Important Action.


in earnest to carry on the war in such a man
ner as will crush out the rebellion and do it
by the swiftest and most effective means.
Committees representing the solid men and
interests of the city have just spoken on the
subject in strain that will be felt at Wash
ington. Plotting conservatives" who fear
hurting the rebels, and who try anxiously to
save them from being crushed out, may not
like what is said by the New York commit
tees; but all truly loyal men will like it; and
the president will heed it. The world moves,
and its movements are regulated by divine
laws. The action of the New York commit
tee as reported in the papers of the city is as
follows =
ga convention of committees representing
the chamber of commerce-the Union defence
committee-the common council, and other
bodies, met on Wednesday in the hall of the
chamber of commerce, and appointed a COM
mittee of ten, to consider what further action
is necessary to carry into effect the call of the
president for additional troops. The sub-com-
mittee of ten met Thursday, and the subject
of bountes was discussed, and determina-
ton expressed to continue to urge upon the
authorities the great importance of recruiting
the regiments now in the field, and on motion
OF Mr.. Jonathan Sturgis it was
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to
wait upon the governor of the state, to impress
upon him the Importance of enlisting only for
regiments in the field, and of contining the
| bounty to such enlistments until these organ
| iZations are filled to their maximum standard,
| and also to proceed to Washington to impress
upon the administration the Importance of this
measure; and to confer with these authorities
upon the correction of existing evils which re-
tard the recruiting service in this state.
| The committee consisted of Judge James
w. White, Samuel Sloan, Denning Duer,
Charles Gould and councilman Orton. The
following resolutions were also adopted as
expressive of the sense of the committee =
| Resolved, That we look upon the present
rs the crisis of the rebellion-a crisis from
/ which we see no deliyerance other than in the
most prompt and energetic action.
! Resolved, That every person and every
community of doubtful loyalty should be re-
garded as disloyal; and the announcement
should be made that we rely on no qualified
Unionists to aid us in this contest for great
principles, but trust only in the truly loyal
who will sacrifice property, life, and even
opinion for the common good.
Resolved That the time has fully come
when we must strike for our national life,
using every weapon God has given us, and
| calling to our aid every person who can be
drawn from the rebels OF added to our cause.
| That a proclamation of the commander in
| Chief declaring the provisions of the recent
| law of congress to be the sentiments of the
government and that they will be enforced.
would secure to the Union cause thousands of
laborers, thousands of fighting men, and mil
lions of cooperating well-wishers. That the
welfare of our country, the lives of loyal SOL
diers, and the happiness of loyal families, all
over the free states, demand the proclama-
ton.
Resolved, that every days delay compli-
Gates our relations, both foreign and domestic,
gives the rebels strength, and is wasting hun
dreds of good and true men; and it is far bet
ter that every rebel should perish than that
one more loyal soldier should die.
And therefore it is that we, with entire una
nimity, most respectfully and most earnestly
call upon the president to act in his capacity
as commander-in-chief of the army and navy
of the United States, and Immediately issue
the order which will take from the rebels theil
great source OF strength, whlle 1t viii dimin'
lSh thelr army by ealing to the defence OF
their homeS large numbers OF rebel officers
ana men ana we assure the president that
in this, as in every act of his administration,
the people of the free states will sustain the
poHcy' whlle the whoie civilized world will
applauu the proclaIiiauon OF emancipation.
When we consider where this was done and
who did it, these resolutions seem to us the
