The correspondent of the Charleston Cou-
rier wrote from Montgomery, Alabama, un-
der date of the 2Sth uItmo as follows:
"The aspect of Montgomery at this time
is any thing put peaceful, and with the
presence Of so many troops in the capitol
at once, the people are beginning 10 realize
the fact that we are in the midst of war, as
well as to feel assured that vigor and ener-
gy characterize the Administration In the
churches, to-day, prayers were offered for
the success of our arms during the war
The desire for taking Washington, believe
increases every hour, and all things, to my
thinking, seem tending TO this coneumalion
We are in lively hope that before three
months roll by, the Government, Con-
gress, Departments, and all will have re-
moved to the present Federal Capital"

cheers were given for the loyal people of
Baltimore. Hon Roger A Pryor, of Virgin

and as soon as it was known there were
loud calls for him. His reception was most
enthusiastic, and some minutes elapsed be-
lore he could commence his remarks. He
made brei but very eloquent address,
full OF spirit. He is in favor OF marching
Immediately on Washington, and so stated
10 which the crowd responded in deaening
and prolonged cheers"

on taking The colors:
Sergeant Gordon, te your particular
charge is committed this noble gift Plan
il wherever honor calls. Ii opportunity OH
iers let it be the first 10 kiss the breeze o
heaven from the dome of the Capitol a

We could indefinitely multiply these CT.
