H will braco him to feol, lam well clothed with the work of my dear companion, mol her. sister or friend, ns the cuso may ho, and ns Gen. Scott swore allegiunco to tlio stars and stripes on every arrival of news from Manas sas, so will tho soldier swear anew to defend, to the hut drop of his blood, tho country, and his beloved friends from tho foul invador. Let us, then, so surround him with tho mementos of our loving appreciation of his works, that when ho clothes Idmiclf lor dress pai ado, camp duty, guard or battlo ids heart may lie filled with picasuro at the thought, that his Iriedds have provided for his comfort. i say, tlicu, to fathers, mothers, sis ters, cousins, sweethearts and friends, go to work und keep at work; semi coats, shirts, pants, socks, blankets, shoes and many other things too tedious to men tion. Let us think calmly, ami delib erately determine that wo will do all in our power, lor our noblo self-sacrificing volunteers. As tlio amount they ro- coivu from the Government, will noth ing liko supply their necessary cloth ing lo defend them from tho cold, let Us make them shirts of the same goods as tho pants, and lay aside all false notions about fiuo goods. Mr. Editor-tlio subject of furnish ing our soldiers with tlioir outfit has not boon fully understood. Many sup pose that tlio county is to furnish out fit oompleto for all. The Inferior Court says tho appropriations nro intouded only for such as ato notable to pay for tlioir own outft. If any soldier is able himself, or has a father who is able, they will ho expected to pay for the clothing. Our merchants and tail- liavo done nobly iu furnishing companies, ami have let tliom lonvo with the full bollef that tlio atunty was to pay for it. llnvo tlioy dono it ? Thoy give to each company $600 00, and they will loan an additional $500 00 on a bond, conditioned, with good se curity, that tho money shall he refun ded, if drawn from tlio Oonfcdornto States. Now, tlio soldier Is to rooolvo $21 00 for clothing ovory six months. Sis months expires, tlio $21 00 is re ceived, and sent hnck to rotund on this bond. You will sco two difficulties bore, 1st, tho sum so received will not pay tho bond; 2d, tlio soldier in six months’ hard camp and fiold nor- vice, 1ms worn out, porhaps, Ids sec. ond suit, and again nearly naked.— But the worst fcaturo of this arrange inorit is, that it will givo Iho Captains or tlio companies a great deal of trou ble to socuro this money, os each man rocoivos tho amount duo him for cloth iug—aud it may also render Iho Cap tain unpopular with Ids men, to find him grasping after a pittance thoy so much need. I would liavo all to think. l<ot us not falter till wo havo grasped tho whole subject. Before subjugation, lot all wo havo ho freely and liberally saO' riftced. # With tho foot of Lincoln, and his hordes ol cruel vandals, on our necks, how small tho value of tho few dollars saved by our untimely parsimony.— Lot tho Inferior Court tear vp and spurn from thorn tlicso refunding bonds; they will hinder equipment of soldiers; they havo put a stop to re cruiting. ‘Should wo not rather furnish uU proper men with a suitablo outfit, oml keeping xk correct account of tho snmo, and dopcml upon tho *Stuto of Georgia, or Confcdorato States to re fund tho amount whonever tho war almll havo olosod. And if thoy do not, shall tlio county of Floyd, tho homes and firo sidon—tho many inter ests of which havo boon dofemlod by tho host blood of thoso volunteers— shall this county, as a last resort, re fuse to meet them demands? Wo will not do it, and slinmo ho to tho man who says nay. Col. Cothran is now making an oilbrt to arrango for sending a car from this place, once a fortnight, or once a month, which, it is intended, shall ho accompanied by an agent, and go on through to tho scat of war. and in which, porsous may send clothing, •Vo., to tiiclr friends. Tlio Indies of Romo havo formod a Soldiers’ Aid So ciety, and liavo a committee who will tako okargo of clothing and necessaries for tlio sick, which shall he contribu ted, or furui-diod to that Society. Lot us now havo n plaoo of deposit, where all such things can ho in the onto of wine person, till the tlmo of transpor tation, and our system will ho nearly of quito as good, us at any place in the South. Unco more, I appeal lo wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, lot us go to work with a will, tlio time is short. Winter is nigh; already our mon liavo suffered from tlio cold nights iu Virgin ia, and before wo can possibly got tho goods and innko them up, frods and wintor storms will pinch them Lotus Bond overy nrtiolo of use to them, ami