Captain Resser's Rangers.

Capt. Rosser has returned from a visit to Patrick, Henry and Franklin, with a complement for his company. We cannot bestow too much praise on the above named counties. In Patrick, Henry and Franklin, these names yet arouse the kindred feeling that electrified the bosoms of Henry and Franglin in the first war for independence, and the same pure and patriotic spirit still burns in these mountainous counties that will urge on the present contest to a result more glorious than that which witnessed our national birth when the British lion, crushed beneath the sharp talons and spreading wing of the young eagle of America.

The company consists of at least 75 gentlemen of high character and efficiency, raised in these counties, whose honor and strength will sustain them in any contest, be it ever so Serce or long, as they are sure shots, fine riders, and have the flattest steeds. Among the high-toned gentlemen whose liberality is as boundless as their patriotic honor, who contributed to aid this company, may be mentioned Millard and Dr. Hals, of Franklin, Marshall Hairston, of Henry, and Samuel Hairston, of Patrick.
