A statement is now in course Of publication
through the newspapers, with moro or less varia-
ton, that the War Department has made requisi-
ton for additional volunteers under the $4,000 act.
We see it in two or three of the Pennsylvania pa
pers, in the Baltimore Clipper, &c, and three Of
the New York papers. II is destined, we presume,
to 60 the rounds, at a time when such intelligence
runs like wld-Gre through the country. For ex.
ample, the Baltimore Clipper says: 1t is reported
that the President Of the United States has made
requistions upon Pennsylvania and other States for
additional volunteers to reinforce the army under
General Taylor" The "New York Sum- has the
following paragraph:


"TRooPs CALLED FoR.-VoLunTEKRs AND Rgcp-
LARsThe President Of the United States is said to
have called on the northern and eastern States for
the number Of volunteer regiments enrolled under
the law OF Congress authorizing the equipment Of
fifty thousand men for service in Mexico. Captain
Thornton, of the heroes Of the Rio Grande is in
this city enlisting for the regular service. About
seven hundred men are now on Governors island
ready to sail for Tampico or Point isabel in the
steamship Massachusetts,. The Presidents requisi-
ton the governor Of Pennsylvania fnr six regi.
ments from that State received at Harrisburg on
Monday"


Whether, or when, the government will call for
some volunteers, we Know not, and it is possible
they have not yet decided; but no such call has
been made. As to Captain Thornton, who is
reported in one of these papers as being now i'll
New York recruiting men for the service, we know
it scarcely be so, had the pleasure of see
ing him IN this city to-day. This gallant officer
comes here to ask the favor Of being relieved from
that service and be sent to the active duties of
the camp. r"."-H


Another paragraph is going the rounds about
some remarks said to have been made in the cars
by the gallant Bergman, late lieutenant Of the
Truxtun. II relates to an attack on Vera Cruz. We
have seen it already in about 20 different papers.
Lieutenant Bergman was in this city three four
days ago, and we have no doubt has been misun.
derstood in the conversation alluded to.


We cannot be mistaken 10 stating that vigorous
prosecution of the war is the order of the day.
But we will not undertake TO develop the plan of the
campaign. The events will duly develop them.