if we cannot buy blankets, take huuIi as wo can spare of our own, and lino them for our soldiers. So father, mother or wifo, will let their loved ones buffer. Some liavo no relative to represent thorn on tho.battic field. Win- ever you are, there no olinuco for you hut to shell out your mom y liberally. There is no excuso; our uohio ladies cull upon andotfor you tlioir assistance in doing good. Semi to their Societies wherever formed in Iho comity, a gen erous donation; they will use it well. If you still rofuso, may you all take a Bull Run Htampedo, und never he able to stop till you got where you belong, on tlio other sido of Mason and Dixon’s lino; ami when there, may some rrwr strop man client you*, out of the last of precious dollars! If you aro a married man may your wifo hen fire-eating secessionist. If you are a baoholor you might as well leave, tho mark of Cain will he iqioii you, and no .Southern girl will over dis grace herself with your name. Bless tlio Indies, they are sure to ho right iu thoso things, aud 1 know tjiey will mar ry no7n:iu„who refuses to defeml his country, with his strong arm or his purse. Mr. Editor, we have now Kent right companies from this county. Thoso aro us many as should ho sent at pros, out, ns it is fully half of our mon sub ject to military duty. Wo will no- doubt liavo to send others at a later day, or ivlmn our own Stato needs de fenders ; hut Floyd is now fully up to li*r duty. 1 liavo written a long arti cle ; I could not do les»; my heart is in this great work, and I trust my mo tives aro right. My dosiro is tlmt every praying man and woman hi tlio Souili may feel our dependence on the arm of Heavenly Father, tor success in our presout unhappy contest with tlio North, and may daily pray for peace. Tlio battlo is tho Lords; may ho give us strength lo smite our enemies, hip niul thigh, till tlio last one ho drlvon from our soil, and peace and plenty bioss our land. C. M. PENNINGTON. HOME.

Now, in addition to iho ubovo, tako into consideration tlio fat t tlmt an ex tra tax must bo laid to pay the interest on twenty-oiglit thousand dollut* of Railroad Bonds, issued by tlio old Court; und tlio fact that last winter's freshets carried off nearly all tho bridges Jn tho county; und the fact that euefi compa ny oquipped, gots fivo hundred dollars, more than it is expected oyer to refund, (though “Democritus” assumes that they aro to refund ull thoy got) and you will havo sonto cf U19 reasons that in duced tlio Court to eotno to tho conclu sion it did. Tho wholo county tax heretofore lias been uhout seven thousand dollars, aud yot wo shall now havo nil tlio ubovo namod purposes to answer, besides tho common county expenditures. If men a:u patriotic, ami wuut to do soinotliing to help along, lot thorn como up and proposo to cash some of the county bonds for tlio benefit of the neo- dy families, now 011 baud, instoad of following up and harking nt tho liccD of those who are trying to do tlio best they can. 11 seems tho bonds cannot ho negotiated for this purposo without considerable sacrifice. But sonto few of our monied men liavo already acted nobly in cashing bonds to opt ip volun teers, hut wo do not think thoy aro making any Bibs. Wliilo some counties huvo dono t great doal, others have dono compara tively little, it would seem but just that all should havo a chance- to do their part; yot, as wo act for tho people, and witJiouiany jiorsoim) motive whatever, except to clo for tho best, if wo could seo it was tlioir will, nml that they could ralso tho menus to make tlioir will good, wo would go to any extent whatever. But'wo want them to act with their eyes open. If tho people cn masso is disposed lo spoak, that is just what wo want to hear. Monoy is much harder to rniso in tho present condition of the country than usual. Levying a tax upon a willing pcoplo is ono thing, mill putting the money in their hands to pay it another, it is hard for us to got our consent to sacrifice county tiouds, which wo know would linvo to be paid iu full iu the cud, by taxation. m Sinco writing tlio above, wo have;fust hoard of somo public) meeting in tlio county asking us to go on and help all oil* that will go, regardless of expen ses. If tlio friends of companies am givo responsible names, who will tako county bonds at par, for tho required amounts it will relieve tho main difficulty. And wo will undertake to furnish so long as we can sec how the moans is to l»o* raised. Tho pcoplo now have tho fuels hoforo them and should thoy wish 'tho expenditures curtailed they cun say so in some public way. jl I*, iiaryey. j. t.c. T. J.i.f. WM.MifULU iTGll, 4. \Y. T.
