Whatever be the result of the enemy’s attack on the coast, we jnu-t dive men, armed ns bestthey may be, and plenty of them, to resi-t his efforts to penetrate the interior He must be kept in check. Companies armed with pikes, such as, we are informed, have been made in Atlanta, and rough bo'.vie knives, such as any blaek- sm it b can make, would prove formidable in a hand-Lo- inmd contest. If guns enough cannot be had at once, let regiments be formed and anned with the pike. In the hands of brave and strong men, the weapons are more serviceable than the bayonet. They may be made to thrust or to cut; our enemy can’t stand against them. The burning of bridges over the State Road, ginnrs that there are enemies amongst us, and that tin- utmost vigilance should be exercised to ferret out the scoundrels in our midst. Every county should take its domestic affairs under immediate considera tion and adopt such stringent police regulations a.- ui.iv secure its peace and safety. All suspicious per- g,,i,- should lie closely watched, and, if deemed liSccs sarv, Committees of safety should be chosen to det.-i niuic such cases as may be brought before them. Th times call for determined action. Every good citizen should come to the rescue. “Thrsr arc the tiuirs that try tneii’n souls.” When in the Revolution, the British took New York, and the American Army was retreating through New Jersey, Tom Paine wrote an article on the crisis, and made use of the memorable wolds that heads this article. The present crisis will try the souls of the men of Georgia and South Caro. Jina as severely a- ever were those of our ancestors in the Revolution. The war cloud, which, for some time, has been black and threatening in the North, is now hovering over our coast, and belching forth its thundering* and lightnings upon oui very le-ads. Will the people of Georgia and South Carolina be found equal to the crisis ? We have strong coniidenco that they will. It is true the enemy has obtained a temporary foot hold in out sister State, but that ought not to dismay or dis hearten us in the least, it we do our duty as brave men should, but very few of that boasted army that has now lauded upon our coast, will ever return to their homes. Their flesh will fat. ten the Buzzards of the South, and their bones will be left tc bleach on Southern sands. Men of Georgia and Carolina, rally and gird yourselves for the contest. The memory of your ancestors, and tlie sacred honor of your wives and daughters, demand that you cleanse the soil of your noble States from tlie pollution of the invader. CliajilaiiiM in the 4«corgta Arm) . We believe there is no provision made for Chaplains in the Volunteer Regiments of the State. We profess to be a Christian people, and surely if there ever was a time when we should acknowledge our dependence on the God of Bat ties for help, that time is now. The influence of a worthy man as Chaplain to a Regiment is of great importance. He not only has great influence and cout:ol over the morals of the inert, but he can be very useful in counselling, and encouraging the sick and wounded. Indeed, we think the services of a Chaplain in the army are invaluable, and should never be dispensed with, when they can be obtained. Would it not be well for our Leg islature to make provisions for the appointment and support of Chaplains in the regiments intend ed for delence of our sea coast. Many of the members of the Legislature have sons and other near relatives in these regiments who may de sire the consolation and advice of a good tnan, when suffering from sickness or wounds The I.auics' Fair. The Fair held by the ladies of this city and Mid way, at the Masonic Hali on Wednesday night last, wa* decidedly a success. If the halls had beer, larger the comfort of the large company pre sent would have been greatly enhanced. I he supper room was arranged with great good taste, and the tables groaned with good things. 1 his department was under the charge of several mar ried ladies of this city, whoso exertions deserve the highest praise, '1 he saleroom was beautifully oruameuted with flowers and evergreens; and the several stands were undei the charge ot pretty and pleasant young ladies, whose winniug ways took tlie money out of a fellow s pocket as it by ntagic. As the net amount will go to the soldiers, we need only add that a'l who participated in the Fair ought to be perfectly satisfied with the result. Over $609 were received. Five hundred, or more, of which was clear profit. W e may be par- tial, but it is our opinion, that our ladies can put as tine a polish on an entertainment of this kind, as can be done by those of any town or city in the Confederacy. They go in to succed aud they never fail of their mark. Tlie Rill to prevent .Monopolies ami Sipmi- Inlionsin Rrendu!nil* and other Articles of €2c*ia**t'j* 1 I M’ nml Coii*->i5»i»i»tioji. We have no doubt tlie members of the Legislature sincerely and houesily desire to protect the people froai the extortion of speculators. That is all right and proper; but will the bill now before the Legisla ture have that ciT.*cl ? Tue effect of this is confined to two important articles, viz: Wheat and salt.