Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-09-25

The flag will be presented to the regi-
ment some time during the second week
in October. The date Of the presentation
cannot be definitely fixed, owing TO he
absence OF Governor Tyler, but the colors
cannot be presented to the regiment until
the men return to Richmond on the ex-
piration Of their furloughs, October sth.
When this flag shall have been pre-
sented to the Third the Second will be
the only Virginia regiment that has not
State colors, the Fourth having received
national and State emblems from tho
ladies of Richmond. Norfolk, and other
cities which furnished Fourth Regiment
companies.
AS TO THE FUTURE.
1t Is not known where the flag will be
kept as 1t Is understood no attempt Will
be made TO maintain the present organi-
zation Of the Third Regiment. Many OF
the companies In the Third have signined
a desire To re-enter the service OF Vir-
ginia, but IL is thought these VIII he rs
signed to the regiments in which they
were before being assigned TO the Third,
AT the outbreak OF the war
Many Of the companies OF the Second
Regiment, probably all OF them, viii re-
tain their present organization. num-
Der of them have already sigmhed tfeir
intention of doing so, and 'egimental
officer saws he believes all Of them will
do so. Ii is believed that Captain Rus
sell. OF Company b, Second Regiment, the
old Walker Light Guard, was the nrsr
company commandant 20 inform the Gov
ernor OF the desire of his mon to re-enter
the service OF Virginia. There Is no doubt
of their being permitted 10 do so.
While plans for the reorganization OF
the state military have not been rerfect-
ed yet II Is generally believed that all

the service will be allowed 10 do So The
