Activity Among Troops In the East

Some ideas of activity among troops in the
East may be gathered for the following, from
the New York Post of Wednesday:
By tomorrow evening twelve regiments,
numbering about ten thousand men, will
have been sent by way of this city to the
seat of war, if no unforeseen circumstances
prevent.
Unusual reserve is manifested on the part
of the military authorities in regard to the
destination of these regiments. The three
which left so suddenly on Sunday evening
the Third Rhode Island the Eighth Maine and
the Third New Hampshire-are understood
to have been at least part of coast txpe-
dition, which has for considerable period,
been projected and the destination of those
who have since departed though nominally
for Washington, is matter simply of specu-
lation. The officers-those to whom inform.
alton of future movements is generally con-
fided-profess to be entirely ignorant in this
respect and the remark, III substance, that
the commandant of a regiment no longer
knows where he is going," is not uncommon.
Colonel Stevens's Albany regiment is ex-
pected TO arrive at this city this afternoon or
evening. 1t embarked on the steamer Nc.
Donald and two barges last night, which,
however were detained at the "bar." The
men are fully uniformed and armed.
A regiment from Buffalo, under command
of Colonel Bidwell, is expected TO arrive this
evening or tomorrow morning. This regl-
ment is nearly tull
Another of the State regiments (from Ell

pected to arrive tomorrow. 1t numbers
nearly thousand men, well equipped for
the war.

ment, to arrive this afternoon, the Seventh

Arrangements are in progress by which
