Set.
I It is very probable that another eon
J- lgnment of iocal men which is likely
to be composed of all colored draltecs
. will leave the city within the next few
days. At present the government is
i making active preparations to cull to
the colors such of the colored men as
J1 have been drafted whose order nuin
ters have been reached. Of the 7(1
that are selected from Fairmont there
nre ten colored men. i'ne colored
nen have not been culled in the ordci
in which they were drawn, awaiting
preparations to care for them at the
4 cantonments.
Captain Kcmble White, of the local
hoard, has received no information
relative to another call, although he
is expecting th's at any time. Another
call of 20 per cent., all white men
Will complete Fairmont's quota.
The train taking the third quota ot
i Fairmont men left the city on time
XI}, josterday afternoon and was scliedl[
uled to get at Camp Lee at (Lull o'clock

and is likely to be called to the colors ,
at any time. He Is at this time j
straightening out business affairs so !
ar. to be ready to respond to the call

to the call when it comes. Major
Smith served a number of years in the
guard being identified with the commissary
department and later acted
as aid to General W. W. Scott, brigade
commander.
Captain Conley is anxious to see
active service and realizing that his
rank In the legal department might
i not get him into active service for a
j long time made the request that he
be placed where he would be called
: sooner into the Federal service.
