At six o’clock the cburch was Well filled, most of the audi- ence, hewever, wearing Uncle Sam’s brass but- tons. From the names and antecedents of some of the speakers announced for the evening, the idea had ‘ot out that the meeting was to be ‘an abolition Soca and coi ueatly the bythe citizens of A! ja was not so large as could have been desired. The 9ist Pennsylvania Reg!- ment, the Provost Guard «f Alexandria, were “ sy jon assembled in present. The colored uumbers outside the bui = The meeting was organized by the appointment of Mr. Jefferson Tacy as chairman. Rev. Mr. McMurdy, of Kentucky, opened with a fervent prayer Mr. Lacy, the chairman, then stated the object of the meeting, which was for the pu! of securing volunteers for the Ist ——— of East- ern Virginia; and offered the fo! lowing. Sevets- tions, which were adopted without s ting voice: Whereas we have convened for the purpose of taking counsel together and advising as to the best response we can giveto the call upon us, as citizens of our unba| country, tosustain the Government and tne Union In this its hour of trin!; and whereas we are satisfied that in this hour of unprecedented struggle for the mainte- nance of our honor asa nation, by the suppression of this unnatural rebellion, there have been and still are in our midst base and unprincipled men, who are eogaged in circulating among the unina- formed the poh hear = foclnge and ate the roes. roduciag sontieus among Union men ; and whereas threats bave been made that the lives of those who dared to stand by the Union svould be taken and their property destroyed, which has to aconsiderable degree distracted the peace and happiness of this community, and believing as we that there are persons inour midst who are doing ail in their power to increase this unfortunate state of affairs; and whereas we believe that no punish- ment could be too severe, upon the proof of the offense; be ft, therefore, 1. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the ac- tion of the Government in the measures it has taken for the prompt increase of the army of the Union, believing that the most effectual means for preserving the unity of this great country, and crushing out of existence the unholy rebellion, begun and ¢ontinued by unprinctpled traltors for ambitious purposes, is to meet force with a still greater force, and fall upon them with the weight of an avalanche 2. Resolved, That it is the imperative duty as it is unquestionably the pri’ é of all who pos- stdly can to swell the ranks of Warriors for Lib- erty and national honor secured to us in the Ccn- stition, the Union and the laws, by coming for- ward et once and marshaling themselves under the Flag of our country. 3. Resolved, That we donot believe there is a Union man tn this elty or county, who (if cir- cumstances are such that be cammot join theranks of the army) will refuse toassist, by contributing bis means towards raising a regiment in this por- tion of Virgi: or to in su) ilies of these who may volunteer to t for the security of ——— asap American citizen. 4. Resolved, ‘we dco aot believe therecan be any neutality im this hour of gloom and danger. We are with or against the mn, and if we are honest men we shall show wkether we are traitors; ft {s certainly true that these who are pot ror us are against us. 5. Resolved, That the present clvil war was forced Upon the country by the disunionists of the South- ern States, who are now in rebellion against tne conatitutioual government; that in the t national emergency, we, forgetting all Toemer differences, and recollecting only our duty to the Whole country, do pledge ourselves to ald, with men and money, the vigorous prosecution of the at war, which is not being waged on the Part of out government for the purpose of con- est, subjugation or the overtbrowiug or inter- deiag with the rights or established institutions of any of the States, but to suppress and put down 8 wicked and c«useless pir oy and tmailntaln the su; y of the constitution, and to preserve the Union as established by Washington and his noble co-patriots with the dignity and rights of the several States un- impaired; and when these object are fully ac- complished, and not before, we believe the war ought to cease and will cease 6 Resoleed, Phat we approve of oder No. 1h issued by Gen. Pope, belle wherever the army of the Unt vanced and occupied, the opportunities of those rebels who remain ia the rear of cur forces to communicate with those arrayed ayzinst us in frout, would be materially lessened, and 1a 8 pro- portionate degree secure the carrying outof the designs of the War it, and at the same time bring those parties who are living in com- parative ease end luxury by dra ito their coff+rs the money of the soldiers of the Union, while at the same time they are abusing the Gov- ernment and \ts troops, and devising every means ng aid and comfort to the enemy, toadue eration of their actions end ion. 7 olved, That we bave the utmost confl- dence in tucse who administer both the Govern- ment of tue U 4 States and the resiored Gov- ernment of V ia, and that we will Leartily give to them our cutire moral and materia! su; port Regarding them as the sheet anchor of our cherished Lopes, we are determ!ncd to secure thelr triumph over all who would subvert our Liberties at home or abroad. Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, was then intro- duced. He was x to be there, because it was the first time be bad ever sehen in Virginia. He came there asa plain ‘estern man, and would say some plain thingsto plain people. This was no time to sty what we don’t mean.

