LOCAL MATTERS.

inc ordeal this week, and having come out un-
scatbed, the company bids fair to prosper and
become one Of the permanent institutions of
the'"Queen City Of the Mountains" Soon af-
ter its organization, question arose which for
a time threatened its development. This was
on the adoption of fag-there being some
who objected to marching under the National
Banner. The question, however, was happily
settled by the parties Withdrawing their obiec-
tions to the Stars and Stripes, and signifying
their interest in the welfare of the company by
consenting to march under any flag. The flag
question very naturally gave rise to a suspicion
on the part of some of the members that all
were not as loyal to the Government as their
profession demanded; and in order to test the
Union sentiment Of the company, a resolution
was offered requiring them to take an oath to
support the Constitution. This created intense
excitement, snd for time it seemed almost
certain that theI first battle would be fought
among themselves and with such arms as ma
ture had provided them with. But the entrea-
ties and commands Of some of the cooler heads
in the company, at eT 9Th prevailed, and vote
was taken which resulted in tie, and the res
olution was then laid on the table, to be taken
up at some future time. Last night it was
again called up and adopted, with only two
dissenting votes-many Of the company having
voted in the first instance under the impression
that If they took the oath they would be liable
to be mustered into the service Of the Govern
mcnt at once. Every thing is now satisfacto-
rily arranged, and we may soon expect to see
well-drilled military company parading our
streets.
