Regular officers in the South.
Louisiana, as well as others of the seceded States, have wisely entrusted the command of their soldiers to officers who have served in the regular army, and are fresh in the knowledge and practice of their professional duties.
Braxton Bragg, the celebrated commander of the Flying Artillery at the battle of Buena Vista, brevetted Major for his distinguished services in the Mexican war, is appointed Major General of the Louisiana Army; Major George Deas, also his conduct in the battle of Chepultepec, where he was twice wounded.
He was recently appointed to the command of West Point, which place he resigned to devote himself to the services of his native State.
These gentlemen are said to be of the elite of the army of the late United States; none stand higher for skill, courage, and noble conduct in their profession.
The example of Louisiana in calling such men to the command of her military forces, is one that ought to be universally followed.
