that our city aud State have responded to
the call in manner which reflects the
highest credit on our people. All honor to
the noble, patriotic men, who have so
promptly volunteered TO drive back the IN
yaders May they all return to their homes
at the expiration OF their term ol service,
without anything having occurred to cast a
shade OF sorrow over the brave defenders OF
the State and nation The noble spirit
which they have cynced will be remembered
with gratitude by every lover of his country,
and loyal man. Long may they live to enjoy
in peace the bessingso of Republican liberty.