— There is another article in more geuaral use, especial ly among tlie poor; that is corn, that this bill does not touch. We know by experience, that men are dis posed to speculate in corn as well as wheat. Why, then is not extortion in the price of corn provided against? But will the passage of that bill make suit more plentiful or cheaper ? Tlie bill makes it a misde meanor for any person to sell wheat or salt for more than twice as much as me same article could be bought for a year ago. We believe that wheat was selling far nearly two dollars per bushel a year ago, d >uble that amount, or four dollars per bushel, would be extortion enough iu all conscience, and more than any man can get for it, so that the prohibition on wheat minimi.s to nothing. On the other hand, the bounds set to the price of salt will probably prevent any from being brought into the market. A year ago salt was selling in Savannah for less than a dollai per sack. Merchants are prohibited from selling it for more than double that amount, or two dollars per sack. No man can afford to buy salt and bring it here for two dollars a sack now, and the consequence of the passage of this law will be, that no more salt will be brought into the country whilst this law remains in force, because the price to which it is restricted would not pay expense. Had we not better let the laws of trade and public opinion regulate these things. Mer chants suffer as much or more by the war, than any other class of citizens. The stay law prevents them from collecting their debts. Many of the planters who owe them, will neither pay them in provisions or Money, anu in all contributions for soldiers or their their families, they are tlie first called upon to contrib ute, and they generally give more according to their Means than any other class. It is very difficult to regulate the prices of provisions, or any other article by law, sous not to make Liiiogs worse. If the Legis lature can reach tlie combinations of companies, torui- ed to monopolise and raise the price of articles of ue- eee.*i:y, they will do "well to punish them. Public opinion and the law of demand aud supply, must regu late the prices of articles in a great degree. Any at tempt to fix the price of an article by law, wc tear will make such articles scarce and more difficult to obtain. Those Shy locks who attempt to speculate 0u t of the necessities of their neighbors will be put down and severely punished by an outraged public opinion. —■ Majorities. Col.

The Prince of Wales has rightly observed this practice in his tour through the United States never stopping more than three days in any place, unless Sunday intervened. Many families would rejoice to have this fashion introduced in to the Untied StateB. For the Southern Federal Union. I.ctter from Vorktown. November 4. I8G1. Dun Sir : Although the papers have had us in several blondv eugag- nients. we have not seen the enemy ret, though ue aie anticipating that favor every day, and every night. Alarms are frequent enough, and we make night and before day light marcher enough, but up to this time it left been for no purpose, and done no good except to keep our men on the alert, aud cure the sick. The idea ot getting into a tight will cure our sick men, sooner Ilian all the drugs I can pour into them, will.— This is no joke. 1 have seen it over and over again: some brave feilows sicken from inaction—they get worn out with camp life—get to thinking ot home, wives and sweethearts, and in a few days they arc on the s < k list wiih fever. The Surgeon feels their pulse—looks at their tongue and wisely attri butes it to malaria Arc., gives his Calomel and Qui nine—the poor fellows get a little better, but not well—they remain languid ; indisposed to exertion, mope about camps, looking for something they never find, aud so continue for day after day.— Now let a courier dash up to the Colonel's tent, with one of these big yellow Envelops in his hand, let tiie order be given to prepare two day's rations, and be ready to march at daylight. The change effected in these very men, who a moment before appeared almost helpless, is magical; they straight en up, start off in a brisk walk or run to ’.heir tents, or camp tires, laughing, joking, aud talking, as it they never had beeu sick. They aie in le ility sick no more. Tney have forgotten all their b>d feel ings iu their eagerness to pitch into t le Yankees.— I tel! you Volunteers may ntver make regulars, mere machines, hul they wili'always be on hand, whenever a foe is to be met, or a battle to be fought. They dont want to miss a single chance, and must be sick indeed, when they hold back.