Montgomery, Ala, April 5.-Adjt. Gen. Ligon returned from Mobile this morning where he went Friday to confer with other officials in reference to the formation of naval militia. Col Ligon said to reporter this afternoon that no regular naval batal- lion would be formed but that the Mobile military companies would be recruited to meet the statutory requirements with men who had some knowledge of naval : work
 These men will be put under command of an officer, who has graduated from the United States naval academy at Annapolis, and detailed for naval, instead of military work in case of an emergency. 1t Is req sonable to presume that men who nave been around coast town all their lives have some knowledge of manning boat, and the company of men that will be de- tailed for this work will patrol the coast should war be declared.
