And. further, to accept X3.000 three months' men more than the original call, (75,000 ) More than that number of the letter have already tendered their services over and above the 75,000 originally cskod for.

A Novel Pp*CCLATIO* IN THESK P*KI« .A day or two since the Star briefly related cn Instance of apparently shocking bad treatment ef a poor northern family.that of John L) Reed. by toe people of Virginia, a few miles from this city.

Mhere they remained a whole fortnoon, surrounded >y a crowd varying from fifty to two hundred persons, who, upon the strength of their pitiable appear- ant e and tbe tale told among the crowd, were so- liciting dimes, quarters, halves, arid probably dol- lars, for the party. That the whole tffair was an outrageous "sell" upon tue sviupathiea of this community la plain and palpable, as will be seen from tbe following letter, signed by a number of worthy »:-d respectable tirivtii-ors of lteed, of southern and northern blrtb, nearly all of whom we know personally to be as reliable turn us aiiv la tbe United SUM: Ediior of Star.

If any one be Interfered with br themilitary without cause, the wrong will be ln-stautly and fully redrrss^d.A Novel Pp*CCLATIO* IN THESK P*KI« .Aday or two since the Star briefly related cnInstance of apparently shocking bad treatmentef a poor northern family.that of John L) Reed.by toe people of Virginia, a few miles from this

    city. H e saw Keed and his family, as describedla the paragraph concerning them, stationed infront of tbe Rij'ubltrnn publication office. Mherethey remained a whole fortnoon, surrounded >y acrowd varying from fifty to two hundred persons,who, upon the strength of their pitiable appear-ant e and tbe tale told among the crowd, were so-liciting dimes, quarters, halves, arid probably dol-lars, for the party. That the whole tffair was anoutrageous "sell" upon tue sviupathiea of thiscommunity la plain and palpable, as will be seenfrom tbe following letter, signed by a number ofworthy »:-d respectable tirivtii-ors of lteed, ofsouthern and northern blrtb, nearly all of whomwe know personally to be as reliable turn us aiivla tbe United SUM:

    th» r« was a greater number of people on the streetsthnn during Saturday and Sunday There wasno excitement of constqueuce, and the policerecords nt nitrht showed that the people «»re dis-posed to rssist the police In the preservation ofgood order by refraining from anything that maybe calculated to produce excitement.There was much activity observable all dayyesterday at both Fort McHenry and Fort Carroll,

    h it of what nature could not lie ascertained, asthere waa no admission to either place.
