Governor Tyler received from the
board of Directors of the Board of
Trade and Business Mems Assnci-
alton of Norfolk to-day u copy of a let
ter sent to the Secretary of War, ask
ing that when the Fourth Virginia reg
lment is brought home for muster out
1t be brought to Norfolk. 1t is point
ed out that 900 of the 1900 men in the
regiment are from Norfolk, and the
second Congressional District, While
only two companies are from Rich
mond. 1t Is pointed out that 300 of
the men are from Norfolk, 100 from
Portsmouth. 200 from Suffolk 100 from
Franklin, 100 from Newport News. and
100 from Hampton. Governor Tyler re-

reasonable one, but that he thought IL
very probable the regiment would not
be mustered out In Virginia. The
Fourth has been ordered into the in
terror OF Cuba, or will be shortly. SO
1t is not likely it Will be mustered out
soon.
