>fieii thC dIlSNcI Is received lTOlLl
Washington, the plans for the future
cannot be made and the fate of the 81
Regiment will remain unsolved. AS in
dividuals the members of the regiment
| may have chance to enlist in either
case, whether the Governors request
IS granted or not, but as an organiza-
ton there can be but one answer.
There was one great move toward the
getting of the battery in readiness for
service, Wednesday,, and that was
along in the line of equipping the men.
Though the Battery has been mus
| tered for a long time, the equipping
of the men has been exceedingly slow,
due to the trouble about making out
the acquisitions, and in closing up the
accounts OF the two companies that
compose the organization. When the
condemned property of the two COM
panleS was condemned, it was done as
one organization, and in consequence
there was much trouble in locating the
places where the property was to be
credited.
Then there has been a great deal Of
trouble experienced by the officers, in
making out the acquisitions for the va
rlouS equipments, and it was not until
w ednesday morning, that the proper
papers were filed with Adjutant Gen
eral Richards. who approved them and
sent them to Captain Mutt. who has
charge of the quartermaster's depart
ment at the camp.
| This department has not been idle
while waiting for the authorities TO call
for the equipments but have been get
ting together what they knew the Bat
terry would want, so it would not be
| very great task to issue those of the
/ equipments that they had time to is
| sue, on Wednesday afternoon.
| 1t was thought at one time that the
| Battery would be ready to start on
Friday, but now it looks doubtful
| Captain Crockett thinks though that
! he viii be able to start on Saturday.
| if he has orders to that effect
| Just as soon as his command is ready
to move, he will telegraph to the war
| department, and then he will have to
wait for orders to march.

Captain Crockett We're read on parade.
