The New York 26nes publishes the following
di patch from its correspondent at Alexandria :--
"Alexandria, Va., Oct. 29.
"The order remanding the old soldiers to their
re pective regiments who have recentlyenlisted in
th regular army has prodneed the gr,!fvfrst satis-
faCtion. Many of the oldest and I),,st regiment lin
the service were rapidly becoming decimated from
the effect of the order granting soldiers in the vo-
lunteer corps the privilege of re=eirlisting -as regu-
lars. Hundreds were daily rushing to the recruit-
ing stations for that purpose about Alexandria, and
discipline was ridiculed under the plea of intention
to, enlist in the regulars. Many of the regiments
I were rapidly reduced to shadows, and the effect in
a few days would have been the complete disorga-
ni ation of the very flower of many of the peninsu-
la commands, and the mustering out of service of
many of our ablest and most valuable.offieers.
." Vast storehouses for artily purposes are in the
course of erection iu this place, and subsistence sup-
plies are rapidly pouring into them as fast as the
work will permit. Forage in prodigious quantities
is also being piled up on the wharves, and all sup-
plies belonging to the quartermaster's and commis-
sary departments are being landed in the most
vigorous manner at all the Government wharves.
' Thousands of stores are•being forwarded to the
troops occupying the defenoes of Washington on
this side the river, and busy preparation is making
11 the camps under the probability of a perma-
; residence here for the winter, and the regular
supplies of fuel are being conveyed to the encamp-
mint. Still these preparations do not positively
determine that the troops are to remain here for the
winter; but the fact that these preparations are per-
mitted to progress without interruption, or orders to
the contrary, conforms so materially with the pro-
gramme of last fall, that the troops justly, infer they
will not be disturbed in the occupation of their
winter quarters here. Such has been the demand
for lumber for this purpose, that the supply in
Alexandria has been swept away, and the supplies
arriving are insufficientto meetthe necessary wants
of the official department, This want will be reme-
died in a few days, however, aa a large number of
vessels laden with building materials are known to
be On their way hither from eastern ports.
" But the soldiers meanwhile are by no means-
allowed to remain in idleness. The aldfortifications
are being materially strengthened, bridges are being
bitilt, old roads repaired and new ones constructed,
while new and important lines of breastwOrks are
being thrown up and the entire line of defence ren-
dered as impregnable as skilful engineering and in-
defatigable labour can make it."
