! W In order that our wotkmen may have
do'opportunity of participating in the celebra
tion to take place To-Morrow, the “ Re pub
lican” ia issued on a half ahcci, and its usual
day o! publication anticipated.
On Wednesday last, the Volunteers and Mi
litia. whphad been stationed at this place by
the proper authority for the protection of the
town against any attempts of the British who
threatened ns with invasion, were dischsrg-
ed Arcin'their military duties, and this day have
returned to their families and homes.
The conduct of the tnditia has in every res
pect been snatked wi'h th* zeal and good con*
I due* which has called forth the folio wiog tcsiL
ituonial of «b« 0« qualifitsd approbation of their
commander. While noticing this subject, it
would be the height of injus’.ue no. to award
merit and patriotism its due praise. The
"Augusta Bluet M “Rangers .’’ and •*Guards
two companies of Volunteer I lsntry, command
;ed by Captains Gamble and BO.unt, and a corps
ef Riflemen, Captain Buford, are entitled to
!this distinction. Since their arrival at this
place to the day of their departure, they have
conducted themselves in a manner, that while
it has rt fl cted the highest praise on themselves,
bas secured to them the approbation of every
tone. They never shrunk from the fatigues and
hardships which io common with the rest, they
tvere called upon to undergo ; but bent upon
'■g rigid performance oi tbeir du*y, they rather
courted than shunned them. In the hour o*
alarm too, they were ever ready, and among
i the first willing to meet i'; and that they are
not equally ea distinguished for their prowess
In “ the battles heat,"as for their exeropls'v
1 conduct in the general discharge of their du'y*
is asctlbable to the enemy, who has not afpud
