The soothing quietude of Sabbath evening last was, in this place, broken in upon by the drum and ear-piercing fife of a military company, on their way from Vermont to 'the seat of war.' The company looked, and, so far as we know, behaved well; and if the harsh sounds their egress carried to the ears of people then engaged in the worship of the Prince of Peace, will only deepen the wholesome anti-war sentiment pervading the people of Concord, and which is increasing every day, this Sabbath desecration may do more good than evil. The corps was under the command of Capt. E. A. Kimball, formerly an apprentice to the printing business, in Concord. They left in the 11 o'clock train of Monday.
