sides large home guard. Can any county
beat Middlesex? All we want are good arms
and when any of Lincoln's horde shall dare
desecrate our soil by tread of their feet they
will meet a Toe who know how to maintain
their rights. Give US, then, arms and we ask
no more.
Tomorrow, some of our volunteer forces
will be inspected by Major ker, and soon mus

tion of a beautiful State fig to theOld Domin-

arriving at the camp, was particularly
struck with the peculiar neatness with which
it is kept, and with the good order which pre-
vailed universally among the members of the
company.
AT the appointed hour, the flag was pre-
ented to the Guards, in behalf of the ladies,
by Miss Virginia +. Handy, daughter of the
Rev. DIR. Handy, of this place. and was re-
eeived, in d very patriotic manner, by Private
J 4. Crocker, one of our most respectable
lawyers. After this, Capt. Kearns made a
few earnest remarks to his company full OF
noble, patriotic sentiments. After an excel
lent collation., the visitors We're invited to
witness trial of skill by the Guards on the
commons, at the Pinner's Point Battery.
which is under their care. Eight shots were
fired, all of which came within a very short
distance of the target, exhibiting great skill on
the part of the members of the company
The battery at Pinner's Point was constructed
