DEPARTURE OF THE V0LUN-
TIERS

We have been favored with the perusal Of
a letter from one Of the most worthy young
men belonging TO the Volunteers from this
County. Ii is decidedly one OF the best writ
ten and most satisfactory letters that we have
seen from Capt. ALBuETIs' Company since
they left Martinsburg There is good deal
ofsickness among the Volunteers-sevend deaths
have occurred among them. The Jefferson
Company have lost three Of their men, the
Portsmouth Company two, and the Montgonl-
cry two. Six of Capt ALBuRrrs' Company
have been discharged on account of sickness,
and inability to travel on account Of it-JAcoB
SHANKs, Of Morgan County, SOCRATES Pa.
Their, of Hampshire, BENJAMIN BLoNpEL, Of
Berkeley, OHIO KIsNGER, Of Berkeley, and
two young men from Philadelphia. The JEFF
ferson, Berkeley and Petersburg Companies
were all on board the Bark Exact, and were
TO sail on Friday morning last, the 10Th inst.
There were still three Companies al Fortress
Monroe, but as Transports had arrived for
them, they are probably off before this time.

stages ofits delivery, but especially at the con-
clusion of his Address. The Company dined
at Capt BoAK's Hotel, where, as we learn
every thing was prepared for them in first
rate style.
