ments for the 25th Wisconsin Regiment,
which will rendezvous at Lacrosse.
THE COLONEL.
Daniel ]. Dill. of Pierce county has
been appointed Colonel. He is the
wealthy, loyal, liberal, and plucky cap
tain of the Prescott Guards, in Col. Cut
ler's 9th Wisconsin regiment, now in
Virginia. He is reputed to be an excel-
lent officer, having served in the Mexican
war before going into the present war.
LIEUTENANT COLONEL. -s
Capt S. ]. Nesmith of the 7th Wiscon-
sin regiment, resident of PlattsvIle,
Grant county, has been appointed Lieu
tenant Colonel. He enjoys good rep
utation, and will probably make capable
officer, as he has military experience and
popularity.
Jeremiah NJ. Rusk, member of the
Assembly, from Bad AK, now Vernon
Co., is we'll known rs the efficient mail
contractor and proprietor of stages be-
tween Sparta and Prairie due Chen ala
Viroqus. lie is man of splendid
physique, and is every inch man. It
is said he pledges himself TO raise two
companies of volunteers for the regi-
ment. fr+r
All things considered, we doubt
whether the appointment could have been
better. They will ensure the active in
fuence Of the prominent friends of these
officers throughout the District. Apart
from the efficiency of the gentlemen ap-
pointed, we think the appointments have
been so judiciously distributed, that the
people of the several counties from Grant
county to St. Croix River will all pull to-
gether for prompt filing up of the reg
iment. The plan to be pursued by the
recruiting officers is to enroll at once the
names Of all persons who desire to Join
the regiment after the goth of August,
80 as TO give them time for harvesting.
From the State Journal.
Capt. DANIEL ]. DILL, of Prescott,
now in the 9th regiment has been com
mssioned as Colonel Of the 25th. Col.
Dill raised a fine compan last year, and
has the reputation of being an accom-
plished officer. He saw service in Mexico
as well as in the present war.
The Lieut.. Colonel of the 25th regi-
ment is s. j. NEsMTH, of the 9TH regi-
ment, whose homo is PIattsville. He has
proved an excellent officer, and his wide
acquaintance and popularity in the West
will enable him to render valuable service
in filling up the regiment.
j. NJ. RusK, WHO is appointed Major
of the 25th, was a member of the last
Assembly from Bad AK, now Vernon
county. He is widely and favorably
known in the portion of the State where
he resides, and is man OF energy and
pluck, with sufficient physique to endure
the fatigues of the service without wayer-
ing. He has no experience in actual
war, but we have no doubt he will prove
brave and capable officer.
