Col Harries lost no time in the execution
of that portion of the order looking to the
TRANSFORMATION of the regiment to Chicka-
mauga and its subsistence route. He
conferred with Quatermaster General Lue-
ington and Commissary General Eagan and
perfected the necessary arrangements for
the movement.
The War Department has contracted with
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the
transportation of the District regiment and
equipment from Falls Church. Va, to
Chickamauga at S1327 per capita, and
$l22. l3 for car for horses.
The regiment consists of $50 men all told.
including officers, troops. band and hos
pital force. There are Il companies each
of a men and 36 company officers.
The regimental officers include colonel
and staff of seven, three majors and three
adjutants.

Colonel Harries was astir early and came
to headquarters wearing the undress uni
form of q brigadier general when he went
to the War Department his shoulder straps
bore ths eagles of a colonel instead of the
stars of brigadier. The announcement that
the regiment would leave Saturday was very
gratifying to the officials at headquarters.
ard this sentiment cordially shared by
the officers and soldiers who yet remained
at Center Market armory. At headquarters
it was believed that the regiment would be
taken direct from Camp Harrles TO Chicka-
mauga. 1t was known that there has been
general disposition shown to have the

rons Of Sampson and Schley. The plan, he
thinks, will be to leave all of the monitors
around Havana, in the full confidence that
they can whip Cervera badly; to put a
squadron around Cienfuegos equal to the
Spaniard, and TO make UP another which
will pursue Cervera until he fights or runs
for Spain. Tne squadron which will do the
chasing will be made up of the fastest yes-
sells out Of the combined fleets Sooner or
later this squadron will encounter Ceryera.
The fact that 1t will not have to haul
around the slow monitors will add to it's
speed and effectiveness The squadron s
speed may not then be equal to the flying
qualities of the Spaniards, but 1T will uIti-
mately accomplish what it is sent out for.
The Oregon is expected to join SIMPSONS s

how on her way south, and 1t is thought
that the cruiser Columbia is heading sou.h.
With these additions to the ships in the
southern waters the opinion is that it will
be safe and easily possible to organize
three squadrons. each capable of defeating
the present Spanish fleet. Each of these
squadrons would have a number of smaller

THURSDAY, DEC. IS. 1898

In 1886 we were fortunate enough
to be present at the laying of the
corner stone of the Confederate
monument at Montgomery, Ala. The
beautiful city was thrown open to
visitors and it was one of the most
enjoyable dedications we ever wit
messed. The weather, too, was most
auspiciOus and had been for some
time, calm blue skies predominatrng
Hyacinths and other flowers had
sprung to life beneath the benign
influence OF the southern sun, and the
graceful water oaks already were
tinting the city with their early garb
of bright green. And SO even nature
assisted to make the city mole cheer
full, It was a great day for Mont
gomery, and her people took hold of
the occasion with earnestness and
devotion. Jefferson Davis and,other
notables were present and received
the honors due them from a southern
people. Aside from any bubble
about Jefferson Davis or his ideas,
time could not obliterate from the
Southern people that he was once
their leader and they hOnored him
accordingly. AS episode of the un-
Wellington the monument last week
was as follows; "The presentation
was made by Senator A. A. Wiley,

Thirteen young women, each the
