The Lafayette TINS supply Association.

On Saturday last, meeting was held, Mt the
Court House, of the subscribers to the fund for
the purchase Of arms to equip the Bradford
and Lamar" Rifles. An organization was e.
fected, under the name of "The Lafayette Arms
Supply Association" by the adoption Of articles
of association, and the election of Col. 7. Z. B.
Pegues as President L. Houseman, ESQ.,, as
Secretary, and j. GTrigg ESQ.,, as Treasurer.
Mr. Trlgg made an informal report, showing
that the total amount of subscriptions to the
fund Of the Association was s., Ss5, 90. of which
tho sum of s., 600, had been already paid in,
and placed in the hands 81 Capt +. N. Green,
who had proceeded to 81. Louis to make pur-
chase of arms. A telegram had been received
from house in St Louis, stating that they
could furnish lot of sixty Sharp's rifles at $50
each. and it was believed that further supply
might be obtained there. tEf4f- ,
For the information Of such of our readers as
may be ignorant of the purposes of the Asso-
citation, We would state that it was formed in
the State is empty, and that the stock of arms,
now belonging to the State, is entirely inadequate
to the equipment of our volunteer forces. 1t is
proposed that our citizens, through this Asso-
citation, shall furnish the means to equip the
volunteers of this county; and it is not doubted
that the State will eventually receive the arms
and refund their cost to the Association. Should
the State decline 10, do this, however, the nSrn-
bcrs of the Association viii have the satisfac-
ton of rejecting that they have discharged
patriotic duty, by contributing in an essential
point, to the public defence and safety and,
moreover, the arms will remain the property of
the Association, and-after the necessity for
their employment shall have passed away--nay
be distributed, as relics, among the members of
the Association, or otherwise disposed Of for the
common benefit. 81. F. ....l Pal. ..-r
The following list comprises the names of
those persons, who up to Saturday last had
subscribed to the fund of the Association. They
number only ninety. Surely, wheI it is known
that ten thousand dollars could be uscfully en-
ployed by the Association in furtherance of its
objects, two or three hundred Of our wealthy
and prosperous citizens will come forward,
promptly, and supply the comparatively small
amount that is yet required. A committee is in
the field, soliciting subscriptions, and we trust
that they will give every man in the county an
opportunity to contribute his mite towards the
defence of the rights and honor of Mississippi,

We learn that the citizens in the vicinity Of
Waterford, Marshall county, are organizing a
military company of old men and middleaged,
each one of whom is to take with him to the bat
tle-field negro man, to act as body servant to
his master, and, if necessary, fight 10y his side.
Some who are not able to enter the service, have
offered to furnish the negro to such non slave
holders as will join the company and go. They
intendto offer their services to the Governor, for
