wA Battalion of four companies Of Cavalry
of 70 or 80 men each was formed of men be.
tween II and 1s and As and so years, Of this
Parish, on the LIST of July inst, to compose the
Reserve Corps contemplated by law. There
are yet about $50 more men Of these two cate
gories in our Parish, who had not reported on the
first Of July, and who will probably swell the
Battalion Of SO many, if they are not sent in the
regular service as the law directs. Major j. NJ.
Thompson commands the Battalion.
1t is nothing but right to state here that the
men of the last conscrption answered the call in
our Parish in most laudable manner, and We
hope that those who have had no knowledge Of
the call (if call was ever made) as we'll as those
who may have neglected a little to report, will
be allowed to join the Battalion of Reserve
Corps.
