Reiaforcemens.-It may be reasonably csii
mated that ihere arc now some 1000 Of the new
leyies en- route for the scat of war, or 10 be en-
route in all the month Of May--from jO00to 6O0G
of whom should reach their destination by the
last of that month. Several officers Of each COM
puny are left behind for the purpose Of Filling up
the several regiments 10 the maximum Standard
100 priya,es 10 each compaoy. Col. Tibbatts re-
ports TINT, in this way Lis regiment the 10th
infantry, may number 1000 strong, al Point lsa-
bel, by the 3lst Of May. Tho same may proba-
bly, be said Of tho 18th infantry. The strength Of
the ten new regiments, say by the end of June,
in Mexico and t,s route for tho scat of war, may
thus probably range Gom 5000 to l0,0C0-certain-
Iy not less than the former number, and possibly
equal to the latter Washington Union, .uay

morning General Quitman's brigade Of volunteers
was 10 take up the line of march to Pnebn, and
Tomorrow Col. Campbell was TO move; but the
time for which many Of the volunteers enlisted
has nearly lranspred, and us Sea. Scott has as
cerlained positively that but few Of them will re-
enlist he has determined upon disbnnding them
here, aud will send them all home. This will OF
course not only delay but alter his whole plan of
operations, and the impression with many is that
he will 90 no farther than Puebla with his pre-
sent force. The volunteers going home are the
Georgia, Alabama, and LIST and I'd Tennessee re-
gimens. No one can blame them for this move
lnent. Not only is their time out, but they are
out Of clothing and out Of many Of the comforts
which make even Camp fo bearabe.'
