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.

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 report. it hit; been asserted that Mr. Davis was un friendH to Geiretai .Johnscou and had no cen fidt-i -c in him. Nevertheless he has placed Johnston in (otninand of the nto?' diiportant army ia the C>-ntedjeracy. next to «•. n. I.ee''s. Many have believed; that the Presi.L.A e -j? in imical to Gen.

We can as sure the President that this arrangement would produce the most complete satisfaction. Ali our great Generals would be then in the field. Everything will have been done to ensure suc cess : and whether! the campaign end happilr or not, the Prc s ld -ni will fin i him- elfsustained.

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. (Signed; Abraham Lincoln. Official: £. D. Toi. mend. A. A. G. 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.

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 : »u»t demands, as the only hope of perpe tuating free institutions Thus.
