Gen. Taylor is brave, experienced and
wary soldier. He has seen as hard SER
vice as any to which our troops have been
exposed A requisition from such an Otii-
Ger would not be made except upon urgent
occasion. He has called upon Louisiana
for qupta of men for immediate and hon.
orable service, and we are quite sure that
the call will not be made in vain. The Lee
gislature ofth State has answered. first,
and a sum Of money, now in the Treasury
has been appropriated for the equipment
and conveyance Ofthe necessary reinforce

Detachments Of our regular forces have
been cut off; the blood Of brave men has
been shed the lives Of gallant officers sac
rifced; the main army is surrounded by an
enemy, thrice as numerous and the Amer
lican forces beseiged in their camp whilst
Their supplies arp intercepted. They may
be compelled 10 capitulate from starvation
or forced to take the field under the most
inauspicious circumstances. In a case like
this it would be a sore reProach to the pat

as transports could be got ready to take
