coma virginia Regiment Will to-day re-
ceiVe orders to proceed to Tampa.
- colonel Baker had received no such or
d der at midnight last night but il seems
Y very probable that 1t will be here early
to-day.
Governor Tyler received telegram,
from secretary Alger last night, saying
'hat While he desired to respect the Gov
: erhor expressed wishes. it was regarded
as best for the regiment to be moved at
once Secretary Alger urged the Gov |
erhor to have the remaining Virginia !
regiments ready for muster at the earliest |
possible date, so that they could be |
moved to Tampa, where stores of |
every character had been accumulated |
ior thefn, and where arrangements for
their vaccination had been made. The
secretary asked the Governor TO wire
when the other two regiments would be
ready.
Governor Tyler telesraphed Secretary
anger that the Fourth Regiment had been
mustered in, and that the Third would be
to-day
| Whlle Governor Tyler is very desirous
OF having the men better equipped and
Vaccinated before being taken awav from
Richmond, he fully realizes that the de-
partment has plans with which he is NOT
| Iamlllar, which may render the early
movement OK the troops practically a |
necessity.
PROVIDE THEM WITH SHOES.
The Governor is very anxious thar Tho
men be supplied with shoes at least as
many OF them are so badly shod they cam
not march any distance. The Gov I
erhor yesterday ordered Colonel Coulling {
Oh MS stan to purchase shoes for so {
many of the men as were in urgent need {
ana number of pairs were ordered and y
VIII be distributed to-day. The Governor I
VIII pay Tor these supplies out of his 4
contingent fund, but expects to he re- a
lmDufsed by the United States Govern
ment. But whether he is repaid or not I
ne says he is determined the soldiers \
from Virginia shall not go to the front 7
barefooted. The shoes will be issued to I
some OF the men of nearly every COM K
pany. G
1t is not thought the troops can move br
before tomorrow, should marching or c
ders be received this morning. Prepara-
tons for their departure yesterday re-
CURED tWenty-four hours, and all these
must be made over again, as the cars ~
TO transport the regiment ard baggage
nave been removed, and rations. includ-
ing bread, will have to be prepared.
Changes I'm RegimentaI Officers. -,
Governor Tyler yesterday appointed 10
Adjutant-General Nalle colonel of the :,
Third Regiment, TO succeed Colonel "
Gaines. V;
Lieutenant-Colonel Henry C. Burrows ri
reached Richmond last night from his III
home, in Culpeper. There has been some 90
question raised as to whether Colonel m
Burrows will accompany his regiment =.
but he says he has volunteered I%.' %
m good faith, and is ready 10 ~, 20
go. His friends fear that his Pr
health may not be sufficiently robust to po
Idmit of his undergoing hard service, but % %
he examining surgeons will have to de- " ~
'ide as to this. Should Colonel Burrows po
'e advised to remain, and act upon the siu ,o
Idvice of the surgeon, Major Thomas s. w w
Keller viii almost certainly be made ,s s.,
and Captain Scruggs, ~
4 Company h Oynchburg Home Guard, pt,
he ranking captain in the regiment, will on
ecome major. Colonel Burrows is very g., -,
opular in the Third, and should he not 80 >
company the regiment there will be mo
eneral regret among officers and men, sio,
tut Major Keller and Captain Scruggs tho
re also very popular officers, and their cor
evation will be very agreeable TO their r
rother officers and the men Under them. cts
