Gen. M'Clellan Says this is an Artillery War!

Artillery recruitment broadside for the 7th Rhode Island Artillery. Dominated by a striking, crisp image of an eagle with a banner in its beak. The banner says "The Constitution Must Be Maintained." Says the artillery is the "Right Arm of the Government." Pandering to the laziness in human nature, the broadside says "In marches, the private soldier may usually ride or walk, according to his choice, and is not cumbered with heavy arms and accoutrements. Far less drilling is required to secure efficiency in action, than in some other branches of the service." Claims state gives non-commissioned officers and privates a 15 dollar bounty and that the federal government offers a bounty of 100 dollars. Recruits received at headquarters of Lieutenant Colonel William H. Tompkins at 55 Weybosset Street in Providence. Regiment to be under the command of Colonel C.H. Tompkins and Lieutenant Colonel Reynolds. Says recruits may also apply at the Armory of the Marine Artillery. Backed with a piece of cotton cloth or burlap.
