FOR THE WAR.
/ We learn from an Adjutant in one Of
the Mississippi Regiments, at CentrevilIe,
that some sixteen Mississippi und Louisi.
ana Regiments have reinlisted for the war,
and that the good work is going forward
with great alacrity. He estimates that
some 10000 troops on the Potomac have
already enlisted for the war. He says that
the late news has given great impetus to
the work.-Lynchburg Republican.
We are pleased to find that nearly the
whole force On Gen. Holmes line Of the
Lower Potomac and Rappanhannock is now
or will soon be 10 for the war. With a
very few exceptions, all the twelve months
regiments have turned themselves over for
the full term, and the balance no doubt
will. This is cheering.-Raletgh Register.

tertained with able and eloquent speeches

ject Of the meeting to be for the purpose of
raising and equipping regiment for the
defence Of our homes against the Hessian
invaders, and the thorough organization Of
the eutire effective force of the city, so that
they may be thoroughly drilled and ready
at any moment to take the field.

and from the narrow banks of the, rivers
use their shot-guus on the ravagers They
