Captain M.Guire's company of Vo-
lunteers from this place, consisting OF
sixty men, embarked yesterday forenoon
for Fort Washington, about eight miles
below the town, where they are to wait
further ordsrs. Every mark of respect
and interest was shewn Capt. NJ. and
his company, by their fsllow-citizens.
Atan early hour they were met at Mar
ket-Square by capt. Mandeville's Troop
of Horse, (dismounted,) capt. Marstel-
ler's company of Artil!erists, capt. Nc
Allister's company of Light Infantry,
capt. M'Knigh.'s company of Indepen-
dent Blues, and the Rife Company un-
der the command of lieut.. Field. After
having spent short time in the Muse
um Hall, into which, as mark of res
pect they were invited by the Manager
on behalf OF the Alexandria Washington
Lodge, they proceeded to the place Of EN-.
barkation escorted by the several com
panies. Having reached the appointed
place, they took an interesting leave of
their families and friends, and weighed
anchor amidst the cheers of large con-
course of spectators, and the repeated
discharge of small arms and artillery
Whatever may be our sentiments as to
the expcdiency of the war, in support of
which these our citizens have vo-
lunteered their services, we feel lively
interest in its termination, and in the
success of those who, viewing it in diff
fercnt light from ourselves, have en-
barked their all in what they believe to
be war of necessity.
The inhabitants of the frontier
towns in Vermont (says Aeene n Fl.

between Derby and Swanton, absut
