of the meeting. After a short speech from Mr. Case, the meeting adjourned until one o'clock. Immediately after dinner the people collected in and around the amphitheatre, and a patriotic speech was made by the gentleman selected to address the people, which was well received. After which the recruiting officers received the names of those who desired to volunteer in defence of the Stars and Stripes. The meeting was then organized by choosing Joseph Malin, one of the veterans of the war of 1812, President, and Frederick J. Waldo, Secretary. The committee on resolutions presented the following: Resolved, That this meeting fully endorse and sustain the sentiments of the resolutions recently offered in Congress by the Hon. John J.

I am especially gratified that a Pennsylvania artillery corps, commanded by officers who have necessarily had but limited systematic instruction, have won not only the commendation of their friends, but an unwilling compliment from the enemy, for the wonderful rapidity and accura
