VIRGINIA MILITIA.

As heretofore stated in the Gazette,
orders have been issued for the reor.
ganization OF the Virginia troops for
the first time since the Spanish war
Two regiments of II companies each
are to be formed. The regiments will
be numbered Seventy and Seventy-one.
The line officers OF the Seventeen will
meet in Richmond on October 10 to
elect field officers, and the line officers
of the Seventy-first will assemble in
Norfolk on the same date for similar
purpose. The reason for giving the
regiments higher numbers is to prevent
the confounding OF the history OF regi'
ments. There have been several regi'
ments of the same numbers ia Virginia.
Often it has happened that in referring
to the First Regiment one would not
know whether the writer meant the
organization that did service in the
civil war, or the one that afterwards
existed. Virginia had at least GA iDfan-
try regiments in the civil war. The
SEVENTEEN regiment will be composed
of companies as follows; Alexsndris,
/; Charlottesville, / Fredericksburg, l;
Lynchburg, L; Dsnville, L; Richmond,
5; Staunton, l; Farmville. /.
The Alexandria Light Iofantry is Co.
G. and is the first company in the regi-
ment,
The five companies from Richmond
do not include the two companies OF
Blues, which will form separate bat
tallioD, rs now.
The Seventy-frst regiment will COM
prise the following companies: Nor
olR, 3; Portsmouth, 2; Newport News,
2; Hampton, l.; Smith6eld, l; franklin,
l; Suffolk, l Emporia, l. ALI other
military companies in the State are left
detached.

its trusts, its foreign entanglements, s
love of imperialistic, and hate of repub-
