PROMOITONs.-Am the recent promo
tons announced through the Ohio State
Journal we notice that of Capt j Ohm A.
Norris to Major; and ID Lieut.. J. A. Hol-
lOway to lst lieutenant. Both of the 9Sth
regiment
CAPT NORRIS. From letter in an 9TH
er column from Dr. McCracken, Surgeon of
the 9Sth regiment, it will be seen that Capt
Norris was wounded on the 10Th ult., and
that his leg has been amputated. In conf
mon with all our citizens we regret this cas-
ualty, and heartily sympathize with
this excellent man and gallant soldier
who has, in this way, been stricken dbwn
while in the line of his duty.
FINE CARRIAGEs-A few days ago we
visited the carriage shop Of j. d. Minnick
in this place, and were shown several beau
| tltul and substantial carriages built by him
| during the present season for customers,
which, we think, would compare iavorably
with work of the kind anywhere. Mr.
. Mmnick has purchased the Cadiz Carriage
| Shop, and permanently located in this place.
| lie is Il superior workman and an energetic
business man; and he will no doubt build up
large business here. Let such as need
carriages or buggics give him Il call before
| purchasing elsewhere.
THE 10th O. n. G.-I4atters were re-
| ceived on last Saturday evening. from sew
are now encamped near Sanday Hook in the
vicinity Of Harper 5 Ferry and many of them
are broken down by the recent hard march
! es. The regiment was in thetight near Win
chester and one or two ootLersEirmishes but
| none of the Harrison county boys we're eth
. er killed or wounded, since the battle Of
Smokers Gap. For raw recruits, they have
seen hard service since they came to the
Shenandoah Valley; and. from what We
learn, they have not been fairly dealt
with
By reference to an advertisement, it will
be seen that w. II, Host has been appointed
by Gov. Brough to recruit IA company in this
county under the late call This is good
appointment. Lieut.. Hest was among the
| first to enter the service of the country,
having volunteered i'll the first company
raised in this county. For three years, he
acted well his part, and was honorably dis
t charged from the service. Again bis coun-
| try calls for more men and again he offers
his services We trust Lieut. H. will sue
ceed in speedily raising company in this
county of as gallant and true men as he ha,
proved himself to be.
