W On Monday last, the two companies
Of volunteers belonging to the 9th Pvnnsyl-
vania Regiment, commanded by Col. Nagle,
and who had been stationed at Elkton for
upwards Of two weeks, and II third company
otthc same Regiment stationed at Chesapeake
City, were removed to Perryvillc, and their
places snppli"d:by detachmcnts from the II tn
Pennsylvania Regiment, Col. Jarrett. Com
panies II. and l., Captains Mcclure and Terry
are stationed at Elkton, ana company G.
Capt. Bowman, were sent down to Chcs apeakc
City to guard the canal,
The present companies of; volunteers are
the finest looking set Of men we have had
stationed here, and are uniformed more
neatly than former companies have been.
The following card from the Officers Of Col.
Nagle's Regiment has been handed to us for
publication:
" The members CT companies D. and G..
9th Regiment Penn>y vania Volunteers, return
their sincere thanks To the family of Nicholas
Hiss, ESD, for the kindness and LerAit Y
shown to the guards stationed near their
residence, and also to the many friends in
Elkton who have conferred iayvrs upon the
above companies"
We will add, in justce-t both officers and
men, that by their gentlemanly department,
while stationed among us. they won golden
opinions from our citizens. Very many OF
the volunteers were regular attendants OF
church, and are spoken Of by our most
respectable citizens in terms Of the highest
commentator.

PATRIOTIC WoMEN.-We hear reports
of the strong secession proclivi,ics of many
of the ladies of Elkton, but trust they are
unioundcd. We have too exalted an opinion
OF their intelligence and patriotism to doubt
their loyalty, and we know large majority of
the ladies in the county are on the side of
their country. One of them in private let
ter received this week, says
"Col. Ellsworth has fallcn-so Young. vet
SO brave! On the page of his country's his
tory MS name shall be recorded ide those
VI o'ner heroes who have fought and died in
Freedoms cause. My heart aches when |
think SO many Of our true hearted men will
perish Willie crushing this rebellion. Yet it
must be SO. Our Union must be preserved,
th"ngh every fireside, from the Lakes to the
waters OF the Ohio and Potomac, shal be left
deSolate' though from every northern home
shall arise the wall OF widows and orphans.
On that Secessonists wonld awake from
their dream Of madness. and return for pro-
lection to our Government, which has ever
granted equal rights to all States, North and
South.'
Another one-her parents arc strict dis
cipes of William Penn, and she is herself
believer in bis peaceful doctrines writes us,
in private letter, also:
Know ofno sacrifice, at this moment OF
personal feeling that am not willing to make
for my country. The horrors of civil war
have, time and again, been pictured to us;
but mhch more do dread u peace purchased
at price that would weaken and humble the
American people. 1t is not for to-day only
we are acting, but for the future ALSO there
fore let not the generations to come shed
their blood to save ours"
1t is refreshing to lind these evidences of
the spirit OF the women of '76 still lingering
in our midst, and whilst such words Of
encouragement come to us from our fair cor
respondents, we will continue to cherish the
belief that no true hearted woman in Cecil is

THE IRISH SPECTACLE OF "O'DoSoGHUE, "
AT THE On BowERY THEATRE.-Since the
latter part Of October, Mr. Stichney's equestrian
corps, gifted and versatile, have met with
marked success, and the absence of all abuses
has won the patronage of respsctability. No
man row need fear to take his lady, wife or
daughters there, and we predict that the coming
holidays will confer no larger share of festive
patronage on any shrine Of sport in New York
than the Bowery will enjoy, and enjoy Justly.
Tho brilliant show piece of O,Donogkue is
founded on q popular Iiish legend, the scene Of
