INFANTRY TO cHIcKAMAUGA

By command of Governor Conner. orders were yesterday promulgated through the office of AdJutant General Bibb Graves which call for change in the forces of the Alabama National Guard that will go to Chickamauga Park, July 30, in that every arm Of the organization will be left behind except the three regiments of infantry.
 Special orders bearing date of July 27. directing the general staff corps, and the first brigade of infantry. A. N. G." to prepare for active service of the State from July 30 to August 8, inclusive. for instruction in military discipline and drili." were issued yes terday morning by the Adjutant Gem eral Shortly after this order followed one commanding the first field artillery battalion into the active service of the state. This meant that no artillery would go to ChickamaugR. but that on the contrary all the field batteries would do active service in the Birming- ham district beginning this morning.
 It meant, and Captain George H.. Todd. of Battery B., Montgomery, was so notified. that the local artillerymen would leave this morning early for Birmingham. There they will join the other men of the battalion in the pat rol of the region affected by the coal miners strike.
 Captain Todd and his men. who. he hopes, will be at least fifty strong. will be ready this morning at 1880 o'clock to depart for Birmingham with their new rifles and the one mountain gun that belongs in the local equip ment. On arrival in Birmingham they will be further subject to the orders of Major J. c. Smith, commanding the artillery battalion.
 Boiled down, the series of military orders that have just been issued from the office of the AdtutAnt General means that during the annual encamp- ment of the 1st. End and srd regiments of infantry in ~ChickAmauga Park. the extent of the forces left to protect men and property in the mineral region will be the squadron of cavalry troop A. c and D. and the field battalion of ar- tillery. composed of Batteries D, (Mont- gomery.) c. (selmal. and D, (Birming- han.) whether these men will be re- lieved at the end of the maneuvers at chickamauga by the infantry is not known but the supposition is that such will be the plan.
 Some Disappointment.
 While the local artillerymen were somewhat disappointed by the orders to move to Birmingham. having antici- pated the practices at Chickamauga, with good deal of pleasure. they were rsported fast night as being fully feconeifed. to their duties under tfa fresh orders. Guard duty on the hill- sides and in the mountain valleys of Jefferson County Is not, to Dc sure, so inviting as the hypothetical work laid out for the men going to Chickamauga, but orders are orders, and this time al least the summer practices have con- nicted with active service demanded by industrial conditions of the State.
 Tn f seeial orders No. 22. issued yes. terday, notice Is given that Brigadier General Louis V. Clark. on account of being on furlough. will not go to ChiciIamauga. but that Brigadier Gen. eraI Bibb Graves, the Adjutant General, Is ordered in command of the troops.
