cato Troops. who will be the mastering
-af,er is expected to reach Savannah to-
day.
rant Edward A. Leonard expects to
.,,s nearly sixty men mustered in with
che new company. He has been very sue
..ssfu1 in his effort to get together a
.trorg company, and his brother officers
IVA commendlng him for the activity he
has displayed.
The muster in will take place at the
CHARTERS of the Irish Jasper Greens, and
+ is probable that there will be NUM-
her of the officers of other commands in
attendance. as the process of muster in
- .be state service is not familiar to
+bem and they would like to know just
how Fl is done Many of them were mus
.orad in when the forces were organized
for tine war with Spain, but it was into
the service of the government, and not
that Of the state.
Col Obear will leave tomorrow for
susinsboro, where he is to muster in the
company that has just been organized at
thai place. He is to be accompanied by
col r. S Wylly Jr., commanding the
First Infantry, and Capt. w. E. Coney,
IFS ajiutant. The Swainsboro company,
like the Emmett Rifles. is to form part
of the First Infantry, and Col. Wyly and
Cant. Coney decided it would be well for
them to visit that place and make the ac-
ouaintance Of the officers and men.
Not VET it is understood, have the Off
GERS for the Swainsboro Company been
elected. No name has been agreed upon
either from accounts, though there was
a report that the command had been dub
bed the SwainsbOro Guards. Mr.. c. II
Thompson may he made captain of the
company. as he was most active in It's
oreanization The members of Company
3 of the Second Georgia during the war
with Spain. will remember Mr.. Thompson,
a. he belonged to that command.
No successor to Quartermaster Sergeant
Chris II p Murphy, who was elected
and declined the first leutenancy of the
Emmet Rifles, has been settled upon. Al
an early meeting of the line officers of the
Fuet Infantry, a nomination will proba-
bly, be made Commssary Sergeant A
c. Common has been elected second lieu
tenant of the company, and it is quite
possible that he may be advanced to the
first heutenancy, as he is regarded as
eminently qualified to fill such position
In that event it would be necessary to
elect a second lieutenant to succeed him
1t is said the committee charged with
the nominations, has a number of names
under consideration
The roll of the prospective company that
is TO be organized at Syivania, under the
cIptaincy of Capt Jesse Wade, will be
sent to the adjutant general to-day or
tomorrow. 1t has been awaiting the
Signature of Col. Wylly, who has been out
of the city. 1t is believed the company
will be accepted by the Governor. There
VIII then remain but the prospective
company at Mt. Vernon to be organized
and attached TO the First Infantry for
me regiment to be again complete with
'NeiVe companies, the loss of the Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards. transferred to
neS'y artillery being thereby made up.
