and crossed the Ohio on Saturday, and pro-
ceeded directly to Vinccnnes, to receive
their orders from Gov. Harrison.
The enthusiasm and zeal manifested by
this patriotic band of soldiers affords a
proud example of the spirit of freemen.-
The company is composed OF stout active
men, well armed with rifles, &c. and should
they be brought into action, we have no
doubt that, under the command of their
brave and experienced officers, they will
acquit themselves with honor, and render
eminent service to their country.
