VoLuSrEERING-The Georgia papers inform us that
several companies of the twelve-months volunteers
lately called for by the President have already been
gained in that State.
The regiment called for from Ohio--Tom Corwin's
State--is already full Five OF the companies were
raised in Cincinnati alone As fair sample of the
usiasm prevailing throughout the State, notice that
Ebenezer Warner mayor OF the city of Sandusky, has
enrolled his among the volunteers organizing in
that city.
We hear of no efforts being made to raise the number
of volunteers called for from this State We hope Ala
bama will not be backward in responding to this appeal
to her patriotism. Mobile Register, May 3lst.

unhappy Isle can be wrought here,
yet the course Of events tend toward
.lbe same result.
The following paragraph from the
Philadelphia Ledger should at least
make our people Mink upon the sub
jcct:
But the great curse Of ireland,
and indeed Of England and cotland,
now unknown IN France and Belgi-
nm, is the accumulation Of the land
in the hands of few lords, and its
cultivation by tenants who are star
we'd to pay rents. By the revolution
of 1883, all the estate Of the French
nobility and clergy, in other words,
all the land in the kingdom, were
Coniscatcd and sold in small farms !;
and by the laws ofdistribution which
have prevailed in that country ever
since, an estate, on the decease Of
the owner, is equally divided among
/ his children or other heirs The
same system has been adopted In
Belgium, and as a consequence in
each country, landed estates are
small, and every man owns the land
that he cultiyatcs. But in Ireland
not a spade or plough is ever put
into a foot of soil by its owner, not
an acre is cultivated, excepting by
a poor tenant who pays an enormous
rent, which is divided among three
or four intermediate agents and the
landlord, the latter continually abb
sent, and spending the rents thus
cxtorted from the ragged cultivator,
at foreign gaming tables, andin dis
sipations OF foreign watering places.
The contrast between France or
Belgium, and Ireland, ought to speak
in tones Of thunder to every state
of the Union, upou the tcnurcs Of
land, and against its accumulation
in large estate"

That the course Of true love nov
or did run smooth, hes been progcd
by a circumstance with which we
were made acquainted a few days
since. To! some time past widow
lady has resided in the upper part
Of our city, whose quiet and retired
manners led her to avoid society al
most altogether. She was only known
to her ntighbors, and by them but
slightly. She had DO children, was
scarcely thirty in appearance, and
was remarkably good looking, with
a face Of the mournful cast, which
novclsts so often choose for their
hcroineS, and which lends such a
charm to features of the pcnsive
order 1t was known of her that
she had been married TO a man
much older than herself, who had
died and left her in comfortable cir
cumStances. About two weeks since
the Iawrcnceyille omnibus drove
up to the door, and she stepped into
the vehicle, in order to visit that
village. There was but ono other
passenger a gentleman of about the
same age with herself.
4 few minutes after the omnibus
started, the gentleman made re-
mark which attracted the attention
Of the lady, aud throwing back her
veil to answer, enabled the siran-
ger to catch a glimpse Of her lra-
lures. An ciacniation Of surprise
escaped him, and scrcaa from the
lady proved that she also was star
tied in no slight degree. MARY !,
Charles - and in moment scene
rarely Witnessed off the stage was
performed in the omnibus The
two people who had entered the car
riagc as strangers, were in each 9TH
er'S arms, the lady in tears, the gem
tlcman exhibiting by ms voice and
carcsses, the extreme Of Joy.
In two days from that time the Ia
dy was no longer widow, nor the
stranger bachelor.
The secret Of the sudden charge
is thus explained. Some twelve
years ago, the two persons whose
names we have given as "Mary and
Charles" resided in a little town of
Western Pennsylvania. The for
mer was the belle oftbc village, and
the latter, some two or three years
her scinor, was her lover. The
match was perfectly satisfactory to
the friends of both parties, the young
man bearing an excellent charac-
ter. Before the time fixed for their
marrige, however, misfortune came.
