TROOPS PASSING THROUGH.--The number of troops passing through the city at present is not as large as heretofore. The One-hundred-and-thirty-first New York Regiment went south yesterday morning, about half past two o'clock. They were fully armed and equipped, and presented an excellent appearance. Yesterday afternoon one hundred and twenty-five men, from the barracks in Swanson street, above Washington avenue, marched to the saloons for refreshment before leaving for the seat of war. They were under the command of Lieutenant HALL.

The men were recruits for the old regiments, and comprised a number for Baxter's Fire Zouaves, Price's, Murphy's, the Eighty-second, Ninety-first, One-hundred-and-twelfth, and Angeroth's regiments. A regiment was also expected this morning, by the new road from New York. On account of no telegraphic despatch having been sent, the number of the regiment is not known.
