Whilst tbe Confederate authorities will doubtless do their doty through the Aj iuy and the State lb-serves.. now organized nnd in the tield, under Brigadier General Ones- i nut, towards the defence ot the State, the present military condition of the country requires that every man who can wield .ttvehpon should lift in enmn Arrrn niTtitmn fur lltn i the same object. The annexed orders provide, for audi organizations ns tho Executive is authorized to rc quire under the law ; and it is ovpected that i every onejwho is liable will, without excuse,;, roily to the colors of the State, in his appropri- j ate organization. But the iorcc now niost useful for nil our ! military purposes is W mounted force; and ihnt I (it. van only be voluntary).

Many of them are doing good in the ' field. Let those at home unite with their, younger fellow citizens in organizing companies for mounted service.
