have all received military education, and the Colo
mel was for three or four years in active service.
They appear to be very well fitted in every respect
for their positions. The list Of Captains, too is
composed of first rate men and soldiers. Indeed,

the pleasure of meeting the Chaplain, the Rev. Need

devoted to his duties. He takes deep interest in
the bodies we'll the souls of the men, and is said
to be especially attentive to the sick. We know of
no field in which minister of the Gospel can be
more useful than in the camp. The Rev. Mr.. An

Mr. Fitzgerald, Chaplain of the ID, are also indefati

loved.

doubt of his superior qualifications for his position
Col Cantwe was in service in Mexico, and he, with
Major Burton Will no doubt ably second and sustain
the worthy commander of this regiment in every
emergency. The I'd is encamped in fine grove
cooled by pleasant sea breezes. We visited the en-
campment in company with David A. Barnes, ESQ.,
of Northampton. The welcome We received was
most cordial from the 4th regiment, and will moi
soon be forgotten. We also met our old friend Ell
der R. D. Hart, in Norfolk He has two sons in thu
Granville Grays, and several relatives in the othel
companies He is almost constantly with the q
regiment, and is no doubt doing good by his exam
pie and advice.
While in Norfolk we met Lieut. Duval, of ths
State who, after much exertion, occasioned by
want of foresight and promptness the part of thu
authorities had succeeded in reftting and getting
his steamer, the Beaufort ready for sea- She is 81
by % feet, and carries one 80 FOUNDER and 25 men
He went out though the Albemarle Canal, and il
now cruising off our coast Lieut. Coleman was
also in Norfolk. From the same cause which hin
dered Lieut. Duval in his efforts he has failed thu
far to obtain suitable vessel. Coleman, like Duval
is "a true and brave man. Such men should hav
employment at once.
We had the pleasure of meeting at Suffolk tn
venerable Thos. G. Broughton, of the Norfolk Her
aId and the Rev. W. B. Wellons, of the Christian
Sun We are under obligations to Mr.. Wellons TO
many attentions shown us while in Suffolk
