IN YONCAJLLA.
Mr.. Editoh: On tho 13th Inst., the
day appointed for the nbovo purpose, tho
pcnplo nsscmbled nt the Yoncnlla Institute.
Though the day was unpleasant, the
houso was full. Mothers were tbcro to
give their approving smiles to tholr patri
otic sons. Wives, to yield their husbands
to do battle In n noble caup, and young
beauty, to welcome, the bravo to the path
of honor.
Exercises were begun by the reading of
President Lincoln's Inaugural, the farewell
address of Gen. Alvord, nnd a written
speech. After n patriotic song by tho la
dies, tho Hon, P. 0. Parker took tin
stand, nud for more than an hoar poured
forth a perfect stream of fervid and patri
otic eloquence, calling forth round after
round or cpplauso rrotn the excited audi
ence. Mrs. Jesse Applegatc then caused her
fair daughter Sallle to read a short address
to tho Indies, Informing them that they,
too, had a duty to perform for their coun
try, and wero none tho less interested in
tho preservation of Its noble institutions
than tho sterner sex. This little address
(a copy or which I herewith enclose) had
tho happiest effect. Every lady present
signed her name to tho roll or tho Chris
tian Commission, nud pledged lrseir to
contrlbuto monthly, such offering ns she
was able, to its funds, until this cruel war
Is ended. Another national nlr was sung
by the ladles, nud when tho young soldier
took tho stand to invito his old friends,
schoolmates nnd relatives to follow him
to where foes were to be met nnd glory
won, it appeared tho very spirit ofelo
qnenco fell from his lips upon an electrified
nudlcnco his burning words came direct
ly from his heart, nnd went to the hearts
of his hearers. It was a proud day ror
him J a proud day for Yoncalla I When
ho concluded, nnd tho young ladies march
ed with waving banners to the tune of
" Rally round tho flag, boys," igin of
our best and bravest young men fell into
line, and tho old and decrepld shed tears
that they too could not Join the glorious
procession.
The precinct voted 61 at the last elec
tion it will turn out more than half that
number or soldiers.
God bless Yoncalla her people nro as
truo to duty and patriotism as the needlo
to the poles Coi.
