Chippewa Haif-Breed Resi-
ment.

We learn there is a strong probability
of the acceptance by the Governmental a
regiment of Chippewa lf-Breeds, from
Northern Wisconsin; with Capt. Samuels
now of the Wisconsin First, as command
ing officer. Soon after the breaking out
of the war, Capt. Samaefs, {at that time
engaged in the Indian Trade at Sc. Croix
Falls,) offered to raise such a regiment ;
the offer was at that time declined by the
Government, but subsequent events have
proved that they would form an efficient
arm of the service; and the probability is,
that he will very soon receive orders to
proceed in the organization of the
command. The Governor. and othor
State officers, the Board of Trade of Mil
waukee, and numerous influential citizens,
are urging the matter on the War Depart
ment, and it is thought, will secure its
adoption by the authorities.
Such corps would undoubtedly be of
great service as scouts; and be effective
as opposed to the gurrilla bands infesting
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia. The
projectors of this Regiments porpose to
furnish the men with suitable arms and
equipments, within given time, should
the Department but give the necessary
orders. This corps would expect to
subsist on the enemy. This class Of men
are all good shots, and such regiment
would be more than match for the
Berdan Sharpshooters, whose important
services in this war. are now matter OF
history.
Capt. Samuels has resided for about
twenty wears among the Chippewa
speaks their language duently, and
should the Government decide to accep,
the services Of these men, will be the
very person to have charge of th" under
taking. There are number of persons
in this section who would enroll them
selves under his banner.--SupeTaor
