LOCAL MILITARY MATTERS.
CONSOLIDATION or REGTMENTi

I
As vet the COMMANDMENT Chief has taken no ae
ton toward consolidating the fragmentary regiment
and companies in and about the city the delay beint
occasioned by the neglect Of the commandants Il
send in their reports to AdjutantGen. Hillhouse Of
his quarters, No. 81 Walker street. Recruiting IN
the country, at the independent camps recently es
tabshed throughout the State is progressing favor
ably, and no complaint ia heard from the officers
commanding the same, but here in the city many Of
the officers have wilfuly neglected their reports.
This may he explained by the fact that they are
fearful Of losing their positions if their pretensions
were exposed. 1t is well, however, that Gen Hill
houses means of information not confined TO the
reports Of regimental officers, though their prompt
return would facilitate matters, and the refractory
conduct Of these delinquents must be punished
sooner or later. We have now between o,0OO and
900 troops in the city, Ia squads companies and
regiments, which but for the negligence above re-
ferred 10 might be in condition TO take the field.
The 45th Regiment, Col Van Amsbergh, and the
German Rangers, Col. Sehoening are nearly ready
to march, and il is probable that the ranks will be
filled to the maximum number by the transfer thereto
of two or three company ORGANIZATIONS

In addition to the usual large supplies Of subsst-
enee ordnance and ordnance stores TO a considerable
amount are now going forward to Washington.
These sent principally by railroad as the cost Of
transportation is not materially greater than by
water and ia safer and more expeditions. The ord
nance consists principally of Parrot rifed guns.
few Dahlgreu guns have also been sent The latter
are for the use OF the Navy.
