Patriotic address.
We have had on the for some days a very patriotic and able address from the Hon. Wm. L. Goggin, of Bedford, for which we have been unable to make room in cur columns.
This fine address was delivered on the occasion of the departure of a volunteer company (the Wharton Artillery) for the seat of war. The ceremony took place on the 12th inst.; and the length of time that has elapsed is a reason for omitting now an account of it, even were our columns sufficiently relieved to give place to it. The address is honorable to its author for its noble sentiments of fealty to the State and to the South, and the spirit of chivalry and constancy in the national defense which pervades it.
