Head Quarters, Grand Camp If Ohio
Mii!ia, aug. 10, 1913.
The Governor OF OHIO met the troops
marching to the frontiers, on the late en-
Urgency, at Frankhpton, g made every ar
rangement in his power to facilitate their
march. On his arrival at Upper Sandusky,
his excellency learned that the enemy were
defeated and had retreated with much pre-.
cipitation. The commanding General met
his exceilency at that place, communicated
his views, and made rcQuistion of 1000 TO
remain Tor the protection Of the frontiers
to facilitate the operations of the army in
forwarding supplies and munitions of war,
and to assist in repeling any invasion, which
might take place, within the time limited
for their continuance in service. In the
meautiloe, his eXcelieucy having detailed
the number required, and discharged the
balance, deems it necessary TO provide for
the re let Of those in service, by detachment
from the militia OF the other divisions mere
remote from the frontiers. He therefore
orders one regiment from the lst one from
the Sd. and one from the 18th division. The
kaianca OF the quota, TO the amount of one
battalion, he expects will be furnished by
Volunteers from the different divisions.--
His exceieney Will accept volunteers to any
amount, not exceeding 1000, tor the limit
ed time OF three months, oDiy, from the
time OF their arrival at the Grand Camp.
or the place appointed for the genera, rem
devious of the troops. Satisfied with their
conduct, his excelency informs the troops,
that thsir fasigues have not been unavailins.
They have rendered service to their coun-
try OF which they seem unconscious. They
have covered the frontiers, protected the
Inhabitants with few exceptions) flom che
ind.scrimnate slaughter of the unprincipled
enemy's more savage allies. They have
kept open the communication with the
/, North Western Army, & shielded is sup
pies. Indeed, it may not perhaps tie 600
much to say that they have saved the
my from total destruction; and although
compelled to return, without an opportun,
tyor measuring their strength with the en-
envy, yet they may be satisfied and content
with what they have done. They have eff
fectuated and secured the object and &C
Complished the designs of the call. which
was TO prevent disaster, and the consee aent
.embarrassments in the operations OF the
campaign, and secure the safety of the
different detachments and divisions of the
ARMY.
