In accordance with published orders the
commissioned officers-feld, staff, and COM
pany-of the First Virginia Volunteers as.
sembled last night at the office OF the Pied
mont and Arlington Life Insurance Company
for the purpose of electing commanding
officer to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Colonel John A. Sloan. The
meeting was largely attended, all the officers
being present with but three or four eXcep.
tions. Lieutenant Colonel Whitehead pre-
sided, and, after stating the object of the
meeting, announced that nominations were
in order.
Colonel Whitehead and Major Albert Ord
way were successively nominated, but both
gentlemen positively declined the honor.
General Bradley T. johnson was then
placed in nomination, as were also the names
of several captains of the regiment, each
being handsomely endorsed in eulogistic
speeches.
