 Capt John w. Duncan having been relieved from duty in Col Brooks regiment we think it due him to state thus publicly his removal from the command of his company. Capt. Duncan appointed in August iast from different regiment by Col C. A. Carroll to the mand of company D Brooks regiment. This appoint declared illegal by Gen. Holmes, aud thus Capt Duncan lost his position It not from any failure his part to perform his duty soldier officer. We take pleasure in tesfying the genemany department of Capt Duncan whle he was associated with us and re- gret the necessity which occasioned his removal
