kindly received at the various points along the

pinaments, for which the proprietors would not
receive farthing The Trinity Volunteers will
not forget the generous hospitality Of McCaus-
land, Floyd & Cooksey.
After dinner at the "Station" Capt. Brooks
announced to the men that the name of Trinity
Mountaineers," had been suggested by ladies of
Weavervi.le as an appropriate one for the Com
pany, and it was received and adopted with vo-
ciferous cheering. Then came cheers for the la
dies of Weavervile, the propretors of the d" Sta

Company moved on. May the protecting hand
of the God Of Battles attend them wherever the

CHARLES W. GoRDoN.-We may be pardoned
for seeming partaity in speaking few words in
commendation of Charley. His three and ahall
years residence has made but one Impression
that of the highest character in his behalf. No
young man ever made in so short a time more
warm and devoted friends His high sense of
duty to his country overcame all persuasion to
remain, and severed every reluctant tie which
kind feelings and friendship could yield to. A
young man so true to principle so true to bis
country, his friends and himself, cannot fail to
secure honor and consideration in any walk Of
life be may choose to enter.

DEPARTURE OF LIEUT.. ISRAEL.-Lieut Israel.
of the First Trinity Volunteers, who remained
behind to recruit men for Capt. Crowninsheld's
Company--now full-left on Wednesday morn
ing's stage with his men.
Lieut. Israel, in recruiting the number requir-
ed to fill up the company, had many retarding
obstacles to overcome, but his energy, persever-
ancc and uniform courtesy, soon placed it within
his power to recruit the number of men wanted.
While here be exhibited the characteristics Of
gentleman, and from personal knowledge of
bis men, we can say without hesitation or fear of
contradiction that no finer body of men ever en-
tered the service of the United States. Lieut..
Israel desires US to return his and the thanks
of his men TO the people of Trinity county for
the kindness and liberalty bestowed upon them
while in camp, and particularly to those who did
not withhold any necessary means to provide for
their comfort or facilitate their departure par
ticularly Messrs H. Greenhood David Kinds and
John Martin
The following is list of the patriotic fellows
under Lieut. Israel's command, which will be
mustered into the 4th Regiment of Infantry, un-

JOHN NJ. CAss.-Our old friend John has gone
to the wars-flling too the high and honorable
position of First Lieutenant in the "Trnty
Mountaineers." John was for many years civ
il officer in this county, and as such, won the es-
TEEN and confidence Of the people, and particu-
larly of those for and with whom he did business.
He has now entered another sphere of life, one
| in which he will no doubt prove adequate to ev-
cry demand upon the soldier. He has nerve,
! judgment, and unquestioned integrity, and pos
sesses in high degree the requisite traits of
character to make brave and prudent officer.
