OF recruiting in this oounty,--our sleep some
nights being restricted to less than three hours.
Can the editor of the Standard say as much

.lugs and innuendoes as the Standards, are
a,ither manly or honorable. Why don't you

must make our army outnumber the enemy.
To do this we must give of our means to us

quarters OF Col Ingalls, soon sileneed their
guns after they opened A few Of our men
were struck, but no serious damage was su,-

Harrison's Landing, July 81.
Steamers have gone to City Point to-day
to receive the balance of sick and wounded
from Richmond. The health Of the army is
gradually improving. II is stated by For
tress Monroe correspondence that party
of rebels on Friday evening crossed the
river above Harrison's Landing and drove off
500 head Of cattle belonging to the army Of
the Potomac, and that these cattle were a

Ferrin, Esq, was ready to respond also, and
ne proposed to procure the Autographs Of ev-

preserved where we could all look upon the
brave defenders of the town and the country
Although the names Of others of our prom
iuent business and moneyed men do not ap-
pear on the record, it is understood that they
all respond heartily and checrfully to tho call
that is made upon them for money; and more
than that, many hold themselves as minute
mcn, ready to rush TO arms at the further de-
mands for men that may yet be made
While these propositions were being made,
the men were constantly coming forward,
each new levy being greeted with shouts OF
applause from all present, and showers of boz
quets from the ladies,
The Chairman stated that one man who had
come forward left behind him four small chill
dreu, without mother to protect then,, and
asked the ladies to pledge themselves to see
that these children were cared for and pro-
tected in his ab cncc. Their response was
what might have been expecied--one uniyet-
sal aye.

aid il had been said to him that his clerk
Mr.. L. NJ Wyman-wished to 20 rhe would

OF restraining man that was willing 20 go.
and if Mr. Wymln wanted TO go he should
give his consent, though 10 doing so be
should lose faithful man ana one whose
services were invaluable to hun. He did not
want to part with him, but if he went and re-
tu-ned as faithful a man as he lefs him, he
should have his place again with extra pay.
Tlis was a specimen Of selfsacrfce on the
part of Mr.. Carlton which is worthy of en-
uhton by Others.
The Chairman then read the list of volun-
teers, as follows
