Thej New York limes publishes the following
dispalfeh from its correspondent at Alexandria
"Xexandria, Va., Oet. 29.
"The order remanding the old soldiers to th6t
respective regiments will have' recently enlisted in
the regular army .has produced the greatest satis-
faction. Many of the_oldest anti best regimentn ifi
the service were rapidly becoming deciinated-grOm
the eifect of the order granting soldiers in the vo-
lunteer corps the privilege of re-enlisting 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
were rapidly reduced to shadows, anti the effect in
a few
days would have been the complete disorga-
nisation of the very flower of many of the peninsu-
lar commands, and the mustering out.of service of
many of our ablest and most valuable officers.

" Vast storehouses for army purposes are in the
course of erect ion in this place, and subsistence sup-
plies are rapidly pouring into themas 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 defences of Washington on
!his sido the river, and 1)114 preparation is =king
in all the camps under the probability of a perma-
nent residence here for the winter, and the regular
supplies of fuel are being conveyed to the encamp-
ment. Still these preparations do not positively
determine that the troops are to remt.in here for the
winter; but the fact that these preparations are per-
mitted to progress without interruption, or orders to
the contrary, conforms so mate-Hal:3, with the pro-
gramme of last fall, that the troops justly in fer 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 insufficient to meet the necessary wants
of the official department, This want will be reme-
died in a few days, however, as a large number of
vessels laden with building materials aro known to
be on their way hither from eastern ports.
" But the soldiers meanwhile are by no means
allowed to remain in idleness. The old fortifications
are being materially strengthened, bridges are being
built, 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."

Three New Orleans clergymen have arrived at
New York as state prisoners.
The people in the eastern part of North Carolina
