Regiment, the most of whom have quit Wash
ton in disgust and gone home. This was III
Second New FORK Regiment, Col. TompkinS
The Regiment originally consisted of &c
members four or FIVE hundred of them hav
passed through Baltimore on their return fror
Washington. The reporter of the South learn
ed from some of their members that, up to th
Goth, neither threats nor persuasion had il
duced more than three hundred and fifty
