Lebeaume, Of this company, by his friends on
Wednesday evening
capt Fischer's company has nearly completed
the necessary arrangements for active service, and
intend departing by land for the place Of rendezvous
His corps will parade tomorrow
Capt Edmonsons troop are furnishing them
selves with horses, and contemplate being in read-
ness for departure about the first Of next week.
The artillery companies are not as successful in
their preparations as the former mentioned corps,
owing to an opinion, suppose, that it is a very
heavy service. Foot artillery would be liable to
this objection, but horse companies entirely
different affar-as rapid in their movements dra-
goons and where there is any encounter with foe,
always occupying the post Of danger, and conse-
quently of honor. We notice that Capt. Rennick is
raising artillery company, and are pleased to OBJ
serve that it is rapidly filling up. He bears the
reputation Of being an accomplished tactician, and
will no doubt soon report a company ready for ser
with its preparations, and will, with Capt Rem
nicks, form the battalion called for from this coun-
ty."
