Bad Luck

The Seventh Regiment OF Ohio volunteers
was organized at Camp Taylor, near CieVelana'
Senator GARFIELD had some military aspira-
tions, and it was thought that, by combining
certain companies in that Regiment, he might be
made Colonel. When the time came for the
election of Regimental officers E. B. TYLER was
unanimously elected; the Regiment having
decided to vote for no man who was not upon the
roll as member of it. For informality'
the election was set aside, and the Regiment
ordered to Camp JACKSON. and from thence 10
Camp DENNIsoN. twas quartered here on Sum-
div night last, and went down to Camp DESNIsoN
on Monday morning. While here, Senators
MONROE and GARFIELD were very attentive to
the command, and did the agreeable to the
men in Camp Jackson, on Sunday evening
Since the arrival of the Regiment at Camp
Dsnnison, it has held another election, which
resulted as follows: E. B. TYLER, $50; J. A.
GARFIELD, ,243. Thus the Portage Senator was
defeated a second time. We advise Mr.. GAR
FIELD to volunteer and enter the ranks with the
bows, and take bic chance for promotion. 1t Is
impossible for all to carry swords who are anxi'
GUS to do go, but there will be abundant OPP
portunity for men Of capacity to advance from
the ranks. Go in, Senator sag, g.,
