ole people soon the altar of our fortunes. Everything that our people have, whether of life of property, is freely offered — nay, is urged upon the Government. They demand but one thing — the free and prompt use of those invaluable gifts in behalf of what is more valuable — their liberties. It cannot be doubted that the Government will be inspired by such a spirit of devotion, and that the higher qualities of a nobler cause, and of a patriotic devotion to defend our homes which produce greater endurance, and greater sacrifices, will eventually rod back this ruthless and wicked invasion, and fealty establish us a nation worthy of the world's respect. I believe it to be my duty, gentlemen, to proceed at once to Richmond, and propose to do so by to morrow morning's train. This will render it impossible for me to accept your kind invitation to see and address you and my fellow-townsmen generally in a more formal mander. Most respectfully, Your fellow citizen. W. L.
