mites our citizens could have, for active
service under so brilliant a commando
as Gen. MCCLELLAN. The officers Of the
Company are excellent, sober men-and
two Of them have seen service. We can
not refrain therefore, from urging upon
all who are DESTROYS of taking up arms
in defence of the institutions and gov.
eminent of the country, to come forward
now, and go with this Company. The
Governor has authorized Capt HoRD to
put his company into quarters, and as
soon as the men enlist they will draw IA.
tions and pay. The Governor recon-.
'mends strongly the furnishing of the
men with uniforms, and urges if it can t
be done otherwise, that the Board of Su.
pervisors should vote sufficient TO do
this. We hope this will be done The
Board will meet, we understand, in spec.
aal Session, the coming week, to take the
matter into consideration, and we hope
they will take the responsibility Of pro-
viding the means for this purpose. The
Governor truly remarks, in his letter to
Capt. HoRn, that ii men go into camp
without clothes enough to keep them de-
cent and comfortable, they soon become
impatient and disheartened. Nothing
has conduced so much to keep the Guards
in excellent health, spirits and disc plne
and TO give them that feeling Of pride
that has made them so orderly as well as
so!diery, as The fact that they were well
provided. To send Capt. HoRD's Com

Board OF Supervisors, and the citizens Of

those who wish 10 20, come up immedi
ately aud join. The War Department
desires the regiment to be ready by the

The WhisfIef's Tune.

There is nothing among the current ryth-
nical paragraphs Of the day, that convey smore
pleasantly the very spirit of nightfall in the
country--the sights and sounds of season to
which the gas lighted city is always a ssran-
ger. than the whistler's tune.
Supper was over. the boy went ont
He passed through the yard and over the
stile.
The big dog barked as he went along by,
And followed him nearly mile.
He sat down on q hickory log
And whistlsd lively tune this boy.
VIII ich took the ear of the barking dog,
And he wagged his tail for joy!
The beetle stopped from pinching the fly.
The toad in his hole stood still,
And the tom-tit heard with tear in his eye,
And 4 shipg worm in his bill;
And the grass-bopper said, II know that air,
But cannot whistle it so--
The tune of the man with no hair on his head,
Where hair ever ought to grow"

A NOBLE REPLY.

A young lady, who had become
betrethed to an honorable, ambitious
youth, but who was poor, approached
her father to ask bis approval. :
but he is poor my child" replied
the parent. "Aye, that's true," said
the noble girl, "but such was heaven S
decree; be has that, however, which
money cannot buy, and without
which all the wealth of the Indies
could not secure my love-hs is
honorable, brave, noble, independent,
energetic and ambitious; be is es.
teemed aud respected by all for
himself alone and for that love
him." The parent was moved; he
felt proud of bis child, relented and
never regretted bis decision. That
poor boy now is one Of the most
distinguished citizens of an eastern
State, has filed the Office oe governor
with credit to himself, and owes ii
all, doubtless, to the noble spirited

Border State Convention The
New York Tribune, of March 27:b,
throws cold water on the Border State
Convention proposed to be held BY
Virginia at Frankfort, KY, in this
wise. Men Of the Border States,
read and consider:
IF a convention of the Border
States te held, as proposed, few
months hence. the probability is by
no means remote, that terms will be
demanded of the Administration
which cannot be consistently yielded.
No cause Of complaint has been givsn
then, thus far, and yet the politicians
insist upon a compromise which In
wolves direct a5 andonment of prin-
aple. Nather Mr.. Lincoln nor his
friends wiU consent to any such sur
render. That purpose may az yell
be understood in aduance.
