bune correspondent at New Orleans:
NEW ORLEANS, Friday July 20, 1866.
I" For some time past the different Rebel
military organizations which existed during
the war have held both secret and public
meetings, and perfected a reorganization of
regiments, brigades, divisions and batteries
1t is claimed ostensibly for charitable pur-
