From St Louis Era, Aug. all
We understand that a considerable number of respcc-
gage an immediate expedition against Santa Fe pro.
vidcd they shall be called to do by the proper
thority There in this CITY, and in other places in
this State many respectable citizens who derous OF
leading participating in such campaign officers,
aud many others willing to fill the ranks soldiers.
We understand that preliminary informal arrangements
have been made to organize voluntary militia regi
ment at this place. consist of from 500 to 800 men, and
to he raised with view to march CT in very short time
and engage in active campaign to submit TO strict
military discipline, and to enter the service, to
leave the frontier in October and strike blow a Santa
Fe early in Deceu ber. 1t is said that Major Bogy and
considerable number of the officers and prvaes in the
militia regiment are willing to engage in the measure,
and that other persons in other Companies would also
cheeriuly join regiment to be thus raised, and
that ntimatons have been received from other places
the State of willingness to cooperate in the Campaign
The regiment would be raised with the understanding
that intended FOR immediate actual hard service and
that person should join who is not prepared to submit
to the hardshps and the rigid discipline Of regular
army. II would require bold hardy active men, who do
not fear fatigue exposure, or danger II Is supposed
that regiment Of such men starting from this place
with such additional forces as may be obtained ABOUT
and the other mountain establishments, could
take Santa Fe. They should be ready to march from
frontier by the middle Of October and in month
they might be in the vicinity of the Mexicans If Mr..
Polk will give the proper authority to the proper menre
gatdless OF avortsma blow may be struck speedI
~ that will count well in the There are a number
of western men who would conduct such ex pedon
even more effectively than the regular army