Mr, Van Vieet was followed by Col. Foung of Kentucky and Mr. Minor of Alexandria, of vy a meni er r thett aid and spalicue to accom- tha! oljject. Mr. Minor argued that if the vernment fails it will be on account of those who strive to crush the rebellion b: the Constitution; and he urged to increased ac- tivity and vigilance on the of all loyalists. Hon. J. T. Close, Virginia Senator, made the closing | . He was one of forty-six who, out of a population of 12, dared vote against secession. They who voted for the Unien did so at the peril of their lives, and amid threats of as- sassi ion. Among the principal threateners was Jackson, the murderer of Ellsworth. Mr. Clos¢ then sa a history of secession in Alexan- dria and Virginia, and of the formation of the restored Government of Virginia. Since the res- toration of the Government, the people were get- ting on in a kind of a loyal way, but the loyalists yet could not protect ives. The ies were worse than the men. He thanked God for Pope’s order No. 11. He had hoped it would drive secessionists from Alexandria. He wanted to give them their choice, to serve God or Mam- mon. Two-thirds of them would choose to serve Mammon b: Cet OS pas the rebellion, while thec one-t would serve Mammon by giving a quiet support to the rebeilion, for the purpose merely of securing their wealth. He, too, held thatthe only way te redeem Vir- ginia was to repeople her. She was first once, 4 is last now; but he hoped to God she would soon be first again.

Car- lisle could not now be elected constable in any section of West Virginia. Mr. Close sald he had been, and was op; ivision of the State, because it was revolutionary in its tenden- cy, and looked too much like secession; but he desired to gather in Grimry t after county, until the restored government of the whole of Virginia was perfect. Me had authority to raise a iment, and he would raise it, and that within sixty days,and we will then see if Alexrandrians cannot protect her Union men. He deplored the too grea leniency of the Government towards rebels,and said all persons must be driven out. He would his regiment for duty in the vicinity of Alexandria, and when th ‘ot tired of that, be would lead tnem to the field of action. After the meeting adjourned, the crowd formed In line, and, preceded by the music, paraded a short distance through one or two of the streets. Scsriciovus. —Yesterday an old man, named Wm, P.

At the corner of F and Nioth streets they found it necessary to tle him; and tn bis resistance of the process he jerked from the officers and fell with his face on the curbstone, cutting a severe gash. He was then taken to the Central Guardhouse,where his beha- vior was so outrageous that, in order to cool him down, be wes taken to the beth room and the Po- tomac water turned upon him until he got peace- able.

INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE LATE BATTLE. ee Cusrares, August 12—Owing to the severe injury to Gen. Banks, the command of the second corps devolves upon Brigadier General A.8. Wil- Mama, the senior commander of divisions. Brig. Gen. Crawford commands General Williams's @ivision, and Gen. Green commands the division of Gen. Angur, who is seriously but not danger- ously wounded. Brigadier General Prince of the first brigade, second division, is # prisoner, as is also Captain Willtam D. Wiikes, Assistant Adjutant General to General Williems. An escaped prisoner saw them both at Orange Court House yesterday, on thelr way to Riebmond. Under a flag of truce, on the lith, the enemy, who beld the battle-feld, granted us until two p. tm. to bury our dead and bring off our mortelly wounded. They gave as the reason, thet they had more then they could do to bury their own. In an Interview with some of our prisoners, they stated that the enemy hed treated them with Kindness. But one instance of gross outrage came under your correspondent’s notice. On visiting the battle-field many, if nota greater part of our dead officers, were found, some parti allyand others entirely stelpped oftheir uniforms. On all of the dead nothing of any value was found. Generals Stewart and Early held the field, and conversed freely with our own officers about the battle. They stated that the full brigades of Gen- erals N. P. Hill, Longstreet and Ewell were op- posed to our small band of eroes, and that they were terribly cut to pleces by our fre—leading to the inference that they suffered fully as much es ourselves. As before stated, Jackson commanded the field In person Gen. Roberts, of Gen. Pope’s staff, is Militery Governor of this post. On the day of the battle he acted on the staff of Gen. Banks, and rendered valuable assistance by his suggestions and mill- tary experience. ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA.
