Response to the late call for Troops.

MAssACHUsETTs.-At a special meeting of
the Board of Aldermen of Boston, held on the
9th, a joint Committee with the Common
Council was appointed to call public meeting
in Faneuil Hall, for the purpose of raising
the quota of troops required of Boston under
the late call. Suggestions have been made to
raise county fund of 100000 to induce
prompt enlistment. Local authorities in the
country towns are also moving vigorously in
the matter.
INDIANA.-Governor Morton's call for elev-
en- additional regiments and six batteries of
artillery, although only published on the 9TH
inst, has been responded to with the most
hearty and confident manner by prominent
and influential representatives, from over thirty
counties.
OHIo.-The organization of new Ohio regi-
ments will commence Immediately. Camps
are being established in different parts of the
State for their reception. Over eight hun
drcd privates, on furlough, have reported at
Camp Chase, and more are coming in every
day.
New HAMPSHIRE passed the
Legislature on the 9th, unanimously pledging
the Granite State to furnish her full quota Of
soldiers under the late call. Meetings are be-
ing held, to encourage volunteers, in all parts
of the State.

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT TO THE ARMY.-The
President returned on the night of the 10th
from visit to the army of General Mcclellan,
where he spent some time, and gives to his
friends highly gratifying state of facts, all OF
which 1t would be improper to publish. He
found the army, however, in the most effec-
tive condition, and in much larger force than
public rumor generally accorded. While the
President was there review of the entire
army took place in his presence and of all the
generals and their stats. The sight is said to
have been imposing in the extreme, the latter
part of the review being by moonlight, the
enthusiasm of the troops, at seeing the Presi-
dent, knew no bounds and the most deafening
cheers we're given wherever be appeared. The
President reports that the loss in killed,
wounded, and missing will not exceed fifteen
thousand for all the late battles.

THEN AND Now.-In 1851 jeff. Davis adj
vocated the secession of the Southern States
from the Union, and ran on that issue as
candidate for Governor of Mississippi.
Henry Stuart Foote, prominent member of
the Whig party, the nominee of the
Unionists of the State for that position. An
animated contest ensued, both candidates ad-
dressing large audiences on the question of
Union or no Union. The following was the
result of the election: For Henry Stuart
Foote 28,738; For Jefferson Davis 27,7I9 !:
Union majority 1,009. Ten years later, 1861
nine-tenths of the people of Mississippi were
in favor of disunion and it is stated that the
same Henry Stuart Foote referred to above is
now passive if not an active Secessionist.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, HARRISBURG
July 5th, 1862.


To The Editor of The EUening Bulletin:
In answer to the inquiry which appears in
the EUening Bulletin of this evening, | deem
it just to the Governors of Iowa and Delaware
to make an explanation as to the memorial
presented to the President last week, by the
Governors of loyal States, offering addit ional
troops to suppress the rebellion.
At the time the memorial was prepared we
could not reach, by telegraph, either Cover
nor kirkwood or Burton, and it was sent to
Washington without replies from them. On my
return to Harrisburg, on the morning of the
4th inst, | received a letter from Governor
Burton, asking that his name be resigned to
the memorial, and expressing, for the people
OF Delaware, his cordial approval of the OFFER
and his willingness to cooperate to any ex-
tent, in all just measures for the active prose
cution of the war for the suppression of the
rebellion.
The letter OF Governor Burton was imme-
diately transmitted to the War Department
and there is no doubt his name has been ap-
pended to the memorial ,and that the public will
be informed.
Failing to reach Governor Kirkwood | uni
ted in despatch with Governor Morgan, of
New York, to Messrs. Grimes and Harlan SEN
ators from Iowa, asking them to call at the
War Department, and, if they were willing to
assume the responsibility, to sign the name of
the Governor to the memorial. | have let
ter from them in which they say they called
at the Department to sign the name of the
Governor, they know it would meet his en-
tire appreciation, but that the memorial had
already been published. There can be no
doubt the Governor of Iowa will signify his
appreciation.
am, very respectfully, yours &c,

The Tender of Troops by the Loyal Governors.

The Tender of Troops by the Loyal Governors.
The following letter from Gov. Curtin puts
to rest some misapprehension in regard to the
unanimity which existed among the loyal gov
ernors of the loyal states, in the tender of
troops to the President of the United States.
The letter is addressed to the Erening Bulletin,
on account of certain statements which ap-
peared in that journal on this subject:

Influence of Smiles.

A smile is indeed thing OF beauty
Whether living on the lips OF gladstone youth
or Pickering Oh the dying features OF worm

smile vet holds its nature-yet 1t is beautiful
Magic turks therein, and sways the human
heart as words never can, quickens its quiet
pulse, Or soo.hes and Gains the hnrrlc /
,hrob as they may need. And beneath the
encouraging influence of one sweet unfolding
smile, the heart itself may yield its mad ~
tent, if not cast cut forever its evil prompt
iDgs and It's dark propcnsities, and so may the
smiles OF derision madden beyond what the
utmost moIds can DO, even as the smile OF
praise will spur humanity TO great and noble
deeds beyond the approach of al! other promp-
tipgs. Its silent power sinks In the heart,
and heals some new made thrust, as sweetIy
and gently as falls the mysterious Gew from
heaven. And the smile of love; it beams In
the mothers eyes as she sees beauty IN her
infants face, and silent laugh Of unknown
Joy from her darling babe It plays with
stronger and more thrilling magic on the
madens lovely countenance, as her hearts

value in needless distance between them.
And with deeper, purer joy. it comes to the
wife's glad face when her husbands fond
gaze tells her how much is gained since he
called her wife. Holy, beautiful indeed, is
the smile Of fathom'ess and perfect love. loo
seldom, indeed, does it ive-too seld IN ioh-
tens heavy cares and earthly sorrows. Too
seldom does it have brth-too often does
it soon leave life's pathway, even if fairly
