THE.FIRST 'i AND THIRD £ REGIMENTS ARE TO BE MUS TERID OUT Os SERVICE The War Department Announces That Only the Second Regiment Will Remain In the Service- < * <' t • :<_ Atlanta, Ga , Sept. 9 —The follow ing telegram from Governor Atkinson, who it in Washington, reached the executive office just before noon to day: / ••W. G. Obear, Acting Adj. Gen.: The war department decides to muster out the First and Third regiments, the First to be mustered out at Macon, Savannah and Albany. AU wishing to remain in service will be transferred to the SeoonJ, and a like number Wishing to retire will be discharged from the Second. "W. Y. Atedtbon, Governor." ; This retains in the service the Sec ond regiment of Georgia volnnteers, commanded by Colonel Oscar Brown. Thia news will come like a clap of thunder to the officers and men of tbe Third regiment, now at Griffin, who were preparing to board trains for Jacksonville, where they expected to join the corps which is to become an army of occupation. Governor Atkinson s trip to Wash ington was known only to a few per sons until this morning. He left the city on Wednesday night and yester day it was stated at ttje, executive office that he was opt of the city, but his whereabouts was not then made known. This morning ae inquiry elicited the information that the gov ernor was in Washington, and it was understood that his business there had something to do with the muster ing out of the Georgia troops. About an hour later Major F. E. Calloway, the governor’s private sec retary, gave out the contents of the above telegram. It is understood that the governor went to Washington to insist on the adoption pl his recommendation that the three Georgia regiments be con solidated, allowing those to retire who desired to do so and placing the others in one regiment. Hie idea was that men who enlisted * at a personal sacrifice because they thought their country needed them, should be allowed to go to their homes and business, now that the war is over, and there are more soldiers than the government has use for. The Note Was Paid. Here’s another story about Presi dent Lincoln, the truth* of which was vouched for by the late Col. Jesse W. Jackson, says the New York Sun. One afternoon Mr. Lincoln was walking leisurely through Lafayette Square, when he noticed a young man who was using sulphurous language io a manner calculated to alarm the na tives. Mr. Lincoln stopped the young mao and asked what the trouble was. Not knowing Mr. Lincoln, the young fellow said that blankety-blank clerk in tbo treasury department had had him trotting there for months to collect a small note and ho couldn’t get a blankety-blank cent out of him. “That is pretty bad," said Mr. Lie*, coin, "but I’ll tall you wbst I will do. If you will promise me to give up us ing profane words I will guarantee to collect the note for you." After a little further talk the propo sition was agreed to, The young man produced the note and banded it to Mr. Lincoln, who wrote on the back, “A. Lincoln." When it was given to the collector and bis eyes fell on the name ho unconsciously mumbled: "Well, I'll be damned," then quickly apologized to the President, who shook his band, cautioned him to remember the compact and resumed bis after noon stroll. It io needless to say that the note was promptly liquidated when next presented. Yellow Jaundice Cured- Suffering humanity should be sup plied with every means possible for its relief.

Spain emerges from the war with a fleet wbfob on paper at least is a re spectable one, but this is merely be- ’ cause her ships were unready at tbe , outset of tbe struggle, and unable to take their place in line beside Cervera and Montejo. As it stands today the , Spanish fleet is the seventh in Europe, coming after the British, French, Russian, German, Italian and Aus trian fleets. It now includes the battleship Pss layo, which is a fairly good and mod ern ship, the armored cruiser Carlos V, and three armored cruisers of tbe Vizcaya type. These last are all un finished. There are two old iron clads, the Vitoria and Numancia. The protected cruiser squadron is 1 represented by the Alfonso XIII, , Lepanto and Diode la Plata, but of : these the first two are badly designed, ' and unable to go to sea without great , alterations. Cf torpedo gunboats there are elev- ' en, of destroyers four, and of large i torpedo boats twelve, to say nothing i of a submarine boat. Os older vessels, which are for all ! practical purpoaesof no fighting value, ' there are a host; two old wooden cruisers, similar to the Castilla, which were burned at Manila, bead the list, and a large number of email gunboats, hitherto employed on tbe Coban and Philippine coast line, bring it to a conclusion. Spain has cruiser of the Cristobal Colon type building in Italy. It was to have been delivered this year, but with tbe bad luck which waits upon Spain was not completed when the war began. Practically all Spain’s large ships which were ready to go to sea at tbe beginning of tbe war have been cap tured or destroyed. Santiago has ac counted for seven vessels, Manila for ten, and about as many more small craft have been wiped off her list in tbo minor actions of tbe If tbe whole Spanish navy were collected and dispatched into Ameri can waters, it would be greatly out matched by tbe fleets of Argintina or Chile, To such depths of humiliation has Spain, tbe oldtime mistreos of the sea, failed.—London Daily Mail.

The Battleship Texas Will Be Beat It Manila - Washington, Sept. 9.—Tbe navy department is contemplating sending the battleship Texss to tbe Philip pines, where she will be used as. Ad miral Dewey’s flagship. No orders have bean issued for tbe lowa and Oregon, but it was said that they wouW not go to Manila or the Pacific coast, but on a mission of which it would not bepolitio to speak at this time. The naval board of construction to day agreed to recommend that cons tracts for tbo construction of the three battleships authorized at the last ses sion of congress be awarded one each to tbe Cramps, of Philadelphia, the Union Iron Works, of San Francisco, and tbe Newport News Company. Tbe speed requirements will exceed eighteen knots and the plans have been drawn Up for what tbe construc tion bureau believes will be ideal fighting ships. Stirred Old Memories. Gen. Dave Cook tells a story of tbo early days in Denver that serves to illustrate the fact that there was occa sionally a hot time in the new town. It appears that there was an old timer from Montana who came out here for the purpose of investing in real estate* He found a dealer who told him it was the liveliest town on earth and that there was not a time, day or night, that a man could go out on tbe streets and not see a crowd of people engaged at something, says the Denver Times. “O, that’s an old lake,” said tbe Montana man. "I can go out here and in two minutes there won’t bo a soul in sight.’’ "I’ll just bet you a deed to those lots against a barrel of the original Ken tucky that you can’t do it.” Tbe bet was arranged with the bar tender ae a witness, and the two walked out of the door. Just as tbe Montana man got outside a big six shooter drop ped out of bis pocket and in falling discharged itself. Tbe people in those days knew what that noise meant and began to seek cover in the business houses and in their homes. And they did not come out in tbe two minute time fixed either. Tbe Montana man won his bet, and it is said that he is still living on the two lots enjoying life. 1100 Reward 1100.
