Respecting the United States volunteer forces IN
Mexico, the Phiadeph United States Gazette says
that Major General Pauerson's division Of volnn
teers was to have been composed Of Gen Shields
brigade, composed of two regiments of Illinois vol
unteers, and the ST. Louis Legion; General Pillows
brigade, two regiments Of infantry, and one regi-
ment of mounted men, all from Tennessee; and Gen
Qniman's brigade of one regiment from MISSISSIPPI
pi, one from Alabama, and one from Georgia, and a
battalion from Baltimore. THIS number of men will
be reduced, however, by the disbandng of the ST.
Louis Legion in consequence of the companies com
losing it declining to accept the twelve months
condition.
Major Gen, Buffers division consists OF the Ken
lucky brigade, composed Of three regiments from
that State, under the command Of General Marshall
three regiments from the State Of OHIO, commanded
by Gen. Hamer; and three regiments from the STATE
of Indiana, commanded by General Lane. The r.
sdue of the volunteers and regulars are under the
command Of Major Gen, Taylor. Thus, it will be
seen, that all three of the Major Generals are to be
together, leaving General Woods command, until
he shall have marched upon and taken Chihuahua
a separate and distinct corps.-Baltimore AMERICAN
