DEPARTURE or CAPTAIN CHARLES
wORTIps COMPANY.
THEY EYAREpREsENTEDw THAsPLENDlDFLAG
The Leave Takings.

1t was generally known throughout the
surrounding country, on Saturday, that
Capt. Charlesworth' company of three years
volunteers had received orders to report
themselves at Camp jackson for duty, and
that they would leave on Monday. Conse-
quently, on Monday morning the people COM
menced pouring into town from all quarters.
The crowd was considerably larger than that
which saw Capt Tallman's company of.
NEW RECRUITS.
On Sunday Mr.. VIM. Askew brought to
town sixteen new recruits for this company
from Kirkwood Township. They were hardy
and intelligent looking men, and, like all the
balance of the company, will make good sol
diers. They came into town with the stir
ring notes Of the fife and drum, which, on a
quiet Sunday afternoon, was calculated to
awake our townsfolks considerably.
THE ELECTION, &C.
The company was formed in line on Mon
day morning and drilled some, and the cleo
ton of Captain and First and Second Lieut.
ants announced for II clock. At that time
the company proceeded to the Grand Jury
Room in the Court House and proceeded to
an election, which resulted as follows:
Captain-James +. Charlesworth
F'ust Lieutendnt-William Askew.
Second Lieutenant-Arthur Higgins.
All three of these gentlemen were in the
Mexican War, and their experience there
will be found of great advantage to this COM

THE FLAG PRESENTATION.

About % o'clock the company was form
ed, fronting the National House. A squad
of men, under Leutenants Askew and Hig-
gins, were detailed to escort the colors from
the residence Of Mr.. John Ii. Heaton, to
the National, where they were delivered to
Judge Kennon, who presented them, in be-
half of the ladies, in an excellent speech
The Judge appeared to be in one of his hap
piest moods.
After Judge Kennon had concluded Rev.
John MoiIat addressed the soldiers in an
earnest and patriotic speech. The Reverend
gentleman was particularly impressive inurg-
ing the soldiers to remember while they were
serving their country, they had God also
to serve; and his allusion to the immortal
soldier and christian, Havelock, was appro-
pirate and well-timed.
When MIR. Moffat had concluded Rev.
Mr.. Seigfried, of Muskingum county,
through mistake of some gentlemen upon
the hotel steps, wasintroduced, before Capt.
Charlesworth had an opportunity Of reply,
and just as he was about to commence it,
The soldiers and the people were very glad
to hear Mr.. Scigfried, and indeed he made q
splendid address, but just at that time all
wished to hear from Capt. Charlesworth. -
Before MIR. S. had concluded it commenced
raining, but the crowd stood the rain and
heard him through.

THE LEAVE TAKING.

So soon as these exercises were gone
through with the vehicles in which the troops
were to be conveyed to the train were upon
the street, and the company, marching to
the East end of town, were in and off. The
march through town was quiet and orderly,
but the streaming eyes and warm hand -shak-
ings with which the brave boys were greeted
by mothers, wives, sisters and friends testi-
fed the depth of love for them better than
any other demonstration could, and must

water is there exceedingly deep, and the Violence
OF winds and weather added greatly to the difficult

were successfully overcome. The entire surface of

AGRICULTURAL,
A Word for Trees.

by telling the trees says H1mboldt, as
quoted by Balfour, that cover the tops and
sides of the mountains, men Of every eli
mate prepare at once two calamities for
future generations-the want Of fuel and
scarcity Of water. Trees, by the nature Of
their perspiration and the radiation from
their leaves in sky without clouds, sur
round themselves with an atmosphere con-
stantly cold and misty. They affect the
copiousness of springs, not as was long
believed, by peculiar attraction for yapors
sheltering the soil from the direct action
of the sun, they diminish the evaporation
of the water produced by rain. When
forests are destroyed as they are every
where in America, by European settlers
with an imprudent precipitation, the
springs are entirely dried up or become
less abundant. The beds Of the rivers, re-
naming dry during part of the year, are
converted into torrents whenever great
rains fall on the heights. The sward and
moss disappearing with the brushwood
from the sides of the mountains, the waters
falling in rain are no longer impeded in
their course; and instead Of slowly augment
ting the level of the rivers by progressive
filtration, they furrow during heavy show
ers the sides Of the hills, bear down the
loosened soil, and form those sudden inun-
dations that devastate the country. Hence
it results that the destruction Of woodlands
the want ofpermanent springs, and the ex-
istence of torrents, (the food in rivers are
three phenomenas closely connected togeth-
or. In Switzerland it has been clearly
ascertained that riyulets formerly full have
shrunk or dried up coincidently with the
clearing Of the mountains, and that they
have once more returned to their former
size on the woods being restored.
Trees shade the soil from the sun
They give off vapor during the day, and so
mitigate heat, while they obstruct the d.
rect rays from aboye-they radiate out
heat during the night, and occasion the
precipitation of dew, many plants being
endowed with this faculty to such an ex,
tent as to collect water in large quantities
from the air trust these remarks will
induce many to plant and foster trees
