Reinforcements are on their march, to unite with the besieging
army. By the last report, our force in Bejar was only one hundred and fifty men strong. The citizens of Texas must rally to
the aid of our army, or it will perish. Let the citizens of the f

action, united with valor, alone can achieve the great work.
The services of all are forthwith required in the field.
