            COMMISSIONED.--We are pleased to learn that Capt. H. B. Watson, of Johnston, has been commissioned by the Governor, Colonel Commandant of a camp of instruction for the Militia.  Maj. W. has seen service in the old United States Army.  He was a Lieutenant in the Mexican war and was brevetted a Captain by President Polk for efficient and distinguished services at three important points during that war.—He will make an excellent officer in his new position.—Raleigh State Journal.
