success, and although their general tendency is TO pro-
duce superficial results, and disase for laborious
study yet they have achieved much good and the pre-

not greater than those of preceding generations.

We understand that the War Department has deter
mined to raise two new regiments forthwith-one from
Tennessee, and the other from Michigan. There tie
more companies in East Tennessee who have ofere
their services than could be accepted under the last equ
son. As these companies are still anxious to serv
in the field and willing to abandon the idea IN
til the government had finally disposed of the subject
they will constitute OF the regiments which nov
called for Thus they will be better prepared march
Mexico and take the field, than perhaps any other req
ment that could be called out
The volunteers OF Michigan have manifested the great
est eagerness TO serve their country and the other reg
ment is, therefore, TO be organized in that young an
patriotic State
Who can doubt the military spirit OF people, or h'
capa city OF the government TO raise many troops
they may demand for the conquest of the Mexcans
