who offered 10 raise a company last evening, has

LOUISIANA
Ifpublic sentiment be any test of individual mer-
it, the veteran officer, Major General Gaines may
rest content. There is but one opinion herej all
concede that the policy long since recommended by
him, in relation to Mexico, was wise and proper,
aud that il carried out It would rebound TO the glory
Of our country. The President will doubtless carry
on the war with that energy natural to his character
and to our people. -Four thousand mounted gun
men have been called for. Three thousand men
from Tennessee and Kentucky, and one thousand
from Arkansas, to rendezvous at Fulton, on Red
river An eminent mercantile house in this city is
now sending up the rations, under the direction Of
Captain Grayson, the efficient commissary stationed
here.
IL is probable a similar force has been called for
from Missouri. This force will efectually check
any hostile movement among the Cherokees or Ca
manches, and open the way to Santa Fe.

ALABAMA
The Dallas arrived on Monday last from We
tumpka, having on board about 275 volunteers from
the counties Of Talladega, Tallapoosa, and Coosa.
These troops were chiefly the hardy "boys" from
the hills. The enthusiasm of volunteering pervaded
all classes and professions. Among others we cb-
served among the rfemen who left on Thursday
Copeland the elocutlonlst who left fine class just
formed, and also in the same corps a young Metho-
dist clergyman, (Cleghorn,) who volunteered to Of
hciate as ffer. This spirit shows the deep, inbred
love of institutions and is better defence than
standing armies.
Montgomery (.ala) Journal May 81.
fine military spirit continues to animate our cit
liens, and volunteers pouring in upon US from
all parts of the State. Yesterday splendid compa-
nv called the Sumter Volunteers, under Captain
Winston, arrived here in the steamer Winona, and
were escorted to quarters. The officers are John A.
Winston captain, and D. Gibbs and w. B. Pres
ton, lieutenants. In another column will be seen a
communication from John A. Campbell, esq, a dis.
nguished lawyer of this city, proposing to raise a
regiment of infantry to serve during the war with
Mexico. 1t may not be generally known, but we
understand it is fact, that Mr.. Campbell was edu-
Gated at the Military Academy at West Point.

MISSOURI.
There are now seven companies of volunteers in
the city ready for transportation to the seat of war,
viz: the Mobile Rifle company the Sta.e Artillery;
the Montgomery Blues; the Montgomery Rihemen;
the Macon County Guards; the Dallas Volunteers;
and the Pintlala Vanguards. They number, we
suppose, over nFc hundred men. several COmpanlt y
besides are expected every moment from the inte-
rior; so that in all probability there will be full re-
giment here in few days ready for service.

OHIO.
We understand that some 800 or 900 volunteers
were inspected and mustered into service at camp
Washington yesterday. They marched through
several of the principal streets Of tho city, and per-
formed several evoutions with military precision,
under the command Of General M. S, Wade.
Among the aids active duty, we noticed young
HARRISON grandson Of the late General Har-
rlson, and fine looking young man he is.
He gave commands and executed orders with a
promptness and precision of veteran. portion
of the men were without arms uniforms; but
when armed and clothed, they will appear well as
the best Cincinnati Gaz., May20.
