            PALMETTO RIFLEMEN--We are highly gratified that the appeal we made in our first issue in behalf of the formation of this corps, was not altogether in vain, and that the spirit necessary to its success has been reawakened with some of our young men, who are determined to organize speedily, if possible, and have the Company in full blast at an early day.  Let others emulate their example at once, and we shall have no delay in reaching the desired object.

            Those who wish to participate in the organization of the Company should hasten to enroll their names, as it is confidently expected that a sufficient number will be obtained within a fortnight to call a meeting for that purpose.  It will be recollected that the uniform is to be of Southern manufacture entirely.  All other particulars can be obtained, as we have before stated, by calling at the office of W. W. HUMPHREYS, Esq.
