we have 0eeh much gratifcd at the very
favorable mention that has been made by
the press, OF. the Lancaster Greys. Our
esteemed friend of the Camden .Jour,o,
styles it "speudid company" with other
fattering encominms. The Charleston
Mercury has more than once referred 70
the Company in very warm terms since its
arrival in Charleston. The Courier savs
of it:
We cheerfnly add our endorsement, if
any were needed, for this gallant company
OF Lancaster yeomanry, and we return them
our cordial thanks for very complimentary
salute and call which they rendered in
passing the COURIER office.
In this company We meet and greet our
friend, Long Crabs" who is n fayorte cor.
respondent of the Lancaster Leiger. and IL

Families of Volunteers.

IN our last issue was published the pro.
ceedings of a public meeting at this plnce,
where resolution was adopted requesting
the citizens of the District to meet ot the
Court House on SLes-day next, to take
INTO consideration the adoption of measures
f"r the reiefof families left by our Volup.

State. lfany ale INDECENT, it is unques>
tionably the duty of the District to provide
for them. We observe that in some other
Districts the Commissioners Of the Poor
nave taken this matter in hand. This Is
perhaps the best arrangement that could b.
adopted, and we commend it 10 The consid.

A Word to Farmers.

At this critical juncturc Of affairs, every
| individual should consider how he can hes,
promote the interest Of his country. The
means of serving ones country is not con.
fined to the duty of bearing arms in her
defence in every relation of life something
may be done to advance the great canse
which We have in hand and no vocation
furnishes better opportunity to do SO at
this time than that Of farming. If we are
involved in general war, which now seems
inevitable, our usual facilities for obtaning
grain and psov;siD3s o. various k:nds, will
doubtless, to n considerable extent, be cut
off; and in view of this Impending difficult
ty behoves our farming community to
turn their attention almost exclusively
the culture of grain. The STATES now
composing the Confederate State. of
America have heretofore been largely
dependent np"n the border and the
Northwestern States for their supplies, and
u these resources are cut off, and no pre-
cautionnry steps shall have been taken, we
VIII one year hence be found in az unplcas.
ant predicament.
We should at once engage in earnest cf-
forts to raise provisions sufficient 10 MAIN
tain ourselves and our armies.
This course will ennre 10 the .,,n.Gt of
individuals as well as to the county at
large. IL the threats Of blockade are
carried into effect, the cotton which we may
raise will remain upon our hands, or BE-
bought up by spectators at II nominal
price; whereas corn and other grain must
of necessity find II ready market. Prudence
rs well as sense Of patriotism admonish
our farmers to plant ut least three fpurlhs
of the crop OF this season in grain. 1t is
not now too late; land that is prepared, or
even planted n cotton, may be changed
and planted with corn.

The Clergy in the Field.

So general is the spirit OF resistance in
the South to the audaciQus pretentions of
the Northern Government, that even the
clergy in many instances haye taken up
arms in defence OF the Confederate States.
We are informed that the Rev. A. B. STE.
FHENs, who was the officiating Pastor on
the Lancaster Circuit in 1857, and is
well known and loved by many in our COIN
muni'y, is now the Captain of a Company
OF Volunteers in actual service In Char.
leston.

Rev. +. J. Meynardie, Pastor of the Meth
odist CHURCH At Camden, has been tender

Chaplain in his Regiment, has accepted the

The Colnmbus (Ga.) Sun, says that in
the ranks of the Louisville Blues, now Mt
Montgomery, from Barbour county, is the
Rev. Alexander McLenan, of the Aletho

sous have enlisted with the company for
the term Of twelve months in the service
Of the Confederate States. In speech
made by him at Clayton on their way to
Columbus, he remarked that "our cause
was honored of God, and that he would
crown it with success"
