Bv the steamboat ltrchcr We have news from
the Fort sunday, the 9th inst seven companies of
Col Prices gincnt had arrived the Fort sunday
Two companies. one from Carol! and one from Living
Co crossed To the Fort on SUNDAY When the
whole are assembled there Will be fourteen companies
Three more companies were expected To complete Col
Prices regiment Whether the Two which crossed Oh
sunday part OF the regiment OF not we haze not
been able 10 learn.
On Wednesday an election took place held officers
OF the regiment with the understanding that the three
companies they arrived were 70 have the liberty OF
voting 20 far the companies had voted, the
result stood follows Sterling Price mad been elected
Colonel OF the regiment by the unanimous vote OF the
seven companies present Our informant states. that
It had not been distinctly understood that II Price was
elected Colonel the regiment would De dsbanded, ne
would not have been elected
As il was and with this apprehension before them n
large portion OF the would have voted against
him any respectable man had competed for the office
Col Price should feel battered by the mode and manner
by which ne obtained his elevation Ii the President had
not gwen him the position ne did MS neghbors
would have elected him
For Lieut. Colonel the stood follows For Mr.
Allen private IN the company from Marion county go
Tor D. D. Mitchell. OF this city the person desig
mated By President Polk for the ofice, 1870 votes
For Major Capt Edmouson. OF III. - Louis De halb
Rangers, had ,l3 NJ Walker OF Jefferson Civ
the selected ~ Governor Edwards and Col! Price
for this Office the designated by the President hav
N. been previously elected 10 another Office received
= votes.
Thus stood the vote when our informant lef,. and
Three more companies 10 vote and the general impress
r
elected We think the Re gimen! aa lost the services OF
most valuable and ef.c!en; officer in Major D. D.
Mitchell long and practically familiar w!th life
me and plains having several year: been
member OF The American Fur Company and
quite familiar with the Indian character and habits and
witaa combining al the elements OF the finished gen
teu3an, bravery and courtesy.
But the result: : not different from what aEtic
pated. We knew the spirit OF The Volunteer, would
revolt against the dctaton OF Mr Polk and h cabinet
and ths; would manifest itself nrst moment
When the Ioun;eers believed they might do without
endanserins their acceptance mo the sergice.
We might add that Major Mitchell was the only Wing
named Tor star E=id officer II the regiment and
from the character OF the confidential letter addressed
by the Secretary OF War the request OF The President
70 Governor Edwa-ds dated the 81 June IN which
complete Loco-FccO organization Of the regiment
suggested We suspicious that this result may have
been brought about .! those pouca! appliances which
the LocoFOco leaders know well ho~ IN cases
where they wish them.
