The Polish Brigade.
--This is is the accepted name of one of the splendid
Louisiana regiments, raised by the exertions of that noble old patriot,
Major G. Tochman, now encamped at Griffin's Spring, near this city.--The
Colonel,
V. Sulakowski, is a Polander by birth.
He graduated at the celebrated military school of ‘"Theresianum,"’ in
Austria.
He served for six years in the regiment of Austrian Grenadiers, and subsequently served with great distinction in the
Italian war of 1848, and in the
Hungarian war of 1849.--Since
Col. Sulakowski has been in this country, he has been a civil engineer in
Louisiana for the last ten years. Most of the privates are
Americans, Irishmen or French.
All but three of the officers are
Americans, among them several natives of old
Virginia.
