ELECTION or FIELD OpFIoERs OF TIE
FIRST VIRGINIA REGIMENT.-A meeting OF
the commissioned officers Of the First Regt,
ment of Virginia Volunteers was held at
the Office Of the Old Dominion Insurance
Company on Saturday night. Captain
George d. Wise was called to the chair
and Lieutenant M. P. Handy appointed
secretary. On motion, TIE meeting then
unanimously recommended the follow
ing gentlemen to the Governor for ap.
pointment as field officers For Colonel,
Captain John A. Sloan, of Company A ;
for Lieutenant Colonel, Captain Lucien
Bass, of Company B: for Major, Captain
J. D. Whitehead, of Company G. E
A committee consisting of Colonel Sloan,
Lieutenant-C Colonel Bass, Major White
head, Captains Clarke and BossieuX, and
Lieutenant Handy, was appointed to pre-
pare Nan Of organization for the board
officers. The recommendation Of the meet
ing will probably be confirmed BY the CO.
vernon and their commissions issued this
week. a.
The field officers elect were all gallant
soldiers in the Confederate army. Colonel
Sloan enlisted early in the war as 81 private
IN the TWenty-seventh North Carolina regi-
ment, and served with distinction until its
close. He rose TO the rank of captain, and
was judge-advocate in two corps. At the
time Of the surrender he was major, and
commanded his regiment. Of late he has
commanded the Lee Guards.
Lieutenant.ColonelB Bass also served in
the Confederate army throughout the war.
He is an accomplished tactician and was a
good soldier. lie was first lieutenant in
Company G, Twenty Virginia reei-
ment, and commanded his company at the
battle Of Sailors Greek. In this battle he
WAS taken prisoner and sent to Johnson's
island. His company. under the present
organization of the volunteer force, is the
Walker Light Guard.
Major Whitebead at the outbreak Of the
war was captain of the National Grays, a
crack company from Portsmouth, Va. He
was with his company on every battlefield
from Suffolk to Gettysburg, and commanded
his regiment in person ut the surrender at
AppUmlttox Courthouse. At present he
is captain of Company G, which is com.
posed OF gentlemen residing in the eastern
part Of the city.
These selections will give general satisfac-
ton. ALI Of the gentlemen recommended,
though young, are enthusiastic in military
matters, have good var records, and have
been prominently identified with the move
ment for the Reorganization of the vOlun-
teer force Of Virginia.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF A FATHER AND Son.
A Chicago correspondent of the Hartford Cou-

Chicago has recently witnessed double
suicide, vi character particularly painful and
shocking. Its details have been excluded from
our local papers, but see no reason why its
moral should be lost abroad. Dr.--was one
Of the most conscientious, wealthy and trusted
physicians OF Chicago. He was an Alderman
also, and member of the Board Of Education
"a man Of much power and considerable cul-
ture but like some otherpersons, he had fallen
victim to the cup. His practice did not per-
ceptibly diminish on that account. for there is
prevalent superstition that great success in
medicine is incompatible with temperate prin-
ciples and habits The doctors father was
man Of similar temperament, and a free liver"
also. He too was citizen OF prominence, and
had held several places oftrust.
Three weeks ago father and sou went uelIb-
erately forth ION spree They wallowed
together in drunkenness. They deserted their
homes for the season of dissipation, and lodged
among the uncean. At the end Of week the
fathers endurance was exhausted, and he sunk
down upon the street and was taken home with
delirium tremens. He fingered two days, s7lf-
fering all the torments OF perdition, and died
a horrible death, his son being dragged in from
the street long enough to take drunken look
at the coffin. Last week the son better consti-
tuition gave way, and he, too, was taken home,
crazed with whiskey. He fingered longer, but
the liquid fire burned its way to his vitals and,
after raying through the terrible nights, and
crying for more, he finally died in the midst OF
imag iuary reptiles, and his body was laid by
the side of the fresh mound Of his tather This
double suicide, 50 rapid and terrible, by two
prominent and respectable men, has created a
profound sensation III all circles where the facts
are known.

AS an ercuse, if not a reason, for fraud and de-
ialcation on the part of persons holding offices

don give them enough to live on Well: if
they don't get enough to live on, why don't
they resign and seek some other way Of sup
porting themselves? Why go to stealing ?
Why resort to dishonesty Why rob other peo-
pie? Where man, holding an Office, finds
that he is not making living, he ought to quit
