q few Of our officers, there have been
several promotions in our regiment, viz
Capt. Milton Stewart, (than whom q
Drawer man never lived,) has been pro-

J. r. Hall, killed 1st Sergeant ". c.
Greeulee, Captain, and Scrgt. Sullivan,
LIST Lieutenant Go. b. vice LIST Lieut..
l.. C. Rayburu, killed. The last two
promotions are not intended to reflect on
the bravery or efficiency Of End Lieut.
Chas. T. Latham, but simply because nc
would not accept any higher position
1st Lieut.. Geo. Darner is promoted Cop
tain vice Capt. Slack, killed End Lieut..
Samuel Mathers, 1st Lieutenant, and
Sergt. Davis, End Lieutenant, Go. \ j
2nd Lieut.. John Rossler, Captain: vice

and not found wanting. Lieut.. Colonel
Stewart and Capt. Rossler, are both
absent on account Of wounds received ia
battle. Capt. Mccoy has just returned
to the regiment, after having got well
of wounds received on the Gath Of July,
at the battle of Kearnstown.
We are hoping to get back to the
Kanawha Valley this winter, but We
sometimes think VIC are hoping against
hope. We have some little assurance Of
getting back now, as I understand that
Major. General Crook has gone to visit
the Valley, and he may conclude that ii
may be necessary to have more troops in
there this winter. We hope the people
will use their influence to have us sent
buck, if it should be compatible with the
military interest. "a
|. We have heard Of the large majority
which our New State of West Va. gave
for the Union, and feel like shouting
aloud in our gladncss. 1t was a glori'
Gus day when the people of Wes'
Virginia determined to cast of FROM the
old hulk, which had been dragging then
down until they were well nigh swallow
cd up in the whirlpool Of secession and
rebellion, and it is but meet that they
should support the man who enabled
them so to do and received them into
the folds Of the glorious uuion as one Of
the thirty.fve stars that crown our M
tons starry emblem. It is getting late
and | will have to close.
Yours truly, FRANK.

The Latest News.
From Sherman.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 9.-On the even.
ing Of the 18th it vas only with the great.
est difficulty that the rebel pickets could
be induced to exchange papers, and most
Of them refused altogether. They said
they we're scarcely allowed to read their
own papers, much less to exchange them.
Some deserters the same evening said it
was reported in the rebel camp that
Sherman was only short distance from
Savannah, and that he was hating there,
waiting for the concentration Of his
various columns.
Dissatisfaction was said to exist among
the officers and men from the gulf
States, in consequence Of the effort to
conceal the news Of Sherman's progress
from them. They had heard that good
many Of our prisoners were released or
had escaped from Alillen and Anderson
vile. aud joined Sherman's line OF
morch.
No parolcd prisoners have arrived at
Annapolis since Monday, and the officers
here suppose that Sherman's operations
must have iuterfcred with the exchange.
On Monday lost Sherman was at
NIillcu with the main body Of his army,
moving southwark toward Savannah on
high land, between the Savannah and
Ogcecbee rivers, which protected both
hauks, while the cavalry guarded his
rear. This is.the substance of the in.
formation from the Richmond papers Of
the 7,h inst. In the opinion Of mill
tary men here. Sherman will be apt, if
Savannah offers serious resistance, to
move down the coast to Ossabaw Sound
and make that his base.
