Of his forces Gen. Blunt, by making
hard nights march, reached and at
tackled the rebel force at Maysville, near
the northwest corner of Arkansas, at 7
A. NJ, on the 22d instant.
The enemy was under cover, estimat-

The enemy fed precipitately beyond

The rebels have evacuated the Kama
VIVA valley in Western Virginia, and we
presume it is now in possession of the
Union forces. 1t is supposed that the

valley.
Several guerilla bands in various parts
of the country have been broken up, and
many prisoners captured.
Gen. Buell. has been superseded, and

SIXTEENTH REGIMENT - An election
OF officers took place al Bellows Falls on
Friday last resulting as follows:
Colonel, Wheelock G. Vezey of Spring
field.
Lieut.. Colonel, Charles Cummings of
Brattleboro
Major, William Rounds of Chester.
Col. Vezey went out as Captain of Co.
A, in the Sd Vermont Regiment, and was
soon after promoted to be Lieut. Col. of
the same, which position he has since
filled with signal ability, and in 4 manner
to win the respect and confidence of all
under his command, as well as of his SUI
perior officers. The Regiment could not
have made better selection.
Lieut.. Col. Cummings is well known
as the able and judicious editor, for a
number OF yeats past, OF the Brattleboro
Phoenix, and for the past three years,
Clerk of the House of Representatives
He enlisted as a private in the three years
regiments, and was elected a Lieutenant
in the Brattleboro Company, 10th Ver-
mont Regiment, but was Immediately
thereafter appointed Major OF the 18th
Vermont by the Governor. But as the
Governor subsequently revoked his APP
pointments in Difference to the claim OF
the line officers to elect the field officers,
he failed to 60 with that regiment, only to
be elected as Lieut.. Col. in the 16th.--
We have no question that he will make a
capable and efficient officer.
Major Rounds is member of the le-
gal profession, and has been in practice a
number of years in Chester. He has
been States Attorney for Windsor Coun-
ty for the past two Or three years, which
office he holds at present. He was 8
member Of the Legislature in 1889, and
signalized himself for ability, and devotion
to the public interests. enlisted will
the nine months men and was elected Cap
tain of the company raised in Chester.
| On the whole the 18th Regiment may
congratulate itself upon the selection of its
field officers.
