a Sunday ia be Rem e1n bered in
Lancaster.

The short notice of Gov. Randall made
it necessary for all persons enrolled as
GRAM County Volunteers to report them
selves at Roscobel early Monday morning,
making it necessary for volunteers from
most parts of the county to meet at Ian
caster by II o'clock Sunday, and leave
shortly thereafter for Boscobel Or the
evening before the arrangements had been
made for teams, and the citizens having
voted the freedom of Lancaster to volun-
teers during their stay, Sunday forenoon
was spent in preparations to receive them
and help them forward. The usual re-
ligious exercises were dispensed with, and
the deacons, c'ergymen and religious men
and women united with all others in these
perhaps last kindnesses towards the Grant
County soldiers. The little girls were
making rosetts for presents. and the ladies
all were engaged at something useful for
those about to depart for the conflict.
Deacon Howe came up street with flag,
and Deacon Jones was seeing to the char
table finances and paying the expenses in
Cured for tie recuits. Rev. MIR. Eaton
had arranged for the soldiers to march TO
his church and listen to chapter, with
prayer and parting words. Rev. Mr..
Palmer was fixing to accompany The corr
pany to Boscobel, and SO were we the
writer hereof We had read that in war
there are no Sundays; nov we have seen
this historical saying realized in our streets;
yet, last Sunday was fSo most solemn, re-
Iigious day we ever passed, The necessity
Of a Supreme Ruler and prayer were felt.
Oh, what sermons We're preached on that
Sabbath II this be the preface to war,
what must be in the uasealed book which
lies before us!
At IL o'clock those enlisted for this
place slowly gathered in rank, at the call
Of the drum. This was no child's play
and no jokes were passed, such as arc
heard at military drills during peace; we
are now reminded of battle and mortal
conaict-of all we have read Of tho pat
riots fathers and their struggles for liberty.
Presently, men are seen coming from
Potosi, Beetown, Platteyie and elsewhere
recruits with their escorts of frieEd4.
They meet our men and join in marching
with martial music to the church, for divine
service with Rev. Mr. Eaton. Are dis
missed soon for dinner; then teams are
brought out and all start for Boscobel,
some 81 wagons laden with soldiers and
escorts. We arrived at dawn and secured
places to stay with the generous people at
Boscobel.

ESQ.,, Of Lancaster. Rev. Palmers re-
marks were patriotic and Of the puritanic
order. His charge to read and obey the
precepts Of that sacred book, offer prayers
to its holy author and keep their powder
dry, was responded TO by some wag who
aided, land then give 'em hi" which

ceiyed with the widest shouts, SO it was

Of our families. and to our friends, without
shame and ignominy. Should any Of US
prove recreant TO our duty, we ask now
that you may hereafter mention US only
with reproach and contempt, and that you
shall teach your little children with the
same care as the mother does The catechism,
upon their first childish lispings, to utter
our names as by-words of scorn, and pour
their curses upon us. Wethank you. We
60 to our duty.
A call was then made for donations to
aid the war cause generally, when citizens
commenced responding by offers Of large
sums, the total amount of which is not
known at present.
By request of Mrs. ]. T. Mills, beauti-
full rosette badge was then presented by
Mr.. Cover to the gallant gentleman who
first enrolled his name on the Lancaster
list Of Volunteers. Upon examination Of
list Mr.. George L. Hyde proved to be en-
titled to the badge and received it.
It is unnecessary to add that the pro-
ceedings were marked throughout by deep
emotion; !. more solemn meeting was never
seen perhaps ia Lancaster; and but for the
relief occasionally offered by cheers and
encouraging news, the long suspense in
sadness must have been painful before the
close.

EE- Gov. Randall has issued another
proclamation; says. the lst Regiment was
filled in six days after the call and ready.
lie urges continued formation of com
panies in every locality, for constant drill
and prepara.ion-men pledged to move al
call. Recommends them to elect officers
and report TO the Adjutsnt General for
commissions-says it is not necessary for
men to leave their Labor for drill, though
would have all to drill and practice with
arms who can be spared.
