DOubtfull.-The Richmond correspon

Doubtfull.-The Richmond correspon-
dent Of the Memphis Argus writes:
It is rumored about the streets, and to-
day Iheard it whispered in official circles,
that Gen. Evans, in fighting the enemy
at Leesburg, has materially thwarted the
plan Of campaign agreed upon by Gene
rails Johnston and Beauregard, and that
a court-martial will be called to act in
reference to it. The report is that Gen.
Evans had orders to evacuate and fall
back from Leesburg as Johnston and
Beauregard did at Fairfax, should the
enemy advance from the Potomac. The
policy, doubtless, was to let them come in
by columns at time, until emboldened by
our retreating at every point, they would
resume their ''on to Richmond" march,
in full force, and thus give us another
chance for a general battle. I have these
facts from undoubted authority, though
whether the extreme measure of af 4 court
martial will be resorted to is doubtful. 1t
would be inexpedient, if not dangerous,
under all the circumstances, and, yet
strict subordlnation and discipline are in
dispensable to success where great armies
are brought together. y

With the consent of the President of

ment OF mounted men for special ser
vice in the State of Louisiana, and the
promise of an immediate acceptance of
the same by the Hon. j. P. Benjamin
Sec. Of of war pro tenn I call upon those
who are determined to maintain their
rights as freemen, and the honor of their
country to fall in with me, and as early
as possible organize companies. From six

tute company, eac', man to be furnished
with double barrel shot gun or rife,

size of the horse will not be objected to

TO THE SOUTHERN PUBLIC.

AT meeting Of the citizens of New Or
leans cow, ned on the 29th of July last, per-
manent committee of twenty four gentlemen
was appointed to solicit contributions for the
relief of the sick and wounded soldiers of the
Southern Confeaeracy, and provide for their
| comfort during the war.
The undersigned, in behalf of the committee
thus appointed, appeal to the humane and
patriotic to aid them in their holy work. 1t
behooves those who enjoy the safety and COM
forts OF home to testify, in material form
their appreciation of the peris and sufferings
OF our brave volunteers. 1t is in our cause
| they are STRICKEN and it is our mission to
pour balm into their wounds. The poorest
| can contribute something, and the offering
will be appreciated; perhaps such will be
especially blessed in their results.
The committee will be advised of the nature
OF supplies required at hospitals. Their ef-
forts will not be confined to the soldiers of a
particular State or section. They will afford
all the aid and relief in their power to all
sufferers in our cause. If means can be raised
| they propose to organize permanent system
Of relief. Contributions of clothing, blankets
and bed clothes, articles OF nourishment sui.
table for the sick, particularly sugar, coffee,
tea, rice, tapioca, arrowroot, cordials, pure IL
quors and wines, are specially solicited.
Warm clothing, woolen socks and shoes, in
great quantity, will soon become absolutely
necessary in the latitude of the seat of war.
We appeal to our fellow-citizens not to abar-
don our brave soldiers in their Affections.
| A warehouse for the reception of such sto-
res as may be contributed has been establis-
he'd at No. SO Gravier street, where a reiia-
BILE person will be in attendance. Each men,
Der of the Permanent Committee will receive
contributions in money.
