RETuEH OF TIE CONTIGENTALs.-Beng relieved
by Capt Clinch's company Of State troops, the
Continental Guards, Capt. Clark, left Fort Pike
and came up to the city yesterday morning. They
breakfasted at the lake, and at about 10 o'clock
made their appearance up town, looking as hearty
and elegant ever, and gladdening the eyes of all
who rushed to see them. They have done some
right hard work in fixing up things around the old
fort, and express their readiness to do the like
again, as soon as ever called upon. New Orleans
cannot boast drawer or better band of soldiers
than the Continentals. As they marched up town,
yesterday, the Gontinentals carried at their head
the Pelican flag which they manufactured out OF
tabe-cloth at the fort, and which waved over the
fort all the time they were there The star in the
center and the pelican within the star were drawn
and painted by members Of the company with
blue and yellow paint, the only paints to be found
in the fort; and the flag, though made out Of 3
table-cloth, will long be cherished and preserved
as having played an important part in the history
Of Louisiana.
THE RAcc!cHAs.-The second company of the
Raccachas turned out and paraded the streets yes
terday, presenting a fine appearance in their neat
uniform of gray, with their bayonetted masketa.
THE MILITARY SrIElT.-On all sides we hear of
the Strengthening and perfection of the Home
Guard Companies, and of the Firamen's military
organization. We believe that over 10000 men,
including the wealthy and fashionable as well as
the poor and hard-working, are now on footing
to take up their guns and march out to the fight,
should the city be closely approached or menaeed
by the Federal Or Black Republican enemy; and
| the number increases daily.
THE CALL FROM FLoRIDA.-The dispatch sent
| to Mayor Monroe by Col, Chase, commanding the
State forces at Pensacola has aroused lively in
| terest in this community. As we have already
| stated, the Mayor answered that 1000 men could
easily be raised to go to Florida. but that the arms
| and equipments for that service could not be
raised. We know several men in this CITY,
| military men who have snlelt powder and who
| bear wounds acquired in desperate but honorable
service, who vouoh to us that they can, within a
| week, raise at least two thousand men to 90 to
| Pensacola, provided Louisiana or Florida or any
| other State equips and arms them and these 1ner
can be raised in this city without weakening the
regular volunteer soldiery, home guards, or any
other of our local military organizations There
| is no want of men to do battle for the South: the
only things lacking are military clothing travel
ing money, and the Whingers " and g shooting
| irons.n
MARINE GUARD, THIRD DIsTRrCr.-A large and
muscular looking body of men, headed by fife and
drum, marched around town last evening" and as
they passed along Camp street. halted and honored
the Crescent with three lusty cheers and tiger az
we ascertained, it was the "Marine Guard of the
Third District, and all Of them sailors These are
| the men who will meet rough work when it offers
and who will man the privateers as soon as evel
