Besides these brigades and regiments there ar
at least two battalions of 6remen who, no doubt
will report Reorganization to-day, the Confederat
Regiment, which, we learn, is in the process o
Reorganization, and upwards Of fifty companie
which, only numbering from forty to fifty men
cannot yet elect officers.
| The reorganization may, therefore, be considere,
to have made extraordinary progress, and we ar
satisfied that before week has passed at leas
! two other brigades will have been formed. TIL
force already numbers about ten thousand choic
troops. Although work of immense labor, thi
Reorganization will no doubt prove most beneficial
to all the corps, they had an opportunity to ge
| rid of officers who were either unpopular or in
efficient, and to elect in their places men who ha
been tried and who had won confidence by goo
conduct. s4.,- .-...-y..
