LOUiSIhNlANS, TO ARMS


The Government of the Confederate States has
called upon Louisiana for 5000 men, to serve az
infantry, as speedily az possiblc-an extra 5000
outside of the enlisted troops and volunteers who
have left and are now leaving for the service OF
the Confederate States. Gen. Grivot gave US this
information last night. The call portcnds some
thing quick, heavy and decisive. Let Louisiana
and her sons rcspoud the sooner the better.
MILITARY ITEMS.
TIE WAR EXCITEMENT--The movements and
dong8 Of the military were yesterday, as on the
previous day, the chief excitement Of the popua.
ton. Three days out of Lncoln's twenty days
grace are gone, and such 90 combinations a.
abound in this region are rapidly preparing to
dsperse." 1t would really do Honest Old Abe's
heart good if he could sec how the men Of loUi8
ana are preparing to 'dsperse.n We have no
kind of Doubt Ono, not We) that before the end oi
the twenty days, the combinati0n3' here and
elsewhere in the South will have quietly disDandcd
and the members thereof returned quietly to their
homes; that the forts will be given up with many
contritc apologies; that the new flags Of the South
will be burnt in the public squares, and the multi
tudc fall on their knees and grovel in the dust be-
fore the old "star8 aud Stripes" now doubly sa-

and that the South will do contritest penance, for
the privilege Of returning into the loving and p!ous
household from which they so thoughtessly and
wiCkedy seeded. The South, at first, took old
Abe for fool, an imbcce; but now that it sees
he is another jackson, and that it (the S0utlD must
and shall be preserved. it sets the error Of its
course, and in saCkCloth and ashes praya for par
don and for reinstatOn. 1t would really melt old
Abe to tears, to see how quickly and cordially the
Southern g combinations are " dispcr8iDg, in the
hope Of his forgiveness and kind protection here
after. The preparations to - dspersc" in this city,
are among the yeliest things that the present
