The Washington correspondent of the N.Y. Express says: "The neighboring city of Alexandria is crowded with sick and wounded soldiers. The only regiment stationed in that place is the 91st Pennsylvania, Col. Gregory, which is performing provost guard duty. The quiet and dullness of that city are entirely without precedent. Dry goods merchants and restaurant keepers, the latter especially, are about the only parties thriving in business."

He refused to give his name or show his papers, and consequently was taken to the Central Guardhouse, where he deposited $100 as security for his appearance next morning.

[see Veterans]

Col. E. M. Gregory, of the Ninety-first Pennsylvania Regiment, formerly Military Governor of this place, returned to his regiment near Culpeper Court House, a few days ago, after an absence caused by wounds received at Chancellorsville, Va. On the 4th instant General Orders relating to the re-enlistment of the old regiments for a further term of "three years or during the war," were received. The Colonel, on the 5th read and explained the orders, remarking: "It is very evident the Government is desirous of receiving the services of as many of the old troops as possible, for they well know, as I do, they are worth double their number of new troops I should be proud to see every man of the 91st re-enlist--considering himself--as I do myself--in for the war; but think the matter over, seek out the right, and then each for himself do as seems to him good." On the 8th, he took a vote of the regiment, and every officer and nearly all the men in the field, agreed to re-enlist for the war.
