cation. Capt, Meyer aud 1t. Orwig were
IN the three months service--Lieut. X p
Ter aud Orderly Fich,horn have military
turn-and they have with them the very
best bred aud hale young men, almost
wholly from Union county-beloved
members Of our most respected families,
who we hope AMI trust may never have
occasion to lament the precious offerings
they have laid as it were upon the altar
Of their country.
Ia TIE first Company from the North
and Wes, Branches of the Susquehanua,
in April, 1851, was from Union county.
Arrived at Harrisburg, there they found
their Old friend aud neighbOr, Wm. H..
Armstrong, E-q, with Company of Vol
unteers, Just in from E4stOn.
The .Erst Company, agg"', from the
Susquehanua, is from Union county. On
reaching Harrisburg, there again was Wm.
Armstrong, E-q, Of Eason, after trans
porta,ion for four or five COmpanie, raised
by him on the last call for Volunteers.
There were but two or three Companies
reached Harrisburg, ahead of those from
Lewisburg, on either call of Abraham.
ses.Tho three Chamberlin' Church's,
Hassenplug's, keliy's, Linn E, W clte's and
Meyers, make nine Companies that have
taken the railway at l.ewisburg for the
seat of war Capt. Roush of our county
started from SeIinsgrove, and Capt Tate
from some point above US. These 10 or
ii Captains or Companies, mostly from
Union county, would fiji up Regiment
of 1000 men-which, as our population
is about Is, 900, would be in the ratio Of
one Volunteer to every fifteen persons, old
aud young, male and female-l out of Is
what county, anywhere, has doue better
1t is true, men from other counties serve
with our captains, but We have also men
iu other companies.
R'Last Monday was great day il
Sunbury. The crowd of people there va:
rarely surpassed. The War Meeting wa:
addressed in glowing, patriotic terms, that
elected rap,urous applause, by Judge Jor
dan, Gov. Pollock and others. J. Wood:
Brown E-q. also spoke, and after utteriDG
the mOnstrous, disgusting, stupid cant Of
hanging certain loyal supporters of the
Government on the same tree with its open
enemies like jeff Davis, he subsided in a
silence most suggcstive-a speech as still
born as we trust his re nomination will
prove.-Prof M'Coy delivered his mas
terly Grafton in superior style to mos,
delighted audience The Union Conven-
ton nominated Mr. Hoffman for Assem-
bly,, and Wm. C. Lawson, Esq, for Con
gress-the Couferees, however, instructed
for Geo T. Miller Esq. as the second choice
of Northum berlaud county for Congress.
Eg~!u by-gone years, Union county
generally, and Lewisburg particularly,
performed especial good service, in various
ways, in helping to elect, in hard tugs
for offices, their Milton neighbors-Gen
FRrcK, Gov. Pollock, and Senators
FRIcK and BOUND. Can not our over
the-river friends make fair return to one
of our citizens who was always their lib
eral and efficient supporter!
Our Congressional field stands thus:
Mr. Miller heo Uninn. tho feruiai
Vote of Snyder, and the second choice OF
Norlhum berland.
Mr.. Lawson has Northumberland.
Mr.. Patterson has Juniata, and the
Delegates Of Snyder.
Dauphin has yet TO act.
tHM Mothers.in-law are often more par
tial TO adopted sons than TO natural ones.
