These people were all in good condition
and were much rejoiced when they discovered
they were within the lines of the national

had been sold to Alabama. From this hour
she resolved to escape with her child, and

Corsspsudencs Of the Republican.
ESSEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS.
.. Santamh0r. 1851

Allow me brief space to refer to some
matters of more than local interest In one Of
the rural districts Of the good old Bay State.
We have long felt peculiar interest In WASH
inetou, an interest deepened and intensified by
the daily reading of the /" Republican," an in
valuable paper which has reached us regularly
for months, either as half sheet or whole
one, with the exception Of the dark and ever.
memorable week Of non.intercommunicatio
between the nations endangered capital and
the aroused East.
And you will be considerably interested
hereafter in this portion of the country, when
informed that two regiments, who have for
weeks more than doubled the population Of the
usually quiet town Of Lynnfeld, have just left
"Camp Schouler" for the battlefield, to do
their partin saving Washington and The Union
and that other regiments Of Massachusetts
volunteer militia, including Henry Wilson's,
perhaps the best In New England, are to be en-
camped awhile here, as important constituents
of the grand Union army, preparatory fol
scenes Of conflict with the rebel enemy, and
ultimate brilliant success.
If you and your readers knew these noble
volunteers and their excellent officers as well
as they are known hereabouts, greatly cheered
and strengthened would you feel by knowl
edge of their presence in your vicinity, moi
harbor q lingering doubt but the gigantic re
belion will be eventually aud Thoroughly pu
down. Well, we have many "more OF the
same sort"-yea, an abundance of similaI
material in this ancient and liberty-lOvinl
a! Commonwealth.
