A request having been made by
Governor Brown to the proper officers
to enroll the Militia of this State, the
"Monticcllo Cavalry" mustered on
Thursday. There was quite gener.
al turn out, and with but few exccp-
tons they came forward and attached
their names to the volunteer roll. Or
ders have been issued for General
Muster Of the Fourth Regiment TO-
day; we anticipate a large assemblage,
and shall set down the number of vo-
lunteers at one hundred and tuenty.
Should requisition for troops-whicb
is not at all improbable-be made on
this State, "Old Lawrence will fur
nish her quota without submitting 10
a draft. The Maj. Generals staff
will be organized forthwith, and all
vacancies,we trust be promptly filled.


o. We here append the brief but
patriotic and spirited instrument
which was signed by the volunteers:


Citizens of Lawrence County!


The soil Of our country has been
invaded and the blood Of American
Freemen has been split by the arms
Of the ruthless invader:


To arms! is the cry. Shall we a.
venge the injury, and wipe out the in.
suit upon our national character, or
pocket the insult and repose in dis.
grace? Let it never be said that Old
Lawrence has disgraced her sons:


And we the undersigned, members
cflhe Monticello Cavalry Company,
voluntarily pledge ourselves to our
country and to each other, that we
will forthwith repair to the Battle
Field when calleAupon BY our Con-
mandrr-in.chief. aud show ourselves
worthy descendants of the Heroes OF
the Revolution.
