l l@F The Norwalk GazeHs has the following. l WHAT IS THE REASON Ex-Governor Buckng ham informs us that he shall take no further steps towards the organization of another Regi l ment until he has some indication from the War | Department that they will be accepted The fact is notorious that no State has sent her men to Washington so perfectly and completely out fitted as Connect cut, and still the Governor has had to mportune and entreat the acceptance of every Regiment save the first. We confess we don't understand it, when men arc sent out with authority from the general Government to SCOUT the country in search of men, with which to form Regiments. The Norwich Bulletin gives hint of it's suspicious in the case. If they are well guarded it is matter demanding the sever est scrutiny:
 TIE REAson WHY?-It is very broadly inti mated in Washington, that the reason why so much difficulty is experienced in securing the acceptance of Connecticut regiments while | Pennsylvania, New York, and Western reg ments are taken on sight, is that the Connect cut troops are sent forward so we'll provided ana equipped, as to leave no chance for jobs and l contracts.
 The following orders have just been promul geted:
 HEAD-QUARTERs of the Army, Washington, July 30, 1861. GENERAL ORDERS No. 12.-Searches of house for arms, traitors, or spies, and arrests of of | lenders in such matters, shall only be made il | any Department by the special authority of thu Commander thereof, except in extreme cases ad hitting of no delay.
 | By command of Lieut. SCOTT. | E. D TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant-G eneral HEADQUARTERS of the Army, Washington, July 31, 1861 ] IL prayer of every patriot that the tramp and dir of civil war might at least spare the precincts within which repose the sacred remains of the Father of his Country, but this pious hope if disappointed. Mount Vernon, so recently con. secrated anew to the immortal WASHINGTON by the ladies of America, has already been overrur by bands of rebels, who, having trampled under foot the Constitution of the United States, the ark of our freedom and prosperity, are prepared to trampe on the ashes of him to whom we are l all mainly indebted for those mighty blessings Should the operations of the war take the United States troops in that direction, the General-in | chief does not doubt that each and every mar will approach with due reverence, and leave un | injured not only the tomb, but also the house the groves and walks, which were 30 loved b, 1 the best and greatest of men.
 By command of WINFIELD SCOTT. | E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant-G General
