FOURTEENTH WARD CITIZENS GUARD.

Another meeting of the Fourteenth Ward
Citizens Guard was held last night at the
armoIy on Plum-street, between Seventh
and Eighth, D. f. Meaders, Esq, acting as
Chairman. After the meeting had been
called to order, on motion, Captain Baldwin,
of the Zouave Guard, was requested to act
as drill master, and the company imme.
diately formed in line and the drilling COM
menced. Captain Baldwin is an efficient
officer, and, if he could be prevailed upon to
take the matter in hand, would in short
time make soldier OF every man in the
ward. There will be another meeting this
evening, at seven o'clock, at the same place,
and IL is hoped every man in the ward who
takes any interest in the welfare of his coun-
try will be on hand and swell up the ranks.

INTERESTING TO VOLUNTEERS.
The Secretary of War has directed that the
Paymaster General of the army shall arrange
for the payment of volunteers as directed by
the provisions of the act of Congress relating
thereto, dated July "a, and as amended Au.
gust 6, 1861, viz When organized and ae-
cepted by the Governors of the several
States, without regard to the date of muster
ing into the service of the United States, pro-
vided payment has not been made by the
respective States for which the Government
will eventually be liable. When volunteer
regiments have been accepted by the War
Department upon what are termed inde-
pendent acceptances, pay will be allowed
from the date of the organization of each
company, with the minimum number of men.
Satisfactory evidence in each case must be
shown.
