On th * Pm nindoii of n t'lafr lo lli-i
Hi l ilia of K inland’s Uistrit’4.
BY GEORtIE W. R. SANDERS.
Mrs. Paten and lj*xtlies, and
Gentlemen of tin Rutland Militia :
As I have been called upon to-day to
make a few remarks to you, the receivers of
this donation, I shall endeavor to do the
best iuy ability will allow.
Though I feel my inability to clothe the
subject in language which it so richly merits,
but, however, as the duty has devolved upon
me, I will try to give you a few words of
consolation and encouragement. Though 1
am young, and having had uo experience in
rnakiug an address of this kind, I hope you
will look over my imperfections. I feel that
words are inadequate to express the grati
tude which glows within my bosom, aud
that gratitude which should twine around
every heart present.
It is enough to arouse every heart of the
Southern Confederacy to a sense of thir
duty, and cause them to feel the condition
in which our once happy and prosperous
country now exists, may it cause them to
move forward with new energy, and contem
plate the perilous condition in which we are
pluced at the present.
Yea, did I uy, enough to arouse the
hearts of this Confederacy? Indeed, it was
truly spoken. When we see the fair ladies
of our lovely land manifesting such an inte
rest in trying to sustain the liberties for
which our forefathers fought, hied and died
—these are the rights for which we are con
tending—these are the liberties that we
must sustain—for without these life would
furnish no attraction, then, my fellow-mili
tia, let us preserve these blessings at all haz
ards and under all circumstances.
There are to-day many of our fellow-be
ings who are gone forth to the battle-field to
labor in defence of their once happy homes
and quiet firesides; inauy of them have
probably shook, for the last time, the hand
of that mother, father, sister, wife, as the
case may be, and are to-day laboring to pro
cure solace and happiness for those loved
ones at home—may Heaven smile upon their
efforts, and crown them with tiie laurels of
victory; and may they return home, where
they will be greeted by those lovely ones
whom they have left to mourn their depar
ture.
I will uow address the lady, the donor of
this flag; long may she live in prosperity
and happiness, aud may her path through
life be smooth, aud may it be cleared of ev
ery obstacle that is calculated to impede her
progress in this life; and may she stand ap
proved before all her fellow-creatures in this
world, and at last have a happy reception in
that celestial bliss where prosperity, peace
aud happiness never fade; and sorrow, pain
and death are feared and felt no more.
If this militia should be called to defend
the borders of their beloved State, may these
colors, which this patriotic lady lias labored
so arduously to procure, return home where
she can behold its bright and glorious colors,
with liberty and peace stamped upon its
summit, that she may enjoy once more a
peaceful home and happy lireside.
Oh! may the tree of liberty shoot its top
to the sun and its boughs spread out over
the Southern Confederacy, and its inhabi
tants lie down under its shade and repose in
peace. Oh! our lovely land, our glorious
and benign institutions have so long pro
gressed in peace and happiness, and are now
likely to be blotted out forever, without we
make a proper au<l judicious step at present,
its responsibility is a fearful one, it rests
with us, and us alone. God help us to act
wise in determining our part, and we will be
yet a happy ami prosperous people. And I
am sure if we put forth our energy and have
the power of the Great on high, we will be
able to crush old Link and his miserable
crew, and drive from our soil that which is
calculated to contaminate its nature; and he
who now sits at the capitol, as eonnnander
in-chief of the old Union, shall never sub
jugate a people so thoroughly united as we
are, nor shall he ever lower a single banner
that now waves as an insignia of this glo
rious Confederacy.
Now, my fellow-militia, I appeal to you;
exert every effort, both physical and mental,
to sustain the colors which are now present
ed to you; may they long wave over you as
patriots of the Southern Confederacy; may
they ever inspire those with new energy
that shall parade under these bright and
glowing colors; may they shine as a beacon
blaze to your eyes in the storm of battle,
and lead you forward to victory’s post; long
may this flag wave over you as a memento
of this lady’s affection, and may it never be
disgraced while it thus waves. May you
never suffer it to fall to the earth, if you
should discover your color-bearer falling to
the earth, spring with steps of alacrity and
catch the staff, as the brave and gallant Bar
tow did, aud bear it on aud bid your com
rades follow; and command as he did, never
give it up but tight till you die.
