The Way to Raise Volunteers

Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has called for
twelve regiments for the war. He has
issued characteristic proclamation evin-
cling his determination to have the men
in short order. Here is a synopsis OF his
plan, and like everything that has mark
cd the administration Of the model Coy
ernor, it gives evident signs of success;
The Adjutant and Inspector General
will Immediately issue orders to the Colo
mel commanding each militia regiment,
notifying him Of the quota of men re.
quired from his regiment. If, in the
meanwhile, he does not receive the
names Of the requisite number Of yolun-
unteers, the Colonel will parade his regi-
ment by the 4th of March nextS and
make an appeal to them for volunteers
to make up the number required from
that regiment. Should the regiment
fail to make up the number by volun-
teering, lie will proceed to draft or dc.
tach SO many as Shall be lacking, and in
this draft all liable to duty in that regi-
ment who have absented themselves
from the parade will first bo talSen.---
Volunteers will elect their officers and re-
ceive bounty of fifty dollars each, so
soon as they are mustered into service
Drafted men cannot elect their own off
GERS and will receive no bounty.

Battle in the West.

FoRr SMITH, Feb. l9.-We have all day
been receiving news that our forces were
engaging the enemy near the line, which
is some thirty miles north of Fayetteville
on the Springfield road. The fight COM
mcnced about one or. two o'clock, as well
as we can ascertain, COL Herbert COM
manding his Arkansas forces and his regi-
ment of Louisiana troops.
1t does not appear from the dispatches
that more than one Missouri regiment
was in the fight.
An Iowa regiment was totally cut to
pieces.
We lost only about one hundred men;
the enemy aboutseven hundred.
Gen. McCulloch left early this morning
for the field of battle, and will be there
in time to follow up the successes. He
thinks he will bag the whole party, as
they cannot stand a defeat so far from
assistance.
The following private dispatches were
handed me today:
FAYErrEvILLE, Feb. 1862.
G. W. Clarke, Mai. A. Q. M. Fort Smith:
A big fight occurred at Pratts Store this
evening, in which McRae's, McNary's,
Herberts, ard one Missouri regiment
were engaged.
The enemy were signally repulsed, with
loss of 700; our loss said to be one hun
dred. The Seventh Iowa were literally
cut to pieces.
This news comes down by DR.. Smith,
of the Missouri army, who saw the fight.

ty-ore days.
Cut down in the morning of life, while his prospects
for future usefulness and prosperity bright and
only loved brother and large circle of friends
mourn his early death. But they consoled by the
reflection that his short earth has been one
Of uprghtness, honor and integrity; and that their
great loss is his eternal gain.
In Decatur township, the 18th inst after a short
illness, MAGGIE daughter of Robert and Sarah Kem-
merling, aged years. months and days.
This dear little girl greatly beloved by all who
knew her. During her sickness she heard by her
Papa to exclaina II would not live Away" and the
morning previous to her death she sang "There is
department traits of character highly develop
ed in one so young; not murmur escaped her lips,
not look of dissatisfaction clouded her brow. Dear
parents and friends weep not for Maggie your loss is
her eternal gam; and, although like beautiful flower
she has faded from your view in this world she will
bloom forever in the paradise OF God Although your
family circle has been broken by the cold hand of
death NAV you ever bear mind that your dear little
Maggie has only gone TO commence your family in
heaven.
Mother dry those sorrowing tears;
Whom thou weepest is not dead;
Leaning on the king of fears,
Gently rests her slumberng head.
Met together, there shall come,
Sleep of death no more for aye;
Hand In hand ye both shall roam,
Edens bowers through endless day.
Peaceful be your slumbers, then
Roseate visions fill your eyes;
Dream that ye have met again,
In the Joy of Paradise. s. W. a.
