VIRGINIA TROOPS.

1t begins to look as though no troops
but those from Virginia would be mobi-
lized at Richmond. Private informa-
ton from Washington is to the effect
that the idea of sending troops to
Richmond from other states will he
abandoned and that the soldiers will be
concentrated at Washington and At
lanta. II this is done the Virginia
soldiers will be kept in Richmond only
long enough to be mustered into the
federal service. 1t is the confident ex-
pectation of the officers and men that
within FIVE days the three regiments
of Virginia troops will be encamped In
Richmond.
The regular army officers are at
Richmond ready to muster the troops
into federal service. They can do
nothing until tents and supplies are re-
ceiyed. Just what the trouble is can
not be learned. The War Department
has been promising to make provision
for the encampment, but no action ap-
pears to have been taken.
The surgeons will conduct the physi-
cal examinations OF the men, but 1t has
not been definitely decided whether
this will be done before or after the
State troops are turned over to the ma
tional government. After the men
have been passed upon by the regi=
mental surgeons they will be again ex-
amined by Major G. w. Adair, the
regular army surgeon, detailed for that
purpose.
Some of the company commanders
are uneasy lest many of their men be
thrown out on the physical examina.
ton. This will be very rigid, for both
officers ard men. No private, or non.
commissioned officer over 10 years Of
age will be accepted, and muster-in
officers are instructed to be very care
full in receiving commissioned men
who are above this age. Both officer RS
and men must be physically examined.
