A committee was appointed to prepare

as the advantage of filling the quota of the

The Committee recommended that all
other Union men of the county who might
be present at Grafton on the day of the Con-
Vention be requested and authorized to

viz: Messrs. A. W. Campbell, John Dom

and A. B. Caldwell, to the list of dele
gates, which motion was adopted.
The Committee further reported the fol-
lowing resolutions:
ResOlVed, That the Union people of this
county entertain high appreciation of
character of Governor Boreman as the
chief magistrate of the State, and they
would be well pleased to see him re. nomi-
ted at Grafton.
RssOlUed, That the delegates from this
county are instructed to cooperate with
the delegates from the other counties in
this Congressional district at the State
Convention in the selection of q candidate
for Congress.
ReSOlUsd, That we heartily endorse and
approve the late call of the President for
10000 additional troops, and that we
recommend that the sum of - dollars be
levied by the Supervisors of the county
wherewith to assist in filling our quota.
The report of the Committee was receiv-
ed aud adopted by the meeting.
Considerable debate was had as to the
amount with which the blank in the last
resolution should be filed. Three hun
dred dollars, the same as before, was gen.
orally suggested; and it was further sug-
gested that the payment of it should be
graded as is the government bounty, viz:
one hundred dollars for one year, two
hundred for two years, and three hundred
dollars for three year enlistments. a dis
custom. was also had as to the payment of
bounties to those who.had been credited,
over and above the quota, to the county
in the last call under the superstition that
they were to get bounty. The whole mat
ter was adjourned over until Tuesday Ito
morrow night, at which time another
meeting, larger than that of Saturday
night, it is hoped, will be held.