— I knew one instance in which a member of the cavalry, had been confined to be 1 for several day* with high fever, and who has since beeu danger ously ill, that exhiutts well, this spirit in our men. An alarm was giveii one night—he crawled O' t ot Lis tent, strapped on his gun and sword, picked up Lis saddle, and started for his horse. Before he had g me very far, hu was informed the infantry alone would turn out, whereupon he got quite mad, said they told him the cavaliy were going too, aud they ought to have a showing. He was then so exhausted, that it was with difficulty he couid get back to his tent. Now tell tne where you will find the foe that can conquer such soldiery, or the reg ulars that will do any harder fighting than these men will. Ail that our men need is to be shown the enemy, all they ask is to he allowed a chance to tight them. If you keep our volunteers back until they become regulars, their spiiit will he bro ken, and they will not rush into danger, with the same alacrity, as they will now. Our Generals are brave men aud true, and they know what they are about, and will conduct the war to a sate, and a glorious termination—a termination that will en robe our Confederate army in laurels of glory, and impress a salutary dread of our arms upon our northern foes; but I do not believe they appreciate fully the material of which our army is at present composed. I do not suppose there ever was such an army ever collected in the world. It is an army of gentlemen, aye of gentleman. Not poor, igno rant, dependent men, niring themselves out at so many doliars a month to be shot at—but the besi blood in our laud—wealthy men, and sons of wealthy men, who never knew what want was— who have lived all their lives iu luxury. Educa ted men, who are competent to till any position with credit to themselves. Men of high social standing aud moral worth. These are they who have cheerfully left ail tlie comforts of home, and gone forth to the privations of camp life, as pri vates—cooking their own food—washing t'ueii own clothes, and-after laboring all day like slaves, lie down at night, in their blankets and straw—cr through rain aud cold walk their lone rounds as guards to tiiose who sleep. Such is the material ot our gallant army. These men came tor no idle display—they came to defend their country against the low lived hirelings who dare invade it, and they will defend it, he the odds what they may. I did not imeiid to expatiate on this subject, but 1 can never think of it without becoming excited and if writing, go ahead just as if I thought my views were original, or especially interesting. But you are aware, that what I state is true, and that upon its truth depends in large measure the success of our arms in this contest. It appears to he a very general impression that we are to have warm work here on the Peninsula before the winter is over, and it may be so, hut every thing however is prob ably kept secret, and all outside is mere conjee ture. There is no doubt the enemy arc collecting a very large force at Fortress Monroe, and New Port News, and this would be a very desiiable place lor them to winter at, but I presume they are well awaie, they will iiavejsome mighty hard fight ing to do, before they can get possession. We are ready, and anxiously awaiting iheii visit, when ever they may deign to make us a call, and we are fully prepared to give them a warm and hearty nceptiou—would it not be strange if Yorktown should witness the dosing scene of another revolution? Y'ou know that for a long time, 1 be lieved, there would be another great battle here on the 18th of October; the anniversary of the defeat of Cornwallis. It would have been a glorious day for us if wa couid have met, and overthrown the millions of Lincoln on the same field, upon which Washington defeated those of George the Fourth! Would it not have been a great victory? But 1 atn writing much mote than I intended. The health of tlie Legion is gradually improving since the weather has become cooler. We have had an im mense deal of sickness, though fortunately the mor tality has been very small. There is great difficul ty iu procuring suitable diet for the sick, and hence convalescence is very slow. Chickens and eggs (the standard articles in such cases) are ex tremely scarce, in fact it is impossible to procure any thing tike an adequate supply. The well, have an abundance of good beef, but that does noi suit the feeble digestive powers of the sick. We are busily at work now building lints for winter quarters, and if the Yankees dont drive us out, w nl soon be quite comfortable. It is rather coo now to be sleeping in tents without tins, and will he very bad iu a little while. Urge the people all you can to send as many blankets to the soldicr- as possible, they are in great need of them, the government cannot purchase them. Let. the hos pitals alone until the Soldiers in the field have been fully supplied. Send contributions direct to the captains oi companies or Colonels of regiments, as tiie surest means of getting them where >ou w ant ihein to go. Let these committees alone — Each county ought to see to it that their own com panies arc well supplied with warm clothing and blankets before tin y extend their beneficence to others. Uige this matter Sir, every week in your p iper, aud you will he duing a good work. 1 Know that numbers and numbers have only a sin gle blanket, and no warmer clothing than then on.forms. Under such circumstances y ou know there will be great suffering this winter amongst our troops. I notice a number of persons ccntiib- titing blank, ts, and quilts tu the Hospital: all that does very well, but the sick in those institutions will be comfortable and warm, when the poor sol dier in the field will be shivering in the cold. 1 will write you an article ou this subject, if I can get time which you may publish, hut in the mean while, I want y ou to keep it before the people that they may see to it at once. If each county will contribute an ample supply for their own compa nies. the work will be done, done effectually. 