The REGrMESr OF. PLANTERS LIFE GuARD.-We
pleased to learn that the Regiment Of Planters
Life Guard, which has for sometime past been in
course of organization for Confederate service by
Colonel DeVeuve, is now rapidly approaching
completion, and it is expected will be ready for
service in a very short time. When it is under
stood that Col Deyeuve has not only had to en-
list the men, but to provide them arms, subsistence
and equipment, those who have wondered at the
slow progress made by him will wonder no longer.
Thanks TO liberal aid from planters and merchants,
the Colonel has now, we learn ample means at his
command to supply every want, and has also arms
enough to furnish the men az rapidly as they are
mustered into service. His are all tirstclass,
as those companies Of the Beauregard Regiment,
which borrowed some from him on Wednesday
last, certify, and we sure, in the hands OF
snch men as Col DeVeuve has in his command,
will be made to do good service. Success to him
and his regiment! '...
