The Daily Dispatch: June 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], Ten dollars reward. (search)
Promotions. --The Third Company of Richmond Howitzers, now stationed at Yorktown, held an election on the evening of the 24th for officers — John M. West, 2d Lieutenant, being chosen 1st Junior Lieutenant, and Sergeant R. H. Smith, Jr., 2d Lieutenant. The Howitzers seem to have adopted the very good rule of making office the reward of meritorious service. Both of the above gentlemen served with ability in the battle of Great Bethel, and took part in the operations of our army before and after the affair, which resulted in so much glory to our arms. We may as well add here that the order for the march of the First Company of Howitzers from Manassas Junction to Yorktown has been countermanded.
