Col. Garrard Gone to Atlanta to OPP
pose Dropping Of Two Companies.
1t is possible that the four companies
of the Savannah Volunteer Guards may
not go to the war as at present organized.
Despite the fact of Col. Garrard having
received message. from the office of the
adjutant general.in acceptance of the ten
der of the services of the battalion the
report comes that the four companies will
not be accepted; chat they viii be reor-
ganibed INTO two, and that the other two
companies of the Battalion will be made
up of men from the country who desire to
volunteer
Col. Garrard left for Atlanta last night
to consider this report. 1t is likely chat
he will enter a vigorous protest, as the
services of the battalion have been accept
ed. The tender was made as a battalion,
and it is possible the Guards will cecon-
slider unless a reconsideration of the plan
is held by those in authority.
There is not a command in the city that
is more attached to it's officers than the
Guards, and they would resist to the ut
most any effort to displace any of them
or to run the four companies into two.
A meeting of Company "A of the Guards
will be held at It's quarters tonight. II

place, the men who volunteered to go to
the war with the battalion choosing those
who win be presented TO the Governor as
the officers they desire TO command them.
Some news from Col Garrard may be re-
iceived during the day that will have some
effect upon the meeting.
The companies of the battalion will have
their regular meetings Monday night. A
special meeting of Company D has been
announced for that time. The Guards
think they will have no difficulty in run
ming the number of men in each company
up to the minimum number, at least, that
is required. While there are two of the
companies that have not yet received the
thrty-two volunteers required from among
the men already members, the position is