God forbid that a single star should be
ever erased from its visage; and may you
never suffer it to wipe from the soil of de
feat that which is calculated to efface its
bright and magnificent colors—rather than
this should be the case, fall upon your lines
and be shrouded in its folds.
This banner, this proud and glorious ban
ner that calls on Southern hearts to protect
and defend Southern rights, made by the
hands of this patriotic lady—moistened by
her tears and consecrated by her prayers—
has joyfully consigned to your keeping, and
may she rest assured, while she has done so,
that it will be in the custody of safe hands,
and will never be dishonored so long as one
nf your number survives to bear aloft its
beautiful folds in the pure sun-light of
Heaven.
Gentlemen and noble militia, to you this
is a noble prize—one I hope you will appre
ciate, and be ever ready to defend its bright
and magnificent colors—guard it as you
would a priceless legacy, cherish it as the
apple of your eye; and never let its beauti
ful folds trail in the dust of defeat until the
last man of you shall fall on the field of
glory.
I congratulate you in your happy choice
of a leader—your honored Captain, O. A.
Calhoun. We feel assured that if this mili
tia is called in defence of the borders of this
beloved State, that he will be brave and effi
cient in the cause of his country. We love,
we reverence, we the man that bravely
meets the foe, whether that foe be in the
form of man or of demon.
Go, then, brave militia and gallant Cap-
I tain! Go iu the strength of Him who led
I the hosts of Israel to victory; these patriot-
ic ladies will resign you; though dear and
precious as you may be to their hearts, they
cheerfully resign you in high and holy trust,
and fear no evil, for our glorious South shall
still be free. We have ever been a happy
and prosperous people, but prosperity has
its evils as well as adversity; and although
the plethora and prosperity which we have
so long enjoyed, or, that is, for a number of
years past, may have served to repress the
spirit of heroism and bury beneath the rub
bish of extravagant fan ies the fires of patri
otism, yet the present gloom and depression
of our country have evol e 1 them from their
dormant recesses, and to-day they are flam
ing brightly in every true woman's heart.
This is not a festive occasion, mirthful
ness and hilarity are not its appropriate in
signia; on the contrary, the thoughts and
suggestions, which suggest themselves, are
full of solemn and significant import. The
stern aud stubborn realization of war, with
all its accompanying horrors, is upon us;
our land is invaded, our suil polluted by the
tuad of a hostile and brutal soldiery. Oh !
let us meet them with a strong hand and
trust in God, and victory will be ours.—
Trust in Him who piesides over the desti
nies of all nations; let us trust in Him and
ask his power in our behalf, for it is Cod,
alone, that can give us peace and happiness
here below.
Oh ! what a prosperous and happy coun
try we have had for many years past, but it
appears that our prosperity, peace and hap
piness are about to be extinguished forever;
Heaven forbid that this should be the con
dition of this once happy land; may we yet
be smiled upon by Him who is able to make
all things prosper well, and may we,
through the agency of his power, be able,
ouce more, to stamp peace and liberty upon
the banner that now waves over the South
ern Confederacy.
We might search this globe from one ex
tremity to the other, and where would we
find a nation of people that has ascended
higher the hills of science than this, and
have ever been endeavoring to cultivate its
principles to the superlative degree—the
stream of literature has ever been flowing
large and free through our land, and thous
ands have drank copiously of its lucrative
waters, and there still remains many thous
ands sipping at this sweet fountain, and
Heaven graut that they may sip a superflui
ty of maguificent blessiugs. Let us pause
for a moment aud ask ourselves the question,
must such a people be ever subjugated ?
Can such a fountain of literature be ever
evaporated? No, never, while Heaven con
tinues to smile upon us in such a copious
manner. Then, my fellow-citizens, let this
inspire us to act, let it be an admonition to

Members of the Rutland Militia; If we
should be called in defence of the borders
ol our beloved State, let us never suffer this
banner, with its beautiful colors, to fall in
the dust, but let us fight for our rights, our
liberty, ourselves, the fair maidens of our
land, and for future generations, under its
flying colors, and let it never fall into the
hands of a treacherous foe. Men, remem
ber that which is placed in our care, remem
ber our promise and let it never prove false,
but let us carry it when we go, and when
we return, let us return it as we received it,
and with the laurels of victory.
M rs. Paten : Accept the sincere thanks of
the Rutland Militia for this beautiful ban
ner which you have presented to us, and be
assured that we will never prove recreant to
the trust which you have reposed in us, but
that it will be preserved from the wicked
hands of a desolating foe.
