The 1S9th regiment was mustered In for
one hundred days this morning by Colonel
Norton Of the regular army. The whole was
accomplished In a little lesa than four hours,
an expedition In such matters quite unusual.
Ret tape was Laid aside for practical COM
mon-sepse, and Us a result the whols regi-
ment was mustered and turned over to its
officers in the briefest possible manner. Col
Norton deserves credit for his dispatch In
getting this regiment 30 quickly ready for
The service. Col. Davidson OF Peoria ia its
Colonel Setting aside his official designa-
ton rs the Colonel Of the regiment, he mag
unanimously submitted the choice Of their
Colonel to d vote Of the line officers. He
was chosen By q unanimous vote "a Colonel
He is good man al agree, capable, ener-
gete and gallant he has seen service, first

vas On board Of the Inflated steamer City OF
Madison, which vas blown to fragments By
tht explosion Of shells with which she was
loaded, killing some thirt5-tlye or forty men,
and wound1pg number OF others; among
them Col. Davidson, who was blown off into
the riyer and badly bruised. It can be safely
said of him that he has s'smelt powder" BE

In the death 81 J. E. B. Stuart, the rebels
received tremendous blow. The loss Of
half his command wou11 haze been Of less
account than the loss Of 8tuart tsusolf. He
could effect more with. one half Of his men
than any other General in The rebel service
can with the whole OF them Excepting Lee,
there is perhaps no General In the rebel
armies whose loss would be so severely felt.
jeff DaYis wuuld rather have parted with
Johnston, who, next to Lee, is supposed to
be the best strategist aud tactician in the
Confede1acy. Jobnston's place could be sup
piled, If not By his equal, By some one little
his inferior. But stuart as q cavalry officer
cannot be replaced Neither Fitz Hugh Lee
nor Wade Hampton, upon one of whom the
command will divolye, will any moro bear
com pa1ison with him than the 'ffoung Ma
po1eon" would with Napoleon, the Great
Stuart Was free and easy, dashing and reck-
less fellow, who at once won the admiration
and confidence of all under his command.
Wherever he would lead they would follow.
We may safely 6timete his loss to the rebels
as equal to the loss Of five Thousand men.
Early this Spring, Stuart organized ont Of
his command, eight squadrons Of light horse,
called "Stuart's Hussars,'' for the purpose
Of reconnoitering and dashing into the Union
lines, whenever such preceding or scheme
should be deemed e1pedient- The men &C.
lectcd Tor this organization we're none Of
them over ten stone, and were the best rid
efs In bis command. They were mounted on
we'll bred and indefatigable horses, and
were calculated to 60 over Eocks and ditches,
and swim rivers with such facility that ord1-
nary cayolrr could not pretend to follow
them. Every reader will perceive tha value
Of snch an Organization to any army. Bnt
Providence w11led that it should loose It's
head. md we sha1I have little to fear from IL.
Great efforts are being made to arm the car
alrE with the Jef. DAVIS pistol-or it might
as well be called carbiDe, 40 1t can be used as
either--the invention of the rebel President
himself It is said that his exce1lencg de-
signed and proposed to introduce bis weapon
IN the United States service when be WAS
Secretary Of War. Be this as It may, 1t will
undoubtedly proTe to be very effective
weapon.
