WITH COMPANY E.
Resignation and Promotions Among
Our Cecil County Soldier Boys.

Much regret was occasioned among our
Cecil county soldier boys at Fort Monroe
this week by the resignation OF Second Lieu
tenant Warren ]. Haines, OF Company B.,
who was forced to retire from service by the
urgent demand of his business duties in Phil
adelphia, where he holds confidential posi-
tion in the office of one of that ci,y's leading
real estate firms Lieutenant Haines Is Il son
OF l.. M. Haines, Esq OF Elkton, and went
into service with Company Z of EIkton, in
which he held the rank of Sergeant. He was
very efficient As II soldier and one of the
marnstays of the home company for num-
Der OF years. This record gained for him the
promotion when the vacancy occurred among
the commissioned officers of Company B
and in which he had gained the confidence
and este-m OF his men. Now that hostilites
are over the firm in Philadelphia with which
he is connected ins sted upon his resuming
his position.
The following promotions have been made
i'll Company E , of Elkton:- Corporal Will
lam Miller, Private Frederick Cosner, to be
sergeants: Pfivates Robert Rudolph, Aldred
Miller. John Ryan, George White ami Harry
Wilson, to be corporais
1t is reported that there is a likelihood of
the First Regiment being moved to Camp
Meade. On Wednesday Colonel Lane re-
ceivel "a telegram calling for two battalions
OF the FIRST to 90 to Camp Meale, at Middle
town. Pa. Colonel Lane wired back that it
was his desire not to break up his command
if it could be avoided. and orders are now
looked for to move the whole regiment.
1t was hardly expected that the movement
would be in this direction, but that question
is not argued. An order to move in the
direction of home would be most acceptable
to most Of the men. Many Of the officers
expressed their regret ut leaving Fortress
Monroe, for withai they have formed many
friends there The FIRST has had the finest
post assigned any command in the United
States, 50 far as natural advantages are con-
cerned, and the only complaint has been
that it was too easy.
ORDERED TO CAMP MEADE.
This week the commanding officers OF the
First Maryland. Of which Company f. OF Elk
ton helongs and which has been stationed at
Fortress Monroe, Va, for the past two
months received orders 10 go to Camp Meade
This regiment has been waiting YEARLY for
several weeks for these orders.
