War Needing in st. Charles City.

The mass meeting in this place on
Saturday, called for the purpose of or.
ganizing a company of volunteers for
the war, was indeed a brilliant affair
1t was estimated that more than a
thousand people were present-far-
mers who had left their plows in the
field-housewives who forgot their
domestic cares-fathers and sons
mothers and daughters--all congrega-
ted to take counsel for the defence of
the Government. This demonstration
in a sparsely settled country like ours,
showed the depth of feeling, the pat
riotic ardor, that swelled the breasts
of our prairie yeomanry. A glorious
sight, and one that did the patriotic
heart good, was it, to witness the
beautiful National Flags floating from
both the Republican and Democratic
Flag Stats on the Public Square, each
emblazoned with the galaxy Of full
81 stars. But the greatest proof Of
the sincerity Of this demonstration
was the fact that sirtyfour men
promptly responded to the call for vol
unteers, and with alacrity came for
ward and signed their names to the
roll. These we're mostly young men
full of the ardor of youth, and eager
Ito do or die" for their country
Their robust, hcalthful look and gen
orally fine appearance were remarked

volunteers are accepted, and they e

account of them.
