The Centennial Legion.

The project of a Centennial legion
was first preached in Boston last June
by the Washington Light Infantry, of
Charleston, S. c., and the Old Guard,
of New Y ork, and has since been taken
up with enthusiasm, and now all doubts
of its being in every way complete
success are removed. The legion
will be composed of thirteen
companies, one from each Of
the original thirteen States, the COM
panies to be selected from the oldest
militia organizations in the different
States. There will be ten companies of
infantry, two of cavalry, and me Of ar
tillery The field and staff officers for
the legion will be elected by the officers
of the different companies, and it is
proposed that they shall wear the old
Continental uniform. Each company,
of course, will wear it's own distinctive
uniform, and the contrast between the
brilliant and elegant costumes will be
very effective. At the latest advices
the organizations composing the legion
are as follows: The Old Guard of New
York; the Phil Kearney Guard Com
pany G, Third Regiment), of New
Jersey; the State Fencibles, of Pennsyl-
vania; the American Rifle, of Delaware;
the Boston Light Infantry, of Massa-
chusetts; the Providence Light Infantry,
of Rhode Island; the New Haven Grays,
of Connecticut; the Norfolk Artillery
Blues, of Virginia; Company I, Fifth
Regiment, of Maryland; the Fayette-
vile Independent Light Infantry, of
North Carolina; the Washington
Light Infantry, Of Charleston, South
Carolina, and the Clinch Rifles, of
Georgia. This makes all the original
thirteen states represented, ex-
cept New Hampshire. The Amos
keag Veterans may come from the
Granite State. The famous Eutaw flag
owned by the Washington Light Infan
try and the national standard will be
the colors of the legion. The organiza
tions will rendezvous in Philadelphia
July second.
