that most important order will soon be
issued from headquarters, informing the
Governors of the several free States that
no more regiments, batteries, or indepen.
dent companies must be raised or received
by them, except upon the requisition Of the
War Department. The regiments, DC,
now forming will be completed; unless il
shall be deemed more advantageous to the
service to assign the men already raised to
incomplete organizations already in the
field. General Superin:endents of the
Volunteer recruiting service will be appoint
ed for all the States, and recruiting in each
will be directed upon the system pursued
in the regular army. These Superintend-
ents will be officers of the regular army
retired officers if possible, or officers of ar
tillery not serving in the field. Depots
for the collection and instruction of re-
recruits under command of the Superin-
tendents, will be established at the follow
ing places, and such other as shall be con-
sidered advantageous in each of the States.
Those in the West are: Minnesota, Fort
Smelling; Iowa, Davenport; Wisconsin,
Madison; Missouri, Jefferson or Benton
Barracks: Michigan, Detroit; Illinois,
Springfield; Indiana, Indianapolis; Ohio,
Columbus; Kentucky, Louisville.
The enlistment papers for volunteers will
be the same as for regulars. Clothing will
be issued for them at the State Depots.-
Commanders Of regiments in the field
wanting troops will make requisitions d.
rectly on the Superintendents for their re-
spectiye States.
No more cavalry will be accepted by
the Government, and it is tho purpose Of
the commanding General to muster out Of
service all cavalry recruits in incomplete
regiments, unless they will consent 10 come
in as infantry. The number Of cavalry al
ready amounts to between sixty and sew
enty thousand, much more than the Gov
ernment can use.
The Heralds dispatch says information
has been received that one clause in the
treaty with Mexico provides for loan of
$l0,OOO,O00 by our Government, to be
paid in five annual sums of $2,O0O,OO0
each, in return for the mercantile advanta-
ges and transit of United States troops
through Mexican territory.
Gen. Mcclellan is understood 10 have
made the most urgent representations to
the President in favor Of regular and
systematic exchange Of prisoners. He will
probably succeed in having bis views ap-
proved and acted upon.
There has been. no advance Of rebel
pickets upon our lines, as has been stated.
On the contrary, our pickets have advanc-
ed into the enemy's country. Mccall is
moving toward Leesburg, and Gers. Smith
and Porter are extending their lines for
ward, while Mcdowell and Franklin are
watching tho enemy's centre, which is
growing weaker and weaker every day.
The Times dispatch from Washington
I'd, says: l am enabled to state in the
most positive manner that the struggle is
over, and that the Presidents conservative
policy is sustained by his Cabinet with en-
tire unanimity. No flag has been flying
from the rebel batteries on the Lower .Po-
tomac for some time until few days since
when the South Carolina flag was unfurl-
ed and it is now displayed all along their
line.
: The Worlds dispatch says: Messrs.
Cameron and Seward were serenaded last
night, but only the latter appeared. He
simply cemplimented the music, and sta

ioice at oreat news .tr-
