is of the removal of Col. Marshall. NJ
d. change has as yet been made in the reg
IN mental officers. But one course, how
Iy ever, We presume, will he pursued, anc
r. that is, Gov. Tod will carry out his prom

1 Col. Rowe is entitled to the Colonelcy

h, Capt, Glenn to the Majorshp. Capt
In Glenn is very popular with the regi
Is ment, and being justly entitled to pro
e, motion will, if the wishes of the regi
Or ment be considered, succeed. Majo
d Hatfield is also much respected and i
as strongly spoken of for Colonel. Adju

he though all admit his qualifications, he
lie not in tho regular line Of promotion

It. What Gov. Tod may bo induced to do i
IT, the matter, remains to be seen. W
IS hope, as a regiment, to be entitled to
q. hearing in the case. ........