1 am writing now from personal observation. Tlie winters here aro very S'vere; it is worse in wes tern Virginia. Let our people in Georgia see to it that their volunteers sutler tor nothing that can contribute to their comfort during the severe months that are to come. But really l must close, I have been quite sick for several bays, but am im proving, and hope in a short time to resume my du ties. CTiirknmicoiiiico Again. Messrs. Editors—I semi you the following letter from the Adjutant ofthe Third Georgia Regiment, as a si quel to the one transmitted you a few days ago, and published in your weekly of the 12th inst. The present letter is necessary to complete the record of Yankee prowess on the North Carolina coast. J.A.T. Roanoke Island, N.C., } Oc». 9th, 1861. $ My Dear Brother—A steamer leaves here to-mor row for Elizabeth City, and since I have so few op portunities for mailing letters, I will avail myself ot the present one, although 1 sent you a long pencil scrawl by Henderson Cogburu, a few days ago. Aly uiind is still full of our expedition against the Yankees who w ere encamped at Cliickaimcomico—(this I have as certained at last iu the orthography)--aud I mustcou- tinue to luirp ou that. If tlie North Carolinians couid only have succeeded iu lauding below, und cutting tlie Yankees off we w ould have captured the whole regi ment without the loss ot a man on our part. Never were soldiers more panic-stricken than they were. The Curiew did steam down the Sound, and the Nortli Carolinians attempted to wade to land, but encounter ed a channel of very deep water about half way be tween the place at which they got iuio the water and the shore, and had to turn back. We were told by sonic Islanders that, when the Yankees saw our troops attempting to land below- them, they drew upon the beach, and prepared a white ting for the purpose of surrendering ; but, Beeing the fail ure to effect a landing, they continued their flight. Many of them pulled off aud threw away, not odIv their coats and shoes, but even their pantaloons. If one of our howitzers had been put on a light draught boat, schooner, or something of the sort, and run in close to shore below,tiring two or three shots ahead, it would have had the same effect as landing troops, in compelling the enemy to surrender. The Yankee camp was a little North of where I lauded, and the fugitives ran South. I went after them, aud did not visit their camp at all. I have seen all sorts of private letters, journals, envelopes with devices on them, daguerreotypes, and almost every thing you can conceive of, belonging to the Yankees. Several persons have given me envelopes, but I have mislaid them. I read two journals which had entries in them, mude during halts on the retreat. After tlie entries were made, the owners were so closely pushed, as to be compelled to throw away every garment that had pockets; bo they lost their journals. In my other letter, I failed to make mention of the gallant conduct of our brave Colonel (Wright.) Being the officer in command, his duty called him to the Yan kee camp, after our return to our vessels, and he did what very few others did—remained on the island till next morning. And this leads me to speak of au inci dent which occurred in our pursnit of the enemy. Col. Wright, as I wrote you before, had procured a horse, and was riding along some distance ahead of the main body of the troops. No one at all was immediately in company with him, though a few soldiers were not very far off. He, (the Colonel,) saw some men ahead, just where a point of marsh runs to the road We Were travelling,and. thinking they belonged to our regi- ■neut, he approached very near, when lie pere ived thev were enemies. Knowing it would not do to re treat. iic rushed forward with drawn pistol.calling out, *’You are my prisoners!” Quick as thought, eleven Yankee soldiers scattered about in the marsh, leveled t heir muskets and tired. Hi* horse was shot down and he himself fell to the ground with considerable, of a shock. Rising to hi* knees, he leveled his pistol a‘ the nearest man, who ran like a rabbit. lie fired and missed. The Yankees and he kept up a real skirmish for some moments, before anyone arrived to his assist ance. The first man he shot at loaded and fired the second time, and tried to make a third shot. In the meantime Col. Wright had caught hold of tae smallest of the Yankees—(a mere boy)—and made a shield of his body. Tiie result was, four prisoners were taken, the other seven men making their escape. The Y j'.ii- kees must have beeu miserably frightened, judging from their bad shooting. You will recollect that 1 wrote you that Colonel Wright urged me to get a horse when wetirst landed, and that I was too impa tient of delay to attempt it. AVeil.it 1 had got the horse, I might have been with tiie Colonel in the scrimmage—but, some how, hick was against me. If wc had only known the exact situation of the enemy's camp, and had landed below him, , hut regrets are useless. On our return up the islan i, our courage was put to the severest possible test. It i* generally understood to require bravery to stand hour after hour, and ex change galling tire with the enemy on equal terms ; hut in that