short. We suggest—we do pot urge--that those to whom we have been speaking should not allow the let of March 10 arrive without at least haying given serious consideration - to the reasons we bare presented in favor of volunteering. You are men, anti don't "run to the rear" if you can help it. GENERAL SIGEL. We wish to express our hearty approba tion of the appoints:amt. of General Stow, by the President, to the command of the Department of West Virginis. Apart from the consideration that General Stott has ,proud himself a good soldier in every position in which he has been tried, and that there is thus a far probability of mil itary affairs in West Virginia being better managed than theLhare been of Irate, we rejoice that the President has at last assert ed his prerogative as Commander-in-Chief of the Army by disregarding the opposition of General Hamm= to the hero of Car thage,Springeeld and Pea Ridge. To those who are at all cenrcreant with the inside history of the war, It Is well known that the prime cause of . this opposition has its root in some unfavorable eriticisms by Gen. 81GCL open General EfALLsoz's administms. don of the Department of the West. This is the reason why the brave and patriotic Sigel has been kept for more than a year 'without a command commensurate with his rank and his valuable pervious to the country. His appointment bp , the ?reel - dent, over the head of Genera Hammon, to the Command of an important Department la therefore not only an sot of justice to • true soldier, bat it is also signifleant of the Presidentfeintention to snake General Hat- Sznityleld his personal likes and dislikes in the future to the lead of the VIM la which men are nothing and principles everything MlscegenaUon.

Tho Adar•.iese as) : Although that gentleman has thus far preserved his aocustomed reticence, as to his sentiments and opinions during the struggle in which our country ie engaged, it has been no secret to many who pas wised hie confidence, that his sympathies were not, to say the least, on the aide of the government. It has been known to come that he has thought the Union not worth prosersiug unless Slavery could be preserved with it. , We venture to say that but few public coon would have taken advantage of their position as presiding oiSzer of a Charita ble Fair, which bad for its 0b.),0t the rais ing of Sonde to help the sick and Wounded of our army sod nasy, to deliver such a speech.
