Whereas, / have this day received a
cd lion from Major General Gaines,
ID of June, from the information
detailed Ia which, there seems to be lille
doubt lhat the war between The MeNcans
and Texans is row raging, and has, or will
assume a highly sanguinary and eXteFm-
Mating character. Some of our citizens
have already been killed BY the Indians,
and further hostilities are to be npprehend-
ed With a view Of preventing this, he has
called upon me for ten companies Of mount
ed volunteers; and in compliance with this
requisition, /, CHARLES LYNCH, Gov
ernor Of the State Of Mississippi, do issue
this, my proclamation, calling upon and So
Letting my iellow-citizens TO turn out, to
form and organise themselves into comPa-
nies, and march with the least possible de-
lay TO aid this wary and veteran comman-
der in maintaining inviolate our national
neutrality--to stay the work of desolation,
and to preserve our borders from a threaten-
ed, destructive, and savage warfare,


The citizens Of Mississippi have, on all
occasions, manifested a zeal and alacrity in
relieving their fellow-sufarers, affording the
most brilliant examples of philanthropy,
chivalry and patriotism. The fact of our
border citizens having bled, and their ex-
posed condition to the merciess savage, is
an appeal that am satisfied will be res
ponded to by the most expeditions prepara-
ton and march to the scene of action The
Executive will feel the highest qualification,
and will witness such movement with
pride and exultaton, and nothing shall be
wanting on his part to facilitate the expedi-
ton,


The companies raised in the first division
will report themselves to Major Gen, A. P
Cunningham; those in the second and third
divisions to Major General Ii. w. Dunlap

in the fourth division to Major General f.
L. Acoe, at Columbus, The Major Gene

In testimony whereof ! have hereunto set
my hand, and caused to be aliixed-the great
