To Brescia, which was the one Lombard town where the Piedmontese had been received in 1848 with real effusion, the Sardinian Minister of War despatched Count Giuseppe Martinengo Cesaresco with arms and ammunition, and orders to reassume the colonelcy of the National Guard which he held in the previous year, and to take the general control of the movement as far as Brescia was concerned.
He could have had the command of the regiment but did not think that he knew enough about army administration, and it was due to Roosevelt that Leonard Wood received the Colonelcy. The Rough Riders were sent promptly to Cuba, and when Col.
"Why, no one would think he could not; the eldest son of a man of wealth, so handsome, and a colonel." "Strong reasons, indeed, why he should prevail," said Sarah, endeavoring to laugh; "more particularly the latter." "Let me tell you," replied the captain, gravely, "a lieutenant colonelcy in the Guards is a very pretty thing." "And Colonel Wellmere a very pretty man," added Frances.
Hat in hand Colonel Arran bent over her hot little hand where it lay in his own. "I have been offered the colonelcy of a volunteer regiment now forming," he said without apparent interest. "You!" "Cavalry," he explained wearily. "But you have not accepted!" He gave her an absent glance. "Yes, I have accepted. . . . I am going to Washington to-night."
Early in 1863, the Government determined to form negro regiments, and Governor Andrew offered Shaw, who had now risen to the rank of captain, the colonelcy of one to be raised in Massachusetts, the first black regiment recruited under State authority. It was a great compliment to receive this offer, but Shaw hesitated as to his capacity for such a responsible post.
He felt and felt only the deadly affront offered to him of all the officers of the Guard the coarse bribe of the colonelcy dangled before his starving nose, for he alone of all the Guard had been deemed corruptible! The thought held more than the bitterness of death. He looked from wall to wall, and knew himself an unarmed man, so he made ready to die as a soldier and a gentleman.
My own division was temporarily commanded by General James W. Reilly, who had been promoted on my recommendation from the colonelcy of the One Hundred and Fourth Ohio. The recently announced promotion of Hovey over him seemed to him equivalent to an invitation to resign, and he acted upon it.
He had been recently promoted to a Colonelcy, and on the eve of the battle Fairfax had made him Commissary-general of Horse, with command of the left wing, over the heads of the other Colonels. This was at Cromwell's request, who had reason to know Ireton, and had special confidence in him. Nor did the result belie Cromwell's judgment.
Boyd and Torrijos quickly met; quickly bargained. Boyd's money was to go in purchasing, and storing with a certain stock of arms and etceteras, a small ship in the Thames, which should carry Boyd with Torrijos and the adventurers to the south coast of Spain; and there, the game once played and won, Boyd was to have promotion enough, "the colonelcy of a Spanish cavalry regiment," for one express thing.
The court of Hanover made him warmly welcome, counting itself the richer for his presence; whilst he, on his side, was retained there by the Colonelcy in the Electoral Guard to which he had been appointed, and by his deep and ill-starred affection for the Princess Sophia Dorothea, the wife of the Electoral Prince, who later was to reign in England as King George I.
