Harris Hooper, late of the Fifteenth Regiment, was commissioned lieutenant-colonel. This regiment, and the unattached companies, were never organized, in consequence of the suppression of the Rebellion, which happened a few weeks after the order was issued. On the 13th of March, the Governor wrote to John M. Forbes in relation to the question of currency and a loan to the State, a bill in regard to which was then before the Committee on Finance of the Legislature.
