found. Our citizens of all classes, able to bear
arms and The iatigues OF camp, have promptly
enrolled themselves except a few s~cammyhorns,
who prefer to be protected by Others, rather than
aid in protecting themselves. They can be
spared.
As many of those who have joined, are unable
conveniently to furnish their outfits, our citizens
have contributed largely to this object. The
Branch Bank has also appropriated fifty dollars
to each full company, for the same porpose, an
offering both timely and praiseworthy.
In addition, two artillery companies are about
full, so that ere long we expect to present a form

Morton can't do it, because the Zouave has only

votes IN this regard, and accept the advantages
and pay Of the State in the Legion.

That the young men, in this time of our coun-
