showing that most of these Organiza-

them entirely, and that only some
slight preliminaries remain to be exc
cuted to render them full-fedged mem
bers of the United States army.
In Mississippi, South Carolina, Ala
bama and Georgia, however. great de-
lay is being experienced in filing up the
regiments under the last call In some
cases recruits are being secured out
side of the states The 3rd Mississippi
is understood to be taking men from
New Orleans and Alabama and the col
ored regiment has the promise OF sew
eraI companies from Florida. The
Florida negroes, however, according to
last reDorts. were about to back out of
this arrangement on the ground that
thev believed the governor of Ala bama,
after accepting their aid in filing the
regiment intended to place white Off
GERS in command instead of their own
officers. South Carolina and Mississippi
are the only two states in the union
that have no troops ordered to the
front in this war.
