A Public Meeting Called.
There will be a meeting held this fore
noon at ten o’clock, at the rooms of the
Board of Trade, to take preliminary mens
uree for responding to the late call of the'
fWerament for additional troops to put
down the rebellion. The mere announc e.
rnent of this is, of course, sufficient to in
sure a large attendance of our substantial
citizens, upon whom must principally de
volve the raising of the necessary menus
for the complete success of the under-
taking. Action, immediate and effective,

little time left for long speeches, editorials,
or prolonged councils.

OFFICE-HUNTERS.
The multitude of officers—assessors and
tax-collectors created oy the necessities
of the country ln prosecuting the war, has
caused an ; influx of office-hunters into
Washington absolutely appalling. When
they assemble together-in order to com
pare notes as to their relative chances for
snug situations, their numbers are said to
resemble the late monster meeting held in
New lork City. Some of these patriots,
we understand, were, at the beginning of
the present Administration, applicants for
Chargeslnps and Consulates. After lin
gering arotmd Washington until their cash
was exhausted and their wardrobes dilapi
dated, they came down from foreign ap
pointments to mail agencies and baggage
masters; and failing in securing these
they had to content themselves with
‘ Pusses” from the Postmaster,General to
secure their return home. Since then this
large and useless class of non-producers

certain that many of them do not know
whereto spongetheirnext breakfast. If this
hungry multitude were to join McClellan,
their advent in. the neighborhood of Bich
mond would be looked upon as being like
that of the loensts of old into Egypt. They
are numerous enough to not only'overrun
Eastern Virginia in a week, but to turn in
and eat ont her snbsistence in a fortnight
after their arrival. But they won’t go to
war ; they have a contempt for all sort qfj
labor—luta*e particularly hostile to the'
trade of bearing arms. Eminently civil,
they have an instinctive contempt for.gun-

A Letter from General McCall.
After the long and terrible suspense ex
perienced here in regard to the fate of
General McCall, we have the gratification
of stating that a letter has been received I
from him by Mrs. McCall, saying that he
is a prisoner in Richmond and uninjured
He was struck in the breast by a spent
ball, the effects of which were but tempo-!

I kfotswood House,” the principal hotel

been very kindly treated. His capture is
la source of deep regret, but it is indeed a
i source of consolation to all his friends that
pe is safe and well cared for. We learn
thrt lns capture was in . this wise: he had

those adopted by the late Democratic
Convention held at Harrisburg:
Whkukas, At a meeting of the citizens
conv ened on the 20th of

has since occurred to change our opinions!

ry reverses, the casualties of war have re
duced the effective strength of the regi
ments m the field, so that recruits are
needed to fall them up; and whereas, the
occupation of the places repossessed by
our army requires an additional force, and
the 1 resident has called for 300,000 men
and for these reasons another meeting of
citizens has been called, and is now as
