Of many citizens that organization Of militia
companies by wards would be more con
vcnicn+, and more easily accomplished

law and organizing companies is pretty
general. We are glad to note this rcadi-

ming. We are info, med, however, that the
organization was only temporary, and
permanent organization will shortly be
made. A company was formed in the 9Th
ward last evening. f. L. Frazer, Captain;
