A Meeting of Friends of ihe Confederacy
in Manchester, Ext,land. —A meeting of the
friends of the Confederate cause was held ir. Man
chester, England, on the 2tsth of February. We
take from the Index the following summary of
this meeting:
The Right Hon. Lord Wharnclige occupied the
chair Lord Campbell, andT. B. Birlev. T. Birgss
C. P- olty, James dponce, and J. H. Clarke, Esq .
were present. There was also present some offi
cers in the army, clergymen, and many Sadies.—
Letters were read fr..ta Beresford Hope. Esq., and
Sir J. Bowring, expressing their inability to at
tend. The Secretary then read the report, which
stated that during the few months that the associa
tion .bad existed, it had acted upon public opinion
in Lau. au shire. Yorkshire and Cheshire, by means
of the platform and the press. ••Papers for the
people,” conveying argumentatively the fullest in
formation in regard to the origin of the war and
rights on which secession s*as based, had been is
sued to the number ol sj.i-u; at least 2od,ohd
handbills had been circulated, and 10,v0fi placards
and reports of speeches
Lectures had been delivered in nineteen towns
of importance, and others were iu a uve prepara
tion. In twenty-seven oi the great towns, branch
associations ha t bc-eu formed, A London associ
ations-had been formed under the presidency of
Mr. Beresford Hope, and would take vigorous ae
tion daring the ses-ion of Parliament. Public
meetings had been held with -access at Oldham,
Stockport, Ashton, Boilington, Burnley, Preston,
Glasgow and t • : p, and in each case the Chair
man had been autt... .iued to sign a memorial to
the F reign Secretary, -r petitions to Parliament.
Lord WLurncliffe first addressed the meeting, and
dwelt on the boastfulness and mendacity ol the
Northern character, and the Men 1:. Ati„n of the
feelings and qualities cf the ?outbc-rn and English
pec>pie. The courage : the North c insisted in
destroying where there was a » fear 01 lesmancc-:
their conduct was savage and vindictive bey. ud
ail precedent. The object of the N >rtb was to re
tain a name by extent of territ ry. at the
cost of the subjugation ot me rrouTr, -
the best thing for the peace -.f the world would be
the establishment of tv- well r lered t? .vermnunts
on the American Continent.
L.-rd Wharneliffe was succeeded by Lori Camp
bell, who ais aia lea speech. Alter a few words
from Mr. BirU-y. .n favor of immediate recogni
tion, Mr. J. ?pence made an address to the meet
ing. He exposed the mistakes and fallacies con
tained in Mr. Milner Gibson s speech at Ashton
under Lyne, at considerable length. He the., re
ferred to the cruel manner in which the X -Hh a = i
waged war. sinking stone fleets, c-' nn,ra .0:, 0...
rights, shooting men »u cold blood, sn-uUlng and
exlumniating the best ‘ the nati r. Public* op in -
ion m England was for the South, and the South
itseit c uld nc.t have maiiitaioed the straggle
against the p <wer of the X rth, unless :he had been
supported by the conviction that her cause wa
just. The result of the reconstruction ; the Union
would be a wa: with England. The a.-'-oebGoa
desired peace, but permanent peace, . . i p
could only be permanent when based n tne inde
pendence of the fbjUtfc.

Geueral Price.
It is stated that Lieutenat General Ih-Iriics
Las been ordered to report at Richmond. «wi.i
that llajxji General Sterling Price will assume
active command in the field west of the Miss
ssippi. This statement i 5 made very posi
tively I v t correspondent ot the Atlanta In
itliicicfifi;—a paper not in the habit ot circu
lating false rumorsr—and yet we are tempted
to discredit it. Too goc-d to be true, we fear.
But President Davis has. of late, nranife tc :
so decided a disposition to ov.-rlook
ed antipithies that we can but yield some
shadow of credence to this most agreeable

General Orders, )
So. 190. j
In order to supply the force required to be ;
draft air the navy, and to provide an ade
quate reserve force for all contingencies, in ■
addition to the five hundred thousand men i
called for February 1. 18C4, the call is here
by made and a draft ordered for two hundred
thousand men for the military service, army,
navy and marine corps of the United States.
The proportional quotas for the different
wards, t. v, nsuips. precincts or election dis
tricts or colon iea, will be made known through
the Provost Marshal-General's Bureau, and
be taken of the credits and defi
ciencies of former quotas.
The loth day of April. 1864, is designated
as tbe time up to which the numbers required
from eacu of a city, town, &c., may be
raised by voluntary enlistment, and drafts
will be iu’ide iu such wards of a city, town,
sc., which shall not have filled the quota as
signed to u within tbe time designated for the
number required to fill said quota.
The drafts will he commenced as soon after
tut 15th of April as practicable.
Tbe Government bounties, as now paid, con
tinue until April 1, 1c64, at which time the
additional bounties cease. On and after that
date SIOO bounty only will be’paid, as provi
ded by the act approved July 23d. led.

