Col. Gregg's Regiment.
Speaking of Col. Greg and his comlmand
-the.Richmond D)p lt ch of Monday last says:
"Since writing our notice of this regiment,
which appearel on Friday last, we have had
the pleasiure of anl interview with its veteran
conuiander, Cul. G regg, and are happy to
learn that neitheir he t.or his ollicers nor
men have any idea of. abandoning the war.
It is the purpose of Cul. G.-to remain in Rich.
Wond for a few weeks and await the return
of his comtntl, who are in the meantime to
enjoy a brief visit to their home-. Tou much
praise cannot be awarded to Col. Gregg and
E the chivalrous, self-sacrificing spirits he has
the h mlor to lead. They have always been
the tirst to take the field in their cointry's
I cause-and they delight to be in the tLickest
of the fIigt. tu.1. Graeg hinscf returned
from the Mexican war w ith a high reputa
tiu t as a c imm:snder, a'td the deeds of valor
performncd by the South Carolina troops.in
that war covered the State with imperishable
renown.
- We have heard it said, andl have no rea
son to d. uht, as it proceeded from high au
thasrity, that Cul. Greeg has been looked up
on as one of most ellicient and competent
comtnaudi, .g oflicers in the dep-rtment of
the Puotmneia, and his tuen: ts t!.e must thor
oughly disciplined and effective body if men
on the fleld. They have had but one brush
it0 the enemy-that at Vienna. For their
own sakes, we almost wish a cessatinn of hos
tilties in that quarter until they resume their
position as part of the advanced column of
General lt.-auregard's arml y.
" In these r.-narks we do not desire to dis
parag~e tlhe other regitmntts from the same
itat,. or thoise fror any other part of the
Conafederacy. The profi-ienry we eotlinend
is du-. in a grn at measure, to the advantages
the ' First" have posses~td from a mue
lengthened preparation and service."
Calling out the Militia.
The folluwing is the proclamation calling
out the militia in the coutties of Greenm, Mad.

Virginia, " without a momert's delav."

they were situated as comfor~ttably as conld be

they would have the advantage of the ablest

A Scoundrel lit Large.
A man appeared suddanly inl our- town on
Friday last, (whether on foot back, or what
way, we know not,) anal cut quite a swell.
Ili, tirst step was to buy a new suait of clothes,
as the one he had on was not in correspon
dencee with thu~e of a "spoart." lHe put up
at Mtessrs. Eint & Powells Hotel, without
registering, which of courl-e slipped his rmemn
try. On being asked by some one what his
namle was, he saidl he " never carried a ntamne
when he went travelling." lHe claimetd to be
a native of Virginia, and pass:d oTr for a to
baccou pedler, stating that t is teams were a
few mnies fronm this place, and that he was
ansiionis to engage his tobacco. lie h: .1 quite
a surpluts of Caiformta's rich dust, and was
quite obliging in ebantging several idieccs for
p:per monaey. lie semed perf-c-tly acqutain
with all the s$atious of our troops jin Virginia,
anid was quite santguine of tictory on our side*.
hlo purchased flaivana'st with extravagance,
anid seemned to enjoy themt with exceeding
gusto. He iiitedl nll the hiar roomsa in town,
pithing into "old Fremnch-' as though he were
a famniliar acqjuaintaince, tienting~ every oneo
who would take a " smite" withI him., 'He
seemed to be liberal enought not to spend all
his money int one house, but to distribute it
generally.
~ilis enjoyment was tinally interruptted, by
his a-kitg a free negro to tae a game of

but too late for arrest, as h-e hatd taken the

was immaediatelv aroused, and he was pursued

We have since leairned that he stole a horse
at Paeolet, irn this District, and one over in
York. Ho is a man about thirty years of age,
