First Cavalry Regiment Iowa
Vol umteers.

First cavalry Regiment Iowa
Volunteers.
We give below the statistics of this regi-
ment. Including commissioned officers (not
field offcers) It numbers SIS men, audit is
said that they will average larger size than
any regiment which has been raised in this
State. tits, certain that the officers loom
up conspiciously and hold high standing
in the world in more senses than one Col.
Warren stands over six feet in his shoes,
and his public career is too well known to
need mentioning. 1t. Col. Moss is also
over six feet, was in. the Mexican war, and
has been an active politician Adjutant
Heath Heath, editor of the Dubuque Bu-
chanan parer-ifnot over six feet, isl good
looking man, and,well known, in all the
Northwest.
Ofthe Captains, Terrence, from Keokuk
overgoes six feet AND, had hand in the
fight at Buena Vista. Capt. Leffingwell
stands high and has made his mark as legis
lator and Judge. Capt. P. Cad Bryans
name is known all over Iowa as politician
and legislator, though we believe his hight
is not remarkable. Capt. Will Thompson is
about six feet and famous in the annals Of
Iowa as editor, member of Congress, &c
Capt. Dan. Anderson, late Senator from
Monroe, is seven feet six, or six feet seven
which is itr Every body knows him.
Capt. Caldwell Of Wapello is full six feet
and fine specimen Of a man. So is Capt.
Cover, and withala splendid, officer.
We have seen a number Of other fine spec
linens of humanity among the officers, but
unfortunately did not make their acquaint.
ance and cannot call them by name. Suffice
it to say, that this regiment has the raw ma
teral, in men and horses, to make one Of
the very best and most efficient regim ents
in the United States.
1t will be noticed that there are at present
only nine companies. An additional compa-
ny arrived in Burlington, as reported, day
or two since. Whea full, the regiment will
consist of twelve companies.
