Tho commander Of the present splendid regiment is
Thomas G. Stevenson son OF Hon j. Thomas Stevenson,
OF Boston He is young, hut admirably suited to his
position, having the tact so rare OF commanding the
spect and love Of his men, together with implicit and
willing obedience to his orders. Those who know the
ceilencc and precision of discipline the New England
Guard arrived unter his thorough training need have
no fears but that his regiment will equal IL surpass
any Of the volunteer regiments in the field The Major is
auoIiief son Of Mr.. Stevenson. They are his only sons
and we doubt not, though large contribution to
ahis war, that it is made in the true spirit of Old.
