A meeting of the citizens and return-
ed soldiers of Marshall county was held
ut the Court House, this evening. An
organization was effected in the election

of the meeting being explained by the
President, a Committee of Five, com
posed of g. T, Armstrong, Lit. George
McJones, Major II. w. Hunter, Captain
w. j. Pnrdy and John 81. Sheets, was
appointed to draft resolutions ,,.,7s
ON motion of w. J. Purdy, the nomi-
nation, of Col. J.. IA. Lockwood as dis
trict delegate, by the Clarksburg Con-
yention, was unanimous ratified.
On motion of Jackson Reid, 1T was
further agreed that the said district DEL
egate be vested with full power and au-
thority to represent the views and i'm
terests of Marshal county in the Ma
tional Convention, to be held at Wash
ingion, on the 22d inst.
At this jnncture the Committee on
Resolutions came in and reported the
following preamble and resolution to-
wit: r ltI : . 9i
Whereas, 1t being apparent that un-
Just distinction has been made in the
appropriations and distributions of
bounties, between the soldiers who en-
listed in 1864 and IS, and those who
enlisted prior thereto, many of the for
mer having seen littleor no service, and
having received the largest bounty,
whilst a majority of the latter have
! been through four campaigns and re-
ceived the least bounty, or, as In many
cases, nothing. This distinction is un.
wise and invidious : not according with
the heretofore equitable action of the
Government towards its defenders vir-
tuaffy Offering a premium for luke
warmness and inactivity, in times OF
public danger; and establishing pre-
eedent injurious to the best interests of
the Government, it being deemed right
and proper that the soldiers. who vol
unteered prior to 1853, "a and IS, should
be equally rewarded with those who
enlisted during the years named, and
that to this end there should be con-
certed action, and
faWhereaS, Much suffering exists
among the families of deceased soldiers
throughout our State, which, in the
opinion of many can be ameliorated, If
not entirely removed, by prompt efforts
of those who should be their friends.
Therefore, s7a q
ResoLped, That an association be form
ed ofthel Union soldiers aud citizens of
this county, and that the same shall be
| known by the name,. style and title OF
the Union Soldiers and Citizens League
of Marshall county, Essfa 5sTe.tll
On motion, the report was unanf-
mously adopted. laHs19
