The Washington Press learns
that Capt. Cowles, of Co. H, 2nd Regiment, from Washington county, has been
elected Lieutenant-Colonel of that regiment. Capts. Huston and Littler, of Companies A and
B, are the only Captains now left who held that position in the 2d regiment
when it was first organized.
