ders received some days since. Col. Bell WAS
authorized directly by the War Depart
lartment in October last, upon condition Of
consolidating with Hartmann's Dragons, to
raise a minimum regiment Of cavalry. Its in
cipiency was surrounded with many Difficult
ties and its successful progress was blocked
mp with many obstacles in the shape Of preju-
diccs to be overcome and company troubles to
be settled. One By one these were removed,
and the regiment rapidly reached its present
excellent condition. The first companies
came into camp in November, and shortly af.
ter in pursuance Of Secretary Cameron's or
ders, the consolidation with that fine body Of
men, Hartmann's Dragons, was effected'
which gave fresh impulse to recruiting and
exercised the happiest influences in perfecting
the regiment This command now numbers
seven hundred and twenty-eight men, officers
included.
