at eight o'clock, to take into consideration the manning of the batteries around the city. The Government has incurred considerable expense in the erection of these batteries, and every consideration now demands that they should be forthwith manned. If the citizens of Richmond and the surrounding counties do not volunteer, troops from other quarters will be taken and trained for this purpose, and the militia here will be taken to supply their places elsewhere. Will it not, then, be more in accordance with the patriotic spirit of this city that her batteries and her great property interests should be committed to no other hands than those of her own citizens? Governor Letcher has authorized Messrs. J. Pannill, and Wm. P. Burwell, to say that he will receive any number of men in companies or battalions for this special service. Let all citizens, both of the city and the counties of Henrico and Chesterfield, who desire to forward this landable purpose, go to the City Hall to-night.
