CoNsOLIDATED.-We see it stated that
the 57th and s4th Penn'a regiments have
been consolidated, and viii hereafter be
known as the 57th. By this arrangement
the old S4th loses its identity as a regiment,
We are sorry for this, as, perhaps, no siu-
gle regiment in the Army of the Potomac
has done more hard marching, more hard
fighting, and gained more decisive victories
over the rebels, and which more deserves to
retain its distinctive, organization to the end
Of the war, than the 84th. But, all honor
to the gallant boys of the S4th, and may
they ever maintain their well earned repu-
tation as being Of the brayest of the brave.