And to you, the color-bearer, I commit
this beautiful banner; protect these colors
for the sake of this fair lady and for our
sake, because it is the flag of our Southern
Confederacy. And should you ever be
called-tp bear its flying colors into the field
of battle, defend it at all hazards and under
ail circumstances; and if permitted to re
turn home, return it to this lady, who has
presented it, with the honors of victory;
and you, yourself, will have the honor of
having fought in defence of the Southern
Confederacy and under its noble flag.
Important Movf’iiiont in Southern
Kentucky.
On Monday, 28th ult., a number of prom
inent citizens of Southern Kentucky met at
Russellville, for the purpose of consulting
together relative to the future, feeling that
duty to themselves and their posterity, the
protection of their constitutional rights their
lives and liberty-, demanded that they should
resist the oppressive legislation of the State
Legislature, and the tyranny of the Lincoln
Dynasty. They remained in conference for
several days, with closed doors. Before their
final adjournment, the induction of secrecy
upon their proceedings was removed.
About forty counties Merc represented in
the conference. Hon. 11. C. Burnett pre
siding, and R. McKee and T. S. Brian acted
as Secretaries. A series of resolutions, ie
ported by Hon. G. \V. Johnson, were adopt
ed. They recite the unconstitutional and
oppressive acts of the Legislature, proclaim
revolution, provide for a Sovereignty Conven
tion at Russellville, on the 18th of the pres
ent mouth recommend the organization of
county guards to be placed in the seivice of
and paid by the Confederate States Govern
ment, pledges resistance to all Federal and
State taxes for the prosecution of the war on
the part of the United States, ami appoint
Robert McKee, John C. Breckinridge, Hum
phrey Marshall, George W. KwiDg, H. W.
Bruce, George P. Hodge, William Preston,
George W. Johnson, Blanton Duncan and
P, B. Thompson, to carry out the resolutions.

The following particulars of the late en
gagement by Col. McDonald s command
with the enemy we believe to be as near the
truth as can be arrived at from the various
conflicting accounts given by those who were
participants in the tight and flight. On
Thursday, the 24th of October, the enemy,
1,000 strong, stationed at New Creek, were
reinforced from Grafton by Gen. Kelly’s
brigade, consisting of three regiments of in
fantry, time companies of cavalry, and sev
eral pieces of artillery. On Friday they took
up their line of march tor Rouiney in two
columns, 1,000 approaching by way of
Springfield, aud Kelly’s brigade advancing
by way of the North-western Turnpike.—
Friday night Kelly was encamped at Ridge
ville, 14 miles from Rouiney. Continuing
their advance early Saturday morning, they
were met at Mechauicsburtr by two pieces of
artillery and a portion of Col. McDonald’s
command, consisting of 150 cavalry all told,
commanded by Major Fuuston. Finding
the enemy in overwhelming force, Maj. F.
fell back to the gap, two miles from Rom
ney, and maintained his position from 10
A. M. until 2 P. M., when finding that a
large force of the enemy had crossed the
mountain and would cut them off, he retreat
ed across the liver to the bluffs commanding
the river aud roads. Seventy men were
placed in the rifle pits upon the bluff com
manding the bridge and ford—the balauce
(80) were held as a reserve. The howitzer
was placed upon the same bluff to the right
ot the rifle pits, Major Funston commanding
the howitzer and rifle pits. The rifle can
non was placed upon Cemetery Hill, the re
serve forces in its rear, commanded by Col.
McDonald. This position was maintained
until 4j o’clock P. M., when the enemy
succeeded in turning our flank by the Moore
field road, and advanced upon the rifle pits
in three columns, our meu retreating in good
order to the reserve, when an immediate
retreat of our entire force was ordered.—
Overtaking our baggage train this end of
town, our forces were thrown iuto confusion.
The enemy advancing iu overwhelming num
bers aud close proximity, all attempts to ral
ly them proved futile, so that the entire
train, consisting of ten wagons, with three
pieces of artillery, clothing aud ammuni
tion, also the Quartermaster’s papers and
effects had to be abandoned.