The New York TANARUS, m- thus explains the rea
sons of this call:
This cal! is not entirely unexpected. It may
not be generally Known, but it is nevertheless
strictly true, that under the last call tor two
hundred thousand additional men iu February,
the Government has actually received a far
less number of men than it called for though
most of the States have filled their quotas.
The resoa is plain. It was announced that
the last call was tor the purpose of squaring
up accounts, and thereupon an extensive sys
tem of research and figuring was begun in
every State; ail loose accounts of I’rovost
Marshals and State authorities were balanced
up. old credits, not before allowed, were
brought forward and allowed on the new ’
quota : scattering men. who bad enlisted and j
uever been credited, v.. c anted for tbe first i
time; enlistments ut the naval service have ;
been credited as recently allowed by law; the
veteran enlistments, which came in largely,
.vere credited, and aided many localities to
escape the ctrari . ’■tit- —ve.rtion, and mans
systems of figuring, some of which
were not as straightforward a- they ought to
have been were used, until many of the
State hive announced that their quotas were
full under oil calls, with •» surplus.
We tiave in memory at present New Hampshire,
V ermont, Rho te Island. Connecticut. Indiana,
Hlin is. i.,wa, Minnesota, and Kansas, and many
l-aits : Michigan, New fork, and Massachusetts,
all «.t w:,i. h have nlicd tfaeir quotas underbill
• ’>de. sn 1 liiu.-t of them have a surplus left, which
i* bemgr.-ustantly increasoi Ly veteran and vol
unteer enlistments heretofore not credited. The
army has, notwithstanding, been iargelv and grat
ityii.glv augmented, but not. by an ■ means, to tbe
ester.; th«r last call. That call, as we have said,
h.v- i r-t: iarg-iy exhausted by the credits for old
erJt—.mei. - never betorv counted. Hence, (hi- new
• all. to ugh succeeding so rapidly !•* that ut Fefi
tuaty , . an ..mi will be promptly met in un-d of the
Btatea ivithoat any hardships whatever. Many
localities have a sin-pin- already to toe credited on
the new quota, while tl»e ne«-e>sitsea ot the naval
Seri. e, ;o. lulling the Marine corps, offer a larger ,
field in an heretolore for the choice of the volnn- !
teer. Only in those localities which have been
habitually behind in every quota will the new cal!
be considered a- a hardship. Tib* quota tilled
promptly and honestly, aud the artov will be •oi
strengthened that »« think all future calls bo
dispensed with.
The same paper, in another article, attempts t*.
give the causes of the general ci,om which it -ays
now pervades the North:
The fact that rrobably gives rise to the tn»-f wide
spread despondency is, that we have as yet ac...ii,
piished nothing in our spring operations. The Flor
ida expedition ended in a disaster: the grand cav
alry rail m Alabama, under Gen. Smith, was inter
rupted l>y apparently a very interior force- the
mysterious invasion of Gen. Sherman's flying col
umn :.rotor at hack only a lew thousand males and
necr.—and wasted the enemy’s territory. We see

is published :
Wdtdsor, C. W.. March 7. 18S4.
Messrs. Hubbard k Brothers, Dayton. Ohio:
Geniiemea —I read several daysaro the tel
egraphic announcement of the “riddinjr of
the E </■;-?office by : furlongbeu soldiers.' I
offer yon no sympathy, for th.it will avail
nothing now or hereafter. I do express to
you tnv profound regret that yon were not
j.iv|-... .1 to inflict on the spot, and m the midst
of the assault, the complete punishment which ■
the assailants deserved* but I am to !
learn that some of them did soon alter receive ,
! their deserts. 8.1 these cowardly acts cannot
always be garde l against. And they do j
' not primarily come from the soldier 3
There is, therefore. bnt_one icuirdy fiu past
ml preventive of future inj-irie et ! i1..-«t is. i
instant, samnir.ry and ample repri-ul- upon j
the fen, n- and property of thr men at home j
who, by i #gu-:ge and condnare always j

