One of the companies, the Wilkinson Rifles, is from the county of that name, and numbers 80 men. Their uniform is of Georgia kersey.

Beall; First Lieutenant, D. M. Clay; Second Lieut., S. H. Washington; Ensign, J. Rivers; Surgeon, Dr. Harris Fisher; Orderly Sergeant, M. E. Boatwright; Second Serg't E. M. Clay; Third Sergeant, A.

blished yesterday, from the leading Black Republican papers of Philadelphia, a description of Lincoln's Ragged Regiments, and we now give the other side of the picture, as viewed by a correspondent of the Baltimore exchange on his route from Augusta, Georgia, last week: Before I left the far South, seven regiments of Georgia and Alabama troops had left for Virginia, and orders were issued on Wednesday last to the Atlanta (Georgia) regiment, and to the Second Alabama Regiment, at Montgomery,nsportation, are brought into requisition. The troops are not only fully armed and equipped themselves, but attached to each train are cars loaded with all the arms, habiliments, and necessaries of war. The Fifth Georgia Regiment was resting at Augusta, awaiting facilities for transportation. At Florence, S. C., I met the famous Palmetto Regiment, which garrisoned Morris Island at the siege of Sumter. They had three extra trains of cars, which they had just left to partake of breakfast.
