POTTER THE BANNER COUNTY OF PENNA

POTTER THE BANNER COUNTY OF PEENA
Some few weeks since Major Jno. NJ.
Kilborne received, from Gov. Curtin, per-
mission to raise two companies Of men in
Potter county. At first it was thought,
by some, impossible, as the county, indie
pendent Of being new, sparsely settled,
and its people mostly farmers, had been
pretty generally CLEANED of recruits by
officers from New York Regiments and
from stray regiments throughout this
State. Potter had two hundred men in
the field, and some dared TO think that
with them had flown the bird of good
omen, that patriotism had become too
weak and preferred displaying itself on
the street corners instead Of the battle
feld,-a grand mistake Ga last Thurs.
day morning, Maj. Kilbourne, with about
eighty men belonging to the Hebron and
Allegany companies, started from Cou-
dersport, meeting the Oswayo Company
at Oswayo Village; here the people had
prepared parting dinner for the soldiers,
and after listening to a short address by
a gentleman from Wellsvillc. n. Y, and
being joined by the Oswayo company,
numbering about one hundred men,
took up their line Of travel, amid the
cheers Of the patriotic, the tears of mo-
theirs, wives, aud sisters, aud the bless
ings Of the gray haired. Upon nearing
WeIlsyllle they were met by large pro
cession Of its good and patriotic citizens,
with three bands, large number of fire.
men and horsemen, and two large wagons
crammed full Of pretty girls Proceed
ing to Wellsville they drove through the
principal streets, and were then warmly
welcomed by the citizens to a sumptuous
collation., previously prepared by the la,
dies, after which they were "housed up"
to await the night express. Many thanks
are due the Ladies and citizens of Wells
vile for the cordial and hospitable recep.
ton extended to our troops. May they
continue in the good work of aiding the
brave Volunteers who are fighting to
secure peace and happiness to our much
troubled country.-At one o'clock the
"boys" left for Elmira, where they were
to remain until the next day, 5 o'clock.
But, while congratulating ourselves
upon the raising of one Battalion, let US
remember that we have not as vet, done
all that we can do, some of the townships
have not furnished single man, while
Others have not done what they ought
and may have yet to do before the war
closes. The Governors of the States are
urging more troops into the field, and
great activity prevails in all departments.
Much credit is due Major Kilborne for
the energy and activity, with which, in
so short time, he accomplished the no
bic work. Assisted by the brave officers
and men we have no fears but that Potter
county will show itself both brave and
loyal. This last instalment will make
our county the Banner County of the
State. Four Hundred men in the field
and only eleven thousand population
