"The devoted Band."
--This is the name of a new organization of Southern men who propose to devote themselves to the salvation of their country. The announcement from headquarters in Richmond says:‘ It is proposed that all who are willing to make this sacrifice shell arm themselves with a sword, two five-shooters and each, and meet on horseback, at some place to be designated, convenient for the great work in hand. Fire and a word must be carried to the houses of those who are visiting those blessings upon their neighbors. Philadelphia, and even New York, is not beyond the reach of along and brave arm. The moral people of these cities cannot be better taught the virtues of invasion than by the blazing light of their own dwellings.
