1t. has been decided to consolidate
the two regiments, which jointly in
clude one thousand men, and to admit
about 200 recruits to make up the full
regiment of twelve hundred
1t is understood that the new COM
panies organized within the last week
will not be recognized, and the regi-
ment will not be filled out until the
troops arrive at the rendezvous at
Kanawha City
The consolidation of the two regi-
ments will necessitate the reducing of
the rank Of the present officers. and it
is said that all of the officers of the
National Guard have agreed to this ex-
cept Colonel Banks, Of the Second regi-
ment
General Spillman will be made col
onel of the regiment, and Col G. L.
Smith will be lieutenant colonel. The
majors will be made captains and the
junior captains made lieutenants
1t appears that the misunderstand-
ing between the Governor and General
Spillman and subordinates was caused
by the orders of Adjutant Appleton,
Who it is said, gave orders to General
Spillman to recruit the regiments with
out consulting the Governor, who is
commander in chief
1t has all been satisfactorily ex-
planned, however, and everything will
move along tremendously.
