"A Committee Of Three bppetated JroSs each Wd,d 10
Solicit and Rsceirs Contributions-ln pursuance OF
the call published In our paper Of yesterday, .
meeting WAS held last evening In the Council
Chamber, in the city Hall, to encourage the On.
listment Of volunteers In ths-City Of Warrington,
for its quota, under the late call Of the President
for soO, 900 more troops.
Mr.. c. II. Utermehle called the meeting 10 order,
and moved that his honor, Richard Ws,laeh, ESQ,
tSe Mayor Of the city, be declared president, which
WAS unsnimously agreed to.
The Mayor on taking the chair said he presumed
the reason for his appointment 10 preside over this
meetingwas more froE the position he held in the
city, than from any merit Of his own. He was
with them, however, on this subject, and hoped
that something would bs done to assist ths Gov
eminent, by nling the quota Of this city with vol.
unteers to aid In crushing the rebellion.
On motion Of Mr.. uttrmehle, Mr.. =. L. Harvey,
Secretary Of the Board Of Common Council, was
elected Secretary. 1,s,,. ,as.'. = u p
1hs Mayor then stated ths object ofths meeting,
which was to promote and encourage the enlist'
ment Of volunteers bv giving what little means We
NAV have, sad tAose who have not the means TO
give TO use their exertions to promote that object
II was q matter In which all were deeply Infer
ested and he TRUSTED that all present would feel II
their duty to do all In their power to encourage
and facilitate recruiting In the oity. He did not
have much faith In mass meetings, and wsuld sus-
sest that the gentlemen who had signed the call
should divide the city Into distrcts, and take hold
Of the matter BY soliciting subscriptions, or ap-
pointeoo mittees, consisting OF Drominspt citizens,
10 10 around and collect moosy. 50. I.Y..
MI. p. y. Bacon moved that committse Of tAfes
from each ward, be appoiuted to solioit subscrip
tons. ..sEr ....... 'r % Fr'r.' .
Mr.. John sessford hoped the Secretary would
read the call for the meeting, with the names ~.
tached for the purpose Of ascsrtaining how many
of them were present. He did not believe there
was one half Of them in the room. He wished to
zee whsthsr they had made this call sineerely.
We were here to Join In carrying out this object
and for one he was willing snd ready ts enter into
this lause with all his heart And soul, and show
respect to his native city. ,Whstsver the meeting
should do on the subject would meet his hearty
Appreciation, but when his fellow-citizens had
called meeting for this purpose, they ought to b
here and he dsslrsd the secretary to read thu
names attached to the cali, to sss Who were here
and who were sincere in the matter.
The secretary read the names, and the following
were present.
Bacon Co., sivussa Ennis, Murray b senmes
Hinton Teel, Hon. Richard WallAeh, C. II. Utsr
lpehle, J. II. G. McCutchen, Barbour b semmes, n
BeAll.
\ Mr. r. r. Dorsett hoped that some means woulf
be used to get men for the Government, not Soaey
He would be glad to see tive or three fesinenti
sent from this district, with oneers and men from
our own city. Let Us ensourass ths young men te
enlist, and let the old men give the monsy.
The Mayor suggested that It required money te
get the mea. ..y ..nn. ..., .,f
Ms. W. Y. Hawiey said he was not an old resi-
dent Of the city, but he had been In service an
had raised recruits, and would move to amend tn,
motion OF Mr.. Bacon by appointing . committs o
seven young men ~ recruiting ofdeers, and this
these young ot the sity make 1t their business
out Of otics hours, to raise recruits snd sniis
men. He stated that he was authorized b.
sykes, Chadwick b Co. to say that they woul
give 800 to the first ten men enlisted In tn
city, aud that he (Mr. H., of the firm OF Rice
Hawiey,) would give $50 to the next i've. LAP
pisuse l He thought this was the way to rails
money and raise men. He did not like the idea o
appointing committees TO go about the city. H
had seen meetings like this called before, wher
men got up and made short speeches, and the
went home, and thought nothing more Of H.. HI
office was a recruiting oince, at all times, an
when q man came there desiring to enlist, he too
hin to place where he could enlist. He hope
oil that were in favor Of crushing out the rebe
lion would act In this matter, and act with energ
and promptness. .... -...... ...
Mr. Bacon accepted the amendment, but 1t wa
subsequently agreed that the Chair appoint con
mittee OF three from each ward, with the privieg
of appointing q sub committee OF seven from eac

courage enlistments.

~ power to sppoint treasurer to receive their CO

Mr.. John G. Adams desired to know whsther
was intended to leave Georgetown and the count
OF Washington out In the cold Laughter.l
The Mayor was Of the opinion that this was
meeting strictly Of the citizens OF Washingto
He had no doubt, however, that Georgetown al
the county Of Washington would themselves q
promptly on this subject.
Mr. p. L. Harvey inquired II 1t was settled as
how many men were required ss the quota fro
tbe District.
Capt. scheetz replied that he had ~ yet receiv,
10 order In relation to the number required und
the lsst call, but thought that II would not be
large as was required under the late draft,

tended to the city Of Georgetown and the ooun
of Washington to appoint committees to act
conjunction with the committee appointed her
u which was agreed to.
