mcnts Tor the collection and disbursement oil
the funds requisite to insure the comfrt and sup
port Of the several regiments of New You volun-
teers until they fully mustered into the service
Of the government. This committee consists of
Messrs. A. II. Mickle, Mayor; M. H. Grinnell,
VIM. F. Havemeyer, ]. X. King, Vim. McCul-
logh, Robt. H. Norris E. X. Collins, c. w. Law
renee, Stephen Whitney, Moses Taylor, John ].
Boyd, James McCulogh, and Elijah Purdy To
these gentlemen, there fore, or any of them the
liberal hearted may entrust their donations. Let
no man say he is too poor to give such an amount
as he would like to offer. Let our hard handed,
open hearted countymen, who feel desire to
do what they can for this cause, hand in their
contributions; let them give their So, their SO,
their 81, their fifty cents-it will make them feel
good when they hear, by-andby, from these
troops, that they arrived at their destination COM
fortably provided.
We are sue that the volunteers themselves
would rather know that the necessary amount
was raised from among many of their county
men, than to feel that the purses of few supplied
the requisite aid. But the wealthy are not to be
deprived of the pleasure of giving largely, re-
lieved from the responsibility of making re-
spectacle contribution. They can do it, and will
not, we dare say, be backward in showing to the
Common Council how different the people feel
from those who profess to represent them, at the
City Hall. Now is the time Tor the Park orators
to prove how sincerely they felt the sentiments
which they expressed at the time of the great
meeting last juno. There were wealthy men
among them. They talked well-they will, of
course, act well IN the present emergency.
In North Carolina, where the war was said to
be so unpopular that an extra number Of the Pre-
sdents message was ordered to be circulated
among the people, generous spirit has arisen,
and resolution has been introduced, in the legis-
lature of that State, by Mr. Gillian, distinguished
whig, appropriatipg $4,000, for the equipment
and outfit of the North Carolina regiment of
volunteers. In Abbeville, 8. c., a town number
ing in population less than one of our wards,
$4,000 was raised; and in Columbia, another town
in the same State, between $4,000 and $4,000 were
collected for similar purposes. Good examples
are not wanting, and now that we have waited
to be led in this matter by other States and dis
trc:s, it only remains for to indicate our repu-
tarion, by showing that our northern sun does
not shine less warmly upon American hearts than
does the southern, and that, though not so soon
aroused, yet, when once active, we fully equal
to any requirements which the cause of our
not closely drawn, but that they can be relaxed
when the time of need arrives
That time has come, and we shall see presently
how its demands are to be met.
s P. S. The committee appointed by the meet
ing held at Mechanics Hall, met at the Mayors
Office last evening, and passed a resolution re-
questing the Mayor to convene a special meeting
Of the Common Council for the purpose of appro.
pratng sum of $4,000 for the equipment of the
volunteers. We understand that the Mayor, in
response to the resolution, has directed both
boards to be summoned TO meet at one o'clock
this afternoon to take the matter into considera-
ton.
We shall now see which has the most influence
on the Common Council-patrotsm or dinners
