Hannibal Journal April 8, 1847
A Hero Rewarded. -- The Cincinnati Commercial says:

"Corporal O'Sullivan, at the City Hotel, received on Wednesday his commission 
as Lieutenant in the 3d regiment of infantry.  Corporal O'Sullivan on the 
memorable 9th of May, captured Marengo, Gen. La Vega's Aide-de-Camp receiving 
six sabre-cuts in the face for his victory.  At the same battle a ball skimmed 
his cheek-bone.  He delivered up his prisoner to an officer, then went back 
with six men and captured from the enemy a field piece.

Additional Comments:
