The annual election for town Trustees
took place on Saturday, and resulted as
might have been expected in the re election
Of the cold Board" This result wall be
claimed by some whose zeal in certain di-
rections outruns that candor or powers Of
reelection, "a triumph Of MORALITY
and Of TEMPERANCE, false conclusion
certainly, unless il be established that the
negroes are moral aud temperate people, for
not one Of this same old Board could have
been elected without the support Of the
negroes; let who will assert the contrary.
As go the negroes, so go the town elections

Capt. S. NJ. Boone, Of this place, has
in his possession paper containing the
mus ter roll, &c. OF the Petersburg, Va,

yeants, James Stevens, Robert B. Cook,
Samuel Stevens, John Henderson; Corpor-
ais, n. b. Spottswood, John Perry, Joseph
Scott, Thomas w. Scott, Joseph G. Noble,
Geo. I. Claugh. Then follows list Of
eighty-seven priyates, of these the record
shows that four were killed and seventeen
wounded al the sortie referred TO. The
following complimentary order was issued
on the discharge Of the Company from
service: HEADQUARTERS, DETROIT, Oct.
IL, lSl3.-General Order No. -. The
term Of service for which the Petersburg
Volunteers we're engaged having expired,
they are permitted TO commence their
march to Virginia as soon as they can be
transported to the South side Of the Lake
In granting discharge to this patriotic
and gallant Corps, the General feels at
loss for words adequate to convey his sense
Of their excellent merits. Almost exclu-
sively composed Of individuals who have
been nursed in the lap of ease, they have
for twelve months borne the hardships Of
a military life in the midst Of an inhospit-
ible wilderness, with cheerfulness and
alacity that has never been surpassed.
Their conduct in the field has been excell-
ed by no other Corps, and whilst in camp
they have set an example Of subordination
and respect for military authority to the
whole army. The General requests that
Capt. McRae, his subalterns, non commits
stoned officers and privates, accept Of his
warmest thanks and bids them an afiec-
tionate farewell. By command Of Robert
Butler, Acting Assistant Adjutant General.
