ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
We learn that letters have been received by Cen
eral Brooke from the War Department, entirely sp-
proving his acts in raising, equipping, and mount
ing the two companies lately mustered into service
under Captains Besancon and Fairchld, and aAl-
thorising him to make further requsition upon
the Governor Of the State for three companies Of
mounted men. These will be equipped and mount
ed like the two former companies. The requisi-
ton understand has already been made for the ad-
tonal companies AID the Governor will call for them at
once. 1t s supposed that the companies will be very
readily raised-say from the city and two from the
interior The theatre of their services will be the coun5
try back Of Vera Cruz whittier large will be sent
from different parts Of the States 1t is supposed that
nearly two thousand men Of all arms will bv upon the
line between Vera Cruz and Jaapa acting In easure
Independent of Gen Scott's immediate command keep
ing open esoorting trains and lighting
guerilas The service will be active and exciting, and
we should suppose attractive to the class Of vun
teers 1t is great point gained to be equipped and
mounted by the Government We hope to ses Louisi-
ana coming forward In response to this call upon
her with her accustomed alacrity and spirit.N
