THE ARMY.-A letter from Washington
states that the House Military Committee
will soon report bill organizing the three
new regiments asSed for by the Seerstary Of
War, and authorizing an increase of rank and
file in any emergency to one hundred and
twenty men per company.
Brevet Brigadier General Hitchcock, now
serving on the Pacific coast, will return home
via China and the Overland Route. The men
of his regiment have been transferred, and
the officers are expected home by every
steamer to recruit.
THE NORTHERN MAIL.-The Marion Star,
speaking Of the transfer of the mails to the
Washington and Manchester Rail Road,
says:
awe are of the impression, from nforma-
tion received, that the mail will be carried
over the road as soon as the rail roads south
of it will conform to the schedule time a.
greed on. This we learn will soon be DONE
After tomorrow there will be but three miles
of staging on the Wilmington and Manches-
ter road, and none, we should think, after the
2Oth inst, so that there is no good reason
why the mail should be kept from this route
longer than that tme."

lowing paragraph in late number Of the
National Era, which we take pleasure in pac-
ing upon record, that the people of the South
