Francisco that force of 1000 men, armed
and equipped for active service, is now being
organized in that city, with view of Offering
their services to the Mexican Government in

The Cumberland is rising-there is now 30
inches on Harpeth shoals, which viii allow the
feet of small boats to go up to Nashville that
