TIOQA BOYS, BALLY!
We print elsewhere' ‘"the patriotic proc
lamation of Governor Curtin, calling upon the
people of the old Commonweath to raise twen
ty-one new regiments and fill np the old ones
now decimated by sickness and death. Three
companies are to be raised {from this county,
and although this is more (than onr share as
compared with other connties, nevertheless it
is our duty to raise them promptly. Our peo
ple are already alive to the work as may be
seen by the accounts of the War Meetings
which we print in onr other columns. When
these three companies shall jhave been ‘ raised,
(and the indications are that they wiH he raised
within ten days,) wo shall then be the Banner
-County for the War, U we have been the: Ban
ner Connty for Freedom.
—We point with pride to ihe proceedings of
the War Mass Meeting bald in the Court House
in this Borough, on Tuesday night last, and the
consequent action of the County Commission
ers.’ It wilt be eeen that the Cosnty has offered
a bounty of $5O to be raised by loan, to every
volunteer who shall be swoijn into, tb,e service,
.until the three hundred called for from this
Connty, shall have been entailed; This patri
otic donation of $15,000 involves the necessity
of issuing certificates to represent this loan, in
sums of hot less than $5O, bearing seven per
cent, interest, and reimbursable in' four; equal
annual instalments from the date of issue. ‘The
necessity of' this action was Immediate' and
pressing. More than one handled recruits hath
within the pasttwoweeka gone to Corning and
Elmira, and taking advantage of the liberal
bounty offered by the Governor of New York,
have enrolled - their names there, instead' of
here.' More than three hnndred men did so
under the Second call, making an aggregate of
over four hundred men from this County who
ought to be numbered among the troops of the |
Old Commonwealth, who are not. '
Citizens of Tioga County, you who bavemon
ey to Uhd, show ydnr patriotism by taking this
loan. Let it.be done promptly and. cheerfully,
for without a Government,-your, wealth is as
nothing. The country demonds sacrifices from
all her children;-bat hero-is'an opportunity to
servo her without ‘much sacrifice. We trust
that every dollar will be taken in the county,
and that too, immediately, ileantime, let every
man who can, repair at once to Wellsborougfa,
Tioga, or Etkiand,'where recruiting offices and
camps have been establisheid; adder the new
call, and in a very short time the quota will bp
filled. * : 'i

that had just preceded him,and.'then other
business was attended to. Tbe citizens of Fall

as could, in defence of; their : country. Seven

not writing, 1 have not received the first letter 1
that was written in four weeks. Do you think
me'dead or a prisoner? have you not received
the letter I have sent or don’t you'care whether
I hear from home' or not? If ybir only knew
how much good a letter does me you would be
sure to write once a week of once a

all forgotten mei and do not care whether I

‘dispel all those gloomy thoughts and make a

little homesick nothing but a long. letter will
cure him, PrespectS of a speedy close of the
war are at an end, and nothing but encourage
ment from home will keep up the cheer of the
soldier, and that encouragement must oomo in
more ways'than, on paper alono. We most see
see you turning out to respond to the call for
more troops. Let the three hundred thousand
men be raised at once.! Let all shoulder their

would lend a hand to help crush this wieked

fight the North. If those are still their senti

desperate, and wish that we could decide this
struggle in ope mighty' battle, I would be
willing to take tlie front and run my chances.
I sometimes think foreign power will, intercede

be in vain, or; else hundreds of thousands of.

TiThat do you think of the state, of the Union

will be ? Slavery is the 1 first cause of this Re-,

sentiments t also let those that are the cause of
the rebellion, pay for it as fax as their property'
will extend. T wish to see the instigators of
all this trouble suffer the greater; in fact, Ho
not wish to see a traitor or rebel live after'
peace is declared. -If England and France wish
to intercede I say fight them all, and ‘ teach
them what Yankee perseverance,, energy and
courage can do. I never wish to return unless

to the constant, harrasslng, complicated and navel
labors which the exigencies of the great rebellion
have imposed, . '

of the people of the United States in this crisis;
those who are loyal to its constitution and every, inch
of its soil, and are ready to make every sacrifice, for
tho integrity of the Union, and the maintenance of
civil liberty within it, and those who openly or cov
crtly endeavor to' sever our country, or to yield to the
insolent-demands of its enemies; that we fraternise
with the former, and detest the latter; and that, for
getting all former patty names and distinctions, we
call apon ail patriotic citizens to rally for ono undivi

Tonr Committee believe ,that “to punish traitors

we endorse most henatily the measures for the confis
