A Gallant Soldier Promoted.

We have noticed the fact once or twice
that Sergeant Carter 2. johnson. tof
staunton). Company F., srd regiment. U.
s. Cavalry. had been officially mentioned
by his superior officers for gallant conduct
on the field of battle. A special Military
Commission was ordered to convene at
Fort Laramie, Wyoming Territory, for the
purpose of examining Serg't Johnson. for
promotion to Lieutenancy in the regular
army. The Commission met on the 9Th
inst, and after thorough examination
passed him. He will now be promoted to
the rank of Second Lieutenant. After
promotion it is likely that he will be sta
toned while in the artillary school ut
Fortress Monroe. Mr.. johnson is an bon
orable and chlvalrous young man, whose
promotion realizes the expectations OF
those who knew him, and gratifies their
pride as well.
