out in every direction ladies volunteering to bear part
Of the fatigue Several horses fell under their enthusas-

Many armed men assembled in Centreville on Monday
evening anxious to go on oLewsburg that night They
reluctantly consented to wait for further particulars and
written orders from General Chapman.

excitement prevailed
Such scene as was witnessed in Centrevil,, by 10
o'clock in the morning, would rouse and cheer hearts

wbitened by the fros of many winters in the ranks

defence Of their Inheritance The children Of such men
could not fail to be brave.
About two-thirds Of the armed with that In

OF our country defended their homes and did its work in
the gaining Of thatindependence which we enjoyed IN
Ill the despotc reign Of Abe Lincoln. Others were
armed with D stols, knives ptchiorks and axes. The
C,ntreville Volunteers were armed with rifles. The
ladies were engaged in preparing food and clothing for
their husbands and sons.
To Increase the interest Of the occasion a company
from Mercer arrived aud formidable company il

company was composed of farmers who stopped their

GREENSBORO, la June 4, 1851.
To the Editor Of the Whig:
The suggestion that has been made that the Govern
ment officers of the Confederate States were to take pay
for half of their respective salaries in Confederate
States bonds to be issued by the Government has given
considerable impetus the willingness of subscribing
funds for the support of the Government Ireeves tho
collecting agents FROM the suspicion unfounded of course
that they gathering funds to be wholly reaped by
the Government officials. 1t seemed eminenty proper,
while they feeling the importance and necessity OF
raising funds for the public defence, and urging
Others to contribute of their means that they should set
the example This wise and patriotic resolve ofthers calls
orciby to mind the magnanmous conduct Of our lusr
Washington, who being able to live without it. abso
utey refused receive pay FROM his country in her hour
of Distress and earned thereby for dsnterested
patriotism. Acts speak so much louder than words.
No can estimate the encouragement contributors
from this commendabls act of officers and they en-
title themselves to great praise for it,
