We issue this Ertrr sheet, in advance of our reg resting-the spritstirring news, just received thai WAR has begun upon our South Western frontier That Mexico has commenced hostilities-has actu- ally shed the blood of our people-upon our o,on soil

 GEN. TAYLOR, with his little 'sarmy of occupa- tion," numbering about 2,So0 men, has been sur rounded by large Mexican force-probably some 10000 troops-and is gallantly holding them at bay, until achievements from our South Western States can reach him; when he will march against the enemy, and, ale vindicate the rights of our coun- try, and prove the prowess of our arms.

 This state of affairs speaks, al once to the heart ot every American citizen; and makes an appeal to his patriotism, which cannot fail of receiving a ready, cheerful, and gallant response.

 It will be received by the people of our State, not only with appreciation, but in spirit ofardent and jealous readiness 10 meet the contingencr it sug gests.'

 We have nothing to add to the brief, but pointed and stirring appeal which our gallant Commander in Chief makes to the patriotism and gallantry ofour Citizen Soldiers. That such an appeal will elicit prompt and enthusiastic response there is not a douht
