En- Monday last the NJ lila of this county
assembled in their respective beats, pursuant
to general orders, for the purpose of raising
their quota of the 1900 men that have been
ordered to garrison our northern and western
frontier.
With pride and pleasure we state, that ev.
cry company have volunteered their services,
and that no drafts were resorted to in obtains,
ing the number requisite, to march at mo-
ment's warning. --.-7
Too much praise and credit cannot be e;v-;
en- to the company of Nlatross raised in This
village under the command Of Capt. ElI;cot.
On Monday they volunteered and have re-.
celved Intelligence that the British were arm
ing the Indians, and that some shots had
been fred from the Canada side Of the Mia
CARA river over to the American shore, they
furnished themselves with the necessary e.
quipments from rhc arsenal, and marched
Immediately for the protection Of the froh-
tiers on Niagara river. ~
We hope sincerely, that our neighbours
the British willSnot only see the cruelty, but
the inpolicy Of arming the Indians With .
view TO our annoyance, which may be attend
ed with more disastrous consequences ON
their side than their government may at pres
eut foresee.
