SHOULD HAVE EQUIPMENrs.
Colonel Jones Makes "A Strong Argument
In Favor OF His Regiment.

In Favor or His Regiment.
Colonel Jones, Of the First regiment, has
addressed another communication to Brigs-
der General Anderson with reference to the
lack of uniforms and equipments IN the
regiment. He refers 20 the contents OF a
letter written by the tant-9eneral on
the subject to General Anderson. and makes
the following statement:
The Adjutsnt: General states the proba-
bic cost of the articles. for which | made
requisition. will be $1,000. and comes to the
conclusion that the State Is not IN condi-
ton TO furnish them. II this IS true then.
the natural query arises. Is the State in
the condition 10 form new companies and
equip them 10 seems that 10 IS. Then
the natural deduction is that new compa-
MES are Of more importance 10 the yolun-
teer service than the maintaining OF those
already in the service and whose men are
well instructed. whose officers are men OF
experience: that raw troops are better than
disciplined men.
Colonel Jones concluded ibis letter by
saying that in his opinion no one would be
injured if his reQuisihon should DO hlied,
and that In accordance with the existing
facts If all the stores now in the state are
put IN service the ordnance fund would not
be lessened 10 any very great degree TO meet
all demands.
The men now in the First regiment should
either be armed end equipped or they should
be discharged, this question to DO decided
by the Governor.
At noon tomorrow about fifty men will
meet at Henrico courthouse preparatory TO
the sending in of an application tor the
organization OF a new cavalry troop for that
