American ranks, within the past four weeks, at
too loao figure. Add fifty per cent to the
number given, and he will be much nearer the
truth We assert this authoritatively, for we
Are well posted in regard to what is going on ah
over the State, and our information Is Of the

Why, in this very respectable city Of New
Orleans and enyirons, within the last four
weeks" there have been accessions to the ranks
Of American patriotism reaching to nearly a
moiety of the $40 set down BY the Courier We

world, if we could help it, but truth compels us
