PHILADELPHIA AROUsING TO MEET
TIE TRAITORS.
ONE HUNDRED DAYS MEN


We are glad to chronicle the fact that our citi-
zens are moving with great activity in obedience
20 the call Of tho Governor for volunteers for the
State defense, and that already some six or more
embryo regiments are in process offormation.
Besides the regiments noticed yesterday, the
Blue Reserves arc also acting la the matter, and
tomorrow morning two companies, f. and f.
will meet at Their armory for the purpose Of COM
peting arrangements for leaving the city. This
evening the call Of the Philadelphia Union Ar
tillcry Guard will be responded TO at Broad and
Race streets, and the Keystone Battery are hold
ing themselves in readiness to leave at a very
early date.
A nucleus Of regiment to be called the Com
mcrcal Regiment has also been formed This
regiment will be commanded by Colonel Lechler
an officer who was attached to General Mcade's
staff in 1862, and with the l7Gth Pennsylvania
Regiment, and who, previous to that was
Quarcrmaster Of the 4th Pennsylvania Reserves
This officer is one of known ability, and in all
departments Of the regiment the best military
skill will be employed. a meeting Of the mem
bers Of this regiment will be held at SAMSON
Street Hall this evening,
Those who signed the rolls Of the National
| now come forward az rapidly as possible rs il is
| the desire Of Colonel Ncf 10 organize a splendid
| regiment for service in very few days At the
same time Others wishing TO join this tine Organi-
zation should not delay an hour in 5gnifying
| their intention In the premises
In other quarters, also, there Is evidence Of a
| hearty enthusiasm in the mater The old I'd
| Regiment, of the I'd Brigade Qrish), is TO be immc-
! diatCly filled up for service. The Minute Men
! will hold a meeting this evening Company A,
] Volunteers.
/ and throughout the city various Independents
companies now IN existence arr being recruited to
| the full standard. The 2)th Regiment goes into
| Damp this morning
| An additional induccment to volunteer is offered
! by the ordinance which pass d both branches of
! City Councils yesterday, providing for the pay
mcnt Of bounty of $50 10 all one hundred days
| men volunteering in Philadelphia regiments.
! This ordinance but awaits the signature of the
| Mayor, who will no doubt speedily approve It,
| and the bounty will be paid over to all those thus
! ell strR.
We trust, however, that concentration may be
the order OF the hour the matter Of Cnlistmguts,
I and that regiments which already have TecOg-
| ni2ed existence will be recruited up 10 full
standard before the formation of other regiments
arc attempted. Thus will the call of the Gov
ernor be all the more spcedi Y aus swered, and the
danger which now threatens our borders the
sooner ayerted
THE DRArT.--In relation to the furnishing OF
substitutes by citizens who, though free from
the draft, yet from patriotic motives desire
to aid the Government by furnishing repre-
sentatiyes, the Provost Marshal General has de-
/ cjded that all such can furnish personal repre-
sentatyes in the service, either aliens or citizens
| who are enrolled and liable TO draft.
The City Bounty Commission states that the
city bounty Of two hundred and fifty dollars will
| be paid in cases where enrolled citizens Of Phia-
! dclphia, in advance of the draft, put in three
years substitutes not habc to draft, and proper
credit is given upon the quota of their districts
If citizens not enrolled put in substitutes, the
substitute is regarded as a volunteer, and on a
proper evidence of his being credited is entitled
10 the bounty.
