As we announced last week, the "Silver Grays" met in Wilmore today (Wednesday,) for the purpose of organizing, and electing officers preparatory to starting for the seat of war. A number of the gallant old patriots passed through this place on last Tuesday on their way to the place of rendezvous. Several of them served their country faithfully in the late war with Great Britain and the Mexican war. Their patriotism is beyond praise, and their example is well calculated
To stir a fever in the blood of age,
And make the sinews of the youth
Wax strong as steel.
