New ORLEANS. MAY

New ORLEANS, MAY IL, 1916.
Messrs. GALES a. SEAToN: The papers of the
morning will give you the details Of the news pei
steamship from Galveston. General TAYLOR, you
will perceive, has carried out his plan of going with
the main body Of his army to bring up his supplies
from Point Isabel, and we shall now feel the great
est anxiety to hear of his safe return. He looks
forward to hard fighting on his way back, but
learn that he feels full confidence in his success
The Mexicans, think, have shown great judg-
ment in allowing him to proceed to Point Isabel
without molestaton, as it afforded them an oppor-
tunity Of attacking and trying capture his forti-
fed camp with weakened garrison, by which, il
they were successful, they would have vast adj
vantage over him when he returned, and also they
could annoy and harass his forces with more ad-
vantage and probability of success on his return
route, incumbered as he would be by two or three
hundred loaded wagons.
| augur favorably from the fact Of General TAY-
intending to return forthwith with his force for
if he entertained any doubt OF his ability to force
his way, he would have waited the reinforcements
which would so soon be at Point Isabel from hence
About sixteen hundred men have already been ac-
tually mustered into the service at this place
Such portion OF them composed OF our
uniform companies arc probably nearly as efficient
as the regulars, they are nearly or quite as well
disciplined, and are far superior in intelligence to
the rank and file Of the army The new recruits
will be serviceable, whilst they are under drill in
performing garrison duty, scouting parties, and IA
tigue men, relieving the regulars in these respects
and thus allowing all the latter to muster in the line
of battle; and the new volunteers will soon be in
sufficient drill and discipline to take up their sta
ton and do good service in the field.
Three steamboats, full Of volunteers have lett here

and confidence. presume the whole quota mus
now be full, and thatn no draft will be required. a
regiment OF mounted gunmen rapidly organizing

marches by land, from the western Parishes.
Our Texan neighbors do not appear to have re.
sponded to Gen. Taylor's call. Instead of two
hundred men, reported, having gone from Gal
weston, only fifteen went. II is said, however, they
are organizing in the interior.
see no alternative now for the Government but
at once TO collect effective force of eight or ten
