Lieut. Laizure was among the first to volun-
teet IN Cadiz to help put down the present re-
beiii III. SO high did he stand in the estimation
ofhis fellow soldiers, that when Capt. Castelfs
company was organized in this place, he came
within very few votes Of being elected First
Lieutenant. When the company arrived at
Columbus he wis elected Orderly Sergeaht.--
lie filed his Office 50 well, thathis energy and
industry soon attracted the attention of the
Field officers o! the 18th Ohio Regiment the

called upon to fill the Responsible post OF Guar
terrnaster Of the Regiment. He cintinued in
this position until the Regiment arrived at! Par.
