| NEW ORGANIZATION
We hear Of new plans Of organization here one OF
which has the laudable design of saving Uncle Sans
pocket; but it is likely to be productive otherwise of
considerable trouble The plan is compose the bril-
gadss of troops from the State and divisions of
the same. All regiments not numbering five hundred
men, electives, to be consolidated into full regi.
ments and the officers appointed. It is calculated that
this would many hundreds OF thousand dollars to
the government but would pay for the trouble
which it would occasion There would be, Of course,
thirty dissatisfied officers for every regiment under
| five hundred men, and they would produce almost mu
tiny among their men. 1t is not supposed the plan will
| go into operation, At this time at least.
