NIREyNTi'S OF OTA.

1t IS now understood that the Virginia
Volunteers, L. S. A., will be assembled
here on Tuesday next. at old Camp Lee
otherwise known as the Exposition
Grounds. Our quota has been ready Tor
some time The delay has been on ac-
count of the General Governments fail
ing 20 furnish the necessary camp equip
age.
OF the thirty-six companies, or three
regiments, that our State is required TO
furnish, Richmond will SEM SIX
companies. our men have all UNDER
gone thorough physical examination,
and we believe, few of them will be re-
iected. by the United States medical eX-
aminers. We trust that like fore
thought has been exercised by the COM
manders of all the other companies. but
we much fear that it has not been. Ii
so. scores of men will come to Richmond
I'm uniform only TO be rejected by the
army surgeons.
Officers and men alike must stand the
physical test, but we learn that some
small concessions have been made latey
which make il a trihe easier for the
average man TO pass.
1t Is the sincere desire of the Virginia
soldiers TO be brigaded together. We
have three regiments Of infantry
enough to enttle us to be organized INTO
a brigade, and our choice for command
er is Acknowledgement Male. He is
graduate Of the Virginia Military lnstl-
tute, and has given many, many years
10 the militia service. II was not until a
few months ago that he was called TO his
present post; previously his services were
entirely gratuitous. and were rendered
then, as now, in an unseliish desire to
promote the good of the Commonwealth
and Of her volunteer soldiers There are
a number of brigadiers yet TO be appoint
"a. and the President will make mis-
take If he does not show by his selec-
lions that competent volunteer officers
are not TO be altogether ignored.

THE LAFAYETTE INCIDENT.

we see no occasion for our people 10
apnrehend trouble with France over our
CAPTURE Of the steamship Lafayette.
While it seems pretty clear that the
first statement of the case which reached
the public must have been erroneous. and
that we made a mistake in treating the
ship as a prize We have taken prompt
measures to remedy the mistake. The
Lafayette has been ordered to be re-
leased and to be escorted to Habana.
Mistakes by belligerents in time of war
as against neutrals are by no means I'M
known. and there is a tribunal of inter-
national law and precedent for the set
Element OF all issues growing out of such
unfortunate occurrences.
IL France is not satisfied with the
steps We have already taken in the di-
rection of repairing our error it is due
10 ourselves as well as to her that we
should make such further amende as the
tribunal referred to may adjudge her
norton. In short IT will be our duty to
do to her as We, as proud nation, would
be done by.
