We would call the attention of every
citizen to the notice from the Committee
of Arrangements of the mass meeting to
be held at the Court House tonight. In
many respects this meeting will be one Of
the most important assembIages in our
midst since the war began. A call has
been made for certain number of troops.
The country must furnish them between
this and the 10th of March. On that day
draft for the deficit is to be ordered. =
West Virginia must furnish her proper.
ton, aud Ohio county, as part of the
State, her sub-proporLiou. The meeting
tonight is to ascertain whether our quota
will be filled by volunteers or copscripts,
We have our choice. One or the other We
must furnish. This is a matter that vi.
tally interests every citizen. Already
other counties are moving. Brooke has
made her levy. Marshall will make hers
this week. Those disposed to enlist will
leave our midst aud go to the counties
paying bounties, unless we take imme.
diate steps in the same direction. 1t is
not for US here to lag behind. but to lead
the way. Our quota is estimated at two
hundred men. II We raise this number
there will be no draft in our midst; If we
do not there certainly will be. Let us
have no draft when it can be so easily and
SO hOuOrably avoided by the payment Of q

ing last. We had the pleasure OF a con.
vsrsatiOn with him on Saturday.
Col. Powell has become extensivelv
known throughout West Virginia and the
bordering country, both on account ofwhat
he has done himself and on account q
what bias been done to him. The Rich.
mOnd papers have heralded him to thei,
readers at regular intervals as conceived
Powell" aud apparently with as much
gusto as if they had captured the ancien,
POlyPhemus himself, who was aterrible
though blind" We should suppose tina,
not only they but their readers have had,
and still do have, quite a sapsrstitious
dread of him, from the psn and ink pic
lures which they have painted of him.
1t is not necessary for US to refresh the
recollection Of our readers with the ante.
cedents of Col. Powell. No officer In the
West Virginia service is better Known
He is especially we'll known to the people
OF Wheeling ss one of our old residents.

madam enCouter.with a rebel force, superior
in numbers, by which they had greatly tiis.
tinguished themselves for soldierly ouali-
ties. The rebels claimed that in that fight
Dol. Powell had killed some of their men
after they had surrendered, and that he
had in other ways waged barbarous and
inhumAn warfare upon chem, BY their
false reports they had mseuified him into
sort of military monster, and il was. ON
account Of these reports and to satisfy
their vengeance therefore that he M
