filled with the accounts OF the enrolment and
equipment of volunteers for the war upon the
South.
The New York Times says;
The military force of the city continues to in
crease with each succeeding day. Yesterday the
American flag was displayed from every prominent
building in the city, and loated from innumerable
masts in the harbor. The arrival early in the
morning. of a regiment of 500 men from Massa-
chusetts, on their way to w ashington, increased
the enthusiasm for enlistng, and the various re-
cruiting places were overrun with applicants The
announcement that the Seventh Regiment-the pet
and pride of New York-had received marching
orders, was the subject of general conversation,
and OF anxious interest to the families and friends
of its members. The enrolment of volunteers
continued with unabated vigor in all parts of the
city. 1t is probable that the Rhode Island Regi-
ment will arrive this morning, routesfor Wash
ington. From all parts of the North and W est,
also, the reports which reach us are of the most
satisfactory character. The military spirit is tho
roughly aroused.
The Washington correspondence of the N. Y.
Herald of yesterday contains the following in refer
ence to the Seventh Regiment:
Col. Butterfeld arrived here this morning from
New York, for the purpose of making arrange
ments respecting the Seventh Regiment. He called
upon Gen. Scott who informed him that be had
last evening, despatched orders for them to pro-
ceed by rail Immediately to this city. 1t is under
stood that they will be quartered for the present in
will probably be permanently stationed on Capitol
Hill.
The commander of the regiment Col Lefferts
was also informed of the movements which are un-
derstood to be on foot in Baltimore to prevent
troops from crossing that city ,and accordngly to
be prepared for any emergency that may arise
The same precaution has also been given to the
troops at Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and other
points. They toH therefore, come prepared to fight
heir ,oay to the federal capital, If 1t should be ne
cessary.
