Axsnnws, Recruiting Officer, No. jonroe Street. Upon ponte Pos the crowd, we ascertained that the placard was dropped in the street by some enterprising recruiting agent, who was engaged in posting simtlar ones up about on English Hill Tb! fi the —s meeting night of the Repu’ mn hanecl jon, there wasa big crowd present of course, and we noticed numerous lo: slips of paper circulated about the room ai eayerly presented to favorable consideration by the i . slips of paper heed anda a piece—so speal remarkable to notice how much alike they looked, each having a handsomely inscribed address at the top, and a oSimens aan fe Fond written names atthe 5 did not appear to be half tatisfied with ‘hem. and burried about in all directions to look for more autographs, which they saeay obtained, the signers in most cases having similar ones of their own, and expecting a simi. in return. Down stairs in the cnucus room, or ition reom, there were more of these long lista of names, and they grew apace in longitudinal dimensions es the evening wore away. The following nemes were read out, (their own- having presented them to the Association at the previous meeting, for admission into the re- publican ranks,) the Chair stating that if noone objected to them ss read, they would be consid- ered a8 admitted to full membership: H. Messer, F. Wyle, Chas. Harron, J. H. Van Ruren, F.B. Van Buren, Albert Childs, Jobn Robinson, J H. Wynn, A. Messer, E. Grindall, Jas. A Harrover, Jas Frazier, Theo. Theilkell. Another name was read, when— Mr. Bigley objected. - Mr Coun —Mr. Presiden, vat have the shemle- men’s objections be?

It is said so allover Washington; and I think his name ought to be stricken from the roll. Mr. A.C. Richards —If these rumors be true, Mr President, I do not think we ought to ballot for 1 move that a committee be appointed to investigate this matter, and report at the next Toeeting—tbe question on the confirmation to lie. over in the meantime. A Voice —His uncle was not allowed to vote in Alexandria, where he lived, on the same ground. Mr. Richards’ motion was carried. The newly-elected members were requested to come up to the captain's office and settie, which they did Me. Secretary Clephane stated to the Associa- tion that it bad been deemed demrable to give Mr. Lincoln a serenade to-night The Associa- tion bad not authorized it; but many members desired thot ft should be done, and the executive commitiee bad made the necessary arrangements, and hoped the Association would enderse what they had done It would be remembered that they had made arrangements to serenade Mr. Lin- coln on his arrival in Washington and had been disappointed, Mr. Lincoln expressing his pleasure that it should not take place on that night. To- bt the band was in waitin; y to give the serenade should it be authorized by the Asso- ciation [Cries ef ““Good.”] Before giving it, 4 however, it was necessary that the funds be raised wherewith to pay the band, which would cost thirty dollars. Speaker hoped several gentie- men would among the crowd and receive contributions for the purpose of baying the band, 80 as not todraw upon the treasury of the Agso- ciation. The proposition was well received, and the col- Jectors started out on their mission, and soon re- tarned with $12 The Chair bere made an appeal to the crowd to dive deeper into their pockeis Mr. Cobn moved to appropriate the balance ftom the Treasury.

Mr. Hamlin appeared on the balccny, and spoke as follows: MR. HAMLI PEECH.

Fina, Hrarino.—Yesterday evening, Justice Donn took up and finally disposed of the follow- ing cases : « Henry Cry, a free negro, was arrested by police- man Yeatman for an assault and battery on a white girl named Ellen Daley. They were both fo ge at the Avenue House, and in the course of their business some words passed, and the pri- soner attacked the complainant, and threw a gesntity of boiling water upon ber, scalding her neck.

Tue Dvprez anv Green Orgra Trovps con- tinue to draw like a team of elephants at Odd Fel- lows’ Hall. The company is a large and excellent one, and their performances are really the most amusing and interesting ones of the kind we have ever witnessed. No better remedy fer the blues could be devised than a visit to Odd Fellows? Hall during their stay here. They will givea grand matinee on Saturday afternoon, at half past two o’clock, for the accommodation of families and children, when no doubt the house will be filled to overflowing. They appear to-night; also to-morrow evening at the above place. THEatER.—To-night Miss Gougenheim takes ber benetit, appearing as Jeannie Deans, in Bour- cicault’s admirable adaptation from Scott's thrill- ing story, ‘The Heart of Mid Lothian.” The strength of the company wiil be brought out to give the performance due effect, and it will have adjuncts of new scenery by Lamb, character- istic music, (Scottish,) arranged by Withers, and in fact all possible pains will be taken to cause the play to go off with eclat.

Tus Inavovration Concernt.—Metzerott, who is er? @u fait in musical matters, is busy with the details of the, reat Inauguration Concert, to come off the 5th of March Among the specialities of the evening will be the performance of Nico- lai’s great work, the overture to the “ Merry Wives of Windsor,”’ which ranks among the very best compositions of the Tux SovtHwestern Mai ing of railroad oificers here to arrange a schedule for carrying the Great Southwestera mail, so to avoid passing through the seceding States.
