laurels of that contest will be left to be j
reaped by the sword of the gallant Tay
LOR. When the main armv shall have
been concentrated, the hero of Lundy's
Lane will lead them the Capital of
Mexico.
We understand that a high military
authority in Washington has expressed
the opinion that the volunteer forces
cannot be concentrated on the Rio Grande
before the close of August of the open
ing of September. The task of collect
ing such force from our widely extended
territory, organizing and preparing them
for the field, cannot be effected, even
with the most strenuous exertions, before
:hat period. The army will consist of
twenty odd thousand men, and will be
jicvided with all that is necessary to in
sire triumph.
This measure will meet the approba
tion of the entire American public.

The most vigorous counsels are now
