WHAT IS SAID OF OUR REGIMENT. 49, Mr..
John Earle of Boston, for several years an
army tailor, was here day or two ago and
measured the officers of the several companies
at Camp Baxter, for their uniforms, which no
has been employed to make We are inform
ed that after performing the work of taking
the measures, he remarked in conversation
with the governor, in regard to the size of the
men, that he made uniforms for many officers
and troops in Massachusetts, Maine. New
Hampshire, and other parts of New England,
but, said he IL never put the tape on to
such set of men as ! have this afternoon
They really astonish me-" And the average
size and weight of the rank and file is as re-
markablc as that of the officers. OF the sew
eral companies, the Essex county company,
Capt. Nelson, is probably entitled to the first
place in respect to weight and size. We arc
told that seven of them happened by chance
to be weighed yesterday, and they averaged
over one hundred and ninety pounds. A bay
onet will be a terrible weapon in the hands Of
such men when they become skilled in its use.
They might toss a secessionst with it over
