 -zon Saturday. evenings she Tolsdsts tsihs,Brass Band paid eur village ! visit and $ diseeursed sweet music'' under the sheen of the brilliant moon. The national flag was hoisted on the spole," and the Star-spangled Banner and other patriotic airs were played by the Band beneath it. They were refreshed by bounteous supper, before leaving, at the Mansion House, provided by John H. Hubbard, Esq, who, upon this oc- casion as upon all others evinced . generosity which is bounded only by his glowing and con- stant patriotism. The "boys" became loudly patriotic during the evening, and at least three times three hundred cheers were given for every body along in the (anything but) stiH '' small hours ayont the twal."
 Hon. G. c. Woodruff leaves home during the coming week to rspresent this district in the extra session of Gonsrass. His immediate pre- dicessor and competitor has accepted ]. comnis- sion to fskt for the Union. We trust MT. Wood ruff will be as ready to aid it with his votes .upon all occasions and under all circumstan- ces." So will he truly represent the almost unanimous feelings and wishes of his constitu- ents of the Republican as well as the Democratic
 party. Party lines are obliterated in this con- test for the Government against the Rebels, and never had Congressman better opportunity to honor and commend himself to every man in his minority of secessionists and traitors, to repre- sent whom would Dc a disgrace to 8 christian gentleman and patriot.
 Because Mir. Woodruff has lately been made . happy Grandfather, he should all the more re- were the Grand old ''Fathers of his country" and stand up for the Union and Posterity!
 TIE LrrcHrIELp HoME GUARD was finally organized on Friday evening of last week with the choice of the following officers: Captain, A. B. Shumway; 1st Lieut.. John W. Buell.; 2d Lieut.. Theodore E. Sedgwick; Orderly Sergeant John E. Sedgwick, Jr. There were about forty members present, who enrolled themselves in the Company. Itis expected that muskets can be procured from the State, and if needed at some future time can be and will be used for the country.

The officers of the regiment are, Colonel Q. $. Ferry, of Norwalk Lieut. Col, Thomas H. 9. Kingsbury, of Franklin Maio,, Geo. D. fChnpman of this city.

 The. appointment of Tlon. 0. s. Ferry to the command of the Fifth gives very great satis- to his many friends.

 A DESPATCH from Hagerstown gives important information relative to the condition of affairs at Harpers Ferry. Col. Stone's advance, it seems, had pot reached the Ferry Sunday morning. The last of the Confederate scouts were seen on Thursday, on which day there was skirmish be- tween party of them and the Sharpsburgh Home Guard, in which two or three of the former were killed. h is stated at the Ferry that there is a body of fifteen hundred or two thousand rebels about three miles below, on the Winchester Road, but they do not show themselves. The rebel piekets have disappeared from opposite Williams port, also, but they are known to be concealed about two miles further hack, and it is generally believed at Wlliiamspert that Gen. Johnston him self, with four regiments, is only about seven miles from that place. No movements of Federal troops in Western Maryland are reported.

The Rows will Volunteer.

Companies of volunteers are coming into
town nearly every day. Citizens who are for
peace and abiding by the decision OF the will
of the majority, are expressing themselves in
plain terms in reference to the netarious
plots of the ambitious leaders of the Greene
Vile Convention and are more than willing
to volunteer aud meet LincOln's thievish and
mercenary forces, if they should attempt to
polute the soil of East Tennessee with their
unholy feet
Gen. Caswell and Col. Churchwell have
now command of more than three thousand
troops which will in few days be increased
to five thousand. These troops are for the
protection of Tennesseans of all parties
against any mercenaries Lincoln, through
Andy johnson, might attempt to send here
of which we have little or no fear, now thai
their plans have been discovered.
Two-thirds of the men who voted the
Union ticket will come forward if necessary
to repel any invasion OF this country, for i
we are not mistaken, it is only some ambi
tious leaders who have deceived their follow
ers into the mad scheme of separation o.

TO We do not remember ever to have
enjoyed warmer spell of weather than
we had last week. The SHADY side of the
street was place of fashionable resort, and
the quantity of ice and iced beverages de-
stroyed by a melting populace is said to have
been terrific. A great many of our citizens,
however, ignored these things and called in
at the office of W. J. MARI, Insurance Agent
