Col. Bakers Command Has Been Or
dered to Report Here.
COL. TAYLOR IS COMING HOME.
His Visit to Virginia is for the Purpose
Of Arranging His Affairs to Go With
Lees Army OF Occupation.
Richmond Has Three Com.
panies i'm the Second and
Two in the Fourth.

II looks very much as IL the Fourth
Regiment will be the only one from Vir-
ginia to accompany General Lee 10 Cuba
According to a telegram from Washing
ton. received last night. the Second Resi-
ment has been. or will be- ordered TO
Richmond for mastering out.
IL appears that while the Second is TO
come to Virginia, It possibly may be kept
in service until next spring
A dispatch from Jacksonville says Col
onel Taylor, Of the Fourth. is TO visit his
home and make arrangements TO co TO
cuba. So. It seems. there is no doubt
about his command being part OF Gen
eral Lees 5 army OF occupation.
Should the Second be mustered OUT COL
oneI Baker, his officers and many OF MS
men will be sorely disappointed Withm
the last week Colonel Baker telegraphed
Governor Tyler asking that MS regiment
be designated to go 10 CUBA.
The Fourth Virginia and the TWO cor
ored battaIions are 10 remain IN the se'-
vice until further orders

requested Hon. Jacob Yost. member OF

In reply TO this request the applicant
received a telegram from Mr fost this

unnecessary as the order for the muster
