THE FRANKLIN FIRE CoMPASY.-This old and efficient
company yesterday vacated their quarters in
the old engnehous opposite the Union office preparatory
to its removal for the improvement of the square. The
members were busy engaged in removing the apparatus
which they used efficiently in past days. and the tokens
of esteem and remembrance presented to them by their
friends We hope that the building which they intend
shortly to erect may give to them general satisfaction
as that which they have been compelled to vacate with
much regret.

Volunteer (Omnap,-cs,

There is certain degree ofprcjudice exist
ingin few old fogy minds against the forma-
ton or encouragement of volunteer companies;
this is is to be expected. There will always Ec
in every community number of men incapable
ofifting their eyes above the petty details ofey-
cry day life, and who cxclam 'fine times! real
ly!'' or pretty gongs on indcedl' at evel ything
out Of their line of likes or diskes. Such men
oppose volunteer companies on the ground that
they take valuable time from business that they
set young mems heads runnig on soldering, or
that they get young men together-which lat
ter In their opinion isa crime of itself, being
conducive of all manner Of mischief
The fact is that, as general rule, an orderly
well conducted military company is one ofthe
most creditable institutions in the country. -
There is no reason why men, young or old
should not get together, since sociability and e.
quality is thus promoted and men taught to
find out what they are, They are beneficial in
keeping awake manly, soldierly spirit, with
out which we would become cowa1dly and
SOAi lutioAi; tIIcy uIG.
beneficial as a means of exercise, the drill and
parade being far more conducive to health and
strength than is generally imagined During
the late war panic, when every one was ner-
vonsly mquiringywhat shall we do in case of
war with England?' it was plainly shown that
in case an enemy should land an army of fifty
or sixty thousand, we could readily oppose
them by means ofour railroads, ten times the
amont of men, The only question would be,
could these men fghtT' If they were all, as
mass, a mere raw, undisciplincd multitude,
unfamiliar with the use ofwar orweapons. It is
evident that even bravery would aid them but
little But if ever so little practced in arms, it
is evident that they would have the advantage.
And here the argument in favor Of volunteer
companies comes in with peculiar force. They
introduce, in fact, and keep alive spirit essen
tial not only to the moral strength of the people
but to its defence. Success to our American
volunteer companies. So mote it be-PMl.
