6. s<s s"aKeowee Volunteer"
This company, composed principally Of young,
able bodied mon, held meeting in the Court
!. House on last Saturday, as will be seen by ref:
erence to resolutions in another column, Their
object is to form Regiment for tho purpose of
going to Virginia. Whilo they are willing to
go wherever their country calls, yot, for many
rehsohs. they prefer Virginia rs their destna-
tion.| Ihey feel that at this season of the year;
or rather during the summer, they would be
liable to.diseaso if quartcrcd further South and
it would be better for those who have become
acclimated, TO remain, or so many Of them as
will bo necessary, and let others go North
There will probably bo no fighting South of
Virginia and Maryland, Of any consequence,
before next fall, if eyer. The "Keowee Volun-
teers !" desire to go whero tho work is to be
done, and where they can most effectually servo
their country.
.We believe tho companies are al full and
complete that will be necessary to form tho Reg.
imept, As aoon as orders are received for the
election of officers and they have SOLICITED such
men as they are willing to be led and controlled
by. and not be subjected to tho rulo of those who
are strangers, they will be ready and willing to
entor tho field. Wo hope there will be no op-
position to this move.
1 Patriotism.
Wo have been requested to make the subioined
statement; *. -
The Z" Silver Greys," a company organized at
Wolf Creek, and composed chiefly of our fellow
duty, was, on the Goth ult, disbandod by mutu-
alSconsedt. It is the object Of those gentlemen
now to form and 0 'ganizo companies at each
Battalion Muster Grounds and for this purpose
they have constituted tho following committees
to attend to- tho organization of these companies:
Tho following gentlemen will compose the
committee at Piokcnsvllo: Rev. John Ariail,
Jacob Pickle, l.. GSIIamilton.
The committee at IIagood's: Wm. Hunter,
Esq, e. II. Griffin, Thomas billiard.
These gontemon will meet at each Muster
Ground on tho I'd Saturday in May, inst, and
organize All who desiToto join the companies
are requested to attend.
Our follow. oitizens nro all aglow with patri-
otto fire, and We feel assured that they will
promptly respond to The CALI.
TIE BALTIMORE ExcIrEMENr, Not only
are the people of Baltimore thoroughly
aroused, ard resolved to resist the passage Of
the Federal armies through that State, but
the citizens Of tho Counties are marching in
their aid. And II more gallant people than
the Marylanders live not, if the records Of
the revolution are any indication of their pre-.
sent spirit. The old Maryland line in the
North and in tho South, won imperishable
fame for Themselves and their Commonwealth.
We believe that tho sons will not discrcdt
their sircs-as Lincoln's emmissarics have
found to their cost.
i. But we feel very keonly for the gallant Ma
ry]anders. The whole brInt of the fight is
procipitated upon them, and finds them not
only unsupported, but comparatively uharm-
fici6ncy the best they could. They have not
ries, stores, &c., and guns, pistols, bowie
knives, axes, pitoh.forks, clubs, g., were seis-
ed, Many articles were given by hardware
merchants. Winans put his factory to work
tomoke pikes,of which 1000 wore ordered
We should not like to hava tho job Of subdu-
\ ing such q people
But the ,MarylaDders must not bo loft with
ont instant and efficient aid. We must not
allow them to be crushed by the powerful ar.
taywhich Is coming, upon Their, We must
rush to their aid. We must send them men
afld.arnis, md we must do II at oncc. ulori.
