TLe Officers of this company deserv a great deal of credit for the iudefatigablo , spirit evinced to serve tbeir itaie and th .unny South, from the ruthless sjjre ..sioQs of the invader and Lvs r.o be-iutiou io snyir. that either of tber.i will chcerf-illy sacrifieo tbeir live if necessary ia defence of our rights, if there are auy men left in our noidst who, desire to enlist they thou! ! make early applications at M.-.j.

One of America's greatest statesmen said : Tbc true soared of tbe wealth of a ration consists in tbe purity and authentici ty ef her historical recollection ;" or, iu other words, tbe deeds of those patriots who give tone aad character to tha age iu which ttey live are the eotiiuon property of their country aad give dignity aad effect to her eivil institutions. The above remark was suggested to my rtiiud by the perusal of tho following extract from the ''Special D:patb From Col. II : 11 to Gov.
