One WAY THAT WILL Do IT.--Our anxious
friends who desire to see the quota of this city
made up promptly, may accomplish the desire
OF their hearts within twenty-four hours, if
they will. To those who can, we say, 60 into
the ranks but to those who cannot get sub
Stttute. \ number of our citizens, who are
neither wealthy nor honored with military til
ties, have done this within day or two, and
have not thought it worthy of mention, except
as an example. If viewed as an insignificant
tax on patriotism (if any can so look at it), its
amount cannot deter any hearty supporter of
our government, who has the little means it
requires; or if it be considered only as a very
proper and natural expression of good will
towards some one brave man who offers the
infinitely larger and priceless gift of his life;
or, if man can forget such consideration,
and yet is susceptible to those which touch
his local pride, from whatever side he looks,
reasons enough exist for doing it, and doing it
to-day. One hundred men can finish the
work. They can make all further public
meetings unnecessary, and each do deed
worth at least hundred eloquent" speeches.
We would not have our municipal rulers
offer one mill more than they have, nor con-
tinue the present bounty one day beyond the
time they have named. We doubt whether,
within that time, the requisite number can be
had without more active cooperation from the
citizens, although we have not doubt that it
would be, if few weeks more were given.
| But the urgency of the call forbids us to think
of any such delay. So we say again, secure
| your substitute now, and see that he fills one
of the vacant places in an old regiment. ~

In Portland, on the Goth, the city authori-
ties attempted seizure of liquors in the
store of Mr.. James McGlinchy. A police
force, with warrant in due form, was sent for
the purpose. Their appearance was the sig
nal for the gathering of a large crowd, with
very decided demonstrations of row. Mat
tiers looked so threatening that Mr.. McGlin-
chy, who was absent, was sent for, and the
mayor, accompanied by city solicitor Fox,
appeared and read the riot act from cart. In
stead of dispensing, the crowd increased and
the danger of very serious and bloody riot
became imminent. After considerable delay
Mr.. McGlinchy appeared, made several con-
ciliatory addresses to the assemblage, entreat-
ing them to dispense, declaring his purpose to
acquiesce in the seizure of the liquors and test
the legality of the proceedings before the
courts. He accordingly ordered up his own
dray and rolled the first barrel of the liquors,
which the police had vainly tried to get out
upon the dray himself. The affair was then
soon over and the crowd dispersed.

the Washington hotel halls for some hours.
