Remarks of the Inspector General on Colonel Webb's Regiment. This regiment is in seven companies, and is too weak to form a battalion; the only fault I find with it being in the best order of any I have yet seen at the first review. The arms are really a model for an army. The regiment marches perfectly, and has a military air. Colonel Webb deserves particular credit for the superior order in which he has kept his regiment. Extract from the Report. • ALEX. HAMILTON, Aide De Camp. Headquarters, September 22d, 1779. First Order to 3d Conn't Reg't after Release as Prisoner of War. It is with singular satisfaction the Colonel has it in his power He most earnestly recommends to officers a steady and constant attention to the Discipline of the Regiment. As the time is fast approaching when we shall again take the Field, let us exert ourselves that Regiment may appear in superior order. To accomplish this, nothing is more absolutely necessary than the strictest attention by officers to the internal police of the Reg't-they must be answerable that the non-commissioned do their Duty, and that they are properly supported in the Execution of it. The Col. flatters himself the Soldiers will continue to behave in a manner becoming the characters of men who are exerting themselves in support of everything dear to freemen; they will continue to recollect they are not mercenaries fighting for a foreign Prince, or for extent of Dominion, but for that which is dearer than life— their Liberty. At the end of the War we trust a grateful Country will honorably reward their noble exertions, and hereafter they will be handed down to future generations as men who have delivered themselves and their Posterity from tyranny oppression and the vilest servitude.
