Benides the numerous regiments already furnished from that city, there are now rapidly organizing four more Irish regiments, to be ready at short notice. There are now in that etty the First, Fifth, Ninth, Twentieth, and Pifty- fifth (French) Regiments, two new regiments of Zouavea, the Polish Lezion, the Washington Vol- uateers. and other companies, some of whom have received marching orders, and the rest will start in # few days. i> We learn from the Annapolis Republican (secension) that the United States troops at that city pay their way as they go in aught purchased of the people (tradesmen and others) there, and at enormous prices, too, without a word of com- paintat the extortion practised on them. The Republican, notwithstanding its position with reference to the war, candidly does justice to the soldiers, and compliments them highly on their discipline as soldiers and their honorable and fraternal deportment when off duty.

The number in companies, regiments, &c . vary at dif- ferent times, and vary by law. In times of peace the rank and file are reduced to a skeicton, and the officera retained, (we speak of regulars,) 80 that in time of war tere a toon be filled up. The outline elements of an army are thexe: A company is the unit of an army, and is sup- posed to average _en the wor basis, 100 men, offi- cers included. The general rule for the organt- zation of such a rapier g | xives L captain, 2 lleu- tenants, 5 sergeants end 4 corporals and 55 men. Formerly each company had an ensign, who car- tied the flag; but his place is now supplied by the color sergeant. There is one more sergeant than corporals, the first lieutenant being called the or- derly sergeant. and is, next to the captaia, the eet leyportant man in the company—cattyla: the books of the company, and calling tbe roll, moruing and eveuing. The company is fermed, when in column, into two platoons and four sec- tions, each platoon commanded by a Ieutenant, and each section by a sergeant. A regiment is regularly com: of ten com- panies, or two battalions; a battalion being halfa regiment, composed of five companies—one of them called a light, or rout company, intended in ular service to operate outside of the heavy columns, as flanking parties, guards, &c. ‘The officers of a regiment, independent of com- pany officers, are « colonel, lieutenant colonel, two majors, adjutant, quartermaster and commis- sarv. Each separate body of troops must bave a commissary and quartermaster, but in a youre army they are apportioned to regi:nents or br’ ades. A regiment, when constituted, will be formea thus :—1 colonel, 1 Heutenant colonel, 1 adjutant, 1 quartermaster, 1 commissary, 2 mejors, 10 captains. 20 lieutenants, 50 sergeants. 40 cor- porals, and 850 private men—making 975, tat ia Feality there are some others; each company has regularly a drummer and fifer, which make a imental band of 20, besides the drum major. Then the regiment, when full, is made up reg- ularly of 1.000 men. A brigade shou!d be com of two regiments, a squadron of cavalry, and a corps of firld artil- lery. If these were ail full. a complete brigade operating alone would, in our service, or in the French, meke 2 400 men. A division is composed of two brigades, with additional corps of cavalry and artillery, making in our army, including the whole staff and music, about 5.000) men. This is the Lighest element of organization in our service; but in F. ance, as they organize immense armies, there is one other the corps is composed of two or more divisions, frequently of four or tive. The corps is, in the French service, properly commanded a field marsta!—an officer unknown to our country—and the corps fs properly a complete army in tself, In Napoleon’s march on Russia, he bad eight or ten of these corps in active service—making a field army of from 250 000 te 300 000 men. From the elements we have given, it will be seen that however large the army may be, itisso orpanized asto be perfect In all its parts, snd moves with exact order and discipline. [0 the field all orders and operations are carried on through the s aff of the army. and when’ we corne to active service, the staff is the most important part of the army: for, this being a vast machine, of which ech part is perfectly obe to,and directed by the head, itisevident th must depend on the skill, ability, and d ment of the staff through which ft acts. {t 18 in vain that Scott. or ary reat General commands, if the staff officers are com petent ‘The staff cons'ats of the aids. eral, the engineer, the quar! nee’ Generals al the Adjutant Gen- master, and Com- Through the adjutant genvral rdera are conveyed toezch particular part.

Napoleon knew the value of a good staff, and had abler men in it than were at the head of the divisions If an extensive army should formed, this should always be the case. ° In the statement we have made, it will be seen, there isa strong eimilarity between a modernarmy, weil organized, and that of the Romans. Our company corresponds with the Roman Century, and our division to the Koman Lezion. The Roman Legicn, when full, contained 6,000 men, which comprehended a portion of auxilia- ties, and were divided so as to include all kinds of service. A Roman Legion was a complete army in Itself, and the experience then and now is that y or force of 6,000 men isas large zed to actas one bedy; larger than that, they must act as separate bodies, mov- {ng burmoniously together —Cincinnati Gazeite. repre Evrorgas News.—By the steamer Arabia, we have news from Europe to the 20th inat. A report that President Lincoln was dead had been extensively circulated in Engiand. and farther American news wasanx!ously looked for.
