Not less than 10,000 men will applyto be received as part of this body to be sentaway. A wild but patriotic desire is abroad toleave these tame scenes and repair to the theaterof action, and there make good outhern bulletswhistle through the brains of the miscreant hordeswho dare pollute the sanctity of Southern soil bythe tread of their dastard feet. Tre news, thoughyet unconfirmed, instils new life into oar men.They are uplifted and delighted with the thought ofbringing their knives to play with the ribs of theAbolition thieving gang who flock to the South ona minsion of "b;oty and beauty."Enlistments go on with alacrity ; and if neces-sary. or if retqired, our whole male populationwill Iy 1o the rescue.

It is a pity that we of Texas were not permitterto push forward to the seat of war months ago;because, under the supineness of being held herefor home protection alone, caused a cessation inorganization and preparation for active war, whishotherwise would have gone on at " God speed"pace. lmen do not desire to drill aid undergofatigue and privation, onless they see the iume-diate necessity for it; hence the orderfor Tezansto remain at home has done us an injury; but,thank God, the first note of want on the part ofour brave and valiant brothers of the States causesus to fall into line, bid farewell to kindred andfriends, and move forward to where death or gloryawaits aos. The watchword of Texans is--" Fightto the death-a prisoner never."

Our fair female friends have for the last twoweeks been busily engaged in making clothes forthe men who enlist in the Confederate Army.Their efforts will only cease when we have no sol-diers to clothe.

If the men here were allactnated bythe sameexalted sentiments and emotions as are ou0 women,a very great work would be done. God bless thewomen, the temporal guides and salvation of men.WVithout them, slaves would we be-with them,freemen and natriots we are. We may be exter-minated, but hever subdued. The patriotic spiritthat animates the Southern people ceases onlywith death.

The Indians, through small stealing parties, arestill harrassing the outer frontier, but we have2000 men now stationed at different points, so wenomy confidently look for a sadden termination ofthese depredations.

The bandit Cortina has again appeared in Texas,but being whipped and routed on two occasions, hemay deem it best to remain on the west of the RioGrande, where he can remain in peace.

BIen McCulloogh has passed into Arkansas withhis regiment our news from him is of ancientdate. tie has sent out commissioners to treat withthe Indians. It is to be hoped that he will sue-ceed in making an advantageous treaty.

Our elections are coming on, butlittle interestistaken. None but good men offer for Governor, sothere is little danger in permitting the election togo by default. Oar present exeuentive bears him-self nobly, ever on the gui rive for what will for-ward Southern interests, and when seen, promptly

Letter from Virginia.

Lrsc.nreno, Va., Jane 22,1861.1,r. Editor-As you are doubtless aware, the

left wing of our Pelican regiment left Camp Moorelast Monday morning, 16th inst., at 9 A. M. It em-braces companies F, (Irish Volunteers) G, (Ameri-.an Rifles) H, (Crescent Rifes, B) I, (VirginiaBlues) and IK, (Livingston Rifles,) Cot. Hays incommand. We arrived here yesterday morning,having been fully five days on the road. Thefatigue, privations and delays of the trip wereamply compensated for by the pleasant and con-tinoal excitement afforded by the demonstrationsin our compliment along the route. But a detailedaccount of the same would, doubtless, be but arepetition of the published experience of allthe diifferent troops that have preceded us. I should injustice, however, to the people of Holly Springse,Miss., Huntsville, Ala., and Dublinand LIberty, Va,,record the solid hospitalities which greeted us atthose places, in the ature of bounly suppliedbreakfast tables. Soch attentions maketh thestomach glad as well ag.the heart. Worthy of note,too, is the evident change of sentiment along theroute of travel through East Tennessee. Withinthree weeks, one train, hering troops, had beentired into by some imp of Lincoln and anothertrain thrown off the track by the dastardly act ofditto. As we passed through this once benightedregion tilhe demonstrtions of favor were decidedlymore cordial and enthusiastic than what had yetgreevt us. - foortlle, thehot-bed"Ob Abolition-ism, the home of Andy Johnson, (now sloped tomore congenial climes) and the seat of a convention

