At 12 o'clock three huiitlred men had been examined, but there was no one exiept Dr. Winters that; knew who had passed or failed on (ho examination. It is well known though that the number to be discarded will be small, and only those who have some serious fault physi cally will be refused. Dr. Winter said to a reporter that it was one of the finest bodies of volunteers he ever saw. The men all look strong and healthy, and there is not an '...unwell man in camp .so far reported. .'The.' work of organization of the com panies was begun to-day, and orders forming the regiment were also issued by Adjutant General Cowles. Early this morning t lie first order is sued placed Colonel Ariutield in com mand. The following is a copy of the original order: ; . "General Order No. 2. "Col T. F. Armliehl. First. Regiment North Carolina Volunteers, U. S. Army, is hereby appointed 'commanding, officer of the camp of mobilization (Camp Bryan Grimes.) He will be obeyed and respect ed accordingly. t'ol.

Marshall, U. S. A. He will also assign captains of companies to rank as such from original commission in the Stale Guard. (Signed.) "A. D. COWLES," "Adjutant General." This order, was issued shortly before 12 o'clock, and at 2 o'clock it was posted at Camp Bryan Grimes.'.'' I'll is is (he first net. that begins re gular discipline, and was the first of ficial order granting proper authority to Col. Armliehl, . Captain Greshani, U. S, "A., left the Adjutant -General's office shortly before ope o'clock. All arrangements-for' mus tering in the men had at that hour been completed. Before leaving he received from the Adjutant General the last order neces sary which appoints the captains of the various companies forming the new re giment. . The order is as follows: "Cnpttiiu .loliu C. Greshnm, 7th Cavalry: .-Mustering in N. C.

Tins soldier boys are rapidly settling themselves down to camp life. ' The -men- are learning the streets and numbers of the camp and since the discipline has not yet been strictly enforced some men are visitiug in town and having u royal good time generally. Lust night the first five men in each company went on duty. It wus not pleasant duly, for those who had urrived shortly before sunset, but the work went on and all night silently Jhe picket guards kept watch while the thousand soldiers slept. Every man in the camp was up bright and early this morning. The Queen City. - Guards breakfasted as (he guests of their popular captain, H. S. Chadwick.. This company is one of the best from the State Guard, and while it is, true that Captain Chadwick is (lie yuongest. captain in point of com missioned service, it is safe to say there is no more popular officer in the camp. Not until the men have all been nnts lered in, it is said, will the privates know who have been refused on account of physical examination, but this will not keep them long in suspense. So soon as u company is ready to present itself for mustering in. Captain Gresham will call the sound men to the front and when they have formed (heniselves in proper lines he will read to them the oath required of the United States soldier, and this each will take by raising his right arm. The men already settled at the camp have been looking forward to the ur- rival of the Second Regiment companies. and especially for thu expected here to-day. All nay Lieutenant Marshall has been arranging quarters for the ad ditional men that arrive this afternoon. The Goldsboro company was given the position in tlie first, regiment formerly held by (he Greenville company, the volunteers that dropped out ufter the camp was named in their honor. On the regular (rain from (he west this al'(eniodii came 84 men led by Captain I!. Percy Gray, of Greensboro. This company is one of the best in (he Second Regiment and is composed of some of the best people in Guilford county. On the southbound Seaboard Air Line train from Wehlon (he Washington com pany, with Captain W. C. Rodman in command, arrived, and at 5 o'clock this ul'tenioou a, special train is expected to bring the Wilmington company to Camp Bryan Grimes. The Wilmington officers are Captain Donald MacRae: First Lieu tenant. C. II. White; Second Lieutenant, R. II. Cowan. . The second volunteer regiment will lie composed of the following companies: Burlington' J.-II. Holt, captain. Greensboro R. Percy Gray, captaiu. Reidsville R. G.

The other three companies in the re giment will be announced later. .The camp is all astir this afternoon making ready for those companies and preparing for a more comfortable night's rest than that of last night. Every man in the cump eagerly awaits the news and patriotism runs high. There are many interesting features about the cump and by no means least of these is the make-up of the First Regi ment. In the Winston company is one niaif from Texn s, and lust night be took his first ride on an electric car. He is used to riding Broncos, nt least he told me b was.
