ported at the North that New Orleans had been
captured by the Hessian feet without firing gun !
Birthstone and saltpetre that's too bad. What |
will our crack military corps say to such an inlpu-
taton being cast upon their spunk? Whisper it !
not to the uncounted hosts of the militia, or their
anger will rush over the land with the blasting eff
fects Of the simoom. Breathe it not to the mil |
lions of colonels, majors, captains and leutenanta
that are now quietly reposing on their ianres
throughout the State, or we will not for the
consequences. Take the city without firing gun
'Tis a foul, hell-born lie. Hall-h-h-h Hold US,
Or we will hurt somebody in the immensity of our
anger.
THE CREW OF THE MASAssAs.--We understand
that the men who accompanied Lieut.. Marley in
his perilous exploit in the Manassas last Friday
night, are in need Of the common necessaries Of
life, having lost their employment by volunteering
to 60 on the expedition. Now, it appears to us,
that if this is really so, and we have received it
from reliable source, it would be a shame and
disgrace to the fame Of the city Of New Orleans
if their wants were not relieved immediately
These poor men volunteered cheerfuly to risk
their lives in the defence of the wives and children
of people, and now it is a sacred duty for us
| to see that want never troubles them. Will not
| some one of the benevolent men, with whom the
city abounds, take the matter in hand, and solicit
| subscriptions for their relief?
FRERET's CoTroN Press YARDs-These in
mense yards, the property of our esteemed fellow
citizens, the Messrs. Freret, are alive every even
| ing with swarms of men drilling in the ranks of
the militia organizations. We believe there are no
less than eight of these yards, all near or
adjoining each otller, and in every one of them

fecting themselves for the emergency that may
come upon them. These companies are all mus
tered under the officers of the First Regiment,
First Brigade, First Division of the Louisiana Mill
tia, and are only portion of the Division, there
being countless other places for muster and drill.
The of these yards has been courteousy
granted by the Messrs. Freret, through their gen
temanIy agent, Mr.. NJ. Kinds; and the Militia
officers must be greatly indebted to these gentle
men for their liberality. We took an impromptu
review of great many of these companies and
must say they are getting along finely. We are
told Also there is drill three times week parti-
cularly for the benefit Of the Militia ofIcers this
is right and will, no doubt, have the tendency to
do away somewhat with the aspersons SO freely
cast upon them by those doing no service them
selves, but always first to find fault with those who
are and have been doing everything. There will
be, however, De1atatus in every community
! always carping; nothing pleases." But one
| thing is wanting: There are hundreds of people
shrking military duty in all parts Of the city, and
there should be more energetic means devised to
compel them to obey the requirements of the law
either in the volunteer Or the militia organiza
tons. Those avoiding or shirking duty at this
i time may justly be regarded as suspicious, and il
is the duty of every good citizen, not only to report
such persons to the authorities, but to mark them
in their daily intercourse as unworthy of associa
ton in any manner.
