onel of the First Kentucky regiment

accept the resignation and would not
fill the Office by appointment, but

GERS of the regiment held meeting
in a. downtown Office SATURDAY. night
and decided upon Col. w. b. Halde-'
man, editor of the Times, as the man
to reVrsanize the regiment.
1t was the almost unanimous op-
lnion of the officers that the regiment
in its present shape has degenerated
until it is unfit for any actual service
and that it must be completely reor-
ganized. Among those at the meeting
were eight of the ten captains of the
regiment and their lieutenants, the
old officers who resigned last June
and the old battery officers.
Mr.. Hindman, who was Confed-
crate soldier, was unanimously de-
oided upon as the man who can unite
al factions, restore harmony in the
regiment and reorganize it upon a
sound basis.
