j announced the fact lhat Uie Salisbury Band ha;"
been engaged. - 1 his company 01 musicians is made
up of some of the first young men in the State.
The Band is inseparably connected with the history
of lhe Army of Northern Virginia, and many re
miniscencies of the past are recalled while we pen
this article as a slight tribute of simple justice to ,
Band of Music that is at once the pride of Nolh

Tbe Loyal Leaguer bava made a furious on
slaoght upon Mr. Greeley, for igning Mr. Davis'
bail-bond. They notified him to attend a meeting
of tha League of which ba waa a member, wlxrav
and when bis conduct iu the premise .would ba
considered and acted upon. He declined attend
ance and defied tlie League. They had bitwrfy
Ierecuted him because he had plead for mercy for
the rauquished rebels. " One impudent puppy,"
cays he, " wrote me to answer categorically whelb
I was or was not in favor of hanging Jeflf. Davia ;
adding that I must stop bis paper if I were not C
Again" You evidently regard me aa a weak aeo
timentalist, mislead by a maudlin philosophy. I
ar.ign you as narrow-minded blockheads, wbo
would kke to be useful to a great and good cause,
but don't know how." " I tell yon boro
that, out of a life earnestly devoted lo tba good of .
human kind, your children will aelect my going to
Richmond and signing that bail-bond a tba wiaeal
act, and will feel tbat it did mora for freedom aad
humanity than all of you were competent to do,
though you had lived to the age of Methuselah."
t uk nothimr of ou, theo, but tbat you pro
ceed to your end by a direct, frank, manly way.
Don,i sidle oil into a mud resolution of censure,
but move the expulsion which yon purposed, and
which I deserve, if I deserve any reproach what
ever. All I care for is, that yqo make kfys a square,
stand-np light, and record yoor judgment by yea
and nays. Understand, once for all, that I
dare and defy you, and that I propose to fight It
out on the line that I have hold from tba day of
Lee's surrender. . u
