that has eIor characterized him, Col Greer
published in his general orders, that if there
existed any opposition to him as the COM
missioned Colonel of the Regiment, he would
resign and order an election for Colonel
Commandant. In this, lie was met by n
unanimous response from the Smith County
Cavalry, that he was entirely acceptable to
them, and begged him to abandon such an
idea. We are happy to learn that such is
the unanimous feeling of the Regiment.

be held on the first Wednesday in

held. The electors are required to
meet in their respective States on
the first Wednesday in December
thereafter, and proceed to cast their

The members who may be elected,
and the Senators to be chosen by

able suggestion, and We trust that those

linger recently joined the army Of the Union
at Providence, R. L, and is now stationed at
Camp Greene, near that city, among the re-
fruits for the Fifth Rhode Island Regiment.
The history Of this young volunteer for the
maintenance Of our Government, is m inte
resting and romantic one. We learn from the
Providence Journal that Hatliuger, in the
year 1851, 1t the age Of Is years, entered the
Hungarian army to fight for the liberties Of
his country, aud soon after became Corporal
In the well known National Guard, under Kos
suth. When Kostuth was betrayed by the
traitor, Georgey. and cast into a Tarkish pris-
on, the youthful patriot shared his noble Gen
to this country, in 1852, Is the guest of Amer
lea, the youth was his fellow voyager and COM
panion on board the o. q. steamer Mississippi.
Shortly after bis arrival here, young Has1Inger
entered district school in Connecticut, and
finally worked his way to Yale College, where
for tie past eix yesrs he has been student Of
medicine md theology, with q view to becom-
Ing missionary physician In Hungary or Tur"
key. He wse about leaving for the scenes Of
his future lsbors, but 90 deeply interested had
he become in our struggle for truth and jus

time past has been lending helding hand to
