CAIRO, 2. P. M. April 2. – Brig. Gen. John A. Logan has so
far recovered from his wound received at Fort Donelson as to be able to rejoin
his brigade, and to-day started for the seat of war on the Tennessee. His wound is still very painful.
Lieut. Col. Ranford has been appointed Colonel of the 11th
regiment to fill the vacancy occasioned by the promotion of Col. Wallace to
Brigadiership.
Lieut. Col. Dunlap of the 29th regiment has resigned and
arrived [at] Cairo, as have also several other officers of a lesser grade.
Brig. Gen. John Cook, of the 7th regiment is here, in route,
for the theater of operations in Tennessee.
It is a very singular fact that those who have resigned, are
invariably those who have hitherto escaped unharmed, while the wounded ones are
as invariably returning to their duties.
Comment is unnecessary.
Gen. Strong is absent to-day, at Island 10.
The Hospital boat, Louisiana, started for the Tennessee
river with a full compliment of doctors and nurses on board.