tary j , ishment is ever inflicted upon the im- ;
mediate instmmente Retaliation. therefore, j
is Uit only ad the rightfni remedy in times |
t\.rir. 1 speak advisedly, and recom
mend it m all cases hereafter. It is oi no ;
avail to announce the falsehood that -both !
parties condemn, it. alter the destruction has j
been consummated. The time has sr.-ne by |
for .Cos ..once without p.ote. lloa. 1 sjieak
decided language; but the contitiued recur
rence of these outrages —frequently attended (
with murder, and always without redress — j
demands it. They must be stopped, let the j
consequences he what they may. Repri-als
in such cases are now the only way lett tor a

I % From \ashTtiie.
The Chattanooga Rebel had an inter
| view with Capt. Carnes, of the 31st Ten
i nessee regiment, who lately escaped from
Yankee torture in the penitentiary at Nash
ville. The Rebel, says:
(. apt. Cames informs ua that there is
no doubt that the Yankees are concentra
ting a very heavy force in front of Gen.
Johnston. That large reinforcements are
! constantly passing throtigh Nashville
! Ixiuntl for the front, and that no one there
j doubts that the great battle of the war is
. to be fought in Northern Georgia.
Greenhacks were selling tor gold in
t Nashville when the Captain left at three
j to one. Conlederate money had advanced
very rapidly under the influence of the
* new currency bill, and was selling at 30
cents on the dollar. It had before been
as low as o.
The stories told of the re-enlistment of
. the old troops are barefaced falsehoods,
published for effect. One Indiana regi
ment which was guarding the prisoners
. was reported through the papers to
re-enlisted almost entire. The Captain
says that he had frequent opportunities of
conversing with these men. and they were
unreserved in their expression of their de
termination to go home at the expiratiou
of their term, which is in Way, and stay
there. Not fifty in the regiment had re
eniisted.
The Captain reports that the people
have plenty of provisions through Middle
Tennessee—corn and bacon Leiug very
abundant, and the wheat crop is locking
uncommonly well. The people are almost
universally loyal to our cause and bouyant
and hopeful of the future.
Proclamation by the Gover
nor to the People ol'iicsitucUy
Fellow Citizens: In view of the
disturbance of the popular mind, produc
ed by the enrollment of slaves for the
army in Kentucky, it is deemed prudent
to make the following suggestions, for the
benefit and guidance of the loyal people of
Kentcky.
Your indignation should not move you
to commit acts of violence, nor unlawful
resistance.
Standing as wo have stood, and will
ever stand,-for the Constitution.
Union, and the enforcemertot the -
we must repel the eff rt> f rebel"
overthrow our Governu > > r
lant soldiers in the ti_ . .. t el
unjust or unconstitutional kg fiance il
legitimate appeals to the constituted tri
bunals of the Government; aud through
the ballot-box displace, in the constituted
modes, those who pervert or abuse the
trusts committed to them. This is the
only true mode ot maintaining -the Con
stitution, the In ion, and the enforcement
of the laws.”
The mere act of enrolling the names of
slaves does not affect any right of the
| citizen. No draft has been ordered, nor
:do we know that a draft will be ordered.
It may or it may not.
We should abide by and maintein the
law; and pursue, in the modes provided,
the remedy itafioids. If and violence or
wrong to the person or property of the
eilizen be committed by an officer or sol
dier, against the known laws of the land,
make your “accusation" in the mode pres
cribed by law; and, if the commanding
officer refuses or neglect to use his utmost
endeavors arrest the officer or soldier
under bis command so accused, and hand
them over to the civil magistrate for
i trial, when "officially advised of the facts,
the executive of the State will prefer
charge and demand a court martial.
In the union, under the Con fburion.
and in accordance with law, assert and
urge your rights.
It is our duty to obey the law until ir G
declared, by judicial decision, to be un
constitutional. The citizens wh se pr op
erty may be taken under it, for public use,
will be entitled, under the imperative
mandate of the constitution, to a iust com
pensation for his private property so taken
tor public use. Although the present
(.’digress may not do us justice, yet it is
safe to rely upon the justice of the Ameri
can people; and an appeal to them will
not be unheeded or unanswered. Peace
restored, will drive to ignominious dis
tance those who in the agony of our con
flict perverted their sacred trusts to the
base uses of partisan end- and fanatical
purposes.
i phold and maintain your government
as constituted, and obey and enforce it :

tuating free institutions
