The corps has recently ‘adopted a besutifol bayonet, wiich fastens npou the in@ peculiar manner, and it is in contemola- tion to have about one thousand of the eslebrated “ Minvie rifles” imported from Earope for the ex- @lusive use of its members. For the following minute description of the uniform of this splendid -corps we are Jndeied to iis Colonel :— The cont is of army bine, and made in accordance with the regulations of the United S:ates army.

The expease of horse hire, which is paid from the fuads of each company, is very heavy, and prevents this regimont fiom appearing before the public a3 often as the others. The cost of harnessing each pie-e and caisson averages $30 on ordinary oocasions, and on great parades as much as $5 haz been paid for each horse. As soon as the State can furnish harncas sufficient, each gun and caisson will appear with four horses; but at present there ie not in the ar- senal harnees for more than three guns. ‘The rec&nt promotion of the former commander of the fourth regiment to the rank of Brigadier General has czused many changes, and no less than nine officers made their first parade on the Fourth of July last. The regiment is but the ske- Yeton’ of what it should be; if they were alt filled up, it would prevent, in addition to its three troops of cavalry, thirty brass six-pound field pieces and thinty csisrons, to man whi h would require 420 men and 285 horses. Of the cavalry t vo companios are hussars, with red and blue uniform, while the third are dressed in the uniform of the old United States dragoons. Company B, of the artillery, are reseed in the uniform of the old United States ar- tillery, and has three gurs; company C,.in the new uniform, and has four guna; company D, also in the new uniform, and hastwo guns; company E hae neither men nor uniforoy, but has a captain; company F, old United States uniform, and parades. two guns, with four horses to each piéce and catsson.

The com- panics have drilled on« night a week for the last six months past, and in a ition monthly regimental drills bave been held as ihe new City Arsenal. It is now thirty years since the orgunization of this corps, and its success is in a great measure axri- butable to the careful and evonomical administration of ite affaire, as well as to its tactical instruction.

THD XIGHTH REGIMENT. The Kighth regiment, known as the Washington Grays, was, previous to the organization of the Third brigade, called the Tnird regiment, and as appears irom the old resords aud other sources, Is one of the oldest, most patriotic and weil disci- plined regiments. A sketoh of ity history was given by the Hoa. N. B.

General Aiacomb was al-vaya proud of his con- ection with the eld Third regiment, and at a large banquet, given some years aco bs the corps, he allnd- ed 16 it in the mest gratifying langeage. My triexd on the right, the present and efficient and deve-ved ly popular commanding officer of the division, Major Gereval Canaries W. Sandford, was promoted (rom this regiment.

Genera! William Hull, now commanding the Tbird brigade, sacceeded General Mortis in the commend of this regiment.
