Want of space prevents us from speaking
at length upon the services rendered by the T
other officers of the Seventh, but rs we in
OF our favorite regiment, we will at other
times devote our space and time to the adj
vancing of their claims. We hope to BIO IA
yorcd with visit from the regiment on the oc-
casion of the annual muster in October. and
will promise, in advance, a hearty reception at
the hands of our citizens.
The following extracts will show in what
degree of estimation the people hold the gal
liant Seventh
The State Gazette of the 25th inst, in speak
ing of the grand review at Cape May, says:
The review took place at half-past three p.
M.. and was a brilliant affair. The troops pre-
scented magnificent appearance. 1t was wit
messed by thousands of spectators, both ma
tives and visitors all of whom were loud in
their praises of the soltlierly bearing of the
troops, and the skill and precision with which
all their cyolutions were performed. Shake
speaie says comparisons are odorous,o and +
where all did SO well it is difficult to say
which did the best, but believe 1t is general T
~ conceded that the palm must he Yielded to +
the Seventh Regiment, commanded by Col. I
Angel, which in point of soldieriy appearance
and thoroughness of drill rather !" laid over ~
any other organization on the ground. The
Colonel is gallant fellow, with a tirst-class
war record, but withal surprisingly modest,
and not the least addicted to .putting on /
alfs, as has been sometimes done by regi- I
mental commanders, but his regiment is a |
credit to him and he has reason to be proud of |
it,
