I have been requested to announ C, through your
columns, the death of your late fellow citizen, CY
RUS K. DREW, which took place It bayfield,, Wis,
on Sabbath, April 2sth, at II o'slect. P.
This intelligence will be received by multitudes
in our midst, with feelings OF deep and uRfsigned
sorrow. Col. D. was a resident of this city for
many years, and will be remembered, not only by
its citizens, but by many who visited it in their
travels, as the urbane aud attentive proprietor If
the old Exchange Ho el, or subsequently of the
Payilion on Water street.
He en- enthusiastic adherent of the Demo
cratic party, and about four years ago, in consid
Grafton for services to the party, received APP
pointRent to the Agency of the North West In
dian tribes, being located at Superior CITY and,
within a few months at Bayfield, on Lake Superior.
1t is believed that Col. D. fulfilled the trust COM
mltted to him with energy and fidelity; and was
not OILY scTupulous in meeting all his obligations
to the Government, but took deep interest in do
ing Justice to, and promoting the interests of the
req men who came under his supervision. They
regarded him as, indeed, their White " Father

were too much for his already shat tered coEsttN-

merely winding up his business, so as to transfer
it to him who to follow in its prosecution,
when the g stern messenger " came, calling him to
from all the offices of this life end enter upon
the realities of the great hereafter.
No kinder hearted man ever lived than Col. D.
He generous to fault. Literally, he will
ling to share his last fIrthiDg with friend. This
trait Will doubtless account for his laying up but
little of this worlds goods, where others, less kind
of heart, would have aInassed thousands.

ARRIVAL OF THE 18th REGMENT.-So
many of our people were disappointed on
Thursday morning, that they became some
what skepticaI as to whether troops were
coming at all, and consequently were taken
by surprise when they heard the music OF
the regimental band yesterday morning.
But few persons, comparatively, were at the
depot, and no demonstrations whatever were
made over the important arrival. The
troops were formed, Immediately on arriv-
ing, and marched direct to the encampment.
They are robust, hardy, noble looking fell
slows; and if the sun tans their skins to
much darker color, they will resemble
NapoIeon's African Zouaves, not only in
courage, skill, and drill, but also in COM
plexion This Regiment has taken solemn
oath-when they have an Opportunity-to
wipe out the odiu,n which was unjustlyheap-
ed upon the Indiana volunteers by JEFF. Davis
and others during the Mexican war, and they
are just the boys 10 make good their words
There were no indications Of fatigue that we
could discover as they marched up the street,
notwithstanding they had been up all night
and had been unable to obtain any refresh
ments. Their step was as elastic and their
spirits apparently as buoyant as though
they were just entering on a dress parade.
We trust our citizens will do all in their
power to make the boys enjoy themselves
while amongt Us. There are a thousand
little naueIess acts of kindness that may
be done, that cheer the spirits and warm the
heart far more ahsn a great parade of liber-
atty. Many Of the volunteers have aban-
doned homes of ease and luxury,i in obedience
to the call OF their country, and of course
with them camp life is both harassing and
uncomfortable They have abandoned the
social circle at home; let them find socia-
bility on the part of our citizens to take the
place of that they have denied themselves in

Stripes.

