Colonel Baker yesterday issued the fol-
lowing order:
order No. 7-Major J. C. Watson is
hereby detailed under Article 80, Arti-
cIes OF war. to try soldiers of the regi-
ment for offences not capital
BY order Colonel Baker
w. G. CAMPBELL,
First Lieutenant and Adjutant.
II is not likely that Major Watson will
nave much work to do in his new posi-
tlOn. The order in camp is well-nigh
perfect. Colonel Baker says he never
thought 1t possible to get together 5000
men who would be so quiet and orderly.
There has never been any serious trouble,
ana from what has been learned of the
character OF the men, it seems pretty
certain there will not be.
ELECTED CAPTAIN FAULKNER.
Company E. the Lynchburg Home
Guard, yesterday morning elected Sc
cond-Lieutenant w. S. Faulkner to sue
coed Captain Scruggs. who has been pro-
noted TO major of the Third Regiment
The action was unanimous. First-Lieu-
tenant Seabury was not a candidate
Sergeant Frank Adams was made second
lieutenant. The election of Captain
Faulkner created great pleasure among
his men, AS good a successor to Cap
tain Scruggs may have been found. but
the company does not contain a more
worthy one.
Colonel Nalle has not taken charge of
the Third Regiment He has been mus
tered in. but his time was employed yes
terday In winding up his business at the
acknowledgements office. and went to
his home, in Culpeper. yesterday, to re-
turn, probably to-day.