We lost none in killed or missing in this
astray. Major Funston, while making a
desperate effort to rally his men, was thrown
from his horse aud considerably bruised.—
His energy and bravery is spoken of in high
terms of praise. He is now here, and will
in a few days be in the saddle again. The
great fault in this uufortunate affair appears
to be in not sooner having ordered a retreat;
300 men against 3,000 could not have been
expected to hold good their own, howtver
brave they may have been, or however cow
ardly their enemies. Where the fault lies,
however, not knowing we will not undertake
to say. Dr. Burns, the Surgeon of the Reg
iment, saved the ambulance, the only thing
saved. The Doctor’s gallantry in attempt
ing to rally the inen and protect the baggage,
deserves all praise, as also Lieut. Lionberg,
of Page,who had command of the rifle gun.
Col. McDonald himself acted with the ut
most coolness and bravery. He was the last
to leave gun, and the last to leave the town.
The Militia under Col, Monroe, 200
strong, acted most nobly. They met the
regiment 1,000 strong of the enemy, ad
vancing on the Springfield road, at the Chain
or Wire Bridge, killing about 40 of them,
and completely routing the rest. The ene
my, 4,000 strong, hold possession of Rom
ney, whilst 1,000 are encamped at Spring
field. It is to be supposed that a force will
be immediately sent to dislodge them. The
authorities at Richmond have been apprised
of the condition of affairs in our border
counties, and will doubtless take such steps
as may be necessary for their protection.—
Winchester ( In.) Republican, IsL
Boys Going to War.
We have more than once raised our voice
against the evil our lads and voulh were
bringing on us and themselves, by their haste
to rush to the field. We are glad to see the
matter receive more attention. The follow
tacts, stated by the Richmond correspondent
of the Charleston Courier , deserve notice.
A great portion of our ick soldiers are
boys. The practice of permitting boys to
enlist in the army for active service cannot
be too strongly condemned. Os course the
display of patriotism on the part of chival
rous youth is very gratifying, but the circum
stances show that our boys can be of far more
service to the State as a reserve, than in the
field, exposed to the terrible hardship of a
campaign.
At the office of the Assistant Quarter
master-General, which I sometimes visit, I
have been struck with the extreme youth of
many of the applicants for free transporta
tion to their homes. There stand boys scarce
ly fifteen or sixteen years of age, pale shriv
elled aud wan, bent with disease, their half
formed aud outraged constitutions speaking
for themselves against the folly of the system.
These boys will fight as long and shoot as
accurately as any men, on the field of battle,
but they do not possess the bodies to support
their great souls. They are unequal to the
task of fighting agaius’t scauty food, heavy
work, forced marches, extreme heat and ex
treme cold, and are the very first to fall vic
tims to the prevailing camp epidemics. They
become, therefore, a burden instead of a help
to the republic. While we have men enough
to fight our battles, let the youths be kept at
home, either iu their schools, or, if their
martial valor outleaps all curbs in military
training. With constant attendance in the
drill room and the gymnasium, the Southern
youths of sixteen will four years hence be
come the nio-t effective soldiers in the Con
federacy. The Spartans were the most hardy
and athletic troops iu the world, for by the
laws of Lycurgus, the Spartan was forced to
spend his youth iu training for a militarv
career, and was not admitted iuto the army
until he had attained the age of twenty.

Uegiuii‘in.
A member of the company It. in this regi
ment writiug to the Savannah Republican
from Green Bridge, irginia, gives a touch
inl and awful account of the miseries to
which these gallant Georgians have been
subjected. It is enough to move a heart (4’
of Stone to read how they have suffered, for
the want of proper management and atten
tion, to languish and cruelly die far awnv
fioin the home and friends they had sacriti
ced all to defend. The regiment consisted
of TOO men, and the writer says there were,
on the 23d ultimo, but 125 capable of doing
duty. The hardships to which they have
i been exposed staggers belief. The corres
pondent says that 100 have died, about 50
discharged, and 13 commissioned officers
have resigned. He is dowu on the officers
that have returned home, as all the people
should l>e. This correspondent doe.s not
speak in a very flattering manner of the sur
geon of the 14th Regiment. He says one
px:r soldier called on him for medicine; the
doctor told him there was nothing the mat
ter with him; to go along to his company
and perform his duty. The soldier dragged
himself into a tent near by laid down, and
in a few minutes was dead I
Ppeople of Gejrgia! i* this the treat
ment to which you wish your brave sons
and brothers to be subjected ? The Govern
ment, by their carelessness and inattention,
and in consequence of employing onprinei
paled and depraved officers, have caused the
death of thousands of brave Southern man
in Virginia. The comfort of the private
soldier is not regarded as it should be.
