a telegram from Colonel William Male
commanding the Third Virginia Regi-
raL received last night by Major D. c.
-1ks who has been detailed to act as
Urrjermaster to the regiment when
brought here for muster-out stated that
t. command would reach Richmond
from Camp Alger AZ 8 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Tho regiment will be transported in
frg-three cars over the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway. 1t will be quartered in
t various armories. and these buildings
win De taxed 20 their utmost 70 accom-
r.t1te them.
J.. is desired that the Third be brought
bore and nTloughed home before the Sc
c.-i arrives. as IL viii not be possible 70
house the two regiments in the armories.
TO FURNISH THE ARMORIEs.
The city controls the armOries Of the
First Reeiment, the cavalry, and the
Richmond Howitzers, and a special meet
..s OF the Grounds and Building Commit
t.e of the Council will be held at 10
o'clock this morning for the purpose of

us. 81 these buildings There is no doubt
la. That they viii be used for the Purpose
desired
l SIS not yet known whether the men
r ua fed by contract, as was done when
H. troops were modified at Camp Lee
- spring, or whether they will be given |
.ally ration Communication. Major ShanKs !
is authorized 10 adopt either method.
IL will require several days TO give the |
men their furloughs. and get them started
home, but IL is thought this work will |
have been pretty well completed by Sat |
urIay night
MAY PAY THEIR EXPENSES.
The men will have TO pay their travel |
ling expenses each way between their |
homes ana Richmond. This is I'm accord |
...e with army regulations, but as the |
..-ideut has authority 10 change these |
.r any time. it is thought not entirely I'M
probable that he may decide TO allow the
.a.l to receive travel Communication. 1t is
drought the real reason of the depart
a.uts not ordering the men mustered
u.t vi the service upon their arrival here !
tH allow them another months pay,
'.f iu great many cases this sum Will
.. more than consumed by travelling eX-
usa
Tho Second Regiment is not oxpectedl
. arrive here before the middle Of next
E. probably; certainly not before the
.ii shall have been sent home, as it
".- Do impossible to accommodate the
iHJ regiments at once.
ID s thought the Governor may come
8. Richmond to-day or tomorrow. He
".. present the regiment with a hand
some state flag as a mark of his appce- |
...l9n, and the ceremony will probably |
i..e place before the men are sent home !
Oh leir Through.
THEY WANT TO COME HOME.

usually heavy, and the majority of the |

t.-a Regiment, who do not want TO so
