That all first majors be deemed and respected as lieutenant-colonels and shall have the same relative rank as lieutenant-colonels which they now have as first majors, and the said lieutenant-colonels and first majors are hereby respectively appointed to said offices with such relative rank accordingly. "Resolved, That the adjutant-general forthwith cause a list or roster of the lieutenant-colonels and first majors embraced in the preceding resolutions, with the dates of their respective commissions, to be made out, certified and filed in the office of the secretary of state and that the secretary issue new commissions to them as colonels and lientenant-colonels respectively with rank from the dates of their present commissions according to the act of Congress passed 20th April, 1816."—STATE HISTORIAN.
