The meeting was called to order at O'Clock by
the President, q. S. Moves, Esq.
Reports from COMMITTEES being called for, MIR.
Murtagh, from the committee appointed at the
previous meeting to call on Gen Fry, reported
that they had performed that mission, and were
kindly received by that officer. To their re-
quest he replied that he should decline giving
any more credits to the city for voluntary en-
listments made prior to the present draft. He
thought he had been liberal in the 80 per cent.
which he had allowed upon the enrolment.
In seh-defence, If credits were insisted upon,
he would be compelled to open the case and
add on the allowance. The speaker stated that
one credit had been allowed in the person Of a
soldier who had enlisted at the Arsenal since
the beginning of their efforts to fill the quota.
Mr.. Semmes reported that he had put in four
men yesterday, reducing the quota to 106. Re-
cruts were presenting themselves very fast,
and if he had twelve days more he could fill
the quota. The draft for this ward would take
place on Thursday next.
A committee Of colored citizens, by their
chairman, Mr.. John F N. Wilkinson, reported
that from two meetings OF their people, held on
Monday and Tuesday evenings, they had col
lected the sum of $119, which amount he hand
ed over to the treasurer, Mr.. Semmes.
Mr.. Elvans desired to know il any part of
the $4,000 voted by the Council on Monday
evening could be obtained in furtherance Of
the important objects OF these meetings.
MIR. Murtagh replied that he had spoken to-
the Mayor UPON the subject and that gentle
mans opinion was that the appropriation could
not be made available.