The very men upon whom rests the en
tire burden of achieving Southern indepen
dence, are treated in some instances like
dogs, and left to die and rot in the mud in
Virginia. There is too much politics in
this war; and unless the Government of the
Confederacy pays more attention to the ne
cessities of the private soldier, and bestows
office on those only who arc w orthy and weli
qualified to fill such offices, it will be fouud
impossible ever to raise another such army
as now holds the enemy in check all along
our border.
The brave Georgians of the 14th Regi
ment require many necessaries. The citi
zens of our noble old State have donu much,
but they are capable of doing much more. —
It is only necessary that the distress of our
soldiers should be known, to be promptly
relieved.— Central Georgian.
A Valuable Preparation—Heat
Bread.
The Scientific American some time sinc-o
contained the following description of tho
process for making meat biscuit, which con
tains the nutriment of over five pounds of
meat in one pound of bread, having bedsides
the condensed animal food of ten ouuces of
flour:
An engine of ten horse power, with two
cylinder boilers, constitutes the pow< r to
drive the machinery, which consists of bis
cuit machines to knead, roll and cut tin;
dough, a grist mill to pulverize the biscuit,
a fan to raise the fire in a blast furnac for
heating the oven, and the “guiliotiu” to
cut the meat in small pieces. There arc
four wooden cauldrons and tubs, for boiling
the meat and evaporating the liquid or broth
—the two for boiling the meat holding 2,300
gallons, will each boil 7,000 pounds of meat
in twelve to sixteen hours. The other two
for evaporating, will contain some 1,400 gal
lons each. All the tubs are heated or boiled
by steam passing through long coiled iron
pipes, supplied either from the escape steam
from the engine, or direct from the boiler.
When the meat is so far biled or macerated
that the liquid or broth contains the entire
nutriment, the meat or corpnreous portions
are separated by a simple process of filtering,
so that the broth goes into the evaporator
pure and fiee from fibrous matter. It is
then evaporated to a degree of consistence
resembling sugar house syrup. One pound
of this syrup or extract contains the nutri
ment of some eleven pounds of meat (in
cluding its usual proportion of bone) as first
put into the tub.
That extract is then mixed with the best
and fiuest flour, kneaded and made into bis
cuit, by means of the machines before men
tioned. The biscuit is baked upon paus in
an oven so constructed as to produce a uni
form firmness. The proportion is as two
pounds of extract are to three pounds of
flour, but by baking the five pounds of dough
is reduced to four pounds of biscuit—the
nutriment of over five pounds of meat in
one pound of bread which contaius besides
over ten ounces of flour. The biscuit re
sembles in appearance a light colored sugar
cake. It is packed in air-tight casks or tin
canisters of different sizes, part of the bis
cuit being pulverized and packed with tho
whole.
The Potomac Considered as a
Boundary.
The Wasbiuglou Republican, of a late
date, has the following article relative to the
Potomac river. It altounds in curious sug
gestions coming from a Government organ :
There is more occasion for congratulating
ourselves upon the good luck of the fact that
the navigation of the Potomac haso nly re
cently been impended than there is for fiud
inf fault with the Administration, because
the Confederates have at last erected batter
ies on the Virginia shore. It uever was
possible to prevent that by anything short
of occupying it at all points where the chan
nel is within cannon shot, which, of course,
has not beeu within the limits of practica
bility. And it is not easy to understand
why the Confederates havq not before im
proved the opportunity to obstruct the navi
gation by batteries.
There is nothing possible iu the case but
to take measures to dislodge them from
whatever points they may actually occupy
in this way, and to wait patiently for that
permauent relief from the difficulty which is
only to be fouud in the expulsion, or retreat,
of the enemy’s main army centering upon
Manassas Junction.
The blockade of the river illustiates the
folly of the politicians who have proposed to
the country a division upon the “line of the
Potomac ” upon the supposition that Wash
ington is to remain the Capital of the North
ern States. We can have no secure access
to the sea unless we have both shores of the
Potomac, and, indeed, without that, Wash
ington itself would be within cannon range
of an alien jurisdiction. If we give up Vir
ginia, we may as well give up Maryland, and
retire with the national archives to the Dela
ware or the Hudson. If we hold Washing
ton, we must hold both sides of the Potomao
and the whole circuit of the Chesapeake Ray .
