Sin: General Taylor, to whom has been commit
ted the command of the army Of occupation IN Tex
need from Texas. If such aid should be wanted, it
is not doubted that the patriotic citizens of that State
will rally his assistance with aacrity in sufficient
numbers TO enable him, in conjunction with United
States troops, to repel the invasion of Texas by
Mexico, should ii be attempted. Though our in
formation as to the force Mexico may bring into the
field for such a purpose is not very accurate, yet
there is to apprehend that it is more numer
Gus than that under the command Of Gen. Taylor,
and may, perhaps exceed his effective force, when
augmented with the auxiliary aid he may derive
from Texas. Besides, he may need additional
can be furnished him from that State. Should he
need assistance from your State, he is directed to
signify you the number and description Of troops
he may deem necessary to receive as volunteers into
service. Relying upon the zeal and public spirit Of
the gallant militia of Mississippi the government
here do not doubt that he will be promptly furnished
with such and many he may express desire
to have mustered into the service Of the United
States and it has the most perfect reliance upon
| your countenance and cooperation in organizing
and sending into Texas such volunteer force from
your State he may desire. II is necessarily LEFT

II is proper to observe, that the emergency, rem
dering such assistance from the militia of your State
necessary does not appear to have been foreseen by
Congress, and consequently, no appropriation was
made for paying them; but it is not to be doubted
that such provision will be promptly made, wher
Congress shall again assemble In order to be paid
the State troops must be mustered into service. IN
organizing companies and regiments for that pur
pose, the number of officers must be in proportion
to that of the privates. Enclosed / send you from
the Adjutant General statement Of the number
and rank Of officers for each company Of men, al
well as the regimental and staff officers, should Q
regiment Of volunteers be called for. From the
known patriotism and military ardor of the militia
of your State, il is presumed that volunteers to the
number that may be required will readily tender
their services to their country in the contemplated
emergency Should aid from your State be required
by the commanding general in Texas, it will be OF
the utmost importance that the troops should be
sen, into that State without delay. This considera'

PROSPECTUS
For Recurring and Publishing a Weekly Paper en-
titled
THE

THE NEw-Y YoRKER, Weekly Journal of Liter
ature and General Intelligence, was established
by the present Editor of The NEW ! DIRK TRIBUNE
in March, 1884. and discontinued, or rather merg
ed, on the establishment of the Weekly Tribune
in September, 1871, after having been published
just seven years and half. Having now ample
and able Literary assistance, and having recently
extended and perfected our Mechanical arrange
ments, we propose to revise and reissue 1t on and
after the lst of October, l845, on a sheet slightly
differing in size or character from the old New
Yorker. but at much lower price.
The plan of this paper will combine
l. Original Observation-Disclosures, Poems, etc.
2 Select Literature-Tales, Sketches, extracts
from new Books, etc.
3. Miscelldny-Letters from Europe and different
parts of our own Country, Statistics Anec-
dotes, &C.
4 Hints on Domestic ECONOMY agriculture, In
ventions, Recipes, &c.
5. General Intelligence Foreign and Domestic,
including Political events, Proceedings of Con-
gress, &c. &c.
This last department will be carefully prepared,
and will be as ample and varied as that of any
other Weekly paper whatever. The extensive
correspondence and other facilities for obtaining
information which we have been years engaged in
concentrating on the Daily and Weekly Tribune,
VIII enable US TO present early ana autnenuc ac-
counts of all transpiring events through this our
cheaper Weekly, from which Political essays and
all matter of parzan character will be CAREFUL
ly excluded. In fine, The New Yorker will be
simply and truly Family Newspaper of moder-
ate size and the lowest possible price. intended
for such readers either dislike Political discus
sion prefer to obtain this portion of their intel
lectual alment through the gazettes of their res
peCtive localities We intend that no matter to
which rational men Of any Political, Religious or
other persuasion object shall appear in this pa
per, though large portion of lis contents will ap-
pear also in the Weekly Tribune.
The New YORKER will be published every Sat-
urday morning, but printed and mailed on Thurs
day and Friday, as to reach as many OF It's pat
rons as possible before the Sunday rest of the
Mails. 1t will be printed on sheet of fine
white paper, identical in size and quality with that
of the Daily and Semi Weekly Tribune, (of which
this is specmen.) and afforded to the subscribers
at the low price OF ONE DOLLAR a year, payable
always in advance.
