A Greaser Regiment.

--Col. Edward W. Serrell, of New York, is organizing a ‘"greaser"’ regiment from among the dilapidated coal heavers and workless mechanics of the Northern metropolis. In his enterprise he is assisted by Mr. James F, Hall, son of Brigadier General Hall, who has been elected as Lieutenant Colonel, and whose military experience is very essential. The regiment has six companies mustered into the United States service and in camp; the remaining companies are being rapidly completed. Another feature is the splendid battery of six fourteen pounder Parrott guns, presented to Col. Serrell by Mr. Parrott, proprietor of the West Point Foundry.
