A NOTABLE RrGInENT.-After the 18th Regiment
Of Massachusetts had arrived at the Park Barracks
Tnesday ana before the command to break ranks had
been given, several gentlemen, who have Witnessed
the evil effects produced some Of tue regiments tna'
have arrived here by permitting the members OF them
10 separate during the interim Of their stay, suggested
10 Col. Leonard who was IN command OF tee ioth,
that be had better guard 10 be posted to pre-
ven, his men from leaving the ground lest they might
indulge to excess. Col. Leonard however, peremp-
torly declined comply with the suggestion, and said
4" will let my men go where they please. Not one OF
them will be missing from his place at rol-cail. Not
one of my men viii get drunk-no, not one.'
Shortly after the ranks were broken, and for four
hours the men wandered about town at will; and yet,
notw hstsndng that they had ha.n marched over n
long route, in the very heat Of midday, after being
under arms for several hours, and the temptation TO
indulgence whether of their volition or al the in
yitation Of good.nstured citizens who liked the boys,
was very great, still every member OF the regiment
was in his place the hour Fixed for departure, and
their strong clear voices ringing out the music OF their
sol Of battle and their firm and steady step ss they
marched down Broadway South to Dixie evil
denced that the confidence reposed in them by Col.
Leonard was not misplaced, but was in the highest
degree deserved
IL 10 pleasant to write of a colonel who has acquired
such an influence over his nen, and ii is doaby pleas
ant to look upon men VITO 30 readily and willingly
second the efforts Of their commander made 10 promote
their beet interests, for we see III them men upon
whom the country safely rely in lie great emer-
gency. Colonel Leonard is assisted by an efficient and
able body of officers and under such lenders the 18th
will give good account Of itself.
As apropos TO this subject, let say that Massschu
sets men everywhere ARE mourning lsrge debt OF
gratitude to Frank Howe jr for his untirins and per-
sisent efforts ffequeotly involving whole days and
nights Of labor and increase every necessary
comfort and re reshment for our Massachusetts troops
during heir stay in New-fork.