instance, one knows that liis chance for doing mischief is as good as liis foes. To storm a bat terv, requires still more courage than the first for one knows that though he may be too far from tae enemy to reach him when he starts, he will proaablv soon be near enough to act effectively. To stand ex posed to cannonading for a certain length of time, knowing that at some moment the order to advance will be given, when an opportunity to return the mur derous fire will be allowed ; this tries tlie nerves; but we were exposed to a five hours’ shelling, without being able to reply,and knowing that no opportunity would ever be allowed us to reply. Some of the offi cers on our steamers counted over four hundred shot firt-d at us. No one wasseriously wounded, but it was new to us, and we expected to be decimated at least : and to one who knows nothing of such things, it will appear strange that half of us were not slain. AV. AY. TURNER. [We did not publish the first letter, owing to its length.—Eds. Fed. Union.] Respect to the Day. Friday last was very generally observed in this city. The public places of busi ness were closed during the entire day, and there was nothing in the appearance of the streets to distinguish the day from the Sabbath. The religions exercises tvere united at the capitol—all denominations o Christians participating. A very large audience listened attentively and Avith pleasure to an able discourse from Prof. H. LI. Tucker, D. D., of Penfield, Georgia, which will doubtless he published. The day was beautiful like its predecessors for a week past, aud a large portion of the congregation at the capitol was composed of ladies. It was altogether an imposing occasion. Correspondence of the Nashville Union. Bowling Green, Nov. 6 At this time, every town in the Com monwealth on the Ohio river, is invested with Federal 'roops; a large force is con gregating under Gen. McCook, and tend ing to this direction along the turnpike from Louisville; a report reached here to day that the pickets extend as far south a- Bear Wallow, which is only twelve mile? north of Glasgow. Greensburg is again occupied by two thousand ot the enemy under General Ward, while others are en gaged in making efforts to cross Green River at Munfordville. General Mitchell, in command of the Northern Division is receiving troops at Covington, who are being fonvarded in the direction of East Tennessee, andrumoi lias it that General Rosencrantz is to cross over from Western Virginia into the north ern part of the State with all the forces under his command. Again, statements are being made that tioops are being con centrated at Jeffersonville and Evansville, Indiana, whose evident destination is the interior of Kentucky. Taken in connec tion with the foregoing, the action of the last Legislature, aided by a subsidized press to provoke divided sentiment, which exists to a lamentable extent, and the oc cupying of a portion of the State by the (’unfederates, leaves no room to doubt, that a fearful storm is impending, and must soon burst forth, attended with the hor rors of fierce civil war. General Pillorr was here last evening, and left again this morning. Look out for startling rumors. General L. I* Walker’* Brigade. General Bragg, who commands both at Pen.«a cola and Mobile, having telegraphed to Genera Walker that he needed more troops at each o- those points, Gen.

Editors: As I had the pleas ure of attending the Fair given in the Masonic Hall, by the Ladies of Milledge- ville for the benefit of our sick and wound ed soldiers, 1 ask the liberty to state. through the columns of your paper that, it was in every respect rich, sublime, beautiful and pleasant. The boquetts, toys, and the many articles of value of every kind, exhibited and surrounded as they Avere, by those whose fair hands had constructed, and arranged them, could not fail to have elicited the admiration of the most casual observer. The entertain ment Avas well calculated to inspire us with more zeal in behalf of the cause thus intended to be benefited, and to arouse the latent love and admiration of the most callous and hard-hearted old bachelor in favor of those lovely and beautiful young ladies by whom it was given. I am satisfied, that from the many articles borne away by gentlemen, that they succeeded in an eminent degree in winning the approbation and applause of all present, and in an especial manner the young men, if I am allowed to judge by the many rich specimens placed upon my table by my honorable colleague. Ladies are always right and in the right place. May those worthy matrons long live to enjoy the fruits of their liberality and kindness, and those beautiful young Ladies marry just Avhen, where, and whom they please. Isiiall not attempt to give a description of the eating department, satisfied as I am, that ample justice Avas done to that subject, at the many and groaning tables prepared for the occasion. My thanks to Mrs. Carnes for those ele gant specimens of Baldwin apples. II. The Mercury of Tuesday says : There are no tidings of special interest from the invaders at Fort Royal. They seem to he strengthening themselves for a permanent occupation oi the islank skirt ing the harbor of Fort Royal, hut have as yet made no advance in force towards the main. Our forces