BDIToR LEADER This locality Is not rife
with special news, although we are "wide
awake upon the present national Issues
This county has ''sent forth to battle" eight
companies Of infantry, composed of iron
shod noble hearted members-men who will
not ialter in any emergency, but ever main
tain brave and gallant bearing In defence
of their country, In addition to this fine
regiment Of cavalry is now within thirty
men OF the requisite number on drill At
West6eld in this county. This regiment, at
the special request of Secretary Seward, is
to assume the name of the "Chatauque Coun
ty Cavalry 1t may not be known perhaps

some "sweet oil devotees heresbouts, num-
berless sore heads, as well as other sour,
mouldy, musty politicians; some who have
been so long troubled with the chronics |"
that every Joint in them creaks and every
muscle pulls and distorts the phiz alarmingly.
These men having "lost their lustre, ="

certain traitors, clad in gauze, who, like
vermin, are really more disgusting than dan
