The struggle for Volunteers at the North.
--To those who think that the "inexhaustible" resources of the enemy are overwhelming we would commend the following advertisements taken from the New York Herald. The bounties, it will be seen, are enormous, but the enlistments are not commensurate with the inducements. We can understand now what these people mean when they say they are determined "at any cost" to subdue the South. The "cost" is to be paid in greenbacks, and when these break down the war ends:
New York County Volunteer Committee;
office 240 Broadway.
30,000 volunteers wanted.
The following are the pecuniary inducements offered:
County bounty, cash down | $300 |
State bounty | $75 |
United States bounty to new recruits | 302 |
United States bounty, addition to veteran soldiers | 400 |
477 | |
Total | $777 |