llo being held, wilth a view of following the leadof the Wheeling Lincolnites, was gay in the displayof Confederate bunting and Tennessee girls, andresonaot with cheers for Jeff Davis from its male.prlpulatioun. I am satisfied from what I saw andbeard that Lincolnisnm is fast hiding its diminishedhead in East Tennessee, in fact that E. T. havingat last started into the Southern cause, is fond of itas we all, young and old, are fond of new thingsaid intend to mabe a " big thing " of it. Not in-alpropriately in this connection, I give you a copyof a note that enwrapped a bouquet thrown by aTennessee girl anl canght by one of our boys.S•olpressirg the name, I hope this use of the mis-sire msy be considered pardonable, if on no otherconsideration than that of showing the spirit ofthe Southern girls. Iere it is:

i"My Soldier Friends-May Heaven smile onyou ! Oh, may the God of Battles he with yen,

tiy beloved friends! It shall be my constantirayer while yoi are fighting to gain the victory.

0, sny it Ilese ogod fior all of our Southern sol-diers to return safe and crowned withlaurels. Tolay is thie day for rebellion against Secessionismat this village. I hope and trust if they do rebel,they may have one of the bloodiest times everknown since 1S12. May the last Lincolnite bekilled. I hope sincerely that you may all kill thelast Lincolnite, and not leave one Yankee to advo-cate thecause od abolition. I have but one brotherto go to fight for our Southern rights. Would toGod I had a dozen to go. ,May my old nativeState, Virginia, turn out her brave sons. Jf youneed any assistance whatever, send for me, andwill reader you all the assistance that is in mypower. May the grace of God rest upon you. 0,un friends-for I truly hold you as such-all you

can do is to give your hearts to Gad. I have al-ways gloried in the name of a soldier. It hasalways been my ambition to be a soldier; butsince that is impossible, I intend, at some futuretimie, to be a soldier's bride. I have five years towait. I have just entered my sixteenth year.Whoever gets this, I W: pray for your success.Be briave and patrioti ..e our great heroic andpatriotic Washington, who is 'ow sleeping be-neatl the sod, is his cold and silent tohnb, dream.lug not of the awful state and condition of ourcountry. Oh, that he were alive to-night! Putyour trust in God, as did Washington, and Godwill giv; you strength and courage to conqueryour eneimy. If yoi have to die or be killed, sellyour lives as dear as possible.

San yur, yours, oursyours.P. S. Good bye. May God bless you "" Who rorld'nt be a soldier '" now? Many such

compliments were showered upon our soldiersalong thile route. All of them bore words of wel-come--all of them invoked the Divine blessingupon as. One thirown by some-fair Abingtonlanwhicl conveyed its words of greeting and blessingin verse, and was written in a neat and nicellroounded ihand, that I am sure indicated the ap-pearance and charamcter of the fair writer, con-tained in tihe form of that inevitable female post-script the injunstionl: "Write to me, and tell meabout thie war," with name and address in full.itrappy soldrier, to have caoght " on the fly" thatelegant and pirgntrl little missive; you deserveto be unlhalppy the bahtnce of your life if you doinot write-always confining your communication,of coarse, to the subject of "the war."

But our " path of pleasantness" is now at anend, and our next march is to confront

" grim-vis-

aged war." Upon oar arriel here we found thatour righlt wving, diverted from our original destina-tion, RLichmond, bad moved on to Manassas Gap,whither we follow as soon as we can get transpor-tation; for troops are pouring in here so fast fromall the Soutlhrn States, that it is hard work tokeep them moving. We have the first chance.however, whllich will probably offer to-night or to-iorrrv toorning. From Manssassa, perhaps to

\s'chester; but if i know, it would be improperito me to say. Our companies are encamped atthie Fair'Ground. They are aIl well, and have hadthe good luck of getting thus far without an acci-dent. Thie companies marched separately fromthe railroad depot to the camp ground yesterday.Our boys, thle American Rifles, were fortunateenough to get the regimolental band as an escort,and as the line of march was through the princi-pal streets of tihe city, had a good opportunity toshow themselves. They looked, marched andaianurl-ted admirably, and have been highly com-plimented from all quarters. r.

The Cincinnati Commercial, after having care-fully "reviewed the list of military appointmentsmade from Ohio," trembles for the fate of theAbolition army, "if a similar lack of judgmentand discrimination has been made in the wholelist.",
