1.-THE Council. OF the City Of Richmond, in

king the same exhibitions ofinteresl and respect
for The Volunteers Of Richmond, that has b, en-

at is thought that Old Virginia cannot furnish
a regiment Tor Mexico. She can furnish plenty
OF officers, but volunteers for priyales are among
the missing"
This snser at the Old Dominion comes from
the Lexington Observer, a Wing paper, published
al The very door OF Mr.. Clay's Ashland. Is ii not
provoked by the fact, that Virginia has firmly
and periodically refused TO cast her vote for Hen
ry Clay2
We throw back The launt and point 10 the tri-
umphanl fact that eighteen companies OF volun-
tcers have offered their services, and that Vir-
giDa has now ready for the field as fine regiment
as the Union can produce. We hazard but Ill
lie, when we challenge The Observer TO watch
their deeds on The plains Of Mexico, in behalf Of
the just and glorious cause oftheir country.
The glorious anniversary OF the 9Th of Janua-
ry was celebrated in this city yesterday by a
grand parade. Although il was bitter cold day,
our volunteers turned out in full strength TO do
honor 10 the occasion. On parade, We noticed
Capt Eis's Richmond Fayelle Artillery; Capt
Gwynn's Richmond Light Dragon; Captain
Munford's Richmond Light Infantry Blues, and
Capt. Dimmocks Stale Guard After firing
salute of twenty-nine guns, in honor of The
States, the companies passed through The Govern
ment grounds Audience down Main street, ma
king fine military display.

The Union holds the following cheering Ian
euage upon two questions which now engage The
attention Of Congress and the Country:
ave warn the National In,elligencer' and Us
allies moi TO deceive themselves. The country is
in war. The people demand tina, !. should be
prosecuted with visor and terminated with honor.
Their representatives cannot refuse The necessa-
~ suppIies OF men, money, and means. TIL
bill for organizing ten additional regiments WIN
mass in some form or other, and, what is most
desirable, in the form proposed BY The Secretary
of War and recommended by the President
why change il? Why convert il into bill Tor
volunteers, when The $4,000 volunteer bill is moi
vel exhs usied and member from New York
admitted to-day that there were 1900 volunteers
who might yet be called out under that bill.!-
We want, also, species OF force more allied 10
The regular service, TO act a different principle,
and 10 give the greatest possible efficiency 10 our
combination Of troops. This addition 10 the reg
uIar force besides, will, by the very Terms OF its
enlistment, expire al the end OF The war.
"Money and loans will slso be provided for !;
whether by taxing tea and coffee, or all The free
list, or in some other mode Of taxation, we know
not; but we doubt as little, in spite OF the Tempo
rary exualon of The National lntelligencer, that,
if The exisencies oil the war require it, The repre-
seplaliyes OF patriotic and enlightened people
will waive their own prejudices, and lay an ade-
ouale duty upon tea and coffee and other articles
of the tree list. The honor of the country will
demand the supplies; and an administration
which is faithful 10 its trusts, and nobly doing S
duty, and carrying on a war which Congress re-
cognised and sanctioned in May last, must re-
ceive, as il deserves the support OF its democrat
ic friends, and, indeed, OF every patriotic men,
