 town meeting is called for this afternoon (Thursday) to take measures to raise tax for the equipment and support of such volunteers as may enter the company formed from this town with Torrington and Plymouth. It is expected that at least $5, 1000 will be authorized by the voters to be used, or 50 much of that, sum 4. may be necessary,f for clothing and equipments. Such sum is called for, and we doubt not vii, be cheerfully granted. Our people, with one or two black exceptions, are for the UNION. and and those who are against it, s0iH De marked.
 Rev. Geo. Richards will repeat at the re. quest of several citizens his patriotic sermon on "The War;" preached last Sunday morning. at the Court House, on Friday Evening. The Litchfeld volunteers and all others interested are invited to De present.
 Ut is expected that the Litchfeld, Wolcott- vile and Plymouth Co.,, of Volunteers will drill here on Friday of this week.
 Mir. Geo. Lord, son of Mir. Henry s. Lord. formerly of this place, is member of the 18th N. Y. Regiment ordered to the war. So the Litchfeld boys all over the country are enlist ing in the service of their Government. .:

CORNWALL.

There is no mistaking the sentiment of tb;s town in relation to the affairs of our country or the deep seated love for that Flag that has till now waved over the happiest and most pros porous people of the present age. It is worn on our boys heads; our girls B9end it's beautiful colors in their aprons. It faunts to the breeze from hundred house tops, and poles hundred feet high. From many household altar goes up the incense of solemn prayer to God that He Will save us from rebellion and strife and make us again "That happy people whose God is the Lord.'
 serious accident happened at pole raising in West Cornwall last week. When the pole was part way up; the chain to which the Tackle blocks were hitched broke, and the pole fell striking Mr: McMurty completely scalping one side of the head and otherwise injuring him. For some hours his life was despaired of, but he is now slowly recovering.
 The next day the people had new pole erect ed to it's place and raised beautiful Flag made by the ladies of the village to the top of it amid the cheers of a crowd of people A box was PAoeSo at Ine AooG ol lHe pole anu 6s tue call O1 the crowd impromptu speeches were made by Messrs. E. F. Gold, J. Wilson, T. g. Gold, N Hart, Jr. and Vim. c. Rogers
 Two other flags have been raised, one at C. Bridge and one at N. Cornwall.
 Our volunteers meet several times week, Mr. Schmeideburg is drilling them.

Both have been accepted.
 A DARING FEAr-The ysang Republicans of Sharon erected last fall flagstaff, S5 feet high. Some evil disposed person cut the rope by which the flag was suspended, so that it was rendered useless. Last Tuesday, the Staff was dedicated to the cause of the Union and Constitution, and Mir. Giles Miner, young man of the town, climbed the Staff to the top, and inserted the rope through pulley, and returned to the ground in safety. Hearty cheers from the by islanders saluted him on his reaching the ground without accident, and liberal donation in money was made on the spot.

THE PENNSYLVANIA LEGIsLATURE.-C1oy. Cur. tins message speaks of the unexampled prompt ness and patriotism in Pennsylv lvania and other loyal states in responding to the call of the Presi dent.
 He says the slaughter of Northern troops at Baltimore for pretended offence imposes new duties and responsibilities on the state and the administration. ..' ;.'' This state of things cannot be submitted to fur. ther.
 Maryland professes loyalty or otherwise- There can be permitted no hostile soil-no ob- structed thoroughfare between states undoubtedly loyal and their National Capitol.
 There is reason to hope the route through Bal timore will be no longer closed against peaceable passage of our people, armed in the service of the government.
 But we must be fully assured of this, and the uninterrupted enjoyment fpassage to the Capi- tol by any and every route essential to the pur- poses of the government It must be attained, peaceably if possible, by arms if necessary.
 The time for temporising and forbearance with this rebellion is passed.
 On Saturday an additional requisition was made for 25 regiments of infantry and one cav airy.
 There has been more companies rendered than would make the entire complement.
 The Governor communicates the fact that the banks have rendered any amount of money ne- cessary.
 The loan of s5OO,o0O is not yet exhausted. But much larger sum will be required.
 The Gov. recommends the immediate organi- zation of Is regiments of cavalry and infantry, exclusive of those already called for.
