Charles Deanis, Esq, Vice President Adantic Nu-
tndt Insurance Gompnay, Nev Yorh:
SiR:-l beg leave to suggest to the Company that
if they will instruct vessels with whom they are in
communication coming from the West Indies and
the Gulf of Mexico, to keep on the outer edge of
the Gulf stream, think they would run much less
risk OF capture.
have no doubt vessels armed especially steam
ers, run out for dav so, perhaps nos crossing
the Gulf, yet able to pick up vessels on the
inner edge OF the stream, as was the case with the
rebel schooner ''Savannah," and more recently the
'Lady Davis" Very respectfully,

Recruiting for the Regular Army.
1t is now becoming evident that the eleven
regiments ordered Tor the United States regular
army cannot be raised in any seasunable time by
the usual recruiting system. The number ot
cepted men at all the rendezvous opened thus far
and for each regiment there are four or five, and
often mOre OiliceS-dOeS not exceed 40 persons,
and at this rate it would require nearly half year
organize the 10 600 soldiers required. There is
an impression that ultimately the idea of these per-
mauent regiments wall be abandoned. The regular
army, if these were added to it, would consist of
little less than 40 600 ers.-Ne,U York World.
