We copy the above for the information of our
readers ard for the purpose Of showing that in
every of promotion sare one, the officer pro-
NOTED has gone up according to grade. The excep-
ton is in the of Maj. Robert F. Webb, of the
9th regiment. He Major Of the 9th, and
entitled to the place of Lieutenant Colonel as soon
as Col. Lightfoot was promoted to the command Of
the 22d; but instead of this Captain was placed
over, his head. And this by the way is not the
first tune Maj. Webb has been treated unjustly. A
vacancy occurring while the regiment was COM
manded by Col. Fisher, he webb being senior
Captain was made Major; and afterwards Col. Pen
der was appointed to command the regiment, thus
cutting off both Maj. Webb and Lieutenant Colonel
Lghtfoot from the promotion to which they were
entitled. But Maj. Webb submitted to this without
complaint, for the good of the service.
Maj. Webb is, we believe native of Baltimore
a mechanic, and has resided IN this State about
eighteen years. lie served in the Mexican war, and
was promoted for good conduct. At the commence
nent of the present he raised company, and
attached himself to the 9th regiment. He fought
bravely at Manassas and in the battle of the 3lst
below Richmond and for his gallant conduct in the
late battle he was specially compl:mented by Gen.
Fender, in his report just published. He is gen.
tIeman of than ordinary intelligence, pleasant
in his manners, devoted to the cause, and compe-

FORE then, the injustice with which he has been
treated9 The only reason that perceive for
it is, that he opposed to dsunon up to the pro-
clamation of Lincoln. He was not in original Sc
cessionist.. Can that be the reason? We have
heard of no other, ard We know CT no other And
will the people approve of such conduct towards a
brave and meritorous officer? We cannot believe
they will. Fellow-ctzens, the spirit which has
thus prescribed and degraded Robert F. Webb is at
war with all decency and justine. 1t is partizan,
/ eEsh exacting domineering spirit in the midst OIL
war, and that too by those who ought to treat the
late Union men as equals and brethren, but Who on
the contrary not only deprive them of their rights
| as equals under common government, but encour.
