Our Volunteers.

The Crescent City Guards marched out
TO their camp at the Fair Gounds yesterday
forenoon, under the command of Capt.
Thompson. As already stated, they have
been received into the service of the State,
and are to remain in their present quarters
until called into active service. While
they remain encamped here, it is our duty
to see that they are well supplied with
every soldiers comfort. Every city and
town in the State and all over the country
is doing its utmost to clothe, feed, and sus-
tain them. They recognize the fact that
the brave volunteers have undertaken the
dangers and hardships of the camp and the
battle field, to maintain and preserve for
them this free government, and that they
cannot do less than comfortably equip
clothe, and provision them. Let US not
hesitate to do our whole duty to our volun.
teers. The City Council, we believe, have
undertaken to provision them. But they
need a good uniform, and should have il
without delay. They may need fame
shirts, more blankets, comforts and othel
materials. Let none of us stand back
Let them at least be furnished with uni
forms complete. Our impression is tha
the Government deducts the price Of th
uniform from the pay of the soldiers wher
it is furnished by it. The pay of the brav,
men is little enough. Let Us not compe
them to take the price of the uniforms from
their wages.

CITY Council.

The Mayor called the City Council to-
gether last night, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the necessity of making
an appropriation for arming the city. 1t
was understood that the County Commits
sioners made their appropriation of $4,000
with the understanding that the city would
also appropriate $4,000 for the same pur-
pose. The Mayor, who was called before
the Commissioners, naturally enough sup
posed the city would do it without delay.
But last night, when the motion was made
for the appropriation, it was objected to
for frivolous reasons, and was finally
postponed until Saturday night 1t il well
that the people should know who these
men are, who cannot see the urgent neces-
sity for immediate action. On the motion
to postpone, Hedderich, Miller, Klusman,
Fergus, Haney, and Mentzer voted in the
affirmative. The Council can hardly re-
fuse the appropriation on Saturday night /;
they certainly win not if they consult the
people. The member from the Eighth Ward

constituents to-day and learn their views on
the subject We suggest that he wait until
the rebels are entrenched on the other side
of the river, and then make the appropria-
ton.
We want immediate action. Everything
points to war and commotion upon the
Western border, and we should be prepaF-
ed. The Governor of Kentucky has called
the Legislature together for the 9Th of May
and. it may unconstitutionally precipitate
the State out of the Union. We know the
Governor is in league with the traitors, and
the people all along our border are arning
themselves. We know also that the demand
for arms is so great that we cannot get
them as soon as ordered. And yet With
civil war in its most terrible form staring
US in the face, with armed men all around
US, our city council have not yet found out
that we-are unarmed, that our families and
our property are in danger, that delay is
dangerous. .-.--
We know there are designing men in
our midst, who are not too loyal to the gov
eminent men who have expressed their
attacnmenr 10 the SCUM in this strnpole.-
Can it be that their influence is felt in the
council We hope not We had hoped
that the council would respond cheerfulIy
to the liberal appropriation made by the
County Board and they will yet do it il
the people make themselves heard to-day
aRd Tomorrow.
Ia the meantime, the action of the Coun-
y Board will enable an agent to proceed &c

LOCAL NOTICES.

"TAE PocKEr" of Indiana, which 1t was
asserted would secede from the balance of
the State and 60 with the Southern Con-
federacy, is turning up as sound for the
Union as any portion of the North. Al
though the excitement is not so high as in
the more Northern portions of the State,
the feeling is as profound and love for the
Union as ardent as anywhere else. Some
of the warmest Union men are our Demo-
cratic friends who in this terrible crisis have
dropped ell thought of party. The South
have been told that there would be divld-
ed North; but 10 when the question is
brought home to our people, they are fof

tionists of the Gulf States, who in their in
sane ambition would ruthlessiy destroy the
best Government that God in his mercy eveI
vouchsafed to man. A divided North
