instant an urgent call was made on the
people to raise in. this Department an
army corps for the defence Of the state.
Yesterday under the proclamation OF the

been given to furnish men to rePel the

idly. Our capital is threatened and We
nav be disgraced by its fall, while the
men who should be driving the outlaws
from our soil are quibbling about the pos
4 sible term Of service for six months. II

the continuance of the urgency. You al
know this by what happened when the
1 militia we're called out last autumn. You
then trusted your Government and were
not deceived. Trust it again now.

There was no news of an advance, or
in fact of any movement on the part Of
Joe Johnston, who was reported in the
vicinity of Jackson, massing his forces
preparatory to a movement at no distant t
day. General Frank p. Blair had just re-
turned from another reconnaissance in
force. He had carefully patrOlled the
country for forty miles back of Vioks5urg
and found only few guerrillas, who fled
at his approach in too great haste to enable
him to capture one for obtaining informa-
ton.
