It will be seen from a hotice in tiiix iseus ot
our paper, that the citizens of.Floyd and the
surrounding coumivstere culled on tamest at the
Court House, in ihi* city, on Tnuraday next;
14th’ iu*i, lor the purpose ot lormiug a military
oiganixatiO'i fur tne ;rutection ot their homes
*ud ihtdi property. Tbia i* a highly important
movement’, and we give it our mutt cordial and
aea'ty endorsement. Let every boy and mao;
from IS to 60 year* old, felt into )Iinr, and stead
an lor the pro cc. ion of their motnere, wives
and sisters. It the love ot country does not
move yoi, these saored claims will surely move
you to action.
It ie plain now that the enemy, being foiled
and routed upon every field ot general engage
ment, ha* determined to turn loose his aimy ia
marauding bands, to dash through our country
with torcu and atvord, to born and plunder our
citizen* and hooits, murder our men and dis
honor cur women.
We ate advised that good arm* wiil be li’-rn-
isiicd to aU who are not able to supply them
selves.

counties, mtec in this city*oa next Thursday;
snd the ladies will do well to encourage this
movement by tht ir presence—they are all want
ed. Come, ladies, and bring your eons and yoor
husbands.—Rene Courier, VIA 2d ay.
