The YAzoo Cry VoLUNrEERs. When
the news reached US Of the 6rst skirmish
between the United States and Mexican
troops, the gallant and patriotic young men
of our town and vicinity Immediately form
cd a volunteer company and rendered their
services 10 Governor Brown @ march im-
rediately 20 the Rio Grandeur defence of
their country. For three weeks hos his
company been kept in suspense, expecting
daily arcqdistion from che GOsernoT for
their services, bot, alas, no call has been
made, and disappointed iniheir xpCctstiOhs,-
mortified at the singular conduct Of The
GovcTnor and tired Of constant drill, whieh
they thought was useless. this gallant
band numbering some sixty OF seventy rank
and fle, disbanded themselves on Tuesday
morning last. We regret that this has been
done, rorwe know that better drilled corps
or one that would do their country more
service could not eOier Gen. Tayloi'sarmy.
Our citizens, too, with that patriotic spirit
so characteristic OF them, nohly came for
ward and subscribed about Eve hundred
dollars for equpping the company aad pay.
ing tho bOaTd Of the young men who came
from the country and joined the company;
all this is now loss TO our citizens, 0ui
efficient Acknowledgment Captain J, j.
Hughes aud Captain A, II. Morton Of the
country, have devoted their entire Tine to
the drilling Of this corps--alI Of which has
proved, comparatively Of nS beneli', owing
to the inactivity and womaneh conduct Of
Governor Brown.
GovERNOR BRowN.-TRe course pursu-
cd by Governor Brown inrefusing to cons
ply with the requisitiou Of Gen. Gaines for
troops from this State, until he could hear
from President Polk or Secretary Marcy,
meets, we believe, with universal condem.

and patriotism Of MississpPians 70 sec the

Kentucky and Missouri, an complying viii
the requisition Of Gen. Gaines, and hurry.

all Of Gen. Taylor,whle we, who are On.the
very border Of the conflict are compelled
by The objectionable and ally conduct o.
cur Governor, to sit with our arms folded
and Tool, with calm serenity upon the bloody
conflicts that are going on at our very doors
and lulled 70 sleep by the rOaI Of cannon
From the position assumed by Gov. Brown
10 the present case we must infer that shoulC
an enemy invade our State, We must let ou
towns he burned and the country ravisheC
until the Governor our commander.ln-chef

cuPied in the days Of Abraham; and though
1t has, no doubt, seen many vicissitudes, itS
population is still very considerable, aud it's
trade is still very extensive. Damascus is
called by the orientals, ga pearl surround

beautiful than its position, whether ap.
preached from Aleppo or Hannah. For
many miles the city is girdled By fertile
fields' or gOrdehs as they are called, which
being watsrcd by rivers and sparkling
streams, give to the vegetation, consisting
principally Of olive trees, a remarkable
freshness and beauty. Though the trade
Of Damascus was very considerable, it has

him that there are, at all times, class Of

To all such he will give cheerful welcome,
