LOCAL MILITARY MATTERS.
THE VOLUNTEER FORCE.

ORGANIZATION OF INCOMPLETE REGIMENTS.
Under the orders received from the War Department
and promulgated yesterday by Gov. Morgan, new
impetus given TO the recruiting busines', and the
tents in the Park were thronged from morning until
night by applicants for military hOnors. As matter
of course nearly all the eighty individuals with the
title of Colonel who had received authority from
the War Department to raise regiment, were
thoroughly disgusted with the order and will probably
leave the service-a movement that will not, we
opine be likely to seriously nure the raising of more
troops Many of these L" Colonels" have been ter
rble drag on the recruiting business and the sooner
they are out OF the way the better
In accordance with the new ORDER all the officers or
commandans of regiments in process OF organization
in this city, are making out reports and considerable
number were handed in at the headquarters OF the
Commander.inCh Chief at No. 81 Walker street. yester-
day. As soon as these reports received here, and
throughout the State the Governor will probably issue
an order making known his plans for the early compile
ton of the regiments called for from the State Of New
York.
Yesterday morning, an informal meeting was
held at Ouartemaster.General Arhurs office, at
which the Commander-in- Chief with bis staff,
Brig. Gen. Yates and Brig Viele were present,

for combined action in the recruiting service.
The camp at Scarsdae is 10 be continued with the
original design, viz camp Of instruction for all classes
of volunteers. Gen. Viele who was in command, has
been transferred to q important position, and
pro tm. all the camps in and about New-York lex-
ceptng the one at Hcmpsead, were placed under the
command Of Gen. Yates.
For the present, and until all the reports are made
IL cd hv bp
Department as do not appear hopeles,ly weak, will be
allowed further time and receive all necessary assist
ance.
It is probable that the State reqositon will be filed
without resorDg to drafting The progress OF recruit
ing for the State has hitherto been slow. The number
of uniBspected at the depot in this city does not rach
1000, and those at Albany aud Ewira probably not
greater number. These, with the large number ofse'
cruits which will offer in the country when the psrYsst
ia over. and tho addition of some Of the militia regi
meus which are reorganiring viii probably soon bring
up the whole number OF men to 25 600.
