Local Matters

The following persons were yesterday unanimously elected commissioned
officers in "Baker's Light Guard," 16th regiment: E. M Newcomb, 1st
lieutenant; Frank N. Doyle, 2d lieutenant. This company is from Dubuque, has
53 men in camp, and will probably be full in a week or two, as several
squads are now ready to come in.

The 16th regiment has just received from the East its complete uniforms,
overcoats and equipments-all of the best quality. These will be assigned to
the soldiers as fast as they are mustered in. As we have before said, this
will be the best equipped regiment formed in Iowa and put into service.
Additions of men are daily being made to the regiment.
