Exception was taken yesterday by
Colonel r. f. Goodwin. of Emporia,
commanding the Fourth Regiment. Vir-
s!nia Volunteers. to the published
statement that the First and Second
Regiments had been called upon for
Mexican service rather than the Fourth
Regiment because their companies
were better prepared TO take the field
on short notice"
Tho Second and First Regiments
were selected for service instead of
the Fourth strictly on account Of
seniority and not on basis of eff
cheney" said Colonel GOODWIN. The
Fourth is the Junior regiment Its
companies are as we'll prepared to take
the field on short notice as either of
the other regiments, as reports at the
AdjutantGenerars Office will show"
The War Department did not call on
Virginia for its full militia strength,
but asked for two regiments Of in
fantry and certain artillery, with the
signal and hospital corps. The First
and Second Regiments were desig-
mated by the Acknowledgement to
answer the first call. and it was stated
that this was not in any way in

mated for service at this time.
