appointment, and together paid into the hands
Of the treasurer the sum of S5,O79.19.
On motion, r. H. Graham, Esq, was relieved
from duty as collector, and B. s. Donelson was
appointed to MI the vacancy Dr. e. r Fen

On motion, Capt. ]. r. Mcconnell was added
10 the cOmmltuoe.
On motion, the ward exemption club were
requested to meet at the hall at o'clock this
Tuesday evening, one hour previous to the
general meeting OF the citizens.
Justice Boswell moved that the Association
pledge itself to raise whatever amout might be
necessary to fill the quota Of the ward, and
that no man drafted should leave the ward;
which was carried with enthusiasm.
Mr.. r. f. Bartle suggested that large sum
OF money might be collected at the Arsenal If
arrangements could be made so that their sub.
ScriDtIOnS, naVahfo the first Of the month. cOnlh
be received.
Mr.. Jas. King stated that he had made large
collections at the Arsenal, which would be
paid on pay day, for which he and Mr. Dud-
ley would be personally responsible, and Mr..
Semmes would advance the money.
At this point q delegation of colored men en-
tered the roem, headed by Mr.. John F. n VIII
kinson, and presented to the association the
sum of $401 49, the result of a meeting of the
colored people at the Wesley Zion Church. He
stated that the notice of the meeting had been
so short that the number present was not SO
large as desired With sufficient time they
could collect $4,000 instead of $500. Meetings
would be held every evening until the draft
took place.
A Communication was received from Colin
Cursor, stating that Sl25 OF the $500 had been
collected by the colored committee.
A complimentary vote to the colored people
appreciatory of their efforts in raising this
handsome amount was unanimously passed.
On motion the following gentlemen were ad-
ded to the collection committee b. F. Barker,
Alexander Skinner, George Z. Collision, j. G.
Dudley, w. a. Hughes, J. Nanskiver, James
La Fontaine, John Webster, Levi Jones, H. S.

Springman, John Strainer, John Amery, w.
H. West, Jonas B. Ellis, Ohio Boswell, G.. r.
Thompson, George Wright, William Wise,
Captain Gedney, Justice Boswell, T. Hunt.
Mr.. Semmes suggested that in view OF the fact
that the association had pledged itself to fill the
quota of the ward 1t would be we'll for those
present to come forward and state what amount
they would pledge themselves to give, provi.
ded 1t was filled, the money not to be used I'M
less needed for that purpose.
The speaker headed the list with $500, and in
a very few moments, the sum of S2,l70 was
subscribed.
The collections for the evening were then
stated by the secretary as follows From col.
leetors, @5, 097l9; collection from coiored PEG
pie, $40l.s2; new subscriptions, $59311; guar
anty fund, 50 40; total, IS 234.22. |
