On Tuesday evening, the gallant Capt.
May, having been recognized in the pit Of the
Orleans Theatre, drew forth the most enthu-

highest degree-handkerchiefs waving, hands
applauding, &c, &c.,-in the middle of which,
the Orchestra struck up "Hail Columbia!"

NOW is THE TIME.

The time of the volunteers of Ohio who
left last June, for the war going on between
our country and Mexico is about out, in con-
sequence of which, Ohio has again been call
ed upon FOR eleven companies, nine of which
are already raised. The patriotism OF Ohio,
althoogh belied by the representatives in the
Senate and Congress, isyet alive and in ac-
tive operation. The stars and stripes will
ever find those IN Ohio who are always ready
to sarifce the last drop of blood in their de-
fence.
Bills have oeen printed and arrangements
made for the purpose of completing com

counties. The inducements, besides the
honor of defending our country, are great

v i'll have chance to do SO for few days by
reporting themselves at Colonel ANDREW
McELVAIN'S House, Upper Sandusky,
where arrangements have been made for sub
sisting the company until ready to march.
The volunteers who went to fight our bat
ties have fully sustained the favorable opin
ions our people held in relation to their valor
and patriotism. They were found ready
whenever called upon, to fight in the midst
OF the battle, and never faltering from their
duty. They have established highly honor

IN language of praise IN the history of our
country. Those who have fought the battles
Of our country will long be remembered by
all true Americans, while those advocating the
side of the enemy will he sunk into forget
fnlness. Let it be remembered, and see how
many Of these men who charge this war up
on the President, will in few years claim to
have been the first men in its defence. Some
of them will even claim to have been upon
the plains of Mexico and fought our battles
and gained our victories, but mark and tell
