REGRET IS GENERAL.

There is general regret in this city because of the near approach of the departure of the Eighth infantry com panies and their commanding officer from this place. Major Terrett, Capt. Andrus and the other officers of Com psnies I and NJ have a high place in the esteem of the citizens of this city. They have lived here so long that they are looked upon as a part of the life of this busy little city, and they will leave a vacant place that will be very noticeable. And the loss to the social life of the city will be irrepar- able. The ladies of the post have en- deared themselves to the people of this city by their many charming qualities and graciousness.
 It would not be proper to close this expression of regard without a good word for the men. The .non-commis-
