Our private advices from Washington in "a mill
tary point of view, are somewhat Interesting
1t is understood to be the intention of the Presi-
dent, il the bill to raise the additional regiments
of regulars passes the Senate as it came from the
House, and becomes law, to accept voluntee
regiments, to be enlisted regulars, and to nomi
nate the officers of their selection to the Senate
for confirmation.
This will be capital and highly popular move
mept, and one that will be the means of immedi-
atey filling the regiments.

THE Ten REGIMENTS Although we highly
approve of this contemplated addition to our re-
guar army, as an evidence of vigorous action in
the present war, the only means by which an
early and honorable peace can be obtained, we
are nevertheless strongly impressed with the idea
that the description OF troops asked for has not
been carefully enough considered 1t appears TO
us that the proportion OF cavalry is by means
adequate to the nature or wants of the service in
the campaign before u.s. particularly as orr troops
advance further into the interior, and open coun
try If we mistake not, there is but one regiment
of regular cavalry, the I'd dragons, at present
available for field service in Mexico, the first reg-
ment of dragons being, for the most part, en-
gagged in New Mexico and California; while in
this arm of the service the Mexcans are remark
ably numerous and efficient
We should suppose that the great difficulty OF
procuring disciplined bodies of volunteer caval.
ny, or efficient officers, should make this most
important branch the peculiar care of the govern
ment and it is TO be regretted that it has not hi.
therto received that encouragement and attention
here, which the advancement of military science
has secured for it amongst the armies OF Europe
The disposition there has been to increase and
give the utmost efficiency to that arm, particular
ly SO with regard to light cavalry, of which most
useful and favorite force, strange as it may APP
pear, we have not single regiment. The duties
belonging to this arm have, consequently, to be
performed by either our cavalry of the line in
faniry, to the great detriment and inconvenience
OF the service in general. An efficient and
powerful cavalry is indispensable ia war Victo-
res may, and have been won without cavalry, but
they ca mot be successfully and rapidly followed
up, and ken full advantage of, and have on nu-
merous occasions led to no important results
where deficiency or absence OF this arm has
existed. flying enemy can soon rally, it not
rapidly overtaken and attacked in the moment
OF disorder for this service cavalry of the line
particularly adapted, well as to engage with
the cavalry and infantry Of the enemy; while the
no less important duties of accommodating and
giving intelligence Of the enemy, securing the
country, feeling the way for, and masking the
operations OF the army guarding the outposts,
foraging, skirmishing, hanging on the TANKS of
the enemy, cutting off his conveys, and num-
berless other du'ies that harrass and embarrass
troops Of the line, belong peculiarly to light ca
valry II, in fact, as Marshal Marmont has aptly
SAID, "torms the eye and ear Of an army, and
without it a General marches blindfod, and is
surrounded with danger at every step"
Thus viewing the subject, as we believe, cor
recty, we shall sincerely rejoice should these re.
glory and prosperity Of our brave army, find
favor with those to whom its future destiny is en-
trdsted.
