Monday last having been appointed for
a war mass meeting at patriotic old Nor
gantown, one OF our reporters was detailed
to furnish report for the readers of the
Intsligencer. We subjoin as nuch of it as
we have room for to-day:
At an early hour the street and Court
House yard were alive with the substantial
and earnest citizens, of MorgantOwn and
the surrounding country, who had come
in partly on business at Court, but chiefly
to hear what might be said by the speak
ers about the state of the country and the
exigences of public affairs, aud 10 deter
mine what was to be done. At one
o'clock they were summoned together by
the ringing of the bell in the Court House,
where the speaking took place. The
Court room was full to repletion.
BY way of organizing the meeting, Gen.
Leroy Kramer nominated for President
WV. PRICE, Esq, an elderly and solid
looking gentleman, who presided with
dignity aud ability. The nomination was
confirmed, and FRANCIS MEDARA (the Post
mastery appointed Secretary.
The following gentlemen were Domlna-
ted and confirmed as Vice Presidents, on
motion of Francis 'Nledara: Col. HENRY
DERING, JOHN WILDMAN, ANDREW WYLIE,
CHAs. II. BURGESS, Thomas TARLEToS,
PsRHEL SIMPSON and WIN. FEAR.
Gen. Kramer moved the appointment of
committee to draft resolutions expressive
of the sense of the meeting.
The following gentlemen were appOinted,
DR. J. V. BoUGHNER, GAIT. JOSEPH SNYDER,
WM. LAzIER, Col. Henry DERING. J. NJ.
HAGANs, Col. r. FINNELL, REV. j B. Nc.
CoRMIcK, REV. PETER T. LAIsHLEY, ISAAC
ConDER and JAMES COURTNEY.
This Committee, it may be remarked pa
renthetically, was made up of some of the
very best and most intelligent men of the
town and county.
The Committee retired, and the PREsr-
DENT took occasion to say few words by
way of paving the way for what was to
follow. He reminded the auditory that
the President of the United States had
called for 100000 more volunteers from
the loyal States, and that every loyal State
PNShSN
share. As loyal county in loyal West
ern Virginia, the call was upon them as
much as any other county in any other
State. To take steps for raising the quota
of Monougalia county, was the object of
the present meeting. Individually, he
would say they ought to respond heartily,
certainly and quickly. He would have
been glad if the 100000 bad been called
for and organized year ago and if there
was anything wrong about the Govern
ment, it was its remissness in calling out
men enough at an earlier day to crush
this unrighteous, uuholy aud diabOlical
rebellion. They had hundreds and thous-
auds of young and hearty men who ought
to go, yet lying at home. He would not
have been present to-day, if age had not
kept him out of the ranks of tho army of
the Republic. There he might have been
of some use, as it was, he was compara-
lively useless to the cause; but if the gov
eminent of the State could place him Mt
any post where he could be of advantage.
he Was ready to take it to-day.
Carr. SNIDER then came forward TO in
troduce the first speaker of the occasion.
Before doing 80, he took occasion to say
that they had come together to take into
consideration matters of vital interest to
