Patriotism.

--The Navarro Express is responsible for the following:

‘ A friend of ours who has been traveling through the country bunting up recruits, relates to us the following: Riding up to a house be called for a drink of water, and inquired of the lady who sent it to him if there were any young men in the neighborhood who wished to volunteer. He was told that she thought there was. During the conversation the old man came limping to the door, and heard the inquiry for volunteers, when the old lady remarked; ‘"Why, old man, you can go,"’ and turning to the recruiting officer she said, ‘"he can't get about much, to be sure, but then he can sit, in a fort and touch on cannot!"’
