B@- The Rev. J. B. PearsoD, formerly of Winsted, but now preaching at Plymouth Hol- low, has been rendered the ehaplaincy of the Litchfeld County regiment in place of Rev. MT. Wainright. We regret to see expressions of disapprobation O. the appointment in a neigbb0ring paper. Circumstances having ren- dered Mr. Wainwright's resignation expedient it was highly proper that the boys should have voice in the nomination of the new chaplain. MT. Wainwright's frigid performance Of his duties had sickened them of apostolic success sions, and when they learned that clever ar engagement had been made for them by which
 the Rev. Mir. Southgate. Ia very worthy ePis- copal clergyman from Litchfeid) was to take Mir. w Wainwrights place and Wainwright his, they naturally lay back is the harness. They | at once sent on to Gov. Buckingham an ex- pression of their preference for MT. Pearson,
 and he, like good Governor, as he IS, obliged them by appointing him. We understand that Mir. Pearson has some hesitation about the acceptance of the appointment. The church at Plymouth Hollow where he IS now officiating are much pleased with him, and contemplate giving him call. Should it do so, he would have pleasant and permanent charge The chaplaincy of regiment IS 8 difficult place to il-abounding in labors and poor in it's gratitudes.- Winsted Herald.
 This hardly states the case fairly. Every one of the officers entitled to vots-as we understand it-signed petition to Governor Buckingham, asking the appointment of Rev. Mr. Southgate as Chaplain, in the event ot MT. Wainwright's resignation. Subsequently an officer of the Staff, who had no vote in the matter at all-but who had personal friend ship for Mr. Pierson, circulated stories con- corning "the succession''-"an exchange" &e. and induced the line officers, at subse- quent meeting, to record their votes for Mir. Pierssn. Thus the matter stands at present. Gov. Buckingham has not commissioned ei- ther Mir. Pierson or MT. Southgate, but waits for tke matter to settle itself in the Regiment. The Colonel as yet has had nothing to say about it-the Lieut. Col. says he "don't care d-n about It, or Chaplain, one way or the other.' and voted for both-the Major is in fa- vor of MT. Southgate, and the line officers who voted for both men, feel little sheepish in the matter.
 We have no doubt, either Mr. Southgate or MT. Pierson will make very acceptable and excellent Chaplans to the Regiment, and are sorry the good influence of either should be forestallsd by so unfortunate state of things
