MILITARY AID 'PRoFFRRKD FROM THE NoRrH
We understand that the Seventh Regiment, of
New York. which a few months since visited
Richmond, where they were 20 handsomely en-.
tertained, recently rendered their services to Gov
Wise in dealing with any John Brown invaders,
but Gov. Wise respectfully declined their gener-

however, in return for the bountiful hospitality
extended 10 them while in Richmond, forwarded
to the military stationed at Charlestown cho.c.

might be reasonably expectsd, were cheerfaliy
accepted The pstriotism and right feeling Of
this Regiment has won fos them great esteem in
Virginia. - r 4 : l,.s.s -.s.E a-,--s !
