New Orleans, May III, lS45
Sin: The rumors from the seat Of war, contained
IN the enclosed papers, suggest the prop
remarks which follow!
l. Ii ia very desirable that General Taylor may
have suspended his movement from Point Isabel Ia
his fortified encampment near Matamoras, until
joined by the two companies of artillery from Pen
sacola, and several companies Of volunteers from
this city and from Texas, who, think, must have
been at Point Isabel by the evening Of the 7th inst.
Be this as il may, however, this movement will be
likely to afford to the general an opportunity of
testing the actual strength and chivaly of his antag
oOists, and therefore it cannot fail to be attended
with important results. That he will surely tri-
umph over the numerous forces opposed TO him |
confidently believe; but his loss will probably be
considerable.
2 Under this and every other view that can be
taken Of the subject, It Is obvious to me that no
time should be lost in the concentration of Tennes-
see, Kentucky, and other volunteers TO the Rio
Grande.
3. Convinced as am that Mexico would not
dare to commence hostiliues without having been
encouraged by British agents. with the hope Of help
from the British navy, there is to apprehend
that the ports of Texas may be soon blockaded. In
this event, We shall have no other means of sending
TO the Rio Grande reinforcements supplies than by
land uid Fort Jesup. This would embauass us
greatly. To obviate in some degree the great evil
Of being confined to this route, and to have some
of that most efficient force which marked the char
acter of Gen. Jackson's and Generals Coffee's and
Carols corps have determined to invite into the
service several regiments of mounted gun men, to
rendezvous at Fort Jesup in the present month, and
TO press forward from thence to the Rio Grande,
through Texas. The battalion Of the LIST infantry
embarked for Point Isabel on the evening of the
9th, with three companies Of Louisiana volunteers,
in fine health, and ready for action.

SIR: My several communications to you, (the
last Of which dated the 30th ultimo, could not have
been received when yours Of the 24th was written
supersede the necessity OF reply TO IL in detail
Admitting what you take for granted, that General
Taylor was under your immediate command before
he received orders TO go into Texas, and even as
suming, as you do, that after he passed with his
forces by orders from this department beyond the
clearly defined limits of your division, he might be
regarded as part Of your command, Ian assump.
ton not at all warranted by the facts OF the case)
these considerations have, in my judgment, very
little no bearing upon the question IN relation to
your procedure in making the requlsiton for the
Louisiana militia, and would not, u the President
could adopt your views thereon, affect his opinion
upon that act.
The views Of this department relative to the ser
vice and military operations in Texas having been
fully explained, presume there will be no longer
any misapprehenslons on the subject.

.Nsio Orleans, Nay 3d.-Genera Gaines informed
me, at 8 o'clock, a. M, that he intended to send
troops from Fort Pike, Wood, and Pensacola, to
Brazos Santiago, and directed me to assist in the
movement. Saw Colonel Hunt, deputy quarter
master general, and recommended that the mail
steamer Fashion should be Immediately chartered
and sent to Fort Pike and Wood, and thence to
Pensacola, in order to transport the troops direct to
Rrazos Santiago. The owners Of the steamer
charged $4,000 for one month, or $4,000 for q
single trip These exorbtant demands were reject
ed Suggested to General Gaines that a requisition
he made on Commodore Latimer, commanding ma
val forces at Pensacola, for the steam frigate Mis-.

troops, and with an additional number Of boats, to
assist in the landing Of the troops generally. A re-
QUESTION was made accordingly, and an order given

SIR: Since my letter to you of the 18th ultimo,
have received yours Of the 2lst and god Of May,
from which it appears that you contemplate send
ing General Taylor ga few more regiments of
mounted gun men," and that under the belief of
more extended military operations, you give cncour
agement to volunteers that they will soon be called
into service, which will probably lead them to make
immediate preparations, and to incur expenses with
that view.
As you were instructed, in my letter Of the 2sth
nltimo your action in calling for receiving voun
ment and beyond the acquisitions Of Gen. Taylor,
is wholly unauthorized and illegal, and you are
again instructed, not only to stay all such proceed
ings but to recall any requsitions you have made,
and act no further upon the subject without special
authority first had from this department.
The Louisville Legion having been accepted with
the understanding that they are to form part Of
the quota Of volunteers to serve twelve months,
unless sooner discharged, called for by this depart
ment from Kentucky, you will cause them to be
sent forward with all despatch to Point Isabel, d
rected in my letter Of the 18th ult.

P. s. Since writing the above, it is understood
that staff appointments, such as paymasters, quar-
termasters inspectors, &c, have been conferred by
You on citizens. Such appointments are altogether
Illegal and will not be confirmed or recognised; nor
will the assignment of staff duties, of any descrip-
tion TO citizens be recognised or sanctioned.

SIR Apprehending that the bad treatment which
the volunteers of this city, (called out by me last
summer,) experienced from those who were entrust-
ed with the power of ordering their payment, but
who have left them illuminated and unpaid, might
retard or defeat present attempt to obtain volun
teers in this State, have taken measures to desire
the governors of several of the neghborng States to
anticipate the call which am sure the President will
now authorize, and at once to obtain a few compa-
MES at Mobile For this purpose deemed it proper
to avail myself of the services Of that accomplished
officer, Major Chase, of the corps Of engineers
whose equal, in point of efficiency and practical mill
tary mind have seldom if ever seen among the Off
GERS of his age or rank since the brilliant scenes Of
the years 1873 and 1914, presented to my admira-
ton, and that Of the army, the gaantry and extra

To the memorandum Of Major Chase, refer you
for report Of the late patriotic and chivaric move
ments at Mobile. Since his departure from that
city have learned that five beautiful companies
were prepared to embark direct to Point Isabel. |

lowed by several others in the course Of this evening
