Some little time since an order was issued
to the First regiment 10 increase the COM
panies 10 100 men each. The commandants
OF companies have started 70 work in earnest
10 accomplish this result. The regiment now
mas eighty-sevon more men IN u than at the
last Inspection. Fifty three Of these men
cannot be paraded because the state author-
ties VIA not supply the accoutrements Deces-
sary although application has been made 70
them 20 supply this want. The men OF the
regiment don't understand why il IS that they
cannot get sufficient accOutrement5 for re-
cruiis. The only thing the officers seem 70
know is that they are not finished. The regi-
ment Is very much IN need OF uniforms. the
cloth IN the quartermaster department
being about exhausted. Notwithstanding
there has been bought IN the last ninety days
sl.2l0 worth OF uniforms.
Below is list of the recruits for the past ten

Captain ID. A. Kuyk. surgeons, on last Mon
day during the unyeiiing did some very good
work, and demonstrated fully the foresight Of
these officers 10 training this corps for emer-
gency work. They treated and transported
twenty men belonging TO the various com
mands ia line. Tho method of work IL taking
charge and caring for the patient Is
rs follows. When case or sickness or
injury Is reported four OF the corps which
constitutes q litter squad are detailed TO take
charge Of the patient and bring HIM TO the
hospital. where he receives such treatment As

70 restore the patient sufficiently for him TO
take care OF himself they order him 70 be
taken home in the ambulance. which was the
case IN several instances last Monday.

lures delivered esch week. These lectures

treatment especially. The corps now num-
bers twentv-fOur men. and will be increased
TO thirty-twO members. The instruction
gwen the members OF this corps Is not only

CAVALRY MATTERS.
Papers have been sent to Charlottesville for
the formal organization OF the Albemarle
Troop. it having the requisite number OF men
necessary Tor that proceeding.
Information has been asked from Freder-
ickslurg relative 20 the formation oil "a troop
OF cavalry in that city. After the formation
of the above two troops there will be but one
vacancy lett in the cavalry force under
the present laws OF the State. In or
der 70 make the cavalry formation
accord with the new drill regulations there
should be twelve troops 10 make the regiment
complete. At the meeting OF the next Gen
eral Assembly q bill will be offered asking
that the'present State law be changed 80 as TO
conform with the 'nited States army regu-
lations. II this is granted the regiment Will
be divided into three squadrOns OK three
troops each. This arrangement Will be "
great advantage 20 the command, which VIII

having their respective rendezvous conye-
nient % the localities IN which these squad
rOns are located
WITNESSING MOTIFS.
The Howitzers will have their annual pic
mic at Ashland Park tomorrow. They expect
20 carry about seyenty-tlye men besides the
Association. and GOOD time may ue eApecIcu
by all who attend. This company, under the
supervision Of their able commander, Captain
John A. Hutchinson. has risen 10 enyious
eminence in the military world. and to-day
stand seconds to no company in the State.
The cavalry made splendid appearance on
Monday. IL was the debut by-tbe-way. for
the Ashby Light Horse, Captain Edgerton ,.
Rogers commanding. and in the charge up
Franklin street they rode with the freedom
and ease Of Cossacks. Colonel G, Percy
Hawes should be proud Of such an admirable
command.
The trim 10 Roanoke is a matter Of discus
sion with the soldier bows. IL has not yet
been decided whether the First regiment
will 90.
