SIR have the honor apprise you that hostilities
have actually commenced between my forces and those
of the Mexicans and that have need of the services
of considerable number of volunteers. Four regi-
mens have been called from Texas but as there will
be considerable delay in assembling them here, and
my further operations will require still stronger force,
have the honor, under the authority of the War De-
partment to call upon the State of Louisiana for four
regiments of Infantry, to be ordered into service with
the utmost DESPATCH and for the longest period auho-
rized by law.
shall communicate Immediately with Gen. Gaines,
and request him to give you every facility in the or
ganization and equipment of these troops and for
wardng them to Point Isabel. | subion the organi-
cation of regiment of Volunteers, and respectfully
deare that it may be Observed and that the number
of prescribed officers be not exceeded The battaions
may be mustered into service at New Orleans or at
may be sent forward rapidly they be raised.
would suggest that Brigadier General be COM
missioned to command the force called from Louisiana,
and from my experience Of his excellent qualities as
an officer would be particularly gratifed if General
Persifor F. Smith could be selected for such appoint
ment.
cannot doubt that the gallant State of Louisiana
will respond with alacrity this call upon the patr
otism of her sons. and feel every that
effort will be wanting the part of the State autho-
rites organize the force and have it in readiness
embark at the earliest practicable moment.

Extract of letter from Major Thomas, U. S. A.,
dated Point Isabel, April 9th, to Lieut. Col Hunt
Depy Or. Master General, U. S. A.
We have some eighty regulars here to guard this
depot. We have upwards of 300 operatives in the

now organizing into Battalion, under the immedi-
ate command of Major McRae, Captains Sibley and
Hill, Of the Or. Master Department.
In addition to this force, the Suffers, &C., have a
company of near hundred, so that we can muster
nearly 500 fighting men-not disciplined to be sure,

left here the Both ult., on board the New York,
have arrived at Point Isabel.

BEANS AMONG CORN.

There are different opinions as to the u
ility Of raising beans among corn. Some
farmers say that they have proved by exper.
'ments that the crop of corn is injured more
Than the value Of the bean crop, taking into
consideration the extra labor. Others think
that the beans do no essential injury to the
corn, that the extra labor on account of
beans is but trife, and that six or eight
bushels Of beans to the acre, may be rails.
ed with very little trouble.
AS to these mixed crops, much depends
on the manner in which the rows are plan.
ted, the mode Of cultivation, and the kind Of
beans. 1.-THE corn be planted in hills tOl.
erably far apart, and the cultivatOr, plough
Or harrow be used on y one way between
the rows, beans that have small tops and
leaves, so that they will shade but little,
may be raised with little extra labor, and
with but little disadvantage to the corn crop
and the beans may be an item Of considera.
bic Importance.
Beans should be placed on the north side
Of the corn hill, and some ten or twelve in.
ches from ii. The large white bean, prop
erly called Bremen, but under various
names, and the Merrimachec, in shape,
size and color, similar to the white Gran.
berry, are good varieties to raise among
corn. They are early and productive, and
Of fairquality; they do not shade much
The small white beans will sell better in
the market, but they are later, and far more
shady, have more vines and leaves.-BOs.

COOKING ASPARAGUS.

TO be first rate, the stalks should be
grown from four to ok inches iiOaI ths
ground, and fresh cut. Wash the talks
clean, and cat them in bits about half an
inch long. 1.-THE stalks are Of did,rCnt
sizes, cut the large ones shorter than the
small ones, so as to give them an equal
chance TO boil and get seasoned. The
cock should throw aside the stalk as soon as
Il begins to cut tough that is, she is 10 use

which is sufficient to boil one quart of the
pieces in. Have the water boiling when
the asparagus is pat in, and keep it boiling

to know when it is cooked enough, is to

this is done, pour the asparagus over and
around the toast, and strew the rest Of the
butter as evenly over it as possible, when it
is ready for the table. If however, the
