oisville, and displayed al the marked abili-
lies which pre-eminentiy ct him for the posi-
ion for which he has boon selected. Captain
Yardloy was also connected with the First
Delaware, and shared with it in the glories
and hardships Of several well contested bat
ties. He is well fitted for the station of Ma
jor and will make good officer. Recruiting
Offices have been opened in this city, and
other parts of the State. and we would advise
young men who wish to enlist under the ban
ner of their country to do SO Immediately and
join this excellent corps. If you would get
clear of draft in our State, you must act
promptly. as but q short time will elapse be-
fore an order will come to make it, unless
our quota is filled by volunteers. In most of
the other loyal States, the citizens are re-
spending nobly to the call for volunteers, and
we hope the patriotic sons Of the Diamond
State, will remember tie gallant deeds of
their Revolutionary ancestors, and enroll
their names at once. Those men who have
served in either the Fifth or Sixth Delaware,
who may re enlist in this Cavalry will re-
ceiye the bounty of $4O2, as Veteran Volun-
tecrs. These brave men, when a hostile foe
threatened our State, n4biy left their fields
and workshops, put their armor on and went
forth to do battle in their countrys service,
I'd We anticipate that a goodly number will
jain the First Delaware Cavalry, and strike a
final and decisive blow at treason and trai-
tors. Enroll your names immediately.-
