-9ALDI.--001111, FRIDAY EVIAIIIO.—The Charles B. Truitt,
which has been lying in our waters for the last five
or six months, sailed with her cargo of rides from
Queenstown yesterday morning for Liverpool. She
was freighted by the Garibaldi committee in New
York, but having arrived here after the war had
terminated, she lay at Queenstown awaiting orders from

Volunteers, General Pennefather, in ' Success to
the volunteer movement." said :—" fhe anything to
do with the defence of England he should look with the
greatest confidence upon the volunteers. He would be glad
to have them under his command to-morrow. War was
no child's play. They had accepted with their indica= a
great responsibility. The day might come—he hoped not in
his lifetime—when it would be necessary to 'bow that
their uniform was not intended for the ball room but for the
battle field. To behave there with effect and
to their own credit they must be trained ; they must be
obedient, for they could not be boys to-day and vo-
teams to-morrow. Before they could be good *ol-
dies, they had a good deal of trouble to go through,
for be assured them that they could not be good volunteers
unless they had been good company soldiers. It was non-
sense to suppose that behind ditches one after another they
could be orninch value ; they must be able to fight in a
mass sad after that they could skirmish. If they put their
to the wheel and obeyed orders, and were well
trained and drilled, they might go to their homes with
'milling fees; knowing that they were prepared for all
