An extraordinary incident has late

nation of all the officers, from the Co
lionel TO The Ensigps, OF the distinguish.
ed 5fh regiment Of Militia, which was
composed entirely Volunteer Cou,?a
MES, and formerly commanded by the
late General Stricken. The cause OF
this singular measure, was the ap.
poin,ment by the Executive Of the Ad
jutant of the regiment 10 The Majority
of it, instead of the senior Of the Nd
iutant. Whether the latter was person
ally obnoxious toshe officers ofthe re.
glment, does rot appear, hn. they con
tend, 10 their address to he Cover
nor, that the senior Captain, having
held his commission longer than
the Adjutant had his, was, by militia
ry rule and the usage Of the regiment,
entitled to the promotion, and thai the
rule in this case was in harmony with
the wishes Of the regiment, and con
formidable to the standing principle
of allowing TO volunteer corps the spe,
cial privilege of selecting their own
officers. TheExecutive of the State,
not yielding 10 The request of the oifi
GERS to revoke the commission OF the
new Major, and the latter insisting on
holding It, they all threw mp their com
missions, and, by vote Of every com
pany 10 it, the regiment was dissolved
and disbanded.
Whether the officers were right or
not, in the position they assumed, and
in their ultimate course, we cannot IN
dertake to say; but all who are &C,
quainled with the high character which
the regiment has long sustained fol
discipline and efficiency, must regret
its dissolution. ibid.
