T GOOD BYE THIRD Negroes Recsive Mustering Out Orders MACON REJOICES Thsy Will Not be Given the Customary Thirty Uoya Furlough YA forts for Their Re tention Fail, Macon, Oa Januaiy 5. Special to At lanta Constitution. Orders were receiv ed at the corps headquarters' today re lative to the mustering out of the Sixth Virginia :.ml Third North Carolina, the negro regiments which are stationed here. This order has been expected for some time, and the news will be read wilh great satisfaction by many Macon peo ple, who have been wishing that the negroes would be sent away. They will not be given the usual thirty days' fur lough, as is customary, but will be turned loose as soon as possible. The paymasters are here, and will begin work at once. The mustering officer, Coptain Frederick, has been ordered to Macon, and is on bis way here now. The work of inusteiiiig out the men w ill only take bout ten days, and it is said that the poli.vmen will have their hands full when the negroes an paid off ami mustered out. It is understood that tney will try to cause i rouble after they are mustered out, but tile officers at the headquar ters say th t the soldiers will assist the policemen ill handling them. These two regiments have been the cause of all the trouble with the soldiers in Macon, and the citizens and other soldiers aie glad to harii that they are to lie sent away. orders were received it the headquar ters this afternoon ordering the Thir-ly-llit Michigan, which is at present in Knoxville. in Santa Clara province, Cuba. Th y orders diieet that the reg iment move al once. As this regiment is the only one siationeo at Knoxville. th.' camp will b.' made' vac. in by iis departure. General Wilson said this morning that he thought that he would leave Macon either Sunday or Monday. He said that it was due to the f.ck of transports that he did not get away yesterday, as was? intended. The soldiers all seem satisfied since they have found out that they will not be moved soon. The paymasters arriv ed in the city tody, 'and will begin pay ing off the men tomorrow. They will start with the Seventh cavalry. It is piubable that they will not eomenee paying off the Third North Carolina and the Sixth Virginia until the mus tering officer arrives. FRUITLESS EFFORTS. A Washington special to the Greens boro Telegram of yesterday sys: "Not witlist i.nding the orders of tin war department, however, an earnest attempt is being made still to retain the Third No: th Carolina in the ser vice whose members do not desire to leave a good thing. Representative White, of the First district, the col ored representative from the State, ac omp nie by Mr. Cheatham, of North Carolina, the colored Recorder of Deeds for the 'District of Columbia, called a I the Executive Mansion yesterday morning, and mad." an appeal to the I'lc.-ddeiit to continue the regiment in the service. Mr. White was at a dis- dvantage owing to the number of af fiays in which the riRemeiit have li.en concerned, but he made the best of a bad ease, and made a 'ood plea for the lelellli'ill of the regiment, denying la the Presidiiu many of the charges which have appe; io.l - i;,,: t ;!ie regi ment since it onteivl lee : . : eiee. The I'lesiileiU premised th two . ..i a., lead ers liiai he would , ,ms ,ler t'.i.. p. imposi tion to iitain them. Ui! i ih , h mcts are that the i "ginii".,; hae i , go.fi f the orders are not l, 'Wise. I. It-pri. scii- talive White will introdiue a b.ll in the house to gram the- regiment . sixty days f gr 'e before ordering them to be mustered out of the service. The Ninth Carolina gentleman also made an effort to get the war department to rescind the orders issued, but were unsuccess ful. The regiment is now stationed at Macon. Georgia, where it will probably lie mustered out unless the President countermands the orders of the w ar de P' :tment." FAIR SUNDAY. For Raltitrh and viciniiv Tc.iir ,.nM r tonight, lliii Sunday.

Brethren of Raleigh, we trust that each one of you will try to find out our visiting brethren anil invite them to our Lodges. Politeness and courtesy costs but little but it goes a great way in life. We suggested a few weeks ago the advisability, as well as the necessity of a better o: gani.ation o" our city Lodges and Kncampment, for more ef fectual work. A meeting together -Cisionully of the chief officers of each body would bring about a better feeling and would enable them to mature plans that would be of lasting hem lit to all branches of the order. Who will take the initial step toward this move? On Thursday evening, December tin "ftth. 189S. our Grand Secret' iry. assiM- ed by a staff of twenty lireth:en from Covenant Lodge No. li. and a large oei egation from other Lodges, reorganized Phalanx Lodge No. 1". in the town of Washington.

Kvcry member otighi to feci a pride in it and to strive to kindle enthusiasm in the order in apreeiation of the fact that one benevolent order, at least, in Raleigh, among the white people, own their building. We have struggled long anil faithful to accomplish this end. During the past !S years of the Iodge's existence It has dispensed in Raleigh for charity and benevolence alone more than six thousind dollais. It has visit ed the sick: it has" relieved many a case of distress; it has paid the last sad tribute of respect to many of its dead and it lias done much to feed, clothe and educate the orplnns, and still has s un., thing to invest in a home for the order.
