In case of being called into service they will be required to bring such arms as they may have, until they can be furnished by the State. The war has begun! It may reach our shores! Who in Texas will shrink from his duty in such a crisis? We invoke the spirit not only of 1776, but of 1836, to arouse from its slumber, and again assert the independence of Texas. The misrule of Black Republicanism would scarcely be less fatal to our interests than that of Mexican intolerance. We have shaken off the one; let us manfully repel the other. The order is accompanied by other similar ones, necessary to carry it into effect. The alarm signal for the assembling of the city troops will be first a fire alarm, and secondly after an interval of one minute, six taps of the

(Cheers.) The year 1861 would stand side by side with 1776. We began to exist in 1776, to-day we were in our manhood.

The disasters of which we hear are only the gentle discipline of our Father, for our good, to teach us how to snatch victory on greater fields. (Cheers.) The Confederates have put themselves where our leading General wished to put them — flanked by the mountains and the sea. The sons of Maine are willing to see the flag he presented to the regiment returned soiled with blood, but not soiled with the soil of Virginia.--Col. Berry took the flag and waved it. It was saluted with thousands of cheers. He then tendered his sincere thanks. He could not wait to make a speech, but he would say (mounting the stand)--Men of the Fourth Regiment, shall this flag ever trail in the dust? (

The beginning of this sacred song is: No battle-brand shall harm the free, Led on by Christ our Liberty! This was succeeded by Psalm CXLVII., read by the minister and people; lesson from the Old Testament — the Promised Land — Deut. VIII.; chanted Psalm — Cantate Domino; lesson from the New Testament — Christ weeping over Jerusalem — Matt. XXIII.; and Gloria in Excelsis. The subject of Dr. Osgood's brief extempore discourse was God with nations, in which he showed that the august feature of modern civilization was the consecration of nationality.

The Legislature of Georgia in both branches to-day adopted Linton Stephens's peace resolutions, earnestly recommending that our government, immediately after every signal success of our arms, when none can impute its action to alarm instead of a sincere desire for peace, shall make to the government of our enemy an official offer of peace, on the basis of the great principle declared by our common fathers in 1776, accompanied by the distinct expression of a willingness, on our part, to follow that principle to its true logical consequences, by agreeing that any Border State whose preference for our association may be doubted, (doubts having been expressed as to the wishes of the Border States,) shall settle the question for herself, by a convention to be elected for that purpose, after the withdrawal of all military forces on both sides from her limits. They also adopted his resolution declaring th
