SIR On the Goth of April had occasion to advise the
Department that hoses had actually broken out and that
in had found it necessary the authority
with which vested, and call upon the Governors of
Louisiana and Texas for force, each, of four regiments
The eight regiments thus called for would make force OF
nearly s. 900 men, which deemed sufficient to the
wants of the service in this quarter


AT the time that wrote to the Governor of Louisiana
quesng this volunteer force addressed letter to Gen. Ganes
desiring him assist organizing these regiments and hav
ing them promptly supplied. In my communication TO the
Governor the organization very exactly prescribed being
that indicated from your office the 18th OF August lS45
nd however, that this organization has been exceeded and
moreover that Gen. Gaines has called for many voun-
than deemed necessary, extending the call to other
States besides Louisiana.


1t WILL of course, be for the Government to decide whether
the future operations in this quarter will require the amount OF
force (entirey unknown) which coming hither. only de-
say that this reinforcement beyond the eight regiments
mentioned above, asked for by me, and that
making the call of the Goth OF April well knew that if the
volunteers 1t for the purpose of clearing the rve and
performing such further service the Government might
direct that thought proper to ask for reinorcenents.


II is extremely doubtful whether the foot regiments from
Texas be rased and shall desire the Governor who
expected here, to suspend the call for them None of the
mounted companies except Capt Prices already in service,
have reported 10


fear that the volunteers have exhausted the supply of
deposited in New Orleans for tho of this army. We
greatly in want of them and request that immediate
taken send direct Brasos Santiago say Loco
tents for the Of the army in the field The tents of the
9TH Infantry up make sand-bags during the
bombardment Of Fort Brown.
