 We also had the pleasure of meeting our fei low townsman, George A. Gallagher, recently from the Potomac. When the war broke out Mr. Gallagher, suppose as did others, that the first battle would be at Pensacola. He hied thither, but after waiting patiently, found there was no chance for a fight. The prospect ot battle on the Potomac drew him there, where he attached himself to Fagan's regiment He wzs at Manassas, but the regiment got on the ground too late to take part in the action. Stil in anticipation of a scrimmage he remained til. he lost ali hopes of fight in that quarter H. has come to the west where there IS a reasonable prospect of hard fighting, and it is said. will be attached to Gen.

Terry's battalion. We publish be low the letters authorizing him to raise these companies and to purchase arms for them.- Whenever enough men volunteer to form com pany Judge Quillin will muster them into ser vice and furnish them with arms and one suit of clothes if necessary. They will then be fur, nished with transportation to Columbus free ol expense to themselves. Their organization when perfected by themselves, will not be inter fegd with in any way whatever.
 -~ We take pleasure in recommending Judge Quilin to OUT friends throughout the State, who may be desirous of enlisting n the service.

 The union forcez regulars and volunteers, nov in the field and course of organization, amount, in round numbers, to six hundred and fifty thou sand men. It may be interesting to know what an army of this strength will consume in the of one month. We therefore append the following figures, which are strictly correct:

 The sHrpIv of candles is 292, $50 pounds each week, and of soap-7e0,000 pounds.

The act also forolds any person or corporation from buyinS these articles for purposes of speculation, and provides thai all pro visions of life shall be sold at q price not to exceed thirty three per cent. costs and charges.
