d Governor Moore, we learn, has are
been compelled, by a sense of duty bane
i and a proper regard for the security frier
" iof our State, to refuse permission to
e volunteer companies to leave the A
- State to engage in hostilities in dis- Tril
taut parts of c Confederacy. The tic f
at requisitions o the Government have
II been fully and promptly met. The t
e troops sent have not only exceeded tion
the drafts, blut have been fully equip- ing
e ped by the State and people. In ad- doe,
,a dition to these, a niumber of inde rpenct
rs, dent battalions and companies have
IQ- obtained the permission of the Con- ints:
'm federate authorities to enter the army, I
of the Government, and are now in wor
' the field. The contest has been to this
prevent too large a force from leaving mip
the State ; and in this the Governor whi
to has acted wisely, though not always -f
re- successfully, the military ardor of wol
ed. our young men defying all restraint. us
At present the State has over
twelve thousand men in the field, ful
ly equipped and in a g:igh state of
discipline. This is a larger force B
m than the United States Government err
ing had at the commencement of this she
ge, war; and considering our population, lit
nts and the large demand upon our mili- the
tary resources for home defense, isas
large a force as the State ought to On
St put in the field. The remainder of thi
ey our military, which includes nearly an
we our whole male population, should in the
x. the meantime be fully organized for
defense and for operations in the vi
ng cinity. If every other of the Con- nt
ave federate States has been as active, di
zealous and effictent in the cause as to;
vibe Louisiana, President Davis ought to
have a force at his command capable
not only of repelling the enemy from
rail, Virginia, but of driving him beyond
ub- the Maryland line. " or have weanf in

SadHis plan is to get a letterof introduc- r

pre- here to President Davis, then to visit
3ov- him at his rooms in your city, and ask
ourfor a private friendly interview; and
then, under the gaise of friendship, to

k Important to Correspondents.
There being considerable doubt in
the misds of our Southern people ats to
whether or not letters sent outside of
the Contederate States, will reach the
r place of destination by placing the B
U. S. stamps upon letters to be for
wa rded, besides prepaying for the
same at the rates established by our
government, we append the following,
h which appeared in the Louisville
id Courier of 10th instant :
Pt Postmaster Speed notified one of our
s' prominent merchants, Saturday, that
to hereafter all letters to parties here
from any of the Confederate States
r- will be forwarded to the dead-letter
te. office at Washington. This, we un
derstand, includes letters prepaid
with U. S. stamps. We trust there
ues is some mistake in this; but, ift' it is
er true, the people of 'Louisville and the
irs public generally should have been
ng notified.
