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 us to urge forward and perform nobly every duty that may devolve upon us, let us have every power engaged, both mental and phy sical, in behalf of our once happy homes and quiet firesides, and confide in Him who is able to give neace, solace and liberty to all. O, may our country long possess Contentment, peace ami happiness; Ami we, her sons and daughters, hence, Be richly blessed by Providence. Fair Freedom, let thy ensign wave Till stern Oppression finds a grave; And let thy colors proudly soar Till Tyrants’ power is felt no more. 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. Dick, a slave, was put upon his tjial be fore Laurens Superior Court on Friday last, for the murder of his master, Wm. S. Rozier, on the od July, 1800, was found guilty by the jury and sentenced by the Judge (Ilau sell) to be hung Dick was purchased by Mr. R. from a negro trader from Virginia not very long since. Thus we see how the law operates allowing the free introduction by speculators of the worst description of ne groes—not frequently run off for offences— into our State.— Ukadhen* Recorder^ Tlic Kohiim*? Fight. 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.

He says that soaked in water until they are softened, and stewed in molasses, they are not only wholesome, but very palatable, and an excellent substi tute for fruit or vegetables.

Ilerrible hufferiuyi of tit> 1 atli 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 .
