Blankets for the Sick Soldiers.

It will be impossible for the Con-
federate or State Governments to
purchase Blankets for the use Of our
sick aud wounded soldiers. They
are not to be had. the supply being
now nearly exhausted.
/ therefore call on the heads Of
families and all other persons, and es-
pecially on the Planters Of Louisiana,
to contribute one or more pair OF
Blankets to this good purpose. Ev-
cry family, arly-certainly every
planter-can spare from one to halt
dozen pair Of their abundant sup
ply. They should be sent to some
central point in each parish, and
pressed in bale at some cotton press,
and be marked with the nambcr il

Gen. Pillow was this morning re-

force of Rebel infantry. They cut
their way through, but four OF their
men are missinG-supposed to be
