papers. In the Bowling Green Courier, of
February, we find the following

MEMPHIS, February 3.

arrived in this city, direct from Prices head
quarters. He reports Colonies Poindexter
and Dorsey, with eight hundred men, having

i THE ENLISTMENT QUESTION.
The Bowling Green Courier, speaking OF
the enlistment question in the South, says
Our volunteers enlisted to fight, they
expected to 6ght, and they are not going to
return home until they are convinced that
no fighting is to be done. They are ready
to fight-to march all night and fight all
day--to fight and be beaten, and then to
fight again. We hink7they will have plen-
ty of it to do. We think before any oil
them will De asked 70 re.enlist, they VIII
have taste of blood that the war viii
have commences 10 sarnest that the two
armies will have closed in a death struggle
aud then all will demand to be in at tbs
death"
