SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER %, 1861:

the greatest military spectacle ever seen in this
city, as fully twenty-five thousand men will be out
in array Oh Canal street. New Orleans will, fer
the time, resemble a camp, and grim vsaged war,
in all its pomp and magnifcence, will usurp the
place where peaceful trade was wont to rule The
immense body of men who to-day will assemble
under arms at the call of the Commander-in- Chief,
demonstrates how peculiarly warke the people Of
Louisiana are, and how ready all the citizens OF the
Southern metropolis hold themselves to rush to the
battle field in defence of their liberties and homes.
Without intending to indulge in vain boast, we win /
say that New Orleans has, perhaps, the most war
like population Of any city in America and if we |
would express our real belief, we would say the
world. She has already sent to the field upwards |
Of twenty thousand of her children, and now, at a
short notice, is ready to send as many more, and
still retain within her limits very respectable
force The troops which New Orleans has sent to
the war have distinguished themselves on every
field where they were engaged, and upon two of
the hardest fought fields Of the it was to their
indomitable courage that the Confederacy owed
their victories.
We hope that all places of business will be
closed to-day, and that no employer will prevent
any under his control from turning out in
their companies. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that the Commander.in-C Chief should be enabled to
form Just estimate of the troops which he is to
rely upon in the hour of danger, and this can only
be the case when business is entirely suspended.
For a merchant, manufacturer or mechanic to pro-
ceed with his regular business to-day would be
to throw serious obstacle in the way of public
defence, and should any such selfshly sacrifice
the public good to private interest, he should be
held up to the scorn of the whole community.
But we do not expect that there are any such in
our midst, nor do we expect that there will be
single stroke of private business done within the
whole limits of the parish.
Members Of companies should make it their
duty to meet at their headquarters at as early an
hour in the morning as possible. Every man
should remember that if he is. late that tardiness
might endanger the good name Of his CORPS, and
the punctual and prompt would be made to suffer
for his fault. .- f..7 i.".
We understand that it is the intention of General
Lewis to exact strict punctuality from all the
corps of the Divisions, 90 that the troops may not
be kept standing idle for hours before the review
begins. Therefore commanders of companies,
battaliens and regiments rest assured that they
will be reported if behind time, and they must not
suppose that when Gen. Lewis says 10 O'Clock in
his order, that he means II or Il O'Clock.
We hope that the police will be unusually vigi-
liant, and keep their eyes wide open throughout
the city, particularly in the suburbs, as nearly all
the able-b bodied men in town will be concentrated
on Canal street, and these will look to them
to protect their wives, children and property
from villains who might attempt to take advan-
tage OF their absence. To sum up, we will say
that New Orleans expects every man to do his
| duty to-day.

A GOOD SuGGEsT1oS-A friend sent US the fol
lowing yesterday, which we commend to the at
tention of that portion of our readers who reside
| on Canal street. II the suggestion is acted upon,
we are sure that many thirsty soldier will bless
the thoughtful kindness of those who remember
| them:
| Ed, Cyescent-I do not wish to intrude upon you,
| but on procession days. every in the ranks is
| generally thirsty after marching and If you were
| to suggest to the people and families living on the
| streets where the procession is passing, to have
| buckets of water on the sidewalks, you Will confer
| a great relief upon the immense number OF per-
| sons who are to be reviewed. Their servants can
readily do it, instead of standing idle upon the
| banquettes. SUBSCRIBER.
