Election for Field Officers.

The result Of m election for Lieut.. Col.
and MAJOR Of the I'd Regiment Of the South
Carolina Brigade in Virginia, was announ.
ced through our last issue. The annexed
additional particulars are reported by the
Richmond correspondent Of the Charleston
Mercury:
An election for Lieutenant c Colonel and
Major Of Col. kershaw's Regiment, held
day before yesterday, resulted Ia favor of
Erwin p. Jones, late u private in tho Butler
Guards, and A. ID. Goodwin, late the Adju.
tant OF the Regiment. II would not be fair
to say that the results were altogether unan.
imous, for these gentlemen were opposed
by other officers in the regiment entitled to
very high consideration, aud who were
wnrmly'supporled, but the result were &C.
quIesced in with great cheerfulness. even by
ths candidates defeated and those at home
who know the field officers Of this regime 1T
will feel assured that in this, as in other re-.
apects. it will stand comparison with any
other 10 ihs service.

The Palmetto Regiments in virsinia.

Knowing the deep interest which our rea
ders feel 10 The movements of the troops
In Virgins, and especially OF the South
Csroaias Brigade, composed of Colonies
Gregg. and Kershaw's Regiments and
commanded by Brigadier. General Bonham,
we will take especial pains to note and re.
port any change Of position which they
may be ordered to make, so far - the same
may bs given through the public prints.
Up to the 22d inst. the South Carolina
Brigade was still at Richmond. but hourly
expecting to be ordered to some other point;
il was not known where they would be
sent. but confidently believed and desired
that it would bs wherever the greatest dan.
ger and the most fighting was apprehended =.

pondents report that they are drilling assd.
uously for the conflict, that they were of.
ten referred to AZ the best drilled soldiers
in the field, and If they Were not 80 then
their officers seemed determined TO make
them so. High expectations were excited
in respect to them, and the entire Brigade
both officers and men, were resolved, if op-
poriunity offered, to sustain the reputed
bravery and chivalry of the Palmetto State.
South Carolina watches with deep concern,
but with unlimited confidence, the course Of
these her brave defenders and representa-.
tives. While she feels towards them all
the concern and sympathy which mother
would feel towards her offspring, she be.
lieves that they are equal to the trying or.
deal to which they will in all probability
soon be subjected.
We find the following dispatch in the
Mercury, dated Richmond, May 22d:
The Palmetto Regiments-Grege's and
kershaw's--haye received orders 10 move
to morrow morning to Manassas Junction
on the Orunge and Alexandria Railro ad-
This change will bring them within a short
DISTANCE OF Alexandria or Harper's Ferry.

command Of The Distrist lying between Al.
exandra and Harper's Ferry. This is the
most exposed portion of the border. Ills
headquarters for the present are at Manas.

The Charleston Mercury, of Saturday
last, contains the annexed dispatch, dated
May 24th:
