DANIEL GRAHAM, Register.

We lay before readers very interesting letter
from an able officer upon the great battle We suboin
it short extract from another letter, which advises
that there should be no relaxation of exertons but
that on the contrary, the army of Gen. Scott should be
reinforced 80 as to bear with more tremendous force upon
the Mexicans We concur fully in these views. and we
have already stated that such is the purpose OF the ad
mnistraton With this design, they have recently call
ed out six new regimentsone from Ohio, (Which is en-
route for Vera CRUZ two from Kentucky, two from
Tennessee, and one from Indiana
We were gratfed TO learn to-day, from an officer of
Indiana that although the requsition had only been
received on the last days OF the month of August, five
companies had already been accepted, and fifteen
had offered their services.
similar spirit is displaying itself in Kentucky. The
Lexington Observer, Of Wednesday last, states that
twelve companies had been reported to the adjutant
general at Frankfort, under the recent proclamation of
the governor, up to Monday morning last Thus one
regiment is filed and two companies reported for the
next But one company had then been reported from
this congressional district and that from the county OF
Scott Not doubt is entertained that the reguistion
snH be filled by Monday nert-the time fixed by the
governor for arranging the regiments"
We perceive from the Nashville Union that Tennessee
is also in motion To-nights western mail brings us the
memphis Eagle" of Friday last which states that
company of volunteers sis rapidly being organized in
and that another is forming at Germantown
under Messrs A. L. Yancy and W. Ledbetter under this
last requison from the War Department and that, in
fact "West Tennessee easily fill of the two reg
ments required from this State"
There cannot be doubt that General Scott will be
strongly reinforced, and will be able to control the Mex
cans, to peace; or, if treaty be already made
to secure ITS execution.
