mediately after the battle Of Monterey,
in which Col. VIM. B. Campbell bore
his part with honor to himself some of the
leading wings in Tennessee named him

R. ANDERSON, who participated in the same
battle, and who by his gallant conduct won
admiration of all. He is an unAinching
democrat, and well qualified for the OfiicetOr
which he has been designated. He was
in command on the second day Of the fight,
although only a Lieut.. Colonel.
