- On Saturday last, the I'd Divis-
ion pt this Corps d Armec, under com
mand Of Acting Major General Reno,
VIVA reviewed by Major General Burn
sidaand His Excelleney, Gov. Staaly.
Vops made ! splendid appear.
ancs id good spirits and eager for the
fray. 1T. F.
Among the troops composing this di-
vision, we noticed the 103d n. Y. regi-
ment, 1t. Col. KRKrscnMAR command
ing. This regiment is composed Of
old continental vererans, who have
seen service in the wars of the old
country. They appeared with sprigs
of evergreen in their caps, thus lend
ing a beautiful and picturesque ap.
pearance to their neat and tidy uni,
form. Their officers are many OF them
commissioned i'll the Prussian and Ger.
man armies, being absent by permis.
sion of their respective governments.
In fact the Germans looked as though
they would fight, and the rebels
have already had touch of their
quality in this particular. They owe
much of their exceedingly good disci-
pline to their energetic, active COM
mander, who has had them in charge
only about month. Four coinpan-
les ofthis regiment are on duty at Hat
teras. We have been thus particular
in our notice, as need Of praise due
to those who have left their native
land, to aid and assist us in this war.
All did well and looked well, but to
particularize farther would be invidi-
GUS. Gen. Reno has no occasion to be
ashamed Of his command.
