EDITORS TELEGRAPH: A want Of anything
in the way of stirring embarrassing news, t.
write, has kept me silent for some time, but
| will now give what news there is ~aroundbhere
We have had quite a change in the officers 0
our Regiment. They are as follows, as ia
as l have learned: Capt. Hans Baebel, hal
been promoted to Lieut.. Colonel, III place o
Lehman, resigned. Capt. Bates, Co. F, ha'

E, has been promoted to Capt. in same Co.
All these appointments give very general sat
isfaction. 2nd Lieut.. Robert Miller, has been
promoted to 1st Lieutenant of Co. G, and is
now commander of our Company. He is an
excellent young man, and a good officer.
The following new appointments have thus
far been made. In Co. a, NJ. Young; c.
Geode; Co. B, VIM. Steinman; Co. c, H.
Rawth Co. D, A. Roach; Co. F, Otto Franz
mel, A. Cordier; Co. /, Geo. Trimmer; Coli,
C. Schmidt.
l see by the Milwaukee secesh papers, the
Neps, See Bote and Banner, that they don't
like the patriotic Address of the Regimental
staff officers of our Division, to the President,
on Washington's birthday. They seem to
pitch upon our Colonel, Jacobs) especially ;
and why? Simply because he is a Democrat,
and sticks to the good old Democratic doc
trine of jackson and Douglas, and believes in
having this Union restored at all hazards
Also because he supports the Administration !;
and for that they read him out OF the party !
Has it come to this, that if a democrat sup
ports the Administration, and does not be-
lieve in a dishonorable peace, he is read out of
their party? If so, they can read out of the
party, the whole Goth Regiment, Wis. Vols,
| am sure that at least two-thirds Of the Reg
iment, were Democrats. And not only our
Regiment, but every Democratic soldier in
the army, for l can assure you that every SOL
der aronnd here, would sign the same paper /;
and | am Informed every commissioned Off
Ger did sign it, and for this they are read out
of the party by those copperhead sheets!
They wish it borne in mind, that Col ia
cobs signed that patriotic address, and wants
every DEMOCRAT to make a note fit. Let
them do so, and the Republicans likewise
them remember that our brave Col. ia
cobs does not care for political matters, so long
this Union is i'll danger. That he is will
ing to give his life for his adopted country
which is better than staying at home, as these
copperhead editors do, trying to destroy this
country. Do they think they can discourage
us soldiers in the field? If they do, they are
mistaken, for every line they write, brings
the hatred of our soldiers more against them,
and they are more the anxious to be led into
battle to close up this war against southern
traitors, that they may be prepared TO turn
their attention to northern traitors if necessa-
ry. More anon. p. r.
