e The New Orleans Delta urges the idea Of
putting the large force Of well-drilled troops in
the several forts on the coast il the field, and
supplying their places by the volunteers and

would take time 70 make the latter efficient.
The Delta says the Governor has the power,
under the militia law, 10 order the volunteers
and militia into service, within the State, for nine
months. They cannot refuse or object to this
service. II IS IN better than establishing them
in camps neaT the city, where they cannot be
