f. O. Kooser, Esq, has had much to de
with the success OF organizing the first
company i'm this county and has been IN
tiring i'm his efforts in this direction. he
richly deserves the Captaincy, which. il
is said, has already been rendered him
by Governor Hastings When seen by n
HERALD reporter, Captain KOoser said
that he had not yet received his COM
mission, although he had been advised
that it had been made out and signed by
the Governor.
The mastering officer. Lieutenant
Howe, viii reach here during the week.
and it is expected that company of lO6
men will have volunteered and stand
ready TO be sworn into the service of
Uncle Sam.
Il will be noticed that in the list given
above the names Of number Of the best
known young men of the county appear,
men who will strive tn discharge their
duty bravely and heroicslly. Several of
the men who passed the examination are
married and have families.
Captain Taylor is anxious to recruit the
company up to one hundred and twenty
men to-day, if possible, and says that as
soon as that number has been secured
they viii at once be sworn into the ser
vice of the Government and six hours
later will be on their way to Chiekamau-
ga, Ga. 1t is probable that the required
number of men will not be secured to-
day. and the Captain has requested the
HERALD to state that twenty five addi-
tioual men will be accepted if they report
