No. ll. --Considering its opportunities fir ta'ctic Sexereise, we regardl the Palmetto Regi menr, a *well-drilled an'] well-disciphirid corps. Every one knows, it was hrrrie'd ont, fro-n the time of its organiiza'imn, to the ive services of the camnpaign, with scarco preparation eniough to becorue acquainted with the rudiments of the soldier's duty. If wye except, indeced, tho fe' idrills on the Island of L'dos, it was entirely without instruction in the tactics till ius arrival nit nebla in the beginning of sutmmet. To engage itn tactical itistruetiptn duritig the stege of VeraCruz, was altogether imoprac l' icable; and out of this time, the regime~nt was constantly on the march. But while in garrison at Puebla regular exercise was fairly begun. Thie utmoist diligence was exerted to reurder thu troops aicturate in evoluttitns; aind the ell'arts maide by tie .officers itsthis particular, wtere repaid wit h frappy success. Improvemetnt wnent on at a rapid pace, and, in a shotrt ti:r~e. the re ,gament was more than respiectable in the performance of its vairious exercises. In alie school of the batttrliun it w:as expert; and its execution ini the evoltutionis ofi the itne was highly creditable. Somte compa flies dirnishdteselves in the race Simprovement. This honor will be grant ~ed, we believe, to comtpinies lI, F, anmd I. Ins the manual, in moarchitng, in tihe Vschool of the soldier arid compainy, they could be brought into competition with also, they exhibited an active spirit (if in provement. We do not make these dis tifictiotis invidiously, or '01.11' OWO j:ild' ment ; but with a view of rendering justice to those who had ambition to excel'; and they were made in accordance with the opiuions of in litTerent spectators. and of the superior oflicers of the Regiment, of. ten.publicly expressed. It was generally admitted, that company F, held first rank in the manual, and in. neatness of person anl arms, and that company D1 was enti iled to second rank. On one occasion af ter iuspectihg the lattor company, Genl. Shields. struck vith the manly bearing of the-men. and with te great neatness of iheir persons and accoutrements, walkcl up to the lieutenant in command, and ex clanimed,-- Sir, any man migit be proud to command such a company." 1Jt itf these companies xcelled in the ptnticulrs above mentioned. they were surpassed, perhaps, by companies ,... and G, in goo I order and sobriety. We di not wish, hwever. to posh this con parison any forther. Every co npany In the regiment deserves praise for its marked anid rapid alvancement. There was no one but what male efforts to imnprove. This-wi maifesm to all; for this spirit I showed its,.lf in outward form. In a short ii-ne the whole aispect. of the regiment changed. The men d iffed their citizens clothes, and put on the neat blue jaieket aid cap of the regular army. They bright ened their muskets astonishinglv, and ren dered their persons and accoutrements neat and pr.oper. They began, also, to mirch well the cadence step. so becoming in mi litary maneuvres, and to carry themselves erect like true souldiers, At these manifest strides of improvement, the fl-id ollicers of the regiment, begin to hold tip their heads a little, atnd to encontage hopes of future usefulanss an-t ditincti-m. It wAs easy to see they were growitng proud of the Palmnettoes. Overlboking the bAld and resolute spirit that glowed in their ho. sons', they h-id hitherto almost yielded themselves a prey to desponde:try, on ac count of the awkward. uicauthly aspect of of the men. Bnt now bright gleams hope re-anituated their hearts. and they cherished the highest excpectation-for their beloved regiment. The attention of iy stiders was likewise attracted. II its marchings through the streets of the city. crowds of spectators of b1oth sexes flicked Ito see the regiment, and it was scarcely recognised by the ifficers aud soldiers of the artiy, its old associates on the march. InI passing a Church, one Sunday, where rnumber of oflicers and sildiers were co. lected.and among ibet.the general in-chiel, his staff. and other high ofticers of nome, thu regiment was mistaken for the Gih infai try-oneof the most showy and best drilled corps it' the army. Hut.it was iii good ordqr, and honora ble demeanor, that lay the chief excellence - of tie Palmetto Regiment.. .1i these par tAitlari: itwas d ecidedly- ahead of any h 6eervice.

