A MILITARY CoMpANY-Gov. Wilt is
extremely DESTROYS that Baton Rouge,
soon to be the residence of the State
officials and the seat of Government,
should organize one or more military
companies, which he states are necessary
at the State Capital. Our citizens should
recognize the responsibilities incumbent
on them by the removal, and accept its
duties. Will not our young men reor-
ganize the Zouaves, at least: Baton
Ronseans must come up to the scratch.
The old fosy, do-nothing attitude must
be fOrsaken.
