MoAE VOLUNTEERS ARRIyED.--A splendid COM
Pany OF volunteers arrived here on Saturday on
board the Cora, from Natchitoches, under the com
mand OF Capt John Wadde the other officers are
J. Dorlin, first lieutenant A. p. Staring, second
Lieutenant and Brig. Sur, DIR. w. p. Rayburn.
sr,LL THEY coMt.---The COneordia, Capt Golsee,
which arrived yesterday, brought down Capt. C..
3. hleroan, and Lieuts. Hynds, Kierkimmon and
ohumard, from the parish OF Madison, with 81 vol
unteers for Mexico.
Yesterday morning two full companies arrived
here from Mobile. They appear to be and body
oil men, anxious to proceed at once to the scene Of
action.
Shortly after their arrival another company land.
ed at the eyee from Lafourche having been brought
down on board the steamboat Fame. IL will thus
be perceived, that should the $4,000 men be actual
~ demanded by Congress, there is very little doubt
OF the whole number being completed in a short
time from the southern and western States.
From the N. o. Daily TrOpc, May Is.
The MEXICAN WAIVE ought to have at least
twenty-five thousand troops as soon as possible on
the Mexican frontier. If we can destroy the pres
eht Mexican force on the Rio Grande, cut them off
from retreatng back into the Interior and COM
petely annihilate 1t, the war will be at AN end II
We DO not pursue course thus energetic il may be
continued for ten years. Maj Gen. Gaines has
shown himself TO be Of singular foresight
lie has for years laid down the consequences OF a
necessary TO prosecute it with energy.
From n. o. Commercial Bulletin May Is
The four regiments called for by Gen. Taylor
were fully organized enrolled into the service Of the
United States, armed, clothed, and completely
equipped, in the short space Of ten days-a remar-
kably short period when every circumstance is con-
sldered. AT the time Of the governors proclama-
ion not a soldier existed such, nor corporal,
nor sergeant, nor Lieutenant, nor a captain. Men
had -. h.. ..s.I. =. l.

GERS the officers Of ten companies had TO be chosen
and commissioned prior TO the organization of q
regiment Clothing had to be found for the men,
already rendered scarce by the great demand. II
not ready made, workmen had TO be employed for
that purpose. Louisiana may well look with pride
upon the promputude and energy Of her sons-up-
on their generous sacrifice Of home and the par-
suits Of peace-their dsinterested and spontaneous
response 10 the call Of the gallant Taylor. Some OF
her first citizens TO be found in the ranks doing
the labor and ready for the fighting Of common
soldier, and her volunteers throughout may be
proudly designated and cherished as the flower OF
the State. Each Of the forty companies called for
much exceeds in numbers tho abstract furnished by
Gen. Taylor, and the four regiments fuller by
500 or 600 than his abstract Besides these four
regiments, there have been organized in this city,
and arrived from the interior Of the State at least
regiments and the question to-day is with the legis
lature, If every consideration Of duty and pride,
not merely as Louisianians, but as Americans
does not authorize them TO anticipate for a moment
the action Of the federal government, and afford
these brave and generous spirits the means OF
going to the field OF battle. Shall these true and
devoted patriots, who, in obedience TO the govern.
or's proclamation, suspended and closed their bust
ness, parted from their families, and made their ar
rangements for a campaign, be now informed that
they too late and be required TO return home in
disgust and modification, merely for the want Of the
formaty Of another requistion from the command
Jag generai-when IL is notorious that the war ex-
lists, and requires the services Of force
be prosecuted with the vigor which becomes a great
nation, and which will be the pride and glory Of our
republic
