had been presented to citizens of Kentucky
when John j. Crttenden had been the frs
to enrol his name, the effect of which wa
that hundreds had at once focked to tn,
Union standard. Was there no Crittender
in Alexandria? Whereupon Jacob Bower
with unsteady step. advanced to the stand
| said be had been number three on the frs
list, and now he wanted to be put down mum
Der one. No others appeared, when U. S
| captain stated that he would undertake to ge
up the company.
70 this Judge Freese objected, and said HI
wanted the citizens to have entire control o
the matter, and suggested that COMMITTEES
be raised to form the company He was op
posed to any interference in the matter by
! the U. S. officers.
John Birrell moved that committee to
canvas the city for recruits, be appointed
Motion carried.
1t was determined that the committee
should consist of five, whom the Chair stated
he would appoint in the morning.
Judge Freese suggested that the officers of
the regiments stationed here would willingly
lend their aid in drilling the company, and
when it was ascertained who were the most
apt, selections for the officers could be made.
Chaplain Adams, of one of the Pennsyl-
vania Regiments, then addressed the meet
ing on the immoral tendency of the present
generation, and their desire to corrupt the
truth.
The Chairman sta ed that John Under
wood, Of Occoquan, was in the Hall, and de.
sired to become member of the Associa-
tion, whereupou John Underwood appeared,
and had the oath of allegiance to the U. S.
Government administered to him by Judge
Freese.
The Chairman presented to the speakers
bouquets, also, two to the leader of the
Band. Judge Freese responded on behalf
Of himself, and j. c. Underwood. Rev. Mr..
Adams also responded. and the band played
. beautiful air.
Lewis Mckenzie moved that the meeting
adjourn, but withdrew the motion at the
of the Chairman, who then pre-
'ented 0. G. Whittlesey with a bouquet for
aithful services as Secretary Of the Associa-
ion. The motion to adjourn was then re-
lewed, and the meeting adjourned.

Government can much better afford to fight
than to yield the point.
The Government has now in the field
over six hundred thousand soldiers. The
stimulus of war with England would,
in six months, bring into the field as
many more. The capacity of the nation to
carry on war has not yet been fully test
ed. A war with England would bring out
great deal of, as yet, latent patriotism.
Enormous as have been the expenses of the
present war, the drain upon the national
resources of men and money has been
scarcely perceptible. The nation is grow
ing rich at the same time that it is carrying
on an expensive war. And it is able to fight
England until she shall be perfectly salts
fed. Cut off from the markets of the
world, with no imports, all the power and
capital of the nation would be thrown into
the channels opened by the war. The
supply of men and provisions would be un-
limited, while England would be the great
est sufferer, from the shutting off of our
supplies of grain, with which her markets
have been SO long filed.
While the nation is in the business,
another war will not make much difference.
Better do all the fighting at once that may
be needful flor the preservation of Republi-
can institutions, and the maintenance of the
rights and dignity of an Independent, free
Government.

A Tough Question.

The Chicago Tribune puts the following
question to Gen. Halleck, and the highesi
authority which it is said prompted the is
suing of Order No. 8, which we think will
rather puzzle them to answer in consisten-
cy with that order:
''As to the question of excluding slaves
of rebels from the Federal lines, let the
point be put thus: Suppose the regiment OF
several hundred blacks, lately reviewed at
New Orleans, were to present themselves to
Gen. Sherman. or to Gen. Halleck himself,
one of these days, when he gets further
South. would either OF these officers, or any
higher authority al Washington, turn these
colored men back to their masters? And
yet, how does it differ in principle from
lesser cases constantly occurring?"

MPORIA, KANSAS:
1se1.62.

Before we issue again, new year will
have set in. Could We lift the vail of flu
turity. and look upon the events which are
to transpire between this and the recurrence
of the next New Year Day. no doubt the
picture would be varied, and one which
would not be pleasing to the lover of peace
and uuietude. We are not gifted with pro-
phetic powers, and shall not attempt to
draw the scenes which will be presented on
the great panorama, as the days and months
shall roll round between now and the close
of 1862. The curtains have fallen on 1861
forever. It has been the most eventful
year in the history of this Republic, since
the close of the Revolution. The Rebellion,
which broke out in 80, has swept over al
most the entire South, until it embraces
some dozen of the States which compose
this once happy and united country. In
this year, great armies have been raised and
sent forward against each other, all COM
posed of American citizens. In the North
alone, an army of over half million of
men has been raised armed and equipped and
sent forward to do battle for Freedom, and
for sustaining the most bene6cent Govern
ment on earth. Brother is arrayed against
brother, friend against friend-and the con-
fiict is most terrible.
'Oh, pity, God, this miserable age!-
What stratagems, how fell, how butcherly,
Erroneous, mutinous, and unnatural,
This deadly nuarrel daily doth beCet p'
History will dwell upon the events of
1861, as the year in which Sumter fell, and
the battle of Springfield was fought-the
year of the great Bull Run ,stampede-the
year in which Ellsworth, and Lyon, and
Baker, died martyrs to the cause of Free
Government-the year in which countless
happy homes were desolated, and thousands
of fond hearts were broken by the evils of
the great Southern Rebellion.
The New Year was born in times of
trcuble-may it die in peace. We hope the
dark clouds of Rebellion will be driven back
before the bright sunlight of Union, Truth
and Freedom, and that the people may be
brought peacefully out of this conflict, and
the principles of Free Government be more
firmly established than ever, before the next
New Year Day. To this end let each and
every patriot work earnestly. periodically,
and couscientiously.
We wish our people happy New Year,
and great degree of prosperity in all their
undertakings.
