Os bis plans, Gen. Wheeler said: ‘•Tomorrow I "hall probably call at the armory building. On Wednesday lehall review the cadets at West Point. I hope to be able to get away from New York for Huntsville not lat er than Friday. If nothing prevents me, I shall slop over one day at Wash ington. «I have orders to Organize six* regi- Dients of cavalry to go to Cuba. The Fifth cavalry is BOW at Huntsville; tbs First cavalry has been ordered from Camp Wikoff to relieve the eight in Dakota, the Eighth to proceed to Huntsville for preparation for Cuba; the Ninth goes to Colorado to relieve the Seventh, the latter going to Hunt ville; the Second, Sixth and Tenth, all at Camp Wikoff, have been ordered to Huntsville direct' and will move as I go on as transportation can be arrang ed. “There are 5,000 troops at Hunts ville, all volunteers, except the Fifth cavalry. “We had 22,500 soldiers from Banti ago at Camp Wikoff, and 7,000 from Tampa and other places. About 10,000 of this number found their way into the hospital at one time or another. The deaths up to date are 263 Os the Santiago troops fully three-fourths were ill when they reached Montauk. “About 100 men reported daily to the doctors, and about half this num ber were considered sick enough to go into the hospitals, and were so order ed “Notwithstanding these facte, I be lieve Montauk Point an ideal camp ing place, and do not think the gov* ernment could have chosen a better place. We would have bad as much idleness, and, perhaps, with greater mortality, if it had not been for the beautiful location of the camp. When I was ordered there I found few changes to make, the chief defect be ing a lack of nurses. I soon remedied this, through the kindness of the Red Cross Society and kindred organiza tions. “When Camp Wikoff was most pop ulous there were twenty eight square miles of tents. All the troops have been sent home except seven regi* ments. Five have their oroers to move to various places, and there remains without orders only the Seventh In fantry and the Second ' Engineers Corps. Camp Wikoff will soon pass into history.” Important to Ladies, The ladies of Griffin in order to pro mote economy of visiting time, have arranged the population into four classes, and consider the following to ‘be as fairly equal a territorial distri bution of themselves as it is possible to make, viz: First Class—On the First Thursday of each month, those ladies will re ceivs who live in the 3rd Ward, and also those who live in that portion of the' 4th Ward east of Tenth street Second Class—On each Second Thursday the ladies will receive Who live in the Fourth Ward west of tenth street and also all who live in the Ist Ward to the south of the Central rail road.

DECLARE THE WORK A FARCE- United States Peace Commission Not Popular at All in Paris. Paris, Sept. 27.—While the recep tion accorded to the United States peace commissioners was all that could be desired, and while the French for eign office has taken great pains to treat the American and Spanish com missioners in precisely the same man ner, it must be admitted that the gen eral atmosphere in Paris, especially the diplomatic atmosphere, does not incline toward America. It is the general impression here that the American commissioners have instructions to provide for the retention of Manila and the island of Luzon, “and for a commission to pre tend to negotiate is a farce,” said a prominent diplomat. The commission for the first lime since its appointment met as a body today for two hours in the drawing room of the Continental hotel. The suite cf rooms, which the former Em press Eugenia at one time used, will probably be acquired by the commis sioners. They will be used for execu tive sessions and official beadquarters. As a joint commission it will possi bly not organize with a presiding member from either commission. Judge Day and Mr. Whitelaw Reid are quartered at the hotel overlooking the Tuileries Gardens and the Other commissioners are equally comforta >le. The Americans enjoyed sunny weather during their first day in Paris and they are all in good health and spirits. The French government is arrang ing to provide at the salon, where the joint sessions of the commissioners will be held, an elaborate buffet daily for the use of all the commissioners. The morning and afternoon sessions of the United States peace commis sioners today were devoted to internal affairs of the commission and to the systemization of the working force. Gen. Forrest’s War Horse- The strong attachment which a lorse sometimes exhibits for hie mas ter is touchingly shown by an incident n Drake’s Annals of the Army Os Ten nessee. During Gen. Forrest’s brilliant and memorable movement against the flank and rear of Col. Coburn’s regi ment at the battle of Thomson’s Sta tion, be was mounted on his favorite horse, Roderick; desiring to press the enemy from a strong position across an open field, he appeared upon the flank of one of his regiments and or dered it to move on. The men leaped to their feet and with loud cheers dashed forward under a hot fire. The general, attended by bis son, Lieut. William Forrest, accompanied the charge, and iu the conflict which re sulted in the overthrow of the enemy Roderick was wounded in three places- The general dismounted and changed horses with his son, charging him to ead Roderick to the rear and have his wants well attended to On reaching the bottlers Lieut. Forrest had the horse stripped of saddle and bridle, supposing that he was too badly wounded to attempt to get out of the way. But Roderick, as soon as he whs set at liberty, began to nose around, evidently in search of bis master, and when Gen. Forrest’s voice, clear and unmistakable, was heard in the dis tance directing another attack, Roder ick instantly pricked up bis ears, and neighing eagerly in answer, dashed away before he could be intercepted, guided by the sound of battle, which at that moment broke out afresh. Lieut. Forrest, fearing bis father’s dis pleasure, immediately mounted, and with several attendants, gave chase, but Roderick outstripped his pursuers and when found was following quietly at the general’s beels, having leaped three fences in bis progress, besides getting another wound, from which he was bleeding -freely.- The general was' in great wrath over the supposed neg ligence, but when the case was ex plained to him he burst into tears and threw bis arms about the horse. It was the last time be caressed him, for a little while afterwards the old horse died. His love for his master had killed him.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8», 1808. THE THIRD REGIMENT. Will It Be Sent to Jacksonville, or Di rect to Cuba? ■MMiiaHnaWßaw A special from Jacksonville to the Atlanta Constitution says: Bo far as I could learn today, the only doubt as to the future of the Third Georgia regiment arises from a difference of opinion as to whether or not it is best, uoder'existiog circum stances, to send them to Jacksonville. They have already been assigned to General Lee’s command and are part of the Seventh corps, bnt in the inter est of economy the war department may decide to let - them remain in Griffin until the army of occupation starts for Cuba and then to send them direct to Savannah or to Charleston for embarkation. At either one or at both of these places some transports will be loaded, and the Third is likely to break its camp only to get on board one of the government’s chartered ves sels. I asked General Lee today about the Georgia boys and he said he bad re ceived do orders as to their disposition. “But I understand they are going to go with me to Cuba,” be said, “and I am glad of it. Several people who have seen the regiment have made most complimentary reports to me in regard to it, and I understand it is made up of just the sort of men we will need. We are not going to have any trouble in Cuba when we land, or for a while afterwards, but there are so many complications threatened that we should have the very best the country has before we get through. I have been officially informed that the Third Georgia is assigned to me, and a couple of weeks ago I received a letter from Colonel Candler saying he was ready to start for Jacksonville, but since then I have not had any com munication from Washington or from him on the subject.” “Have you found a camping place for them in the event that they should oome?” I asked. “Not yet, but you can say to them for me that we’ll give them the beat we’ve got, and that is saying a good deal. I wish I bad more information to give you,.but I really know less about the situation than you do.” This was as far as I could go, but even this much means that the Third is to be a part of Lee’s invading force, and all Georgia should be proud that so fine a regiment is going to have so fine a commander.
