The 93d Sutherland Highlanders.

The following letter, in reference to the losses
sustained by this fine regiment at Peshawar, says
the North British Daily iliail, has been addressed
by the Commander-in-Cniel of the Forces in India
to the officer commanding the regiment. It speaks
in the highest terms of the discipline and conduct
of all ranks throughout the trying ordeal through
which they passed. In the midst of disease or battle
the conduct of this favourite and distinguished
regiment is above all praise, and while it earns such
encomiums from the military authorities of India,
its "thin red line" at Balaklava is imperishably
connected with the fame and history of the late
Lord Clyde, as its entire career is with the triumphs
of the British army on every great battle-field
" REGIMENTAL ORDERS.—Sealkot, 21st May.—The fol.
lowing letter is published for general information :—Adju-
tant-General's Office, Head-quarters, Simla, llth May,
1563. Sir,—l have the honour of submitting to his Excel-
lency the Commander-in-Chief your confidential report of
your inspection of the 93d Sutherland Highlanders, for
the second period of 1862, in the general observations at-
tached to which you gave a short account of the regiment
for the few months preceding your inspection, during which
it suffered very severely from repeated attacks of cholera.
His Excellency perused your report with very great inte-
rest. The Commander-in-Chief sympathises deeply with
the regiment in the loss they have sustained in the late
Major Middleton, an officer for whom his Excellency
had personally a great regard, and of whose ability
as a commanding officer he had a very high opinion.
His excellency also regrets extremely the deaths
of Lieutenant-Colonel M'Donald, Ensign Drysdale,
and Assistant-Surgeon Hope. It is most gratifying to the
Commander-in-Chief to learn that the conduct of all ranks
throughout that trying season was so admirable, and that,
notwithstanding the adverse influence of cholera and fever,
the drill and discipline of the 93d Highlanders dill not suffer
in any way—a state of things which reflects the greatest
credit on Major Burroughs, the officers, and non-commis.
sionei officers and men of this very distinguished regiment,
in whose welfare his excellency takes the greatest interest.
His excellency has had great pleasure in making known to
his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-
Chief the excellent conduct of the regiment, and his very
favourable opinion of it; and he has also made special
mention of the devotion, ability, and excellent service of
Dr. Munro, not forgetting the valuable assistance he derived
from his subordinates.—Signed HENRY TolutENs, adju-
tant-general ; GEouGE ROE FEN WICK, captain, acting-
adjutant 03d Highlanders.--To Brigadier-Ge.ner4l galy,
