The latest news from the South throws no addi-

There are no lid ngs of the army under Arista and

OF interestfrom the seat of war;
1t appears by the southern papers and letters from
our correspondents, that the operations of the Ame-
rican officers and troops are remarkably active and
energetic, and the whole South and West are full of
enthusiastic desire to enlist for the war in Texas
Il will be seen that requison has been made on
the Governor of Florida for eight hundred men, who
were to hold themselves in readiness to leave for
Texas IN the early part of the present month. The
Governor of Alabama had Also il is said, been call
ed onto furnish body of troops, the number TO be
one thousand men and Governor Brown, of Mis-
slssppl, has notified the Secretary of War that he
holds himself in readiness to furnish his share of
troops, for service when they may be wanted
There was also rumor a1oat that the State Of Tex

and arms for Texas. These additions to the force
already assembled in the Gulf will swell il TO two
hundred and fifty guns, which is probably the largest
American naval force that has ever yet been concen-
trated under one commander.
1t Is quite mystery to many what object there
can be in sending such large force to combat a
power which, though il has absolutely declared war;
still has made active demonstrations Of HOSTILE

and have to be narrowly watched or they will pick

to begin the war or not, there must be fighting In

TO be done will have to be done quickly and to the
point In fact, II Is altogether probable that order
to make an end to the matter and supercede the ne

be compelled to force Mexico into some

OF the negotiation, conclude the affair In apy
case the presence of troops and navy in the Gulf
will be OF the utmost service were there merely a
handful of them present there, the war negotiation,
or whatever else II may be called, might be dragged

are by them, they will prove unanswerable, and be
the means of terminating the whole affair with
promptness and gertrude.
