Line Ohicers to Respond-A List
of the Retired Officers in
This state.

There has been a good deal OF specula-
ton INDUCED in OF late by interested par
ties as to what will become Of the re-
tired officers OF the Virginia Volunteers
in case that war with SPAN should be
declared. The regulations OF the Virginia
Volunteers prescribe. that persons who
have served in the Volunteers for ten
years or more may at their request be
placed on The retired list. This gives them
The privilege OF retaining their ranks and
TO turn out with their respective COM
mands whenever they do so desire.
Other commissioned officers wno with
draw from the military service for one
reason or another before tho expiration
of that term or who fail 10 make an APP
plication 10 be placed on the retired list,
Simply return 10 private lite without re-
tanning their former ranks.
MAY GET LEFT
Some Of the rcurcd officers seem to be
very anxious TO Offer their services To the
stale. hut IL Is the consensus OF opinion
f1at they will not be called upon unless
the formation OF new companies pat'a-
lions and regiments should be ordered,
i'm which event they may secure FOR them
selves elections as line officers. IL - also
admitted that such officers as the AdJuJ-
ant General. Assistant Inspector General
tb4 Rraadier General and his si2il ON
Gers would have a very good opportunity
10 stay at home.
II is generally understood that ~ case
~ var virginia Will bo asked TO furnish
. certain number Of men from tho Viz
ri,ia Volunteers. which Of course would
moan only the military organizations now
An existence. The commanding oihcers
,+o,Id of course be selected from the re
eular army Should the number Le unit
I'D fo a regiment OF twelve hunlIeu' as
come people think. then It would De e%-
tremeIv doubtful. whether any OF lhe ueiu
ofscor. would be given an opportunity
80 Two hrt the lire officers OF the
connective commands would certainly nave
a chance TO accompany ther men
