MAJOR WEBB AND CAf1AtN fnEnLaND
We regret to learn that Maj Robert f. Ne6o, OF
Orange las been compelled by sense of self
Iespect to resign his commission us Major of the
6.b Regiment of n c. State troops. The citizens
of this county will recocct that he the senior
Captan of that Regiment and raised one of the first
companies that entered the service twelve months
ago and that on the resignation of Lient Colonel
Dortch, Major Lightfoot became Lieut.. Colunsl and
Can't. Webb became Major. In this office he served
with distinction in the, battle Of Manassas, and III
all the subsequent engagements of the Regiment
including the recent fight of Seven Pines, On the
Chlckahoniny, in which his conduct is highly com
mended. But Immediately after this desperate bat
tie we are told he was ordered to tranfer the COM
mand of the Regiment which he held for the time
being to Capt. j. Avery, third or fourth Captain in
the grade below him, whom the Governor of North
Carolina had appointed Lieut.. Colonel in place Of
Lieut. Col Ligh,ioot, elected Colonel Of another
Regiment We are informed that tho rule is we'll
established, whenever promotion is made by Exec
ut!ve appointment that seniority of commission en-
titles officer matter OF right to succeed to the
place next above him, in Of vacancy, in all reg
mental Offices. This is so well established, that
had the President under the former government of
the United States nominated junior officer to fill
a vacancy in such case, the Senate would have
promptly rejected the nomination. But indepen-
IDENTIFY of the rule, Maj. Webb was entitled by his
merits to receive this promotion and to be spared
the degradation implied by denying it to him. He
had served creditably as officer Of the Orange
company of the N. G Reg iment in the war with
Mexico, and when the Regiment TO which he is at
tachcd in this war was formed, knew far more Of
discipline and the duties of camp and garrison thar
any officer belonging to it, with the exception, per
haps of Maj. Ligh'foot In dsent attention to,
and Intelligent performance of duty IN sobriety and
in honorable bearing venture to say that he has
been exceed 10y no officer in the service. His res
ignaton under these ci cu,nstances, therefore was
indispensable to the maintenance of his honor
Capt. William j. Frecland, of Orange, who was bad
ly wounded in the battle last mentioned, is also
oyerslaushed by this proceeding. He was next iii
rank to Major Webb, End upon the proper p-om,-
ton of the latter to the Lieutenant Co!onclcy was
entitled to become Major. Bat the rights OF both
are dlsrcgarded to provide for junior Captain
We are not in the habit OF harsh comment on the
conduct Of public tunctunarles but We have deemed
it our duty to call attention this violation of the
rights of two gallant citz,ns OF Orange. who were

been so little news, as within the last week.
Expectation is now on tip-toe to hear the results
Of the great battle which it is rumored will come Of
ina few days at Richmond. Both parties are con-
centratng the largest armies there ever brought in
contact on this continent Rumors assert that
Stonewal Jackson's army will be in the right place
at the right time.
The telegraph announces that Gen. Beauregard
and staff had gone on to Richmond. Beauresard
denies positively the statements attributed to Hal
leck as to his loss on the retreat from Cornh
Our loss he says was very small in all Respects.
We have nothing of any interest from any quar-
ter. The Yankee gunboats crossed Charleston ar
