’ also 50 pieces of artillery (among them 26 of heavy cal

of operations will be given to Generals Miuon or Ur-
rea, who are expected to arrive here soon; besides
Don Manuel Romero. Mejia. Amador, and oilier
chieftains, who will follow their brave commanders
We will have a large amount of guerrilfcros" in a-
, bout a month from this, and a base of 4.500 men
which we now have here, will facilitate the defence
of the Stale wrh «uccess. The town of Catorce is
now in course of fortification by order of the Govern'
or, who will start next week in order to examine the
J operations in the neighboring tow us. The States of
i Zacatecas. Guadalajara. Durango, Gnanajnato. and
j two others, (the names I do not recollect.) will raise
“ i 6000 men, in order to give assistance to San Luis in
ie ’ ; case this State should be attacked first, or *o detain
e - the invaders should they proceed first to Zacatecas
^ 1 and Durango. In every case. San Luis will operate
j in concert with the forces which may be raised; these,
► 1 I expect, will be from 6 to 8000 men in all.
| A general en'istment. to take place in forty-eight
hours' time has been this day agreed upon by the go-
vernm2nt: and this is in accordance with the procla
mation? and exortations of the clergy, who will give
the best examples. All this affords us hopes of salva
tion. Above all, there is a strong determination here
to resist any treaties of peace which Mexico would
wish to enter into with the ‘hated Yankees,’ as it has
been suggested in letters of very late date from the
Capital.
By another decree of die same date, Gen. Bravo
(General-in-Chief of the Central Army,) orders all
citizens from 15 to 60 years of age, to enlist at the
shortest notice, and be prepared to present them
selves armed and equipped, when they should be
called upon.
I l l Monitor of the 4»h. says that the partizans of
! Santa Anna have sent commissioners to the different
Slates, in order to obiaiu voles for him to be elected
! President.
The same paper asserts that Gen. Canalizo had re
ceived orders to give up the command of the cavalry,
' and proceed to the capital.
El Republicano of the 4 th, says that notwithstanding
I the ministry had promised to court-martial Canalizo,
f he still commanded the cavalry. His flight at Cerro
[ Gordo during the battle, and his failure to cover die
retreat of the Mexicans, were notorious, andyethe

LATER FROM THE CITV OF MEXICO.
Through the kindness of the editors of ‘ La Patrin
we have been placed in possession of full files of El
Republicano. El Monitor and Diario del Gobicmo lo
the 6ih nit. These files are filled with interesting ;
information, and were they to be considered a fiir
index to the popular mind, they would go to show
that the “war spirit” is increasing daily, and that new
measures are constantly being adopted to carry on the :
war with vigor and perseverance. Almost every nuni 1
her of the Mexican journals is filled with appeals to
the people and to the authorities, urging action-
prompt and incessant defensive action.
The papers complain bitterly of the course pursued
by the members of the Mexican Congress—many of
them (from six to ten each day) were reported sick—
about as many, or more, would not attend, and at last
accounts, some sixteen or seventeen members had
left the. capital without license. Don Vincente Ro
mero was constantly endeavoring to arouse his broth
er members to a sense of the country’s condition, but
his eloquence seemed unavailing.
The Supreme Government appointed a commiHec
to raise money by subscription, for the purpose of
paying the expenses of the war. There were several
thousand mines on the list, and we see amounts from
12.$ cents to $1000.

At a meeting of the Democratic party of Hancock
county, lor appointing delegates lo the Convention
to be held in Miliedgeville, for nominating a candidate
for Governor, on motion of Col. R. M. Johnston,
Capt. E. S. Barnes was called to the Chair, and Win.
D. Wynn requested to act as Secretary.
The -object of the meeting being uudersfood Benj.
S. Harris, E-q., moved that the Chair appoint a Com
mittee of five, who should select such delegates, and
report their names for approval. The motion passed,
the Chair appointed Benj. S. Harris and Richard P.
Sassnett, Esqrs., Col. R. M. Johnston, H. Bonner aud
L Sanders, Esqrs.
The Committee after retiring a few moments re
ported the names of Eh H. Baxter, Marcus Johnston,
Lee Reeves and John S. Martin, Esqrs. Which nom
ination was received by acclamation. Power wasgiy-
cn the delegates to fill all vacancies in their number.
After a few remarks from B S. Harris, Esq., he
submitted the following preamble and resolutions, to
the consideration of the meeting, which were unani
mously adopted.
Whereas, unceasing efforts are being made to
bring Democratic principles into disrepute, and lo
oaraJize ihe present administration of the Federal
Go\eminent, by withholding “aid and comfort” from
him while he is nobly doing his duty; and whereas,
we have unabated confidence in the integrity of the
man and the correctness of his principles.
tie it resolved, That so long as the measures of the
Democratic parly, shall continue lo “vindicate them
selves” from tlte assaults oftheir opponents we have
nothing to fear at the hands of an enlightened and
patriotic people.
Resolved, That the present prosperity of the whole
country is a sure guarantee of such vindication, and
of the soundness and correctness of democratic prin
ciples, and that as Democrats we have just cause to
be proud of the measures which have originated this
prosperity, and which if permitted lo exist, must con
tinue to sustain it for all time to come.
Resolved, That while we admire the patriotism of
those who opposed, we despise the fanaticism of such
•as favored the introduction of the “YV ilmot i’roviso”
into Congress, causing distress in our army and in
crease in the expenses of a just and unavoidable war,
by unnecessarily protracting the same.
Resolved, That we will not support any candidate
for any office who may have countenanced a propo
sition so suicidal to the best interests of the country.
Resolved, That we tender our since thanks to ihe
officers and army in general, who have so nobly and
gallantly defended the cause of their country, and
reaped new laurelsfor themselves, against over whelm- ,
ing odd-:, in the hard contested but glorious victories '
of Palo Alto. Resaca de la Palma, Monterey, Buena
Vista, Vera Cruz, and Cerro Gordo.
Col. R. M- Johnson then offered the following re
solutions, which were also adopted.
Resolved, That this delegation have power to con
fer with the delegates from Baldwin, relative to the j
nomination of a candidate for this the 24th Senatorial
District.
Resolved, That the Editors of the Federal Union
and Georgia Constitutionalist be requested to publish j
the proceedings cf this meeting in their respective |
papers. I

