Military Comnanv.

Our streets are again enlivened with the
shriIl shrek Of the ffe, and the spirit stirring
tap of the drum. An effort is again making
to organize company for the war, in our
borough, and we think it will prove success
ful. On Monday last, Capt. George y. kel-
Ter arrived in town, and in very short time
had squad enlisted and parading our streets
The Captain is well known in this commu'
nifty as military officer of more than ordi.
nary ability and of large experience, and We
can safely assure all who enlist under him
that he will prove commander who dares tc
lead wherever COED and true men dare to
follow. Turn out young men and show your
selves worthy of your country, by enrolling
your names OH the list of her brave defenders

Military Meeting.

A meeting of our citizens was held iu
the Court House on Tuesday evening
last for the purpose of taking measures
to secure the formation of a Military
Company, to represent Monroe County
in the embatted host now srrayed in de
fense of the Constitution and Laws OF our
beloved country. The meeting was or
ganized BY the appointment of JOHN De
YoUNe, Esq, President; PETER SHAW,
of Hamilton, and PETER WILLIAMS. Of
Stroudsburg, Vice Presidents; and THEo-
DoRE SCHocH, Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been
stated by the President, coz mittee,
consisting of the following named gentle
men, viz: John N. Stokes, Henry Shoe
aker, G.. Auracher, Samuel Melick,
Melchoir Bossard, was appointed to soil
cit su subscriptions, and to make the neces-
ssry arrangements for the support of the
Volunteers while preparing to march to
the rendezvous assigned the m by the Gov
ernor.
The following named gentlemen, viz !:
John DeY oung, Samuel S. Drebcr, Peter
Williams, Henry c. Wolfe and Theodore
Scboch were appointed to make arrange
meuts for the support of the families Of
the Volunteers while absent in the ser
vice of the country.
Speeches we're made b. the President
aud By S. S. Dreher and John Nyce.
E,qs., and by Capt. George B. Keller
The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and ev
erytbing susered the speedy formation
and equipment of company.
We append the substance of Capt. Kel
ler's neat and patriotic speech. On be-
ing called upon be arose and said: -
Mr.. President, Friends and Comrades.
am here TO night to join my fellow VOL
unteers. | came TO act, and not to speak,
As | am not accustomed to making speeches
hope you will excuse the errors may ma Ike
in this attempt.
| am here ready TO fight for the stars and
stripes, and our glorious Union, now and for
ever. hope you will not Judge me by the
acts of any one else, Who among you, that
has the heart of a man, would be coward
now. The old flag tells you-"I have pro-
tected you in time of peace" Fhe same
flag calls upon every patriot to defend and
protect it now in the hour of peril. The trail
tors have torn down the stars and stripes al
Fort Sumter; but we stand united today,
Democrats and Republicans, Wings and A
mericaus, to place the same old flag on Sum-
ter again, and over our entire Union The
prayers of Washington, and the suferings OF
our ancestors at Valley Forge. speak aloud
with bloody and trembling limbs-"We gave
you this flag, protect and defend it" To
this Union am devoted and shall draw my
sword in an eternal warfare against those
who, with vindictiye spleen induced by pre-
tended wrongs, would destroy the best gov
ernment in the world.

A volunteer Company from Monroe.

Captain GEO. d. KELLER, is now en-
deavoring to raise a Volunteer Compa-
ny in this County, xith very favorable
prospect of success, If the requisite
number is procured it will be a sure
thing, as the Captain took the very pe-
cessary and wise precaution of having
the Company accepted by the GOv'rnor
before attempting to Organize it, A nee
ting was held in the Court House, on
Tuesday evening, for the purpose OF aid
ing this patriotic and laudible enterprise
The best of feeling prevailed and success
seems very certain. Committees we're
appointed to procure funds for the sup
port Of the Volunteers while organizing,
and also to take the necessary steps to-
wards supporting the families of Voluu.
teers while in service. The military mee
ting held last night iu the Court House.
greatly added to the prospect of speedily
organizing a Company. a meeting Of
the same kind and for the same purpose
will be held at Kresgeville tonight. The
org gaDizipg Of the Company mag now be
set down as almost fixed fact, and those
wishing to enlist to fight tho battles of our
country, under an efficient officer, should
do so without delay. We understand the
Governor has given the Captain until the
4th of June to organize his Company bat
it nov appears that this length Of
time will hardly be required. We think
every patriots heart must swell with graf,
itude to those who have enlisted. and re-
joice at the prospect that Monroe county
is to be represented in the PATRIOTS cause
of saving our country from anarchy and
ruin.
We understand that the Lcgisla-
ture, at its late session, passed an act
authorizing the County Commissioner
to defray, by military tax, the ex-
penses of the support Of the families OF
such volunteers as are not able to supper,
them. The volunteers will represent the
interest of every tax payer in the county
alike. and it therefore seems to US that
this is just the way to meet such expenses

tains single tex payer, but what would

DRILL! DRILL!

Our volunteers should not regard the
time as lost because they are not instant
ly ordered to the frontier. Regular
troops proverbially fight better than raw
recruits. Wbyi Not because they are
braver, but only because they are better
disciplined. Constant and protracted
drilling has given them confidence in one
another, has taught them self reliance
and has tested the capacity of their off
GERS. Hundreds of really brave young
men, now filling our regiments, would
show timidity and might make fatal mis-
takes, or even break ranks aud run, il
suddeDly preeipitated into a severe en-
gagement Whyl Not because each in
disidual does net know that he is as brave
as lion, but he has had no chance to
test the qualities of his companions in the
ranks and the officers in command
These can only be aseertained by long
and severe drilling. Boys! every one OF
you will be worth twice as much 10 fight
next Fall as you would now. Therefore,
wherever you are, drill! drii! When
you have combined the discipline of the
regular with the enthusiasm of the yolnn-
teer, you will be invinciblo.

true account OF the occurrence, as nearly

The Minister referred to, is not the

The Delepate system.

The meeting held in the Court House last
Monday evening, among their resolutions
passed one 10 favor cf resiving the old plan
of nominating in Convention all the County
officers. This is the system that the Democ.
racy knocked in the head few years ago
and inasmuch as the Volunteer system baf
knocked some of these persons IN the head
we presume they have came to the eonclu-
sion to bulance the account by knocking il
into a cooked hat. These disinterested pa
triots pretend that the Volunteer plan is toe
corrupt for them, but any one who knows
anything about the nominating system,
knows that il is more than five times as cor
rupt as the other.
