 sin of Birmingham, assigned as ord nance officer of the regiment, will serve in a similar capacity for the sol diers who are to be mobilized in Bir- mingham.
 General Brandon. who is to command the regiment. will probably travel to Virginia with the companies that are to be concentrated in Montgomery. He and his stan will have a special car. The companies will not spend more than two days In Montgomery and Birmingham.

 the 1st infantry would be given pref
 erence, that regiment only being repre- sented by three companies thus far. Each company must carry sixty men and each one of the men must be en- listed in the Alabama National Guard. This will necessitate some companies
 borrowing" men from other com panies.
