EDs1oR PIONEER,
The patriotism ef The citizens Of Syca-
more has become So thoroughly aroused,
that notwithstanding the expiration OF
the time for enlisting in the new regi-
ments, d number camo up and offered
their names on Saturday last. We nn-
derstand that the Sycamore auota for the
recent calls is full. without taking into
the account the company rapidly filing
up under the supervision of Mr.. Sim.
! see by the Auditors report, that
Sycamore is accredited with but thirty
five men in service. Though acquainted
in but two-thirds of the township, can
furnish the names Of forty one (4i now
in the field.
The Soldiers Dance It vas thought
betting by those of our citizens who
have not enlisted in the service Of their
county. and readily acquiesced in by
tHosc WIZ Hase, VIM q Sosfee Do given
them, to afford an opportunity to the
chivalry of enjoying themselves once
more with the beauty of the community,
and thus renew their covenant Of friend
ship, ere they took their places in the
ranks, to engage in the sanguinary con-
tfict row going on between the two Sec
tions of our country. There were pre-
sent thirty-two couples, including that
part Of the soldiery who partake in the
delights of the ballroom. The rest of
the company were friends Of the soldiers,
invited at their suggestion. A number
Of the braves of old Seneca participated,
and, Notwithstanding the deadly hate
that existed between the aborigines of the
two sections, (Seneca and Wyandot) it
was pleasure to see the braves of the
present day unite and whilst the Wyan-
dots were engaged in swinging the fair
daughters Of Seneca, the Seuecas were
basking in the smiles of the blushing
maids of Wyandot. Supper was served
between the hours of twelve snd one
o'clock, and it is enough to say that A.
B. Swazey was at the hesd Of it to assttre
all that it was right. After supper, at
the suggestion of the aoor-manager, the
soldiers were granted the floor alone
and each, with the girl of his choice, ap-
peared, and amid the echoes of three
rousing cheers the music sounded, the
dance commenced, and the braves for
half an hour at least thought not OF battle
fields, or the scenes that SO soon await
them !; whilst, to give eclat to the per-
fo,mance. towering above all present the
gigantic proportions of their brave leu
tenant might have beer seen, his face
lighted with a smile. Thus until the
stars shrank from the approach of the
God OF day, did the music sound anu the
dance go on.
Nay the God of battles protect the
boys, and ere long may we be greeted by
their presence, and Join with them again
in the festivities of another occasion not
unlike the above and may they be iii.
strumental in planting our banner over
every rebeilious town and fort, and ly
long to enjoy the advantages OF Our sys-
tenn of free government, purchased by
the blood of our fathers, and perpetuated
by their own. Then looking up To that
banner in after years, with Drake may
they exclaim-
| Forever aoat that standard sheet,
Where breathes the foe but falls before US?
With freedom soil beneath our feet
| And Ieedoms banner waving o'er US.
| SYCAMORE.
