Sir respectfully enclose herewith field return
Of the forces in and near Matamoros, both regular
and volunteer The corps known to have arrived
at Point Isabel OF which no returns have yet been
received will carry the entire force under my
ders, TO nearly 5000 men. ] am necessarily detnin-
ed at this point for want of suitable transportation
TO carry offensive operations. There is not
steamboat at my command proper for the navga-
ton of the Rio Grande aud without water trans
portation, consider il useless TO attempt any
iensye movement
Measures have been taken to procure boats Of
suitable draft and description, and one or two may
be now expected, In the meantime, propose TO
push battalion Of infantry far as Reinosa, and
occupy that town. For any operations in the d.
recton of Monterey. it will be necessary TO esiab-
ish large depot at Camargo, which shall lose no
time in doing as soon as proper transports arrive,
unless / receive counter instructions from the de-
partment.
trust that the department will see that could
not possibly have anticipated the arrival Of such
heavy renforcemenis from Louisiana as are now
here, and on their way hiiher. Without large
means Gf Transportation, this force will embarrass
rather than facilitate operations. cannot doubt
that the department has already given Instructions
based upon the change Of our position since my
first call for volunteers.

am, nevertheless disposed TO believe that in some
quarters at least our presence is not unfavoraby
ceived. We have no intelligence from the city Of

to light.

WAR; WAR;

War with all its dread consequent
ces is in our land The soil of the
United States, the home Of liberty, has
become the theatre Of the dire ravages
Of ruthless invaders. Our common
country loudly calls US to the
field, and nobly has that call been an
swered. From each State, country
and town, is heard the warIike tread of
marshalling hosts. The chivalrous
State of Mississippi is pouring forth her
sons to the battle plains, to do or die.
Our town is awakened from the listless
monotony Of everyday transactions,
to the spirit stirring music Of the fife
and drum, and the martial array Of
her Volunteer Corps, commanded by
the brave, gallant, and generous leader
in many well fought field, Gen. A. B.
BRADFORD. Without distinction OF par
ty, and by common consent. has North
Mississippi turned upon this man TO
lead them on to deeds Of daring. We
will not here descant upon claims to
command, or his warrior worth. His
own good sword in the battles Of his
country, has carved his name high in
his conntry's estimation, and his man,
ly and generous bearing has deeply en-
deared him TO the hearts Of the people
The archives of the War Department
bear ample testimony Of his bravery
skill and ability while commanding the
Tennessee Volunteers in the Florida
Campaign. Twice has General BRAD
FORD, while commander Of a Major
Generals Division in the militia, vol
unteered as private in the ranks, anC
still, in his very word and action does
he speak forth that memorable motto
of Decatur, "MY COUNTRY ALWAYS"

BETTER THAN BEAUTY.
BY c. SWAIN


My love is no: beauty
TO other eyes than mine;
Her curls are not the fairest,
Her eyes are not divine;
Nor yet like the rose buds parted,
Her lips of love may be;
But though she's not beauty,
She's dear as one TO me.
Her neck is far from swan-like,
Her bosom unlike snow;
Nor walks she like a deity
This breathing world below;
Yet there's a light of happiness
Within, which all may see;
And though she's not a beauty,
She's dear as one 10 me.
lwould not give the kindness,
The grace that GweIls in HER,
For all that Cupid's blindness
In others might prefer!
| would not change her sweetness
For pearls of any sea.
For better far than beauty,
Is one kind heart to me2
