GONE TO THE WAR.

Among the many interesting incidents connected with
the recent departure Of the First regiment, Hudson
Brigade, New Jersey State Militia, commanded by Coonel
Van Houghton, was the parting between q father and
his three sons, who have enlisted for the war as drum
mers In the above regiment We refer to Oliver Warren
and Matthew Conckln r, the of Matthew Conckin
the veteran drummer of Dodworths Band. Theyare all
youngest being twenty years old. The parting between
old Matthew and his boys very affecting. He duly
impressed upon their minds the Importance of their
mission, and the duty their country required of them
also admonshng them to stand fast "to their coors
and never beat the ong rolf till tho last armed FOE
thirty five years, which is the case with Matthew Il is
hard for father to give up his only in his old age
and in such manner. But that patriotic Old soldier
would not take them back. he is for the "unioD now
end forever, one and nseperabe."
