From Orleans Independent Standard
of April 26, 1861.
The war fever is raging in Coven-
try. On last Tuesday the citizens of
that town and a few from Irasburg
and Newport, assembled at the vii
lage church to devise ways and means
to honorably uphold and defend the
flag of our country which IS now
trampled upon by the feet OF glgan-
tic mob; and to provide for the vol
unteers and their families, and see
that none of them suffer in .conse-
quence of their departure.
Mr.. H. S. Jones was called to the
chair, Hon. E. Cleveland and B. F.
Herbert were chosen vice presidents,
and A. A. Earle, secretary.
Spirited and patriotic speeches
were made by Col. D. w. Blanchard
and Rev. P H. White, who urged the
people of Coventry and Orleans coun-
ty to help maintain the honor our
state has hitherto gained, by respond
ing with alacrity to the call of the
country, and to assist in the "perilous
fight" for the honor of the "Star
Spangled Banner" and also called
upon those who remained at home to
come forward and subscribe literally
for the support of those who might
need their aid, and to guaranty that
the families of such volunteers should
suffer for nothing while they were
absent. Col Blanchard said that there
were men enough who stood ready to
peril their olives, fortunes, and their
sacred honor" provided the people
would pay what was needed. The re-
marks of both gentlemen were very
pointed, appropriate and patriotic.
At the conclusion of the remarks,
the "Star Spangled Banner" was
sung by the choir with much effect.
A call was then made upon those
who desired to enlist to repair to the
town hall, where twenty-one-goo
men and true-enrolled their names,
pledging themselves to massacre
every traitor they should meet upon
the field of battle with evidence of
treachery in their hands.-There are

ton of the Queen since the COM
mencement of the troubles, to the
deep modification and joy of their
old companions in arms, who are
mortified to know they have drilled SO
long with towards, but glad to see
them run now and not disgrace the
uniform of the company by running
in battle.
We think great credit is due to
those who have enrolled themselves,
for many have left a good paying
business, interesting families and as
sociates, at the call of duty. Let
them forever be remembered with
gratitude, and not be forgotten as
soon as they are gone which is too of
ten the reward of the poor soldier.
The following resolution was
passed:
Resolved, That there be an Execu-
tive Committee of five whose duty il
shall be to raise a fund, termed the
Military Fund, which shall be ap-
piled and expended by them for the
benefit of such persons as may volun.

Messrs. d. P. Walworth, Ira Boyn-
