A dispatch in the Chicago Times from St. Lois, states that Col. Galligan has resigned, and is at present in that city. No confirmatory intelligence has been received in this city, but the report is believed to be true. Ill health, arising from a bronchial affection, we learn, is the cause of the Col.’s resignation. We deeply regret to hear of this affliction, and hope Col. G. will soon regain his health under Iowa skies. He would, in all probability, have been Colonel Dodge’s successor in command of the Fourth regiment had re remained in the service.
