TEE REGUM,kR4.

The act Of Congress Of July 29th, atom
crease the present military establishments OF
the United States" authorized nine reri-
ments Of infantry, one Of cavalry and one
of artillery, to be added to the regular
army-the infantry regiments 10 conaist Of
either two or three batta1ions Of 500 men
each, in the discretion. Of the President
who has directed that they be raised and
organized on the three battalion plan. The
officers were appointed and q portion Of
them set to work recruiting q month OF
more before the act wns passed. BY the
terms Of the act, they are to be disbanded
within one year after the close Of the war
the officers from civil life tc be e1ischRrg-
cd and those from the regular service to
be returned to their former commands, .:
These regiments hare been recruiting
four months with various success One of
them lCol. Ca1ington's) has, Ne believe,
obtained 500 men, OF one~third of the re.
quired number. The others are a lone
way behind, having from 100 to 400 men
each Assuming that 800 is their. average
strength at this time, they will not be filed
up until the first Of June, 1853, unless some
fresh impetus be given them; and it is the
hope and prayer Of all men that the war
may be-. finished before that time. We
Know not what constitutional difficulties
may lie in the way, but VIC make the sug
gestion for what it Is worth, that the com
panies Of infantry ALREADY raised be thrown
INTO one regiment or two regiments, or
three regiments if they Will fill 50 many,
and put in active service regardless Of their
numerical designation. The three or four
Thousand d recruits who have been obtained
are undoubtedly the best drilled and most
effective soldiers in the service, except the
remnant of the old regular army. They
have been under tie despotic discipline and
careful instruction, which characterize all
efficient armies, and are hence worth at
laast twice their numbe: Of average volun-
teers. It will certainly be no hardship to
the recruiting officers that their men are
taken from them, in some instances, and
THROWN INTO ACTIVE service, iuasmuch as
their dignities and eno1uments arc not at
all impaired thereby. IF it is worth while
10 have the regular army increased at all
II is worth while 70 have it done while the
war lastz. The cost Of maintaining the
soldiers in barracks is as great, minus
powder snd bsll, IS maintaining them in
the field, and surely the country needs
their strength at the earliest moment that
it can be made available.
