IA to 21.
 The companies will proceed to New Haven by special train and board the transports at that city. All the de- tails for the Connecticut National guard have been arranged by Adult ant General George M.

 In a general way the problem which the 15,00O odd rnilitiamen will be call ed upon to work out is the capture of the country by the regiments from this section and it's defense by the men from Massachusetts. The dis puted ground is roughly of quadrang- ular shape, outlined by the cities of Boston, Taunton, New Bedford and Plymouth. Any place in this part of the state will be open to the invading forces as a landing place. It is as- stunned that they will take advantage of their enemy by selecting the most unexpected point of attack, but just what spot that will be will depend upon the invading commanders opin- ion of the way in which the defense is

What regiments From New York it has about been decided that the Twenty-second, the Fourteenth and Seventh will form the brigade. It is also probable that some New York light artillery batteries will go along.

Gen. Wood said that these umpires wouldn't be picked -un- til the last minute, but they would represented by the. fighters.

 The defense will total about 1000 men selected from the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth regiments of in fantry, three troops of cavalry from Boston and the three troops of field artillery from Boston, Worcester and Lawrence. The coast artillery of Massachusetts will contribute twenty companies to the defense.
