By ore of our business men, from

Of The 69,h New York Regiment

Joined the Confederate forces in Vir-
GINA. The G9lh is an old establish
ed Regiment, and has enjoyed con-
siderable reputation for drilling
We would not be surprised if We
have the entire Regiment ere long.
The Irish are a generous hearted
noble, patriotic, libsrty-lovipg people,
and their course 10 10 pleasing con-
trast with tbs! OF the Dutch. There
is scarcely a Northern State but has
lis one or more German regiments,
who are the meet bsastly Of the sb.
clifton selsiers. Cairo is filed with
Dutch soldiers, and they ere the
mos. filthy known to the service. =
81. Louis is under Dutch rule, and il
is the usrst black republican city in
the Union. On the contrary, the
Irish have always held themselves
above the Negro, and always refused
to smalgamate.

HON. G. P. VOORHEES,.

We have been for the last two years a
close observer Of that gentleman's course
in the Legislature, and we can truly say
that a more popular, a more energetic
and better member than him was not
to be found among his compeers, within
the shemicycle Of the Representatives
Hall. In address, department and tact
) of business, our honorable friend had few
equals. True to his friends, grateful to
sthe parish he represented, all his labors
I~ere turned to do good and to reflect
Ehonor upon the people who elevated him
IIto.a high position; and i is for.us. now,
ITO return the compliment he 50 richly de-
j sseryes. These times. are critical:but glo-
Eious. The South, threatened by the
bboweiful armaments of the Northern des-
epot, rises in grandeur and in heroism III
spresence Of imminent danger. Her sons
Fare eager for the fight, and, all over The
ecountry, the hammer and the furnace
Ebeats and melts the metal that will arm
Etheir hands. Already, immortal laurels
Ecrown the brows Of our soldiers and: we
I want, at this great epock Of our history,
J our deliberative assemblies to be filled
eup with the purest patriots Of the land.
Born of old democratic stock, Hon
sG, T. VOORHEES, is the man for the times
He has always been with the people and
|, for the people. He knows their wants,
!. the extent of their rights, and the way
.,o vindicate them. In him, il elected
we will have. "a strong representative In
