alt is dark when the honest and honorable

away by the grasp Of flnavsh, hcarLless adversely.
It ie dark when he feels the clouds of sorrow
gather around, and knows that the hopes and
happiness of others are fading with his own.

will be true consolation, and assure him, even

TuE VoLuNrGEHs.--Gcn. Kibbc, in his report
to Gov. Weller, pays the following mark of re-
spcct TO the men composing that expedition:
" Let me assure you that the success Of this
campaign attaches and belongs to those self sac
rifcing mon, who left their occupation and vol
unteered, in this emergency, (as they will do on
every fit occason,) their patriotic services, re
gardless Of pecuniary sacrifices, or personal
exposure or hardships, To these patriotic citzcnS
belong the credit for the great success which the
expedition has met with; these men who, one and
all, were ready at all times and under all cir
cumstanecs. to face any danger. encounter any
hardships, buffet any storms, and submit to any
exposure which the success of the expedition
seemed to require, with checrfulness, aud rs n
matter of chosen duty. To these noble men, |
say, the people of this State owe a debt Of graf
itudc, which they can scarcely repay--men, too,
who resided generally without the infested dis
trict-who rallied, not to protect their immediate
ncighhors, but to respond to n call from the
