j'v. Lut Saturday wu day long te hs membered hi oor loan. Early in the more ing squad after squad, and scure after score upon score of our loyal citixeiia might be seen pouring into wrtu for the purpose of enrolling themselves ai soldieri of the Union. By twelve oclock, not leas than Are hundred had assembled. Three full companies were organised by friend Killian, tha Enrolling Officer, which, if courts kept him quite buoy during the day.

William Wilkinson wu olecied Captain of Company A. Robert hi. Brewer Captain of Company Ik, and C-uiirad Ockes Captain of Company C. Already from eight hundred to one thouraud bare been enrolled. Wiihin a few days a full regiment of at leat one thousand men will be completely organized.

We claim that she is the banner uuion county of the Stale. Such ia the home of Hun. Juhn W. Noell, our Representative in Congress Within the limits of Perry county tho citi sens are as loyal as their representative, They were auiutig the first to take up arms in defencs of their government and tlieir hemes.

Within their limits no loyal man has len assassinated or murdered, because they defended themselves with their own strong arms and brave hearts. We are told that some rebel sympathizers hold lock, There are a few such in the county. Their names are preserved and will be sent to Headquarter for future action. We are told that between eighty and one hundred have clsimed esempuon, as rebel sympathizer! and gave up their anna, under Order No. ill.

They are to lie pitied. In the evening Hon. John W. Noell wsi called upon by the people fur a speech. He responded as only John W.

Noeii ean respond to the honest patriotic people uf the country. He commenced by saying that to us who have eo long been accustomed to isace, and to boundless prosperity and happiness, under a government felt only its blessing, the iceues around ua are urange and unnatural. That it became ua to in quire what dreadful influence had wrought so sudden a change. He ghen proceeded la answer the inquiry, by examining all the pretests for the rebellion and showed, by the public history of the couutry that, so far from the action of the Federal Government being oppressive to the slave States, that it had been peculiarly favorable from the adoption of the Constitution down to the moment the rebellion broke out. He declared that tha safety of slavery wtu only in pretext, that its real raaie was long settled determination on the part of Southern leaden to get rid of a Dewocra tic or peoples government, aud to inaugurate soother, more aristocratic and far better adapted to enralier ideas.

One in which property and not people should be the basis power. In the course of his remarks defined the term tho wire duties ami obligations uf the government and the citizen. lie said the citizen enjoyed the benefits and protection of the government. Tlieir rights of person and of property were protected. All their advantages in life they owed to the protecting power of the government.

In consideration of this protection, the citizen was bound to derole to the preservation of tbat government, hi life, his property and his sacred honor. That when enemies attempted to destroy the government, it would nut du for the citizen to be neutral or inactive. Such a position rank treason. Hu said secessionists complained sometimes that they were treated harshly by the government aud by the Uuion men. He declared that no enemy of the United States had a right to live wilbtn her limits.

ThA thry were permitted to lire here and enjoy all the rights of citizens, under our iawa, was an act of grace aud intguauiinity, un-paralellad iu history. Gen. Noell put the question, suppo I go to Sooth Carolina or Georgia, where rebel power is absolute, and undertake to decry the rebellion, pounce the whole moreraeut and penuade the people back to their allpgiaucc, wbat would become me I I should be hanged without a trial. And yet complain if we ask thorn to dasislt from their miichiavioaa aud treaaonabla hers. It would be impossible for us to uotiea all tho points of the ablo and patriotic speech.

It was received with bums uf applause by the large audience. It would be idle for us to eulogize Gen. Noell now.
