As there is a vacancy in the Third Regiment of North Carolina in the service of the United States, occasioned by the Promotion of Major Lockhart, we think it cannot be better filled than by promoting Henry Dixon, who has served as a Captn. in the Continental Army two years, and has always been indefatigable in his Duty, who we believe is endowed with Courage and Conduct.

If the above is not entirely inconsistent with the established regulation of the Army, I think the Majority cannot be better filled than by the appointment of Captain Dixon.
