REORGANIZATION or THE ANCIENT VotuErgEa
COMPANIES. The old g Louisiana Legion'' has, as 3
we learn from our neigibor, TIE Picaynne, felt the
lniaence OF the prevailing warEike feelings and is
fast feorganzing. The Cliasssurs of Lieut.
Honidobre, commanding, the Yagers No. I. Cant,
Peters and the Lafayette Company No. B,
Capt Reihmer, have formed themselves into q Bat
| TALON of Light Infantry.
They held meeting Wednesday night ana
elected by unanimous vote, Capt. Ghas Al Jan
vier, Of the Legion staE, Major Of tie new bat
TALON. This is an excellent selection. Major Jan
vfer is good soldier and possessed of that degree
Of enthusiasm and frEnness necessary to establish
and maintain on firm basis the corps he has bsen
called upon to commahd. 8
The Chasseurs Of I8IA-'I5, az shown E,y their
name, are the Oldest volunteer company exating in
New Orleans, having been formed by Cen. Jackson
during the last war with Great Britain. The
original founders, in great part are no more, but
! though the msn have changed, as generation sue
ceeded generation, the old company was meyer
dissolved, and the new memberaear preserved
the traditions Of the past This company u no,g in
a fair way Of reorganization, counting some so
members. The Yagers and Lafayette company
are old companies of the Legion, composed prin-
| cipaliy of Germans; they have always ranked
among the best Of our volunteer troops.
In the Orleans Artillery, the two companies Of
Light Foot Rifles, and in fact, in all the companies
comprising the two Brigades of the Ist Division
Louisiana Militia, we note the same favorable
signs.
