tanned since that has been the regimen
tai number can now be allayed, as that
regiment is no more. General Hawkins,
by command of the Governor, on Janu-
ary 23d mustered out of the State service
the old 18th and transferred the COM
panies which composed it to the Sd |
Regiment, retaining the following off, |
GERS of the field and staff: Major, Eli

are honorably mustered out of the

known and designated rs the Sd Regi.

/ !. It will be seen from the above that
the Scott Dragons loose their former
Company number, "B," having by the
new organization been changed to "F'' ;
however this does not change their
regimental position. They still hold the
right, Capt. Mullenix being the ranking
J Captain. The Sd is the largest regiment
in the State, having now IL companies
The companies are scattered over good
deal OF territory, yet on six hours notice
can concentrate at regimental head
quarters, and from their central position
should there be any need for the services
of the militia, the new Sd will certainly
be called upon and the boys can demon
strate their valor.