the red stripes look like so many veins or
arteries, filed with healthful life blood,
drawn from the wounds of the old revOlu-
tionary sires who bled beneath its glorious
folds: and as for the white stripes, every
one knows that they are the milky way out
of which new stars are continually forming.
1t is the red veins that give life and health
and vigor to the flag; take them off and it
looks like CHASTITY shroud; if it be dyed
a still deeper red in the blood of traitors,
bring it home and the ladies will prove to
you-that traitors blood will soon wash
out but.patriot blood never. There is magic
in that flag which makes brave soldiers
and you will find it. If the shroud of Bene-
dict Arnold had been made out of the Stars
and Stripes, he would have been very re-
spectacle looking corpse. And now in conclu-
sion the ladies have but one thing to ask in
return for this beautiful flag and l appeal
to your gallantry to grant the request.
When you come home from fields of battle
they want you to bring rattlesnake dag
and present it to them. They want to see the
old serpent that is tempting our fair South
erR Eve to fall again. May the armies OF
the Union bruise the head of that serpent
pretty considerably in the coming campaign
so that peace and concord and harmony
may dwell once more throughout that land,
which the Almighty intended as an appen-
dix to Paradise.
Mr.. Willard, accepted the flag in behalf
Of the captain and company in a short, and
appropriate address. He said the flag
never would be dishonored in the hands to
which it was intrusted. He returned thanks,
also, for the many acts of kindness Oh the
part of the ladies towards the conpany, and
said was it his fate to fall on the Cell OF
battle, he knew that bis family would be
cared for by the generous people ia whose
midst he left them. The address was receiv-
ed with much favor.
The Star Spangled Banner-thct good
old song, that SO stirs the hearts of the peo-
pie, and arouses their enthusiasm, was then
played, and afterwards sung. The singing
was fine, and the words and music thrilled
every heart, and not few eyes were suf-
fused with tears. Three cheers were then
given for the ladies; three for the flag; three
for the boys and three for the Union. The
companies then took up their line of march
down the street.
By this time the splendid band connect
ed with Col. Wallace's regiment-whict
owing to some misunderstanding, did no
reach the ground soon enough to take par
in the interesting exercises-made its ap
pearance, and favored the audience with
couple of fine pieces of music. Il is quit

BG3% Were a stranger, unacquainted with
our people, to base an opinion of their pat
riotism, and the interest they feel in the
mighty revolution that is now shaking this
continent from center to circumference,
on what he witnesses in other towns and
cities, his conclusions would be not much to
our credit, and consequently entirely wrong.
We are not demonstrative people. While
we have considerable of the Star-Spangled
Banner element in our composition, it is not
ofthat kind that manifestsitself in Sc fuss and
feathers" Our patriotism finds vent in
practical undertakings.
Situated in the extreme south of the
State, with our interests and business rela-
tons almost exclusively in the South, the
attack on Fort Sumter, nevertheless, con-
WINGED our people that the time for action
had arrived that sacrifices bad to be made
and if they expected to maintain their free
institutions, they must rally to the de-
tense of their flag. Fully aware of their
exposed situation, and placing no conf
dence in the ability of the Union men
of Kentucky to prevent the traitors in that
State from dragging it into the revolution,
an investigation demonstrated the still
more alarming fact that our people were
totally unarmed and unprepared for sud
den attack. With this condition of things
staring them in the face, they had but lit
tie time for patriotic display, and they
promptly adopted the wiser course oforgan-
izing and getting ready for the conflict
Although hundreds OF our mechanics have
been thrown out of employment, with large
families depending on their daily labor for
support, and our business men have seen
their business ruined, and their bright pros
poets of becoming independent destroyed,
still not murmer of complaint do we
hear. On the contrary, the cause seems to
become dearer to them in proportion
to the sacrifices they make in its be-
half. Our mechanics have turned their
attention to manufacturing weapons of
offense and defense. All that can,
have furled sails and prepared for the
storm, and upon no part of the people of
this State has it burst with such fury as up
on the business and laboring interests of
Evansville.
Prompt measures have been taken by
/ our city and county authorities to place the
city and county in a posture for defense,
we are now fully able to repel any ordina-
ry foe that may be brought against us. The
agent sent to purchase arms has already
shipped us several boxes and our enterpris-
ing foundry men and blacksniths have
manufactured two as fine pieces of artillery
as can be found in the State.
The gun made in the blacksmith shop
and foundry of Messrs. K ratz & Heilman is
most beautiful piece of ordnance, and in
proper hands, as it will be, will do most
terrible execution. The entire workman
ship-the welding and forging, the turning
and boring ,-have been done in the neates
manner, and the finish is superb It is an
"eight FOUNDER" and the balls have
already been cast for it, as for the
two brass pieces of Capt. Klaus artillery
