The LEvEE for the soldiers, at Mechanics
Hall, last night, passed off in the most agreea-
bic manner. There was large attendance,
and the Highland Cadets, whose drill formed
one of the principal features OF the entertain
ment, were present in greater force even than
at their last exhibition, showing the Highland
School to be in a very hourishing condition
The Cadets went through with company evo-
lutions, the manual of arms, the bayonet exer-
else, and dress parade, with ease and precis-
ion, and were reviewed by Gov. Andrew and
his staff, consisting of Coils Wetherell Lee,
Ritchie, and Adams. The distinguished visi.
tors Joined heartily in the liberal applause
bestowed upon the Cadets. During the rests
Messrs. l. n Metcalf and Albert S. Allen
gave songs, and the boys chorus.
The floor was fully occupied by the dancers
till quarter past Twelve, and The reireshment
rooms, we understand, were well patronizpd
SO the soldiers may expect another dividend
There were present many, if not nearly all, of
our soldiers now home on Through The gov
error, who visited the College OF the Holy
Cross yesterday, found pleasure in staying at
the hail nearly all the evening, and added
much by his presence to the dignity OF the oc-
cason.

There is no doubt of the presence
OF the enemy, but their designs are

are intent upon taking possession OF
Little Rock, and are waiting the ar

Owing to the great peril of orr
country, and the great want Of guna
and munitions Of war, and especial.
ly the inability Of the government
to furnish my regiment with arms,
| have been compelled to take per.
emptory measures TO secure arms

count duly certified to by the proper

Il saw some weeks ago in the

Of saltpetre, and that the earth un

Government wss in great need Of
saltpetre, in order to make powder

what l could fer my country; so,

hopper, and had two others built
l then had the dirt under the house
dug up and put into the hoppers.-
I then run water through one Of the
hoppers, and then passed the water
through the other two After which
l added ley to the water until the
curdling ceased l then boiled it

The bearer of the above message
stated that an answer could be made
anytime within "a hours.
Owing to the wires being down
during the day, this message was
not telegraphed up till in the even
ing.
This morning Gen. Herbert has
instructed Col. Cook to reply that
when the land and naval forces
make their appearance, tho demand
will be answered.
Meanwhile we can assure the peo-
pie that the Island will not be Civ
en- up on a mere paper lombard
ment. Nothing will be left undone
to provide for the enemy when he
comes.
The General commanding advis-
es the people to keep cooI-there is
no danger. When the enemy lands
and endeavers to penetrate into the
interior, he will be fought on every
inch of ground. In the meantime
every man should stand by his arms
and be ready to take the field at a
moments warning.
The above is all that has taken
place that is Of interest to the pub
lie.
After the above was in type we
received the following by telegraph

GALVESTON, May IS, 1862.
Yesterday morning white flag
was raised at the masthead Of the
Santee, which not being immediate
| responded to on shore, the schoon-
er Sam Houston started in over the
bar also bearing a white flag, a stea.
mer was then dispatched by Col
Cook, our Commandment, TO meet the
schooner. A Federal Lieutenant
boarded the steamer, stating he had
a communication to deliver to the
Commandant, at Galveston in per.
son
This was declined, and after re-
turning to the Santec, the Ljeuten-
ant delivered the same to Lieut.
Col. Manly. See above.
The Federal officer stated that an
answer could be sent under a flag
of truce during to-day. The time
has now como when the people of
Galveston are to determine the
course they will pursue, At what
hour the Federal feet will arrive,
none can toll; but we have no rea-
son to expect much delay, Some
seem 10 think tie demand on the
| art Of Capt. Eagle is piece Of gas
conade to obtain the credit Of the
surrender Of Galveston. If SO, he
will be mistaken, for no one suppo-
ses that it will ever be yielded to
any but an overwhelming force such
as it would be folly to resist. In
this time of danger, true men and
women become imbued with lofty
patr otisrn and sacrificing disposl-
ton which ensures a dignified and
patriotic course OF conduct. 1t Is

PRESIDENT DAVIS AMONG THE Sol
DIERs.--We extract tho following
from the Richmond correspondence
april y Of the Charleston Courier:
But yesterday, the finest bodies
Of troops / have ever seen, marched
through our streets, to join their
fortunes with those already on the
Peninsula. 1t was announced from
the pulpits that they would be here
at certain hours, G@d huagry. When
they arrived, Richmond turned out
with the fat Of the land, and fed her
defenders sumptUously. All the
market baskets in town were groan-
ing with provisions. Even meat
Wagons were crowded with delicate
and substantial edibles. Here you
could see Il soldier with loaf in one
hand beet's tongue in the other ,
there, another, with his pie and ten
derloin; and yoader, a third teasting
upon turkey or cold chicken. The
nun bers to be supplied were great,
but thy miracle Of the loaves and
fishes seemed to la,e been eLayted
over again. And when satiated,
they were RECALLED with the best
| Havanas in our market. The tairer
portion Of creation We're there in
mass, waiting upon the hungry and
wayworn, chatting With them, cheer
ing and encouraging them; and the
latter seemed to have been more
than inspired by such attentions
fJr the brave always love the fair
/ In Il midst Of this brief season OF
recreation and amusement, the Pres.
ident arrived. In his own peculiar
and inimitabIy eloquent manner, he
addressed the champions Of our
cause and as sentence followed sen
tence. there were cheers after cheers
-clenchod fists and fiery eyes to
respond. 1t was one Of the most
beautiful addresses to which | lave
ever listened; solemn, impressive,
bold, defiant, and self-reliant. lie
told the men that they would be
outnumbered, perhaps two to one
but with such material, he had no
fears as TO the result.
In conclusion, raising his voice to
Demosthenic beauty, "You," said
he, "who carry with you mothers
blts ings and affections, may the
God of armies and battles guide and
protect you in prosecuting the no.
blcst cause ever entrusted to free
mon" "Would that you were to be
our leader" resPon4ed, thousands

to be vain ene--for l am informed
that it is his resolution to particle
