DEFEN5IBIIITY OF WAsHISoToS.-COl For
nev writes from Washington on Monday:
The question whether Washington can be
captured is, of course, the great moot poiut.
l do not think it can without great loss OF
life, The exclusion Of troops intended for its
defense hns determined General Scott to open
communication with the Free States ct what
ever hazard. Ne must hate a passage
through Baltimore at all risk. 1t will never
do to have a city SO completely controlled by
bood-thirsty mob in the neighborhood Of
this city /; and if this mob again provokes Our
troops, or attempts dH atfaek upon Fort
McIlerry, the town itself wfll be she'led. We
must also have an open road TO the Pennsyl-

A Crack Rse;mant.


New York city sends to tho scene
of conflict her crack regiment, the
gallant and soldier-like Seventh-
This regiment is the pride and favor
ite of all New Workers. 1t is the
i best drilled, armed and equipped,
corps in the United States. The men
are drawn from the most respectable
masses in the Empire city. Many of
the priyatcs are sons Of millionaires !;
a large number are taken from the
professional walks, and the residue
mostly from mercantile pursuits.A
But they are not enervated or disSi-
pated dandies. On the contrary, ther
are athletic, robust and temperate
men. Hard gymnastic exercise con
stitutes part Of thefr military eiisci-
plInc. Probably no regiment that
will be mustered into the service of
the Government will endure more
fatigue, or giyc3a better account of
itself on the field of battle, not ex-
~ siceptings the Firemen-Zouayes Of the
same city. There belong to tie regi.
naent a squadron Of dragoohs, a bat
tery of flying artillery, and corps
of sappers and miners. The eight
infantry companies are armed with
best MIME, rifles. The Seventh is a
complete army in itself. The most
perfect discipline and order prevail.
