RESPONSE FROM BERLIN.

RESPONSE FROM BERLIN.
The War Meeting held in Berlin, Thursday af-
temon, Aug. IA, was a decided success. The
meeting was called to order by J. w. Whelock,
Town CLERK, and William NJ. Ellis was chosen to
preside. Speeches Of an earnest and patriotic
character were made which brought out the enthu-
siasm Of the people, when Mr. George S. John
son introduced a resolution 10 pay each volunteer
who should enlist to fill up the quota Of the town
for the old regiments in the service of the United
States, the sum Of $50 which was enthusiastically
adopted. Invitation was then extended to those
desrous Of enlisting to dbmo forward and give
their names and in less than as many minutes, five
were given aud greeted with cheers from the peo-
pie and while men continued TO come forward,
offering their lives if need be, as a sacrifice for
their nations honor aud the exterdhaation Of this
wicked rcbcllion-fathers giving up their only sons
wives, their husbands-chdren, their fathers
sisters their brothers-friends, their friends the
scene became affecting. What then became those
who could not from attending circumstances be
permitted thus to sacrifice - simply to do what
they did-put their hands into their pockets and
there they found duty to perform, which was re-
sponded to nobly until private bounty to be dis
bursed equally among ali the recruit. was raised.
