The Sixth Regiment.

The march of this regiment from Fort
~Leayenworth, i'll Missouri, 10 Sacramento
CITY. in California, is quite an incident, in
these peaceful days. The regiment left Fort
Lcavenworth in May, and arrived ut Sacra-
mento on the Goth of November. They were
on the route 100 days, spending every Sun
day in camp. The actual marching days
were one hundred and sixty-two. They
averaged about one hundred miles per week,
the whole distance passed over being about
$500 miles. This we take 10 be the longest
march in our annals. 1t is nearly twice the
length of IIannibal's famous march into
Italy from Spain, 1T least twice the length OF
Xcnophon's march, when he brought back
the Ten Thousand, and much longer than
Napolcon's march to Moscow. One thing
distinguishes this march above all others.
The regiment did not lose Il man by death,
but arrived in Sacramento with every soul
it had 1T L~cavcnwOrth. 1t. moreover, lost
only about thirty mules out of eleven hun
drcd. These facts speak very highly IN
praise OF the attention and torethought OF
the officers, and the discipline and regularity
of the men. In the meanwhile, the route
lay across Il country which has always been
considered peculiarly inhospitable. In fact,
at Carson's Valley, the snow fell for three
days. and at the end of that time lay upon
the ground eighteen inches deep. OF course
it retarded the progress of the soldiers, who,
at this part Of the march, worked through it
at the rate of from two 10 four miles a day.
The sixth is a gallant old regiment, and
was highly distinguished in the war with
Mexico. But we think this march, all the
way On foot. under the circumstances. the
highest achievement attached to it, name,
although it had 10 contend with no enemy
but the elements and the distance. 1t is,
moreover, TIE first body Of regular soldiers
that ever crossed the Plains. Soldiers who
can make such IL march, with such admirable
order, can 20 anywhere. No enemy, Of any
thing like equal force, can stand before them.
At present they are armed with the rifle
musket. range eight hundred yards.
Among the officers of the Sixth, who made
the march, we observe the names of several
Nirginians, or ut least names very common
in Virginia. and nowhere else, as far as we
know: for instance. Garnctt, Armistead, Mar
shall, &c. Of the catalogue, however, we
know personally, but one: Major Edward
Johnson, of Chesterfield. who served with
his regiment in the Mexican war. and was
breveted for his gallantry in the various bat
ties before the city of Mexico. lie is well
known I'm thi, city.-RicL. Uhig.

Tho American Colonization Society.

The annual meeting of this praiScworthy
organization took place last evening III the
hall of the Smithsonian Institution, and,
though the notice given had been quite Inn
tied. Il large number of ladies and gentlemen
participated. A little after seven o'clock the
meeting was opened with prayer by the
Rev. John Orcutt. The secretary OF the So
cicty. Rev. Il. X. Gurlcy. then read some "X-
tracts from the last annual report. From
this. it appears that the society during the
past year has fitted out two expeditions OF
free negroes anxious to try their fortunes Iii
the furnishing republic of Liberia. The re-
port contained statistics taken from a letter
Of President Benson to the people Of the rising
colony. showing that agriculture had lately
received Il new impulse there, and that the
cultivation of cotton. coffee. and other I'M
portant products WAS rapidly and steadily on
the increase. .Allusion was made to the con-
tract undertaken by the society Tor the cdu-
cation and protection of the unfortunate
blacks lately taken in the SLAYER Echo. The
report also embraced an exhibit Of the finan-
ccs of the society. showing the receipts dur
ing the wear lSJS to have been Sbl,S2O H.,
and the expenditures SOL, l96 81, leaving "A
surplus in the treasury of 1923 %.
The report having been read, the preSl-
dent Of the society, Hon. j. II. b. Latrob".
rose and delivered a graceful and appropriate
address. Forty-two years ago, he said, 10
bert Finley originated the idea of establish
ing Il colony for such free negroes As might
choose TO emigrate. The Colonization Socl"-
ty was organized u carry out that design
Success had crowned lis labors, and Liberia.
containing within itself all the elements OF
political and social strength, was slowly de
y~eloping Il distinct and and independent ma
tionality. twas now ina condition to>tand
alone, deriving Its power not merely from the
cmigrantS. but from the natives who are dai-
" tlocking to the new and prosperous State.
While the people of Liberia numbered nearly
half a million, the emigrants and Their de-
sccndantS constituted scarcely twelve thou
sand souls. The society relied for its success
upon one Of the most common impulses of our
common nature-the desire of lettering our
condition. 1t was their hope that acting I'M
der this universal impulse, the whole free
colorcd population of the Union would ulti-
matelv seek its home and the proper field for
its energies on the coast of Africa. They
would 90 there eagerly, at tllcirown expense:
and commerce. which owed adcbtto the race
for having first removed them. would dis
charge that debt by afording the means Of
