Kentuckians! your State has been invaded.  There is now no alternative -- if you would preserve the respect of your fellow men and of yourselves -- but to rally and drive the invader back.  Your flag is the Star Spangled Banner of the nation.  Your leader, the gallant Anderson.  Your motive for battle, the sanctity of home and fireside!  Prove yourselves worthy the better days of the Republic.

TO ARMS! TO ARMS!

We are authorized to raise a Company of Infantry, to be mustered into the service of the United States for three years or the war, to compose a part of the regiment now being raised by Cols. Pope and Jouett and Major Campbell.  Those willing to rally to the defence of their State can unite with us by calling at TURNER'S HALL, on Jefferson, between Preston and Jackson streets.  Pay from $8 to $13 per month, and $100 bounty at the end of the war.  Kentuckians, your State has been wantonly invaded by those who tauntingly proclaim that they must possess your territory though at the price of blood and treasure!  Rise, worthy of your old days, and drive the insolent invader from your soil!  Let not their vile breath pollute the atmosphere of our venerable Commonwealth!  Rally for your fields and firesides!  Rally for the liberties bequeathed to you by a patriotic ancestor!

WM. F. WOOD

Rally! boys! rally! beneath the Stars and Stripes;

Rally! boys! rally! the traitor foe to fight!

Shall we, Old Kentuck's heroic sons, remain inactive while our grand old State is being invaded and laid waste?  Shall we, the noble sons of noble sires, fold our hands supinely while our glorious country is bleeding from a thousand wounds inflicted by a traitorous hand?  No! No! a thousand times NO!!!  We will rally around Our time scarred Standard, and meet them undaunted, while lo! from our Hill the grand Eagle comes swooping and waves to the brave the American Star.

We have been authorized to raise a Company of Infantry, to be mustered into the service of the United States, to be called the O. K. Rifles.  This Company will compose a part of the Regiment now being raised by Colonels Curran Pope and Geo. P. Jouett and Major W. P. Campbell.  All who desire to unite with us can apply at headquarters, corner Fourth street and Levee.

T. H. TINDELL, Captain.

JNO. S. HILL, 1st Lieut.

Or at my Office on Main st., between Fourth and Fifth.

JNO. S. HILL

RALLY, YOUNG MEN OF KENTUCKY -- We are authorized to raise a Company of infantry, to be mustered into the service of the United States, to be called the Anderson Rifles, in honor of the hero of Fort Sumpter, and to compose part of the regiment now being raised by Colonels Pope and Jouett and Major Campbell.  The company will be composed of from 85 to 101 men.  All who desire to unite with us can apply at headquarters, opposite the Hope Engine-house, on First street, between Green and Jefferson.

We hope that this call will meet with a patriotic response.  Kentucky has been wantonly invaded by those who are enemies not only of our state, but of our common country.  The freemen of Kentucky cannot submit to such an indignity without losing the respect of their fellow-men.  Let the invader be drive from our soil at whatever cost of blood and treasure.

W.H. HEGAN, Captain.
