plined that have left the State. We do not
say this for any purpose Of Aattery or effect
bus simply state what we believe to be the
truth We do not believe there is a Regiment
in the service in which both officers and men
are more fully imbued with the spirit and object
OF this war or in which both officers and men
have so deliberately and conscientiously gone
into he work Of fitting themselves for the duties
and abors before them. A large proportion of
both officers and men have left high lucrative
positions III civil life, ito fit themselves for the
duty Of soldiers. They were patriots who saw
that their country was assaied by rebels aud
traitors and was in need of soldiers We know,
personally many both among the officers and
privates who enlisted, not from any urging, rot
from any sudden or spasmodic excitement, nor
with the hope of place or power, but solely from
a sense OF patriotic duty, and a sincere wish to
serve THEN country. Such are the men that
may always be depended upon, in every emer-
gency; and such are the men Of the First Wis
Cavalry.
We felt confident this Regiment would make
a more than ordinary impression, wherever it
went. We have ever maintained that it would
be esteemed model Regiment-bY everybody
except to so-called Democratic editors of our
own State, who have pursued it with the most
malignant abuse, and most dartardly reyilings,
ever since it was frst organized. And there
has been no cause under heaven for this, save
only narrow. minded, political opposition to
Col. Daniels. The Mil,oaHLss Nssos has sound
ed the key note of Encouragement and dotrsction
of the Regiment almost every week, since it has
been in Camp,an the lesser organs efthe Dem
oeracy in various parts of the State have!chimed
in and sweed the discord2nt strain. But the
Regiment has gone to active service; their
deeds henceforth will give the lie 10 their abus.

The Chicago Tribune pays the following COM
pliment to the regiment in noticing its passage
through that city:
1.-The First Wisconsin Cavalry, superbly
equipped and thoroughly drilled regiment, pass
ed through our city yesterday. Perhaps no
command in the whole Federal army, taking
everything into account, presents better ap-
pearance or promises greater efficiency than the
one of which We are writing. 1t numbers ll5O
as atauuch and reliable men as could be found
in the Badger State. They are principally young,
of more than ordinary intelligence, of good hab-
It's. and with hearts and mind for the work
Nearly every man in the regiment is teetotal-
lor, in theory and practice, and all are right up
on the slavery question. They have not left

rebellion, and let slavery take care of itself -
Tue regiment is as yet only supplied with sabres
but it is expected that carbines or navy revol
yers will soon be furnished. They have with
them one hundred and thirty horses, and sad
dies, and horse equipments for the entire regl
ment. They viii get the remainder of thei
animals in ST. Louis The instruments of tht
regimental band (whichis q fine One) were pur
chased with the savings from the ratlons of tht
men, while in camp, thus affording a specimen
of military economy rarely witnessed in thes
extraYagant days. Every member of the bant
first enlisted as a private soldier, and will b
prepared to use brass or steel instruments, q
occasion may require.
The regiment went into camp at Kenosha, las
October and has been making good use of tn
winter months in thorough, scientific drilling
Every field officer in the command has seen NOR
or less service, as have also a large proportio
of the company officers and pIiVaes.
