FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE :,


presentation of flag by the ladies to that splendid
| company, the Pelican Guards. The presentation
will take place at o'clock this evening at Lyceum
Hall.
sERENADEs.-The Crescent office, last night, was
aattered by two delicious serenades-one by the
jeff. Davis Cadets, aud the other by the Perseve-
rance Guards, the latter having been up town to
get flag We will give further particulars about
| the Perseverance Guards tomorrow.
The Washington Guards and the Monroe Junior
Cadets, spirited and patriotic companies of ju-
veniles, also paid their compliments to this oihce
and are remembered for their courtesy.
At a later hour we were complimented with a
serenade from that splendid company, the Sumter
| Greys. Our local editor Che didn't write this
paragraph being still out somewhere with the
company looked and no doubt felt becomingly
proud with that beautiful banner of which he is
the chosen bearer. Well, he should be proud and
that gallant company will yet be, if not already,
reciprocay proud of him.
OFF TO THE WARs.-Our esteemed friend, Dr.
Canter, one of the very best physicians and sur
geons in the South, left last evening for Camp
Moore, he being appointed Surgeon to Colonel
Hunts regiment We congratulate the regiment
upon this acquisition.
oN'i'l''NI
Blues, also left last evening, for Richmond direct,
upon military and other business.
MEN Nor THE ONLY PATR1oTs.-Those who daily
see the soldiers in the streets, and are moved to
admiration of their bravery and patriotism, would
be still more moved if they could but see how
many ladies' of this city are engaged in the same
i glorious cause. The ladies cannot and would not
e turn out in companies to receive the public ap-
Iutif +hnir and ma tinnt labOrS could
be seen, in preparing lint, cutting out and sewing
up uniforms capes, ETC., and preparing the other
little necesarles 50 valuable to the soldiers going
> to the wars it would be freely admitted that IL
patriotic enterprises the ladies are even better
+. than the men: for they do all that is possible
J. within their Womanly sphere.

You should visit the rooms of some Of our ladies'
military sewing societies. Go, for instance, to the