Ca\\ For VolunteersU
Hr.ad Quarters, )
Miliedgeville, April 23d, 1847. )
T HE Commander-in-Chiet, having received a re
quisition from the President of the United States
for a battalion oflnfantry, and also a company of
Mounted Volunteers, again appeals to the pairiotuic
of the people of Georgia. Extracts of the letter from
the War Department are annexed as explanatory of
the mode of organization, the term of service, the
place of rendezvous, and other subjects relating to the
required battalion and company.
Companies, when organized for the proposed ser
vice, will report directly to Head Quarters, to the end
that they may be forthwith ordered to the general
rendezvous, inspected and mustered into the service
of the United Stales.
Bv order of the Commander in Chief,
JNO. II. BROWN, Aid-de-Camp.
“As it is desirable that no time shonld be lost in
raising this additional force, it is proposed to accept
and muster the volunteers by companies. Your Ex
cellency is therefore requested to cause to be organ
ized in your Slate five companies of Infantry to serve
during the war with Mexico, unless sooner discharg
ed. Each company will consist of
I Captain,
1 First Lieutenant,
2 Second Lieutenants,
4 Sergeants,
4 Corporals,
2 Musicians and
80 Privates,
A Battalion will consist of
1 Lt. Colonel or Major,
I Adjutant (a Lieutenant of one oft be com
panies, but not in addition,)
1 Sergeant Major,
1 Quarter Master Sergeant,
1 Drum Major, and
5 Companies.
“Should the number of companies here called for
be raised, they will at once be orgainzed into a battal
ion, and your Excellency is requested to commission
the Field and Company officers. It may become ne
cessary to order the several companies to the scene of
action as fast as they are raised, and mustered into
service, in which case they would be organized into
battalions and regiments on reaching the place of des
tination.
“Columbus is designated as the place of rendez
vous for the several Companies as fa9t as they shall
be organized, where they will be inspected and mus
tered into service by an officer or officers of the Unit
ed States army, who will, in every case he instruct
ed lo receive no man who is, in years, apparently
over forty-five or under eighteen, or who is not of
physical strength and vigor. To this end the Inspec
tor will be accompanied by a medical officer of the
army, and tiie volunteers will be submitted to his ex
amination.
“As ail the Field and Company officers in the vol
unteers taken into the service of the United States un
der the act of the i3th May. J816, (a copy of which
is enclosed.) must be appointed and commissioned,
or such ns have been appointed and commissioned,
in accordance with the laws of the State from whence
they are taken—I beg to suggest the extreme impor
tance to the public service that the officers for the ad
ditional force here requested be judiciously selected.
“The law provides for the pay. cloihiug (in money)
and subsistance to the uon-coromissioned officers,
musicians and privates of volunteers when received
into the service of the United States.
“In respect to clothing, the law requires that tho
volunteers shall furnish their own clothing, for which
purpose it allows to each non-commissioned officer,
musician and private, three dollar? and fifty cents per
month during the time be shali be in the service of
the United States. In order that the volunteers who
shall be mustered into service under this requisition
may be enabled to provide themselves with good and
sufficient clothing, the commutation allowance for six
months, (twenty-one dollars) will be advanced to each
non-Commissioned officer, musician aud private af
ter being mustered into service, but only with the ex
press condition that the volunteer has already far-
nished himself with six months clothing—this faetto
be certified to the Paymaster by the-Captain of the
Company—or that the amount thus advanced shall
be applied under the supervision of his captain to the
object contemplated by law. In this latter case the
advance commutation for clothing will be paid on the
Captain's certificate that he is satisfied it will be eo
applied.
In respect to subsistence before arriving at the
place of rendezvous, and for travelling home from the .
place of discharge, the allowance is fifty cents for ev-*
ery twenty miles distance.
Your Excellency is further requested to canse tobe
raised and organized for the war, one company of
mounted volunteers, to consist of
1 Captain,
1 First Lieutenant,
2 Second Lieutenants.
4 Sergeants,
4 Corporals,
2 Bnglars,
1 Farrier and Blacksmbh, and
80 Privates.
The proper officer of the Staff Department will be
immediately sentlothe place of rendezvous, with funds
to defray the necessary expenses which may be incur
red, agreeably to law.”

Dear Sir,—You enquire of me whether I have used
your Hair Tonic, and with what effect.
Several years ago my hair began lo fall rapidly
from the scalp, and I had the prospect of premature
baldness. At length a friend recommended your
Hair Tonic. I used three or lour bottles, according
to the printed directions, and at the end of six months,
my hair was thick set, and since, its tendency lo turn
gtey was arrested.
I have never before given a certificate, recommend
ing patent medicines which indiscriminately used,
a- they often are, do much Injury: but in a case like
the present, where I know the article to be beneficial,
and that it can do no harm, I have no scrupies in sta
ting facts wilhin my knowledge.
your’s, &c.,