While thle New~v Yorkers, and Regulars were daily airraignte. btefore c.ourts-mnartial generai, for theft, rtouecry, desertiuti, insubordoi- t tioni and other mnisdeemanors, not at case appearedl from the Paitrto Regimnent.

If we inqinire inito the causes of this r:t pid i mptrovemtet, o'i this superiority ini poit of getteraml cooluct, exhibited ini thle Regimetnt, we will ftndl thiem amrribuotable mainly to two eireatmostines. First, the intelligenice and high -beating of tie young meni in the regiment. And se::in.iv, the kindc, though firm rdisciphline ittroluced by its much lam'ned and estimable colotiel. Few regimnen:s ever enitered the service oour counatry with the same degree ofiti tellig.ence and totne. These chamracteris tics are ruost usuarlly found arrong corn missioned oflicers only; httt in the Pal rnettJ R-gitment. they extended to non ommissiotned ollicers and privates, miany f whotm wcrc liberally educated aml well ared gentlemmen. Thtmy had all thec feel ngs, too, of an enligten ad state pride, which nade themn high -mitndel art] chivalrous, aind caused t herm to shuni all low an it de gradintg, practices ; calcuilated to affect injuriously the character of the regimnetnt. This spirit among these young inent had a nmost powe-rful itfluetnce mn thme regimcent. It was a lump of leaven, that leavetned the whole body. It elevated the standard of character, aind intronluuted a gentlemanly deportment among the men, for which th-ey were noted in the aroty. It paved the way, also, for tho great improvement matnifested ini the regiment. By creatintg a prtoper self respect, atid excititng a hiisi feeling of state pride. ifired the mnen with an ambiiomn in exeel, which urged them to submiit cheerfully to the restraint of moilita ry discipline, an-i to strive to perform well the duties of the soldier. These hteh souledu sentiments atnd this elevation oft character formewd a solid basis upon which to erect the admirable super. struemture of moral government, exercised by Got. Butler. *With such an admiixmure of initellectual antI mortl feeling,. thters was cert ainly no need tof int roducing sever ity of discipline, or of oncouragttg a prin eiple of slavish fear. The power of mnoral suzsion wasa almost snci::ient to secure all ippeal to the h'nor of me'n acluated by motives so elevated and honorable, would exert a moire powerful influence than all he terrors of physical i1enalties. The rea Iv mind of Coh Butlor soon discovered 11iis secret. He read at a glance Ifie mo lives by which the young men were actti ated, and catching up the springs of their actiotn, he iegulnted them to his own -taste and fancy. Ii his goverumnit, he seidoni resorted to the infliction of physical. pun ishment, hut achieved his purposes alhost exclusively by tihe influence (of moral pow er. He acqiirel at most ahsolute con trol over the men-carrying his plans, and iing his ends, by appealing to -their onor as gentleinen ; by stirring up their unhiiin ; anl by exciting amoti them feelings of emulation and rivalry. Wtile an-ig oilier volunteer carps, and anoing lie regulars. the disgracefi pionishieut )f glose confineme'i on bread and water, uf bucking. ironing &!, were put in daily practice, he made mnost of 'his coirrectionq ur misdeineaors by speech making. If lie wishedl to punish for neglect of duty, or for improper conduct, a pbtldic reprimand was his method. When he ;wished to in eiie to imnprovement. lie ilirodiced the principle of rewards rather than, of punish. m nits. To urge the men, for instance. to appear neat in their perstiii, and to has iow labor cin their guns and accoutreineits, lie would exempt from military duty every d.iy, those who excelled mostly in these particulars. lie punished only in those eases wikch were ubsolutely necessary, in which the ollenders could not be %% orked tipon by moral influences. And it is as toniihing what results this discipline pro. Jnced in a short period of time, It caused, is we hive seen.
