Distinguished as was this regiment in the field, it will be as well remenibered by the linportaat events which otherwise attach to its history. Before it was the memorable speech made by its colonel, John Cochrane (the Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, present aud approving), which first advocated the arming of the slaves; the grand national lyric, “Joun Brown's Body,” was first sung in its ranks; and it was the last regiment of the greatest army the world has ever seen mustered out of the service of the United States. ‘The Chasseurs left New York, under Colonel Coch- rane, on the 27th day of August, 1861. They were ofticered by members of the renowned Seventh regi- ment. Alexander Shaler was their heutenant colo- nel ana Joseph E. Hamblin their major. The regiment was organized by the wriiten authority of Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, by whom its colonel was concurrently (June 11, 1861) mustered into the service of the United States, Subsequently its fleid officers, Colonel Cochrane, Lieutenant Colonel Alex- ander Shaler and Major Joseph E. Hamblin received from the President of the United States their appoint- ments respectively to their several ranks, On Colonel Cochrane’s receiving the commission of brigadier general the officers of tie regiment took commissions from the State of New York, upon whose roll the regiment was the Sixty-fifth New York Volunteers, ‘The Chasseurs served on the peninsula and in Maryland, under General McClellan, and, having been incorporated with the Sixth Army corps at its for- mation, was present at and participated in all its battles on the Rappahannock, in Maryland, the valley, Pennsy!vania, at Petersburg to Five Forks and Sauor’s creek. The assistant adjutant general of the corps, Brevet Major General M. 5. McMahon, says:—“On the Isth of July, 1865, the Sixty-filth New York Volunteers (Chasseurs), the last regiment of the greatest army that has ever illuminated history by 8 deeds, was duly discharged from the ser- vice of the nation.”—United Service Magazine tor April, 1866. When mustered out but forty veterans of its original rank and file were left. Its first field oificers, Cochrane, Shaler and Hamblin, be- came brigadier generals and brevet major generals. ‘hwo Of 18 captains, William Gurney and Thomas Higginbotham, became coivnels of other regiments, abu the first named (Gurney) brigadier geaeral by brevet. In its later campaigns it was commanded by Colonel Henry C. Fisk. The second reunion of the officers of the regi- ment was held last the hoase of the occasion was honored by the presence of the various geuerals under waom the regiment bad fought. Generals Frankl Smith (Baidy), Newton, Wright, Aber- crombie augi Pike Graham were in attendance, and the ladies of the officers graced the scene. Narra- ve, reminisceuce aud anecdote contrivuted to tue general mirth. Among the most interesting was that of Willian C, Kemey’s, who, while visiting his son, 4 jieutevant in the Ohasseurs, was surprised with the regiment by the attack upon the Union lines a Seveu Pines. He seized a musket and fought iu the ranks with (ue soldiers there, and at the bactie of Fair Oaks. The Chasseurs made him for this an houorary member of their body. Another anecdote Was tod of General Hambiin, who, when taking farewell of his veterans, ied his regard for Uiem all by advancing to their sergeant and pinning ubon his breast tue regimental badge winch he had jast taken from fis own. ‘There were no dry eyes on that occasion. Another was told of General Cochrane. One dark, cold night the day’s warch had brought the brigade to camp in ‘Yland, on ground intersected with rail feuces. The soldiers were ireezing, and, the generai orders having re- cently lorbidden tae soldiers to burn any fences, the General ordered that only the top rail shouid be buraged, and as there was lefi a top rail to the last, of course the fences soon dissappeared in the blaze of joyful camp fires. On compiamt the next morn- img the General pleasantly imaisted tnat als com- mand having burned nothing but tue top rail some ove else must have burned the fences. When the Chasseurs and thei guests drew around the banquet tavie General Cochrane introduced we theme oi the evening with the recital Of the foulow- ing stanzas. The scene was impressive and solemn when, at the words “Comrades, a toast—all stand- ing,” the whole company arose and silently drauk Our aead in freedom's fight, Tesnming their seats the General proceeded with the siaucas to the end:— THe CHASERURS. ‘We bore upon our ruster Comrades a thousand strong; But battie and the pestilence Have thinoe the martial Ubrong.

Cupid’s Vagaries in Jersey~Love at Eighty- three and Blighted Affections at Half a Century—Spicy Developments of Love's Old Drenam—Damnges Laid at $40,000. In the Hudson County (N. J.) Court yesterday the case of Mary Harrison vs. George Vreeland came up before Judge Bedle and the associate Justices of tle county. The case has been postponed from term to term in the hope of a compromise, but the dispute, becoming more aggravated by delay, has gone at length under the arbitrament of the highest tribunal in the county. The plaintit® is a widow, forty-five years of age, and charges the defendant, amere remnant of mortality, with one foot on the threshold of the grave and about com- pleting his eighty-third year, with breach of promise of marriage. It appears that in the spring of 1863 an intimacy arose between plainui? and defendant, and resulted, as alleged, in the latter making a pro- position of marriage, which was accepted. Mr. Vreeland’s family would not countenance such & proceeding, and the alieged’/ engagement was accordingly postponed from time to time and eventually broken off. Damages were laid at $40,000, a sum quite considerable for the plaintitf, who has followed the vocation of school teacher for a living, while the defendant is reputed to be very wealthy and belongs to one of the oldest and most respectable families in Bergen. A perusal of the case will satisfy any one that it is the most singular ever brought before a civil court in New Jersey, and such a case ts of such rare occur- rence anywhere that N. P. Willis was con- sidered to have counted the pulse of his times most accurately when he gave us line, “Your love in @ cottage grows huneay, H arecarenen: to an extraordinary case in those days. To quote the hackneyed line, ‘The course of true iove,” &c., in the present case would be too satirical, Both parties to the suit have taken “fare- well, a long fareweli”” to the heydey of lite, when the blood courses madly through the veins and leaves the love-smitten youth some apology for am unthinking submission and and oftentimes absolute surrender to the demands of the blind god. Accord- ing to the plamtiff's statement the old man showered on her the attentions of a love-sick mortal— in fact, that the-so called friendship mpened into a feeling that is but feebly expressed in the word atfec- tion, And what areveiry of biiss bovh must have indulged in when he conjured up to her mind a pic- ture cf the happy home (as alleged) which both were so soon to share! And how mot! ‘ing must it have been, on the other hand, when, as the time for the consummation of the alle; engagement came round he wrote to her @ confused state of mind setting forth that he was greatly troubled by the perversity of his family, who were so ungenerous as to insinuate that any acceptance of the proposition of marriage vy her was nothing more nor less than a conspiracy on her Bart to pos- sess herself of the old man’s property! He was sub- jected to so much annoyance on this account that it ‘was deemed advisable to postpone the en; went. She replied that if he desired to be released from his engagement she was quite willing to accede, but it is alleged he continued to visit her.