are vigorously at work establishing a line of defences across the low country, so as to confine the operations of the enemy to as narrow a compass as practicable. The headquarters of Genls. Lee and Ripley are at Coosawhatchie. These accomplished officers are now busi ly engaged in locating and building bat teries at various points, so as to protect the railroad communication between Charleston and Savannah. Troops are also rapidly concentrating to support the new batteries, and our military line along the coast is already one of exceeding strength. The Rutledge Mounted Riflemen weiS seal; on Sunday to Beaufort, which is now quite deserted, except by negroes. This fine corps is charged with the preser vation of order in the unfortunate town, and will, besides, perform scouting duty. Large bodies of troops have also been stationed on James’s Island, and new bat teries have been so placed as to sweep the A’arious entrances to the inland passage south of Charleston. We have received, through the courtesy of a passenger, news from Blufton up to half past ten o’clock on Sunday night. At the same time orders had been issued t<- evacuate the town, and the troops were to leave the next (Monday) morning for Har- deeville. The general impression in tlie camp, when our informant left, was that Blutton Avould be burned by us before abandoning it. In the event of the enemy showing himself upon the main, our Genls. are prepared to give him a crushing blow. From the Atlanta Intelligencer. Speculation and Jloncpoly. We learn that Judge Bull, in his charge to the Grand Jury of this county on Mon day last, called their special attention to the odious practice of speculation on, and monopoly ofthe absolute necessaries of life. The charge, ve are told, was a most im pressive one, and will doubtless draw from the Jury such a respouse as tlie condition ofthe country, and tlie sufferings of the poorer classes under the monstrous combi nations that now exist, to rule the prices of provisions, imperatively demands. We had hoped to be favored with it for pub lication, but the time ofthe court has been so occupied, that we have beeu disppointed in receiving it. We have, however, be fore us a similar charge, which Ave find in an exchange and to Avhich Ave call the at tention of our readers. It came from Judge I. L. Harris, of the Ocmulgee Circuit, to the Grand Jury of Wilkinson county, at a recent session of the Superior Court of that county, and is thus reported to the Macon Telegraph, by a correspondent of that paper: In passing, he dealt a heavy' bloAv at those persons who were taking advantage of the necessities of the people and the hardness ofthe times to speculate upon the misfortunes of' their countrymen, by purchasing up all the cloths, provisions and other articles of prime necessity, and lidding on to them until exorbitant prices could be realized. He advised the peo ple to mark the men, who thus impelled by such an avaricious spirit, should so far forget patriotism and duty to country' as to fatten and prey upon the wants of the people in time of war, to remember them in times of peace, and put the brand of public detestation upon all who indulge in these practices. He spoke also of others who were prowling about the country re presenting themselves as agents of the Confederate States for the purchase of supplies, and buying up stocks and then selling them out at enormous profits. These men he justly characterized as cheats and swindlers, and said they should be dealt with by the strong arm of tlie law. ^landing ('ominiltrrii of the Senate.

BROWN, Governor of Georgia. To the Volunteer Military Companies of the Stale; ''■1HE invaders having lauded a force upon the soil 1 of our sister State of South Carolina near the bor ders of Georgia, where they now hold position, and me nace the city of Savannah ; and it being thought ad visable to increase our forces for tlie defence of the coast, I issue this my Proclamation, giving notice that I will accept, in addition to the number of Volunteers already accepted, the services of the thirty infantry companies which wili first tender their services and eport to me fully urmed and ready to march. These ompanies will be received for six monthB, unless sooner discharged. Each company,to be accepted, must consist of not less than fifty nor more than eighty memfien, rank and tile, unless the statute shall, in the meantime, be chang ed so as to permit a greater number to compose a company. Each company must be armed with a good country rifle or double barrelled shot-gun, or with a .jood military gun.Jit for immediate use. As unarmed troops could be of ho service in the defence of the State while they would be a heavy expense, I here state, to prevent all misnpprehcusiou, that auy Volunteer going to the const without such arm as I have mentionea above will not he received, but will be sent home at lis own expense. It will also lie necessary for each volunteer armed with a country rifle, to carry with him his bullet moulds, pouch and powder-horn or flask; and those armed with double barrelled shot-guns, must each take with him a powder-horn or flask. Asonr homesarein danger, it is hoped that no citi zen of tlie State, having a good gun, will hesitate a mo ment to cany or send it into the service.
