Kloe, on the >ert of Miss H„ which we now annex : Mm Hami.bitbb} It becomee my pleaeleg duty. In the name of the "Gate-City Guards," to present you this Watch, as a smsll token of their good will. Tour repeated acta of kind- ness toward us, rsader this present but the more appropriate. Whether we ore called up on to struggle amid tbe fearful scenes of the bloody battle field, or are permitted to walk quietly “ in paths of pleasantness whieh ere paths of pesos," be assured that the Gate City Guards will loug remember your encouraging •miles and valuable advise. Let the beauty of this watch, as you beer it to learn the hour as it passes, ever remind you that it eannot be more faithful in telling you tbe time of day, then we will be in procuring, with our lives, if necessary, your best interests, si well as the chief earthly good of ell true Southern women. We are now, in m*Dy particulars, in the midst of the greatest revolution tbe world has ever known. So far as we are concerned, we are unalterably determined that this revolution shell be e success. We have placed our hands to tbe plow, and rather than look back, in this glorious deliverance from Northern tyranny end ioeult, we confidently believe that the fair women of the sunny South will cheerfully join us, if need be, in giviug up tbeir heart’s blood to secure to our posterity the priceless bless ings of Constitutional liberty. But we shall net fail. Armed with justice—and hence doub ly armed—supporter! in our movements by the voice of Heaven—beconed onward by the fair hands uf our own fair eountry women—in tbe name of justice—of woman, and of God, we have determined to •• Strike till our last armed foe expires, Strike for our altars and our fires, Strike for the green graves of our sires. God and our native land!" On one side of this watch you will iiud 13 jewels : these will remind you of the 13 original Statos, so famous in hi'tory for their deeds of heroism and noble achievements. These States were et first controlled by honest men, diapos ed to do each other justice. But times have changed. The 13 grew to 33, and a dominant and unconscientioua majority, acting under the false philosophy of the "Higher Lay,” and the senseless statesmanship of “ the Irrepressi bW-Couflict-Rail-Splitter,” thinking that tbe spirit of ’76 had fled from tbe dwellers in this “ Southern land," foolishly propart d to place upon our necks social and political inferiority, regardless of written compacts and fraternal ties. On the other side you will find 7 jewels: these will remind you that the North sadly mistook us, taking our forbearance in times past, for cowardice, and that the spirit of ’76 still lives among us, and that “ the Confederate States of America" have beeu compelled to in augurate a new Government—we believe a bet ter than the old. Your smiles and countenance, and the smiles and couutenance of such ssyou, will inspire us to stand by the immortal "Sev en.” The memories of the "Thirteen,” will turn your mind to the patriot women of the Revolution which delivered us from the tyran ny of the British Lion. The memories of tbe "seven" w.ll point you (God bless them!) to many a living woman who will live in histo- ry, gloriously connected with a revolution which has freed us from a bondage worse than England placed upon our fathers. Having written your name among the patriot women of '01, you have proved yourself to the world to be a worthy descendant of the women of ’70. Again I say, accept this watch, as but an humble testimonial of the kind regards of the " Gate-City Guards.” Gen. Rice then replied as follows: Sergeant Chisolm : In the name of Miss Han- leiter, the recipient of this valuable present— so unexpectedly presented—permit me to as- ■ure you the accepts, with inexprsssble pleas ure, end that it will be worn with grateful re membrance of your noble company, who are now about to take your line of march to the tented field, and, if need be, to fight the bat tles of our country. And also, to thank you for the kind term* in which you have tendered tbe valuable gift. Rest assured that you, and the noble company you represent, will be pre sented to the Throne of God daily, that His providence may watch over end protect yon And egeia, in her behalf, end for myself, I ex press our devout prayer that God will preserve you, whether In camp or battle, and again re turn each one of you to your homes end your friends.

Persons desiring to secure their subscriptions, may pay in cash the whole amount, and take a receipt for the de livery of bonds or stock. To equalise the rate of sub scription at all points, and to enable all persons con veniently to subscribe, current bank notes of the place will be received at their market value In coin. In case of an over subscription, preference will be given first to those who pay down their whole subscrip tion : next to subscribers of $50 ; next to subscribers of $100. C. G.
