effect junction with General Taylor at San Luis Potosi,
so as TO be ready for further operations in that quarter

This is correct doubtless, as regards Donphan but un

MIR. Cameron, the senator from Pennsylvania, de-
bate before the Senate yesterday compliments just and
favorable terms the patriotic spirit Of her gallant voun
teers. In stating, however, that she has sent
company Of men to fill up the quota of chvarous Virgin

generally to the prejudice of that State 1t
that Of her captains did advertise for volunteers
in Philadelphia, and did receive recruits from
that quarter-from ten to twenty. This false
move which only be accounted for from his Excess
sive zeal to make up his company But is idle and
just to infer from this circumstance, some have i'm
agined that her regiment could not be otherwise made
out We have no fear that any State who has been
called on for her regiment will be found in this pre-
dcament SO far from this being true about Virgil
gnia it appears that an extra battalion has been Of
fered to the Secretary of War; and refused The Rich
mond Enquirer OF yesterday morning says, that offers OF
companies of volunteers continue to in but the
governor is compelled refuse any others than those al
ready accepted We pleased to hear yesterday that
company had been raised in the county of Washington
It, however, could not be accepted This fact shows that
remote as Little Tennessee is from the seat of govern
ment and rendezvous, she has evnced most creditable
degree of patriotism"
The regiment of Virginia is more than made up Her
companies generally very full One of them, from
Richmond, musters %, and understand that it is a
very fine regiment which she sends 10 the field and her
public spirit is displaying itself in other directions On
by the general assembly that the be requested to
procure suitable flag for the regiment OF Virginia vol
unteers" sThe common council of Richmond has also
voted eight swords, Ito cost $3.50 each to each of the
officers OF the two Richmond companies OF volunteers,
under the command OF Captains Scott and Carrngton
The Richmond Enquirer Of yesterday says, too that
among the companies accepted "under command

gna which arrived this city yesterday by the northern
cars and proceeded in order the house. where
they were formally introduced to the executive by the
senator from the Jefferson district j. S Gaaher esq,
in few handsome and appropriate remarks Governor
Smith responded in beautiful and impressive manner,
and accepted the services OF the company, and said he
felt satisfied that whenever opportunity is afforded,
they would be found among the first upon the battlefield
the last to leave it. The command Of Captain Rowans
company is, in part, as follows: Captain, John W.
