We..understand that the War Department has de- termined to raise two new regiments forthwih--one from Tennessee and the other from Michigan There are ten more companies in East Tennessee who have offered their services than could be ac- ceptcd under the last requsition. As these are still anxious to serve in the field, and were not willing to abandon the idea until the government had final y disposed of tho subject, they will constitute one of the regiments which now called for. Thus they will be better prepared to march to Mexico and take the feld than perhaps any other regiment ha, could be called out.
 The volunteers of Michigan have manifested the greatest eagerness, to their country and the other regiment, s therefore, to be organized in that young and patriotic State.
 Who can doubt the military spirit of our people the capacity of the government to raise as many troops as they may demand for the conquest of the Mexicans ?- Washington Union.

 The Volunteer General Officers.

While the Federal press denounces tae appoint ments of general officers made by the President. it is fact that speaks volumes, that every general of ficer that has been wounded has been one of the very nsrn thus maligned by our opponents. It is certainly no discredit to such generals as Scorr, TAYLOR, WORTH, Twiocs, and Wool, that they have escaped the dangers of the conflict compara- lively uninjured. The world knows where they were and impartial history will hand their na aes down to an admiring and grateful posterity. But when we sec that PILLOW, BurLER, and sHELps, three of the major-generals selected by Mir. Polk have each been most severely injured, know that they have been in the very forefront of peril, and have won their bloody iaurels in the very crater of the battc There, is in this fact, stern rebukc of the accusations of that party and it's leaders, who are forever assaiing the Executive for having be- slowed his confidence upon these distinguished men- peansgip paaiaa.

A couple of Yankees have been doing the Peo- pie "Down East" by very ingenious method. They pretended to be Deaf Mutes, and went about soliciting subscriptions for writing school, ana sympathy for their situation produced large schools They lately tried 1t at Exeter with the same resal and the News Letter says: ,,
 They kept school for few nights in the Townaah' and gave apparent satisfaction. Among ihe schoi, ars were several young ladies-kind souls; one o whom whispered sporiively to another, Poor nn' fortunates. they are pretty--l should like 10 KISS one ofthen" When one of the Mates, who could remain silent no longer exclaimed, ''You may, my deary. if you please!"

The Washington Union, of Tuesday night. last says:
 -"We have seen some late speculations in thepub- lie prints about the reinforceAeBts which have been sent or are en route for Gen. Scott's column. With out undertaking to be very precise as to the num- bers, we think we may ventare 10 state. from the data which we have seen. that, without counting Gen Piercu's detachment which has actually joined Gen. Scott, bni counting Major Laliy's corps, the renIoreements destined to joined him can scarcely fall short of l6B BOO troops and this too, inaepend ent of the two new regiments which have just been called into service. The whole column oi Gensral Scott in the heid when collected iogether-asd thii operation was rapidly advancing to it's ial maturity Twill give him from 25000 to 30, ,000--and nearel the last number than the first. and perhaps ex ceeding it."
