The News AND THE VoLuSrEERs---The
news last night had the most exciting effect on
the several volunteer corps forming in this city
for Texas, those in Howard's woods, the Ches-
apeake Rifiemen, and the Maryland Rifiemen,
exhibiting an enthusiasm unbounded at the
glorious intelligence.
The latter company pitched their tents, about
noon to-day, out Madison street, in well se-
lected spot adjoining the beautiful residence Of
G. C. Tiffany, esq. Sixty names had been
enrolled.
The Chesapeake and Rihemsn have nearly
made up their compliment.
Capt Stuart's command still continues to
enroll, although the number is over 100.

TEMPERANCE.

Why pledge ourselves to temperance Be
cause we consider its opposite as being, in our
day, the principal barrier to the happiness and
prosperity ofour community. Neither church
or State can enjoy success while men " take
an enemy into their mouths to steal away
their brains" The manufacture, sale, and
use Of intoxicating drinks as beverage. is di-
recty opposed to the promotion of virtue. The
Bible, common sense, and all experience show
his plainly.

The MENAoERiE.--Fifty years ago, when
the first lion ever imported into the United
States, was brought into the port of New
York. it created an immense excitement. 1t
was imported by the ceptain Of a French brig,
who brought him rather as a pet or plaything,
than for the purpose Of exhibiting him. His
lonship, as he grew older. became trouble
some, and the captain sold him to a man named
Gold. who kept him for "show," and the
charge for sight was one dollar. q This
charge was thought "dog cheap" and people
came from all partson purpose to say they had
