(From a Staff CorrBnd?Dt.) Lincoln, July 27. (Special) As soon as the war department has given of' ficial recognition to the new Sixth regiment it is probable that all three regiments of the brigade and their un its will at once be mobelized at Fort Crook without waiting for final mus ter, that action being taken after ar riving at the fort. Organization of the brigade is prog ressing nicely and is practically com pleted, according to General Harries, so that when the ast repiment is fin ally mustered there will be nothing left to be done. The general is (very) proud of his brigade of Nebraska boys and expects great things from them when it comes to real service. Nebraska troops have always made a most enviable record in war service and the make-up of the present brigade would indicate that the record lose none of its luster when the Nebraska brigade goes into the fray under the leadership of Gen eral Harries.
