MILITARY PREPARATIONS.

The Washington {" Union" Of the 4lh instant
says: -
Il is hoped that the army bill may become
law tomorrow. 1t was recommitted to the Mill
tary Committce of the Senate today, along with
the amendments of the House of Representatives.
Too much time has already been lost The cam
paign requires every exertion to be made to raise
the ten regiments, and send them at once to the
field. - -.t KS tiaafs ..si -ef..a,5e
"We understand that of the ten regiments of
volunteers recently called out, the two from Penn
sylvania, one from New York, one from South
Carolina, one from Mississippi, and the one from
Louisiana are fastening to the field
"Much the largest portion of the Virginia re-
giment are on their way.
"The other regiments are nearly organized,
and will probably proceed to their place of desti-
nation in two weeks.
No exertions will be spared to equip the ten
new regiments as soon as the bill has passed"
North Carolina lags behind, and is suffering in
her character through the wretched mismanage-
ment and bad conduct of her Governor and Le-
gslature. If the democratic party had been in
ment was made, that Regiment would have been
Christening 10 the field with the volunteers from
Pennsylvania and other States; but Federalism,
and Mexican Whiggery, and opposition to the
War have exeTted their influences, and the result
is before the world We make this statement OF
facts "more in sorrow than in anger"-but we
consider it due, not only to the democratic party
but to the character Of the State, that the truth
should be known to the Government at Wash
ington.
