Shorter's call for more men is meeting with a noble response, while almost every shop in the State is making pikes, knives, and other weapons with which to make the invader "bite the dust." No true man can pass through this State and mingle with the pto the fields, planting corn and doing all the out-door work, in order that their husbands, brothers, and sons may go to the war.

Manly, D, D, delivered an address, after which a collection was made accounting to three hundred and fifty dollars--Montgomery (Ala) Advertiser.
