10, T G SrUBBs-This officer is now we be-
-. C Ci,:of Quarter Master of the Army in this
Stoto and has been promoted to the rank of Lieut.
IoI His headquarters have been in this city for
oboe time. We have known Colonel StubbS from
tbe time the army entered this city, and we take
pleasure in saying that he has shown himself at all
times an obliging and efficient officer. He is one
of the few disbursing officers of the government,
who has been retained in its service from the be-
ginning, and who has steadily risen by promotion
and in the confidence of the government and the
people. He is man of misunderstanding
himself, at all time, to the duties Of his office, po
lite and attentive, but exact and punctihous in
matters of business. We observed in passing the
other day, the ominous notice in his Office, Sc no
funds - but this is fault of the Colonel. He
will soon have that matter fxed.-Rak Sentinel
