BS~ Our people are taking things in their Own hands
They have to do SO. The people of New Hanover
County have companies in many Of the State regiments
and volunteer regiments in Virginia, they have them at

their means HboraIy-tbey must do SO again.
The men Of the East must depend solely upon them
selves while contributing far than the quota to
the general defence.
Col. Fremont and General Gatlin must be sustained
by the people They now operating here on means
derived from tie Safety Committee not from Raleigh,
to which however we must pay taxes.
Thank God the Military Board is gone. Let Gov

COMMANDER BOUTWELL, U. S. n, reached this city
Monday, uncer arrest from Knoxville 1t will be
recoleced that this mans avowa here some two weeks
since was announced in the papers at the time. His
movements seem to have excited the suspicion of the
authorities and caused him to be watched.
He went from here 20 Norfolk, where, we believe he
claims to have property and at the time of bis arrest
was making his way back to the United States via
Knoxville.
Commander Boutwell, is citizen OF Washington, D.
c., where he has resided since his suspession on half
pay by President Buchanan, some two years ago. The
President suspended him from the navy for having
without leave, brought his vessel home from West

OF pubic opinion. OlllAEN'
Stowe. April 29th, 1861.
For the Newsdealer.
Mr.. EDITOR Allow me, through your
columns, to give your readers an account
of the way Cambridge responded to the
call of the President of the United States,
for troops to defend the National flag
and our common country. News ar
irving every day, of danger to our Union,
the younger portion of our community
showed their patriotic spirit on the even
ing of April %, by forming a company
and marching through the streets, and
firing guns until nearly midnight. This
aroused the older ones, and they immedi-
ately made arrangements to hold a meet
ing on the next Thursday evening. An
invitation was therefore extended to the
"Green Mountain Rihemen," Of Fletcher,
to meet with them on that afternoon and
evening.
Thursday afternoon was ushered in by
the firing of guns until the Company from
Fletcher arrived, which was about four
o'clock. Captain Strait of the sc. M. R."
had sent on Mr.. Joshua Sawyer of your
place, who is acting in the capacity of a
Recruiting officer, and by the time the
company arrived, he had some thirty
enlisted to join that company and fill up
it's ranks. Immediately on the arrival of
the &c. M. R." Capt. Strait formed them
in front of the Hotel, and received the new
volunteers, under command of recruiting
officer Sawyer. They then went through
with a series of military evolutions until
supper wa announced, when they ad-
%journed to the Hotel to partake of an ex-
~cellent supper, prepared by Mr.. M. G.
Wells, which by the way, was paid for by
our citizens. After tea they again formed
in procession in front of the Hotel, the
ladies joining in, and marched to the
Congregational church. Mr.. W. H. Law
was chosen chairman, H. N. Marcy, HI.
j.. Stowell, Secretaries.
Mr.. Law called the meeting to order, and
in a few remarks stated it's object; after
which he called on the Rev. Mr.. Lamphiei
to lead in prayer. The chairman then, in
a few remarks in behalf of the citizens
welcomed the "Green Mountain Riaemen,'
and after singing by the choir, and music
: by the martial band, the following reso
| luton was presented:
Resolved, That the citizens of Cam
| bridge and vicinity, pledge to the genera
Government, their property, their lives
and their sacred honor in support Of tn,
c Constitution of the United States.
5 The resolution was then ably discussed
by Messrs. Wood, Wheeler. Stowell, Gates
Holmes, Marcy, and others after which
I it was unanimously adopted. The Rev
Mr.. Wheelock then pronounced farewell
7 to Capt. Strait and his company /; afte
: which an opportunity was presented b.
' Capt. Strait for volunteers, and hereceivet
. some 20 names. During the meeting tn
5 ladies made their patriotism manifest b.
waving their handkerchiefs, when tber
was any cheering to be done. Mr.. H. N
Marcy circulated a subscription paper
: and received nearly 500 that evening
s 1t being 10y nearly 10 o'clock, the meet
0 ing adjourned.
