Recruiting.
Another mass meeting was held in Park
street church vestry, Boston, Wednesday
evening. Quite number of speeches were
made, short, and very much to the point.
The burden of them was-''I am going to the
war, will you come along? Join the Cadet
regiment, company G., you will be sure of
good comrades, and christian fellowship,
The New England Guard regiment is fast
filling up from the yonng men, merchants
clerks and others in Boston and vicinity. 1t
is said that 600 have already joined their
ranks.
A third company of three years men is to
be raised in Roxbury, and Lieut.. Hooper of
the 18th Massachusetts is proposed for cap
tain, John L. Swift, Esq, as first lieutenant,
and Mr.. Otis of the 22d as second lieutenant
This company must be raised by Saturday
night, and the Horse Guard are to take hold
of the matter in earnest, and there is little
doubt they will have the company full in the
time named. The quota of Chelsea under
the first call is more than full, a nucleus re-
naming for the nine months quota. Recruit
ing is still going on. The young men of Chel-
sea have done nobly in raising full compa-
ny for three years part of the quota of
that city. One week ago the enlistment roll
was opened, and Thursday the company had
| about 10 from which to select the maximum
number. The company are anxious to be at
tached to the 34th, under Col. Wells.
The staff and line officers OF the Sth regi-
ment Massachusetts volunteer militia met at
the Agawam House, Ipswich, Wednesday, for
consultation. Col. Coffin presided, and the
different captains reported desire on the
part of their commands to again go into ac
tive service, although some deemed it unmili-
| tary for troops already subject to orders to
| ''volunteer." 1t was therefore unanimously
| resolved, that the commanding officer of the
regiment be instructed to wait upon the gov
ernor and report the regiment ready for duty,
and to ascertain his views and intentions
The captains agreed that it would be an easy
| task to recruit their respective companies to
| their full strength at once. and that the ''old
| eighth" could go into active service again with
at least one half of those who were in its
ranks last year.
Bristol, n. H., offers 5000 bounty for vol
unteers. Clifford has done handsome thing :;
it gives $3.50 each for $50 volunteers, and has
voted bounty of 800 to those already in
the service from that town. Some of the
towns in New Hampshire which have been
noted for their secession proclivities, and
| where enlistments have been discouraged, are
now likely to reap the fruit of their unpatriotic
| course. They will be compelled to contribute
to the service number equal to the average
furnished by other towns Sanbornton is so
far in arrears that bounty of $500 is offered
to encourage enlstments. 1t is now thought
that the first three hundred thousand volun-
teers will be obtained in New Hampshire
without drafting, except in few towns which
neglect to take the necessary measures to fur
nish their quota.
The drafting excitement in Baltimore is
rather on the increase. correspondent
writing from there on the 1lth, says: ''Rebels
talk loudly of resisting, and the government
is ready. Several hundred fugtives have
been turned back at the various depots. All
points of exit by land and water are now
guarded by soldiers. Gen. Wool refuses to
let anybody leave town, unless he gets a per-
NIT from provost marshal Major Jones, OF his
staff. Fifty odd Irish patriots, trying to es-
cape by the Hartford road on Saturday, were
stopped by the guard"
number of ''Skedaddle Rangers" were
iOuiN oh bOdlu bhS sup LSISu, at 1lnlauel-
phia, bound for Liverpool, on the 18th. One
man was found imbedded in blankets to the
depth of two or three feet, and when brought
again 'into this breathing world" he was
sweltering with the heat and his color some
what resembled boiled lobster. Another
one, said to be a very wealthy citizen, was
found disguised as a sailor and had taken his
place among the crew. Some were found in
the lowermOst parts of the vessel in cases and
boxes, and, in fact, in every conceivable
hiding place on bvSrd. There was a
good deal of excitement when the ship sailed.
The Press says - "Groans and Kisses
greeted the ship as she left the wharf, and
all sorts of imprecatons were heaped on the
whole party on board-such as wishing that
she and her cargo would be consigned to the
| lowermost depths of ocean, and that her pas
sengers would go 10 considerable warmer
latitude than at present exists upon this up
per EARTH The exhibition of white handker-
chiefs by the relatives Of fugitive passengers
on the wharf caused most tremendous groans
of indignation from the swetering crowd of
patriotic persons on the wharf. No flag of
truce, 'hang the cowards,' down with the
traitors and various other CALCULATIONS es-
capped from the mouths of the immense throng
as if by one mighty impulse"
