LEWIS RICHMOND,
Assistant Aojutsnt General
On the Goth ult, Col. Maegi reviewed his regiment
on dress parade for the last time, and better exhib-
ton Of drill was probably never shown by II before
After parade, the reg ment was formed IN hollow
square, the order accepting Lis resignation was read
end the retiring commander, IN reply 10 an address
by Mai Clark ia behalf OF the regimentaI officers,
babe farewell 10 his men lie expressed his feelings
Of pride in their progress in drill aud regret at the
parng with al the fervor Of an Italian soldier, and
the scene was really affecting. The duties OF com
handing officer will be filed with fidelity and skill
by the new Lieuteuant-C Colonel, who is gallant
soldier and thorough discipLnarisn. The new
Major was Captain of Company II, but formerly
Colonel of the oh Massachusetts, Militia. The brav-
cry shown by Capt. Foster Of Company ID, and by
Adit. SteaIps-who was slightly wounded twice Ia
the head and once in the neck but refused TO leave
his place by Magsi's sids until the advance had
planted the regmenta colors on the Rebel battery
should have been noticed in previous letter. Young
Searns is son of the President of Amherst College,
good oiticer, and gallant young fellow.
Nothing is of more interest to friends at home than
-
reference 70 the state of affairs in tie hospital de.
partmen, and the general climatic condition OF the
Island seems necessary. The topography of the
country is perhaps already familiar enough 10 the
Tublc to make anything more than an allrson
unnecessary. The surface Of tie island is
hardly OF any POINT more than I've FEET above
tie level Of tho Sound, If We except very
peculiar sand bluff on the northern shore, op-
,os'te Nays Head. Naturally enough, there
are large traets Of swamp land, wooded and open,
: which breed malaria, anj load the chilly even
ine air with poisonous Civilizations. The mornings
