by Mattie and she performs her j*art so
•handsomely tJiat.all ar. inspired ‘with enthusi
asm by her patriotic eloquence. The beautiful
banner was received witlfapplause by the Com
pany, and acknowledgements duly j-cturnod.
A large concourse of citizens, including a large
•number of ladies, were present tj witness *th<?
proceedings, and perhaps tlie Auc’Ha Guards
. never appearef to better advantage or before
felt the full weight of their .responsibility.—
So ma.gy people, friends and’relatives—huani-
“festmg so deep an interest ip their welfare and
