all the battles of the Peninsula, and was pro-
NOTED to lieutenancy for gallant conduct
he served with the Tth until the expiration OF
its term Of three years service, when he was
mustered out and honorably discharged. Ten

of ninety-eight men, was commissioned Cap
tain of it,and inIeleyen dayslfrom the date Of
his mustereut in the 9TH, he was again mus
tered into service and assigned to the 9th reg
iment. 1t is unnecessary to say that he will
be a good officer; he has been already. IT
