FIRST ALABAMA TO BE. MUSTERED OUT Representative Underwood Says That the
 Secretary of Var STATED THIS A WEEK AGO Mill Probably Not Take Place for Two OF
 Three Months. AFTER THE SPANISH ARMY HAS GONE Adjutant- General Corbin Wants First Alabama Retained-Mr. Underwood Will Work for Discharge ofthe
 Whole Regiment.
STATED THIS A WEEK AGO
AFTER THE SPANISH ARMY HAS GONE

Representative Oscar w. Underood, of ment that the First Alabama would be mustered out of the service without hav- ing to do police duty in Cuba.
 MT. Underwood returned from Washing ton yesterday at noon and said that Sec retary Alger told him that just about a week ago. Mr. Underwood was in the the discharge of several sick men in the regiment. MT. Alger in course of the con- versation said that the First Alabama was among those regiments that would be mus tered out and he took from his desk a pa per containing a long list of regiments which are to be discharged, to see that he was not mistaken.
 Win Return to Washington
 Mr. Underwood says that General Cor bin does not want the First to be mus tered out, because he thinks the general considers it too good a regiment
 Secretary Alger did not state when this would be done, but from other informa- tion MT. Underwood picked up around the departments most of Lees corps. includ- ing the First Alabama will be retained until after the Spanish army has entirely evac- uated the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico and have returned to Spain. The govern ment does not want to muster out all the available volunteer regiments while the Spaniards still have such a large force in those islands. From this it seems that the 1lo fop two or three months longer, so MT. Underwood says, for it will require about that length of time to send the Spaniards home.
 MT. Underwood had intended staying in Alabama for sometime, but on his arrival yesterday he found so many letters asking that he use his influence in getting certain soldiers, most of whom were sick, dis- charged from the army that he will return to Washington next week.
 He says that he intends doing all in his power to get the whole regiment mustered out as soon as possible, if the men really desire it. or if not the whole regiment, as many individual soldeirs as desire to re- turn home.
 'I don't believe in making these boys said he, many of whom have good posi- tions at home, go to Cuba to do peace duty. Let them come home if they want to-"
 MT. Underwood further states that Sec- retary Alger also told him that the Third Alabama would positively go to Cuba
 Phil FInch's Discharge
 MT. Uderwood brought with him the news that poor Phil Finch received his honorable discharge from the army just about the time of his death, but it was then too late. For a month or more he had been trying to secure it, and through MT. Underwood it was finally obtained.
 Among the other discharges obtained by MT Underwood are:
 Charles w. Grace, Company A, First Ala bama.
 John D. Latham, Company K, First Ala bama.
 P. W. Goock, Company M, First Ala bama.
 c. F. Hickman. Company F, Twentieth United States infantry. MT Hickman is a resident of Jefferson county.

A SKETCH
Of Albert Sidney Johnson, of the lst
 Alabama-By a Friend.

Albert Sidney Johnson, one of Birmfng hams young society gentlemen who is with the Alabama volunteers at Jacksonville came with the detail that accompanied the remains of their late comrade, Phil N. Finch.
 Albert Sidney in relating camp experi- ences while here always had interested audiences and he has in all truth and soberness'' developed into veritable hero. There are heroes and heroes. but the con- stituent element of his heroism lies in the fact that by the sheer force of his com tagious geniality under the most dispirlting conditions of camp ennui. he dispels the gloom and brings in the sunshine.
 He relates that the customary fare in the meat line is bacon, but that one occasion beef had been supplied them. The occasion was such momentous one that the entire brigade delegated him to ask the blessing. He, as he always is, equal to all emergen- cies, solmenly arose and said:
 o, steer. o, frai steer,
 What are you doing heref
 Because of your long abuse
 None equals this violent use. Amen
 
 in Florida that the fans grow on trees.
 He was detailed day to do clerical work. The officers of the day gave him an axe and put him to clearing ground
 In order to obtain some relaxation from the camp ennui, one of the volunteers one day started roulette wheel, and notwith- standing the officers closed it up within fifteen minutes, the operation won S740.16, and that if he had been permitted to con- tinue, by this time would have been able to loan the government money enough to pay off the war debt.
 He has organized seventeen secret socfe- ties, each with different foundation prfn- ciple and all with innimerabe degrees, the initiation fee beinS in each instance the victims pile
 They have Kangaroo courts and Moot courts'' galore, having tried everybody ex- cept General Miles and Secretary Alger for every crime imaginable.
 Mr. Johnson has returned to Jacksonville much to the qualification of innumerabie swains who looked with askance and a jealous eye on the bellies of Birmingham, ever ready to worship around hero's shrine, bestowed upon handsome Albert Sidney the attention he deserved.
 It is hoped that when he reaches the lonely camps in the everglades of Florida, that his own geniality will continue to be the fleas. mosquitos and aligators will all remember that he is universal some- body's darling and use him gently.

COTTON RECEIPTS

For Birmingham Were Slightly
 Over 100000 Bales.
LAST YEARS ONLY 85,000
In 1So2-o3 There Were Only 10000 Bales-Cotton Year Opened Tester day-Over Fifty Bales ot New
 Crop Already Received.

The cotton season for 1898 opened yester- day, and the cotton merchants, congresses and railroads are preparing to handle even larger amount of the heecy staple than passed through the city during the past twelve months.
 About fifty bales of the new crop have already been received and the receipts are growing larger each day. From the pres- ent outlook the receipts for the coming though the recent rains may have dam aged the crop to such an extent that this will not be the case
 Contrary to expectation Birminghams s cotton receipts for the season of 1s97-9S wepe not as great as were expected. There were in all little over 100000 bales brought into the city, while everybody has been expecting at least 10000 bales.
 Nearly every bale of cotton brought in the city passes through one of the two congresses The railroad compress ham, dled in actual numbers 77,S53 bales and the Birmingham compress in round numbers 22,O00 bales.
 There were several hundred bales sold to the local cotton factories, and several hundred more. probably, shipped out of the city without passing through the conn presses This will swell the receipts to something over 100000 bales.
 The receipts for 1S96-S7 were only S5,O0O bales, and in comparison with that season 1S97-9S has been remarkably good one.
 The receipts for the past six seasons are as follows:
