SIT is growing pretty certain that
Colonel McCord and his regiment will
be retained in the service for some
time. the policy of the war depart
ment seems to be TO muster out those
regiments that have become weakened
by service and those who by majority
vote desire to be mustered out. In
Colonel McCord's regiments there are
few men who could OF serve three
years if need be without serious incon-
venience. They are almost all
experienced pioneers, fighting men
OF many an encounter with
Indians, and the former
} lawless element of the frontier. The
regiment, if it is ever called upon to do
duty under fire, will make a record
that will not be surpassed by any body
of men yet sent into service. Colonel
McCord is himself fearless, cool, con-
siderate man, who would lead his regi.
ment wherever men dared to follow and
wherever necessity called. It is to be
regretted that his regiment did not 20
into service early enough to participate
in hostilities either in Cuba or the
Philippines, for it is certainly
one of the most capable bodies
of men ever called into ser.
, vice and Differed by men who are mos,
capable and efficient. The men are
hardy, are Injured to life out of doors
under the most trying conditions, for
hundreds of them are miners. pro-
pectors, cattle men, teamsters, and
that sort of men whose lives are spent
amid hardships as great or greater
than they are ever likely to undergo
in the service, ard their freedom from
liability to attacks or ordinary com.
plants would be far more than usual
The regiment should be sent to the
Antilles or ippines.-Phoenix Re
publican.
