PERSONAL. - A petition has been extensively circulated in this community, requesting Gen. Griffin to retain the present efficient Superintendent of the Freedmen's Bureau of this county, Capt. Coggeshall, in office. The regiment of which he was an officer, having been mustered out of service, we learn, will necessitate his removal, the Captain not having applied for the position as a civilian. We take pleasure in stating that our county has been favored with a Superintendent well qualified for the discharge of the duties imposed upon him, and has given as general satisfaction, both to white and colored, as possibly any other agent in this or any other State; and, so long as it becomes necessary for us to have an agent, it is the expressed wish and will of the citizens of Bastrop county that Capt. Coggeshall be retained here.
