An effort will to mad* to organise a now conqainy of infantry In Savannah to to attached to the First Regiment. This was decided at a meeting of the officers of the First Battalion held last night at the Regimental Armory. Nearly all the officers seemed to enter with alacrity Int the plan piv.pnwrd by Col. T. 8. Wvlly. Jr., for the organisation of anew com pany, and they are sanguine of comptoe success. A committee was appointed to consider the selection of officers for the new com pany. This committee consist# of Col. Wylly, Capt. D. V. Ul©-t#on of th© Irish Ja.iper Greens, Capt. J. T. West of th© Savannah Cadets. Capt. C. II Ron etna nn of the German 4'olunteers and ('apt. G. A.

Col. Wylly told lh© officers that he be • teved there Would not be the slightest trouble In organising another company Buch was hla Idea when he prof>o©d to the Governor in Atlanta la.-a week that • his to a part of the plan for the re-es tablishment of the regiment upon the same footing It occupied before th© pas sage of he bin making the Bav tnnah \*ol untecr Guards a battalion of heavy ar tillery. He learned yesterday by letter from Atlanta, he said, that a letter had been received there from h Ravannuh man by th© Gov**rnor. he Ravannaman ©tir ing the Governor that If he were allowed to go on with the work of organising a n* w company h© could have It complete within twenty-four hours. Another |*art of the scheme for th# re organisation of the rg>m*nt is to admit three more out-of-town companies Al ready there are three companies that form a distinct battalion, the Third, the com panies being at Waynesboro. Bt.n* .-toro and lirun-wlck. Mount Vernon. Bwsine boro and BylvanUi have applied for per mission to organize companies, and the Governor. Col. Wylly announc'd to th© officers, had agreed to allow them to lo m). When organised, the new companies will to attached to the F'lrwi Infantry, and they, with the new on© organised in Bavannah. will lake the puce of th© four companies of the Guards that have been withdrawn from the regiaunt.

It was thought that the companies should to formed in this .mm©lJato section, such being the plan of organiz itlon of the sev eral regiments.

It la thought th© majority of the officers will concur with Col. Wylly' and that the division of the tort a lion for purposes of administration will to eff#c#*d. Col. Wylly would like to have the five companies of the battal ion and the one to to organized here formed Into battalion# of two com panies each.
