raised upwards Of three thousand treops for Ia
defence In less than three weeks, and although
at that time, II was freely. admitted that these
troops did more for certain length Of time
towards saving the capital than all others put

Never, from the time the nrst man volun'

Now, why is all this, Why do not the oiti

II certainly cannot be that they are too poor
There are many wealthy oitizsns who are max
ing money Oh Of the Government, and who have
made money BY Government contracts, who
could afford 10 contribute liberally.
Other oitiss have contributed largely towards
supporting the families Of their soldiers, and
there can be no other reason Why this city has
not contributed, except that the matter has moi
been brought to their attention.
A mass meeting for this object will be held al
the City Hall within few days, whore all may
come forward and sustain the credit and lib
erality Of the citizens Of this city and District.
