A meeting Of the citizens of Evans
vile is called tonight at the Court
House for the purpose Of taking into
consideration the propriety of raising
the quota of Pigeon Township By Volun-
teers. This is matter Of great import
ance, and one to which we have called
the attention of the people several times
already Two thousand men in Pigeon
Township are liable to draft. Two hun
dred soldiers are called for and must be
furnished. There are at least two hun
bred individuals in our city who would
have no objection to volunteering, pro
vided liberal bounty was paid by those
who stay at home to make money. It
is not to be expected that the City Coun-
Gil should move in this matter and ap-
propriate money before they are asked
to do SO by their constituents. We are
confident, however, that the Mayor and
Common Council will do their whols
duty in the premises, and do il cheerful
~. All that is required to secure their
services is for the people to assemble
and ask them to make such an appro
priation as the exigency seems to re
quire.
We trust, therefore, that there will b.
a large turnout Of the people tonight
A small attendance viii be regarded a
an indication that the people are indii
ferent to the draf. and prefer that mod
OF raising troops. Come out, friends
and determine whether there shall be al
effort to raise our quota Of troops 0
leave the question to be decided By th
lottery box"

Snow SToRM-The snow storm that
set.in yesterday morning has increased
in intensity all day, and at this writing
four o'clock-bids fair to continue
until late hour, and perhaps all night.
The snow is very wet and heavy, and
already lies some two or three inches
deep.
The soft condition Of the ground rem
ders the streets extremely muddy and
sloppy
More snow has fallen in this region
this season than during any period of
the same length for several years.

saS- Last Thursday the Veteran Re-
serves that had been stationed here for
some time past, left town. We wish to
bear testimony to their uniform good
conduct while here. They have, we
think no reason to complain of their
treatment at the hands Of our citizens.
We are told that mutual attachment
had sprung up between them and some
Of our good danes, and that the latter
wept freely over their departure. Sail

A ike phenomenon would no doubt
be manifested in this latitude were the

Protection TO KENTUCKY. Governor
Bramlette has given Col NJ C Taylor
Of the 18th Ky, infantry, lately muster
ed out of the service, permission to
raise a regiment of mounted infantry to
operate in the State against the rebel
thieves who now roam and depredate at
will through the country. This is a
move in the right direction, and We
have no doubt but that Col Taylor, who
is q gallant officer, will soon be able to
make up his regiment from veterans
whose term has expired.
1t is simply suicide for these disehArg-
ed soldiers to go home while the country
is full of guerrilla assassins, as they will
be hunted down and butchered in de-
tail ga
Two o.. TIRES regiments properly dis
posed, aud well Offered, could soon

GENERAL LEE AND HIS PLEDGE to GEN
ScoTT. When General Lee was about to
take his attitude in hostility to the Gov
eminent, he wrote to General Scott
stating among other things that he would
never raise his sword against the old
flag, except in defence Of his native
State, Virginia
The fortunes Of war have so far en-
abled him to keep that pledge, at least
in letter il not in spirit, as be has never
fought battle except in Virginia or on
the border of Maryland and Pennsylvania
ia defence Of Virginia, as be assumes
From the present aspect of affairs
there seems little probability Of his be-
ing permitted to fght in any other State
than Virginia. He is no less traitor
and an migrate notwithstanding.

Army of the Potomac correspondent,
writing on the 22d, says: This evening a
report came in from the front OF the 9th

moving to the right. They have begun a
movement to the right which may mean
an attack upon our left, or movement

The Tribune's Washington special says
advices from General Grants beadquar-

are certainly evacuating Petersburg and
manifesting signs of sending troops
south. Whether it is meant to reinforce
