Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1846-11-26

We call the attention ofthe people Of Berke
ley County to the Proclamation Of Governor
SMrTH, for the organization Of a Regiment Of
Infantry E'for immediate service, and to be con
tinued therein during the war with Mexico,
unless sooner discharged" The details Of TIE
organization 0! companies and the Regiment
viii be found under the Adjutant Generals
Orders. The place Of rendezvous for the Viz
ginia Regiment, is GUYANDoTrE on the Ohio
River
We have no doubt that this call upon the
gallanuy and patriotism Of Virginia will be
promptly answered, and already we see offers
going up to the Governor from the different
sections Of the State. We rejoice that Berke-
ley is making an effort TO join the gallant band,
and we will not suffer ourselves to doubt for
single moment, that enough Of her brave and
hardy sons will be found atonce to fill up com
pany and report themselves ready. As soon
as the requisiton upon Virginia was known,
our contemporary, the Editor Of the Republican,
Capt. EPHRAm G. ALBuRTIs, made applicfl-
ton IL the Governor for the acceptance Of the
services Of his Company, the "INpEPEYDEET
BLUES" We have seen the reply Of the Coy
ernor to Capt. A. and be has ordered the Blues
10 fill up their ranks and report themselves to
the Government Several gallant yonng men
have already volunteered and we hear Of
several more who intend doing so. But in
case a sufficient number cannot be obtained in
Berkeley 10 form Company, other Counties
no doubt will JOIN her. What says gallant
little Morgan--nre there not many there who
will join with their neighbors OF Berkeley, and
60 heart and soul to the field of battle in the
prosecution Of the existing war between their
own Country and foreign foe? There will
be no delay in this movement; as soon as the
Regiment is formed it viii be concentrated at
the rendezvous at Guyandote-and as soon
as possible, thereafter, moved on TO join the
standard Of the gallant TAYLOR, whose honor
ed name and heroic deeds are now the themes
Of every tongue throughout the length and
and breadth Of the land. We know tina, there
is no section Of Virginia more famed for the va
lor and patriotism Of her sons, than the Valley
the history Of the Revolution and Of the last
war bear ample testimony to their patriotic de
votion-let it not be said now, that she is found
wanting when our Eastern and Trans Alega-
ny friends are rushing to the standard of their
Country. Let it not be said that the Tenth
Congressional District is without a company
We shall not attempt to set forth the many
advantages which the Volunteer may gain by
going to Mexico; ii is enough that the emer-
gency OF our common Country demands the
services Of her sons, and those who can con
yeniently leave home, will not, we are sure,
need a more powerful and poten, reason, than
patriotic devotion TO their Country.
We direct attention TO the call for Meeting
of the People o. Berkeley, al the Cour;-H House,
on Friday evening next, the 9th inst. Let
the Meeting be fully attended, and especially
let all who feel disposed TO respond to the call
come forward at once, and without delay, as
there is no time to be lost.
