We must say a good word for Major Thacher, of the 9th Kansas, who has just relinquished the command at Westport, where he has been stationed most of the time since Gen. Ewing assumed command of the District of the Border. He has proved himself a faithful, discreet and brave officer, securing the approval of the people among whom he was located and the confidence and respect of his brother officers. We are sorry to lose him from the border. The Major is a brother of Judge Thacher, of the 4th Judicial district, Kansas.
